PIG Is MISSING

Wanted: Information concerning
trained pigs. Communicate with po-
lice headquarters or James Melody,
413 East Main street.
Police headquarters detectives are
unable to specify concerning the breed
as they are not experts but admit that
they are looking for a pig and under
stand that it is trained. According to
police information, James secured the
animal from one of Polls recent acts
as the actors desired to part with it
on account of its becoming over
weight. He put it in a wagon, sup
posed that he tied it tightly and then
drove the team to Heaphy's stables.
Before he could free Herr Pig, he
freed himself and was last seen dis
appearing through the stable doors.

Proposed Bond Not
For Purchase Of
PARROT Property


Henry P. PARROT, president of the
Parrott Varnish Company is calling to
the attention of the voters that the
proposed issue of 5000 bonds for a
park in the North End, is for the pur-
chase of the so-called Hairs lot and
not for the property near his factory
as many people have been led to be-
heve.
MIR. Parrott was a caller at the City
Hall today. He said that many resi-
dents of the North End are under the
impression that it is up to the Park
Commissioners or the Common Coun-
ell to designate in which place the
park shall be located.
The Park Commissioners some time
ago, recommended and approved a
resolution introduced in the Common
Council by Alderman Brady for the
purchase of Hairs lot for the park.
The proposed issued of bonds is to
buy that property.

NEW HAVEN STOCK
AND BOND RALLY

New York, Oct 27-New Haven
securities were heavy at the open
ing, today. Otherwise, the market
was almost stationary with firm I'M
dertone and an unusually light
amount of trade. New Haven de-
clined 58 on the opening transac-
lions, but was held fractionally above
the low level recently established. The
convertible skies, however, made
new low level, selling at 104 3-8.
Although trading was dull all
through the morning, the stock mar
ket showed quiet strength. A factor
contributing in large measure to the
firm tone of the market was the re-
duction Of the German bank rate
from to 1-2 percent which serv-
ed to al1ay apprehension respecting
onetary conditions abroad. The
change put an end to reports of an
other advance in British discounts
and implied greater ease for the re-
mainder of the year! Moderate buy
ing of all the principal stocks put
them about a point higher. The aver
age advances were made in cases in
