 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Peace Rumors and Favorable Do- mestic Trade Conditions Ac-
 ccleratc Rise of Stocks

New York, April 9.-Interest in to- oay,s stock market centered mainly around Bethlehem Steel by reason of the sensational movement in that stock yesterday. The opening tran sections consisted of 2,0OO shares at llo to 1o1. compared with yesterdays close of 1O5. The stock then declined to 105, 104 and 103 It soon recov- cred, however, selling at 115. Nearly all the dealings were for small amounts, many odd lots of less than loO shares changing hands.
 From 115 Bethlehem Steel went pack 10 lOS, then up again to III. The stock became less prominent as otner ShareS ascended on the largest lirst hour of business recorded since the oays Immediately preceding the war. At that time however, the activity was on falling prices. To- days early trading was all ia the other direction, the rise being ac- celerated by peace rumors and favor able domestic trade conditions as re- ported by the treasury department. Failure of large local department store was without effect on sentiment.

PNEUMONIA LEADS IN
 NUMBER OF DEATHS
State. Board of Health Submits Report to Legislature For Year Ending
 September 90. 1914.

Hartford April 9.-The state board of health today submitted to the leg islature it's annual report for the year ending September 30, 1914. The vital statistics for 1913 are summarized while those for the nine months of 1914 are approximated. pr. Joseph H. Townsend, the secretary, points out that pneumonia now causes more deaths in Connecticut than any other single disease. In 1913 there were 1855 deaths and 576 cases of children under two years and 400 cases were of persons over 70 years of age. By chart it is shown that for 30 year period, while there has been a decline in the death rate from most of the infectious diseases, there has been d constant increase in certain other dis cases, such as brights disease, apop- lexy and cancer.
 In 1913 pulmonary consumption claimed 1,436 persons, and 1914 is credited with 1,4S3 deaths from this cause There has been a fall of 45 per cent in the death rate in the past 30 years yet there has been little change in the past three years in re- gard to consumption. Diphtheria. is credited with 221 deaths out of 2,430 cases in 1913, and 22S deaths out of 2,7o5 cases in 1914. The low death rate is attributed to the policy of bac- pathological examination of suspected cases and the free distribution of anti-toxin. Ninety per cent. of the deaths were of children.
 Typhoid was reported in 1913 from SS towns with 1,009 cases resulting in 131 deaths. In 1914 there were 723 cases in S2 towns within 106 deaths. It is pointed out that all physicians have not reported more than three fourths of the cases, and this is con- sidered not to be creditable to the medical profession.
