FINANCE

NEW YORK. Aug. 9.-The demand
for industrial stocks again determined
the character Of the market today.
In the early transactions the course
OF prices was uncertain. A few spe-
cialties rose buoyantly but in other
quarters restraint was imposed by
realizing sales. The disposition TO
take profits was apparent throughout
but interest in the war shares was
unagging. During the afternoon rail-
roads ss well as industrials responded
TO broad buying movement which
continued TO the close. Last quota
tons were on a substantially higher
basis. Total sales were 695.OOO
shares.
United States Steel touched a new
high mark for the movement at 7fZ
Mtor. tobacco and petroleum shares
developed strength. These high re-
cords were established: General Mo-
tors 2i9; Willys-Overlsnd 49,: west
inghouse Electric 1l42, United States
Industrial Alcohol 71A.
There was an unusual break in ex-
change rates. Exchange on London
declined TO 4.75ia a new low record
for the war period.
Bonds were irregular Total sales,
par value. $4,000 900.
United States and Panama bonds
advanced a TO y on call.

NATIVES OF INDIA SHOWING UNREST
 TOWARD WHITES

Manila July 6.-Serious unrest throughout India, is reported by off cers and passengers of the Spanish steamer Atlantique which has arrived here after touching at Alden, Arabia, Colombo, CeyIon and Singapore. The official explanation is that the troubles are due to the present international differences but it is said they are in reality the result of aninosity felt by the natives against the white popula- ton.
 There have been several outbreaks, 1t is reported, in the vicinity. of Co., lombo, where 1t is understood revolt ing natives were severely punished by British military forces. Several Eng 1ishmen have been murdered and Co., lou1bo stores have been sacked.
 As result martial law has been de- clared, all Europeans have been armed and all British subjects physically fit have been mustered into the military service. Arrangements are said to have been made to transport all white women and children either to Austra- Ha or their home countries.
 The Aftlantique's captain is author have travelled recently throughout In dfaL consider the situation serious. There have been no further outbreaks at Singapore but because of the un- easiness over conditions the authori- ties have called for service all Britons between the ages of 20 and 35. l! The native population of British North Borneo also is in disorder.

NEWT0WN PEOPLE
 RING WELKlN ON
 INDEPENDENCE DAY
Many Kinds of Celebrations Mark Observance of
 Fourth of July.
Especial to The Fa.rmer.)

,Newtown, July 6.-The national hol- tday was obserVed with more than or dinary enthusiasm this year. While Dodgingtown. Hawleyvflle and Sandy Hook villages held neighborhood af- fairs, the main interest centered in the borough, where the citizens cele- bra&ed the installation of the electric lighting system, Joy a band concert, fireworks and red, white and blue lights last evening. The Main street from North school to South school building was festooned with rows of electric lights across the space that culnninated in @ brilliant sptre of lights up the Liberty pole, visible all over the borough. The townspeople on foot crowded the sidewalks on both sides while scores of automobiles parked on the lawns, and ythe happy occupants enjoyed the music and fireworks The Danb1lry band played national airs. which were punctuated at the close of each familiar tune with applause, cheers, and the blaDre of more than 100 automobile horns. The concert began at and lasted until 10 o'clock, when the guests of the Inn and their, friends passed into the main reception room and enjoyed dancing to the music of the band orchestra The Sandy Hook contingent then returned to that v1l- lage to finish it's festivities by a dance at St. MarysS hall. Earlier in the eve ming the Sandy Hook band delighted

War ner while 3. fine display of fireworks were set off from the Nianttc Mills pond In the afternoon the Dodging- town volunteer fire department held a grounds, and enjoyed a dance in the fremen's hall. Tn Hawleyvdl1e the Ineigdborhood idea of celebrating the holiday was also carried out with a vim not paraIleIede there in recent years, although many of its residents attoed to the Center in the evening to see the turning on of the electric lights in the borough. Not in recent years has the Fourth been celebrated in town so generally as this year. Nearly every family had a. display of fire works in the evening, and all the town juveniles seemed to have liberal sup plies of frecrackers and the modern forms of ear-splitting devices. The only thing they missed in the borough celebration was the ringing of the church bells of which ttme-honored privilege they were denied by both town and eoclesiastic authorities, backed by the whole constabulary Of sNSewtoTvn and two imported ''cops. . For the first time in the history of Newtown the church bells did not ush- CT in the Glorious Day.
 Among the Sandy Hook representa- tives residing elsewhere who spent the holiday here were noted: John Crib bon, John F. KdTbrfde and Andrew J. IDonneI1an Grom New Jerseyl, James Donohue from Brooklyn. and John H. Keane and A. F'. Donlon from Bridge port.
 An effort is being made to rejhven- ate the Boy Scouts in town, and an other meeting will be held this week with te object in view. A society that wdn carry out the original principles of Nthe order will receive the support of 1 thought tfl parents here 1t is expected.

BURGLAR ARRAYED
 IN NATTY CLOTHES
 ROBS STAGG HOME
'tCentleman Robber" Visits Stratford Dwelling And
 Takes Silverware.
(specta Ito The Farmer.)

Stratford, July GA gentleman bur Elar' raided the house of the late Deputy Sheriff Charles Stagg about 5 O clock Sunday morning. The silver ware of the family was procured be fore the gentleman was frightened away.
 It was as early as o'clock when the servants in the Stagg home heard noises in the dining room and went downstairs to investigate. They saw | a we1l-dressed young man of medium height. dressed in a natty blue suit and wearing a collar and tie to dis tinguish him from the ordinary in truder. He was helping himself to what was on the buffet. The servants screamed but the burglar was not frightened. He calmly collected his choices, walked to a side door leading from the room, thence to 9, door lead ing to the street and left the house. The servants cries didn't bring any body to their aid, so they telephoned to the Stratford police. No clue has been found.
 Members of the state police force had been in the neighborhood half an hour before the burglar was discov- cred, waiting for violators of the auto
 mobile laws. For this reason, the ex- ploit of the burglar is regarded as | ''nervy." He jirnnied open a. window in the dining room, to effect his en- trance.
 The, servants were alone in the
 house. Mrs. Emma Stagg and Mrs. Pauline Weller, who afe living in the dwelling, had gone away for the hol- fdays.
 The Stratford town court was od1- c1ally opened Monday and half dozen automobile cases were heard. The vto- lators gave fictitious names in all but two instances. All were fined s and costs. Richard Thompson and Walter Nolan of New Haven are the two who gave their correct names. They were arrested for having their headlights unnghted. They asserted they ex- plafned to Consta:Eles Fellow and Sta cey that the lights had been jared out and showed them how warm the lamps were. Their demonstration had no eff feet.
 The celebration in Stratford of Inde- pendence Day was quiet. Not an ac- cident of seriousness marred the pleas ure of the day. Kenneth Wilkinson, aged n, received 8 powder burn.
