TO FOREIGN NATIONS
In Great Year Of Easy Money,
Country Buys Back Millions
in Securities.
HAVEN FOR BORROWER

The developments in the bond market
were as remarkable and as striking az
were those which occurred in tho stock
market and in the other financial fields
this most unusual ear. or do
nestle financing. State and municipal.
railroad and industrial. there was COM
paratively little. On the other hand this
country engaged in the purchase and
sale Of foreign notes and bonds on a
scale never before undertaken or
dreamed of in the financial annals OF
the country. Our purchases Of the bonds
and securities OF foreign nations was
somewhat in excess of 81 900, 600, 900. In
the meantime We have In four months
bought back from Europe, which was a
large holder OF our bonds. In excess OF
S246.227,110. or at the rate OF more than
s73s.sS1.330 per mum
In spite OF all of this foreign financing
and purchasing OF foreign held Amer
lean securities the demand for high
grade bonds in this country continues
practically undtndh!shed. and what is
strangest of all in view of this demand
for securities money rates are easier
than they have been In many years.
Much of this In due. of course. 10 the
tremendous prosperity which has come
to the country through the high prices
which our great staples are bringing
abroad and the hundreds OF millions OF
gold which We have imported from Eu
rope owing to the unusual situation ex-
isting In the foreign exchange MARKETS.
The fact that money has been so easy.
with littls demand for capital for new
projects in this country. is ono OF the
reasons why the prices of bonds are to-
day 30 much higher than they have beer
for years, and also why there has been
such a keen demand for bonds OF all
sorts. The banks OF the country. finding
comparatively little demand for the mil
lions which they have stored away in
their vaults. have been eager buyers Of
bonds in order TO keep their funds at
work.
Nations DO Their Borrowing Here.
This, coupled with the fact that there
has come to the country a realization

There were many we'll authenticated
cases where insiders who could not I'M
derstand the prices that were being
made for their stocks threw them on
the market. and then when they wanted
them bac., had to bid with the public.
There we're other cases where officers of
companies actually went short OF the
stocks Of their companies because they
believed the advance could not hold and
lost heavily when they were forced to
cover.

the financial district as a whole under
the influence OF the great rise In Beth
lehem the spirit OF investigation was
stimulated. The discovery and launch
tns Of new war brides became a BUSH
ness and a highly profitable one at that.
The whole list of stocks on the ~exchan8e
was ransacked from top to bottom In a
search for stocks of companies with pos
abilities. At first speculation was dis
eliminating and only stocks OF companies
which really had or were negotiating for
business were taken up. But as the
public appetite grew the quality of the
stock offered changed. Any company that
could be put In reaching distance OF a
war order by any stretch OF the imag'-
nation WAS seized upon. There was n

After Commitment Girl
Attempts to Kill Self

Eighteen-year-old Rita Madrid, a
beautiful Spanish girl, yesterday aft
elnoon attempted suicide with chloro-
form at the city Jail following her
commitment to Whittier for wayward-
ress by Judge Franklin J. Cole.
After her commitment, when taken
tC the city jail to await the trip to
Whittier she asked permission to get
her belongings at her room in local
rooming house. The matron at the
Jail accompanied her, being separated
from her for only minute at the
rooming house, but at this time it is
supposed the girl obtained the prison,
which she hid in her clothing until
taken back to the jail.
After taking the poison she became
hysterical and attracted the attention

moned County Physician T. o. Luckett,
who revived her.

patches from Queretaro telling of an
announcement by the de facto gov

cLssion here.
In some quarters there was a dis
position to credit the report, but they
were without official confirmation and
both army and state department Off
cials suggested that they probably had

Officials express great satisfaction
over the result accomplished by the
use of Mexican railways in forward

The Madrid girl has led checkered
career. When Ia years of age she
ian away from her home in Arizona
with a Mexican to escape the atten-
tions of her stepfather. The eloping
couple made their home in Los An

charges against the couple and they
were arrested. To escape white slave
charges the Mexican married her, but
soon afterward deserted her at Braw-
Icy.
For a time Probation Officer Swan
son found work for her, but she con-
tinued to get into one scrape after an

In Superior Court yesterday the girl
made serious charges against we'll
