CT 8 IA from it's low quotation of the
previous day. On the surface the
sensational advance in the stock,
which was made mainly on small in
dividual transactions, suggesting a
drive against the short interest.
Rumor, however attributed the high

manifested a strong undertone, being
unaffected by the latest news from
Europe Motor shares and some of
the department store specialties
figured to an unusual degree in the
days gains. Bonds were steady, ex-
oept New York Central skies. which

miSSaI Of French Suit.

largely concentrated upon the new

movement has not seriously aggra-
waited the export situation, but the
outlook is full Of rather serious posi-
bilities. Yet, SO long as a patient
and considerate spirit is maintained
between our government and the
allies, the danger of trouble will be
reduced to a minimum. It is fortun-
ate that congress is NOT IN session.

Stock Market. -
The New York stock market con-
tinues to show moderate fluctuations.
Any special strength appears to be
promptly checked by foreign selling.
On the other hand, there is no general
weakness and the better grade stocks
are readily absorbed. Very consider
able amounts of American stocks and
bonds have been sold here on foreign
account during the past FEW weeks,
without causing any appreclable
weakness. There has been more or
less selling on short account. pre-
sumably to anticipate further foreign
liquidation. Purchases are being
nade with much discrimination, in
vestors showing a decided preference
for short term obligations, good bonds
and high-grade railroad shares.
There have been further offerings of
government municipal and public
service issues which have been we'll
taken, considering adverse influences.
Money is easy and foreign exchange
continues weak owing to the large
of commercial bills, based on
shipments of cotton, foodstuffs and
war materials. There has also been
heavy selling of exchange on behalf
Of one or two leading European gov
ernments. presumably in connection
with military operations On the
stock exchange the tendency il process
has been downward. The war is now
upon new stage; carnage |

LOCAL GAS THIEVES
CONTINUED From First Page.)

,(Continued From First Page.)
Richardson explained the modus
operendi of the gas thieves. Coming
in from the street is pipe which
carries the gas. Inside the house
is pipe connected with the house
piping. These two pipes are not
connected, but one leads into the meter
and the other leads out. Thus, when
the meter is disconnected there is no
way for the gas to get from one pipe
to the other. The method employed
in stealing the gas was to turn on
the cock in the pipe leading from
the street and attach a short length
of rubber hose from that pipe to. the
pipe leading into the house and the
flow of gas was complete. When de-
lection was feared it was a very SIM
pie matter to disconnect the rubber
pipe and turn off the cock.
The more Mrs. Peterson laughed
and attempted to explain matters the
worse she made it for her husband
and Judge Kirkham found him guilty
as charged and imposed a fine Of SIS
and costs.

AS he was being taken to the police
