STOCK MARKET

New York. April 1 4. Opening Bethlehem Steel was again the dis turbing feature of to-day,s stock mar ket, opening with a sale of 14,oOO shares at 128 to 12s against yester- days final price, of 125. The stock steadily ascended to 14O, making a five point jump to 1 45, an advance of 20 points in less than 10 minutes From this level it descended even more speedily to 130. losing three quarters of it's pyrotechnic rise. The rest of the list was strong but order ly, Union Pacific. Southern Pacific and the coppers rising from 1 to almost 3 points with further substantial gains in Automobile shares. Trading was furiously active during the first half hour and embraced all varieties of is- sues.
 Noon-It was estimated that 700, 900 Shares changed hands during the morning. Bethlehem Steel became increasingly inactive after the first hour, recovering six points from it's decline to 130 only to fall back again. Business broadened with the progress of the session until it comprehended even the most inactive issues. The short interest was again driven to cover, especially in US. Steel and the coppers. Realizing sales, which were general among professional traders, checked the advance by midday, Union Pacific, Reading, U. s. Steel and the coppers falling back a point. Bonds were irregular.

PAPER FROM ASH HEAPS IS USED TO
 WRAP BREAD HERE
Health Board Inspectors Find That Filthy Coverings Are
 Used For Food.

Beginning May 1, all bakers in the city and those who sell bread in the city must wrap it in paper of stan dard size before allowing 1t to pass into the hands of purchaser or be- fore delivering it to the home or place of business of purchaser.
 At the meeting of the board of health last evening this rule was adopted. The statutes provide a $50 ther, storekeepers must provide a sanitary receptacle for bread that is left at their doors before opening time. The rulings are the result of inspections by James e. Grace iI- spector of the health department, who has visited bakeshops, delicatessen and grocery stores in Bridgeport and has found that of 300 retail establish ments. only IA had wrapped their bread in paper.
 It is alleged that in some of the smaller places. newspapers, taken from ash heaps or bought from junk men has been used.
 The board discussed the proposi- ton at length and. although it was at Lambert that all bread be wrapped in sanitary paper before it left the bakeshops, it is believed that pro tests from bakers throughout the city prevented carrying through of this order. The ruling, however, has near 1y the same effect for it will read ssTo food commodities shall be sold in Bridgeport unless wrapped in pa per approved by the board of health =
 This rule, it is thought, wdll not be enforced against wholesale bakers but is designed to prevent the small shop keeper from, selling his commodity in filthy wrapping paper.
 F. J. Huda, son of a baker by that name. appeared before the board to say that 1t is almost Impossible to wrap 1oaves of rye and Vienna bread owing to their shape, and that 1t has been found in some instances to be a cloak for green -mould' upon the shelves of dishonest storekeepers.
 Though should like to have~seen the bread wrapping order passed to include all bakers. the present step is one in the right direction said Com missioner Lambert after the meeting. The board was unanimous in their ruling.

STRATFORD'S NEW
 COURT PROVOKES LIVELY ARGUMENT
Judiciary Committee Hears Some Warm Testimony
 At Big Hearing.

Hartford, April 14.-After short recess the Judiciary committee. which had finished its hearings at least once this season, resumed them again yesterday.
 The first matters taken care of were resolutions appointing a judge and deputy judge for the. town court of Stratford, new town court. Two names appeared on the assignment list, that of Frank. E. Blakeman for deputy judge. The two representa- tives from Stratford. Messrs. Blake man and Morehouse. were enthusi- astica1ly for the two men named. They said they had been unable to find law yers for the place and the candidates mentioned were 1aynnen and they were certainly the best laymen available for the place. Frederick s. Beard sley of Stratford said the townspeop1e were endeavoring to build up nor al community in Stratfofd and he thought in view of the end, that the two men should be named without any dissent Charles Wells of Strat- ford was of the same mind.
 At this point Senator Salmon of Westport presented the name of Ed ward F. Leeds for judge of<the court announcing that there was no oppo- S1t1On to the appointment or MT. Bevans for deputy judge and intimat- ing that great deal of opposition to the appointment of MT. Blakeman was forthcoming.
 F. E. Conine, chairman of the Re publican town committee, called on a half-dozen witnesses whose testimony showed that the party was at odds as to the place. He said the town com mittee was unanimously in favor of Leeds for judge and was, By the same token, opposed to B1akeman, who he said, was related to the representative of that name. He said the represen- tatives had agreed on the two candt- dates without consulting the town committee and he asserted that MT. BIakeman lived three miles from the center of the town, that he was a farmer and that he had left the local board of education because he did not have sufficient time to devote to it's work.
 Roland Curtis, William Stagg and Judge c. H. Peck spoke for MT. Leeds who was described as a wealthy man who lived in the center of the town and who was willing to take the ap- pointment. MT. Warehouse spoke in rebutta1 and MT. Peasley of the com rnittee became impatient because not all of the speakers kept closely to the rules of evidence and the hearing was closed.
