TENOR FOR
 N. B. C. s. CONCERT
John Barnes Wells to Appear on
 Program at Lyceum on April

New Britain music lovers will be delighted to learn that the New Britain choral society has secured the services of John Barnes Wells, tenor, of New York City, for the concert to be given in the RussWin Lyceun1 Wednesday evening, April 19. To the lover of poetic interpretation in song, a delightful musical treat is in store
 MT. Wells singing is such a happy com bination of agreeable voice, mu- sical intelligence and self contained emotionalism that whatever he does has artistic interest.
 Sigmund Spaeth, musical critic of the N Y. Mail says of him: He has a natural voice of such appealing quality that the average audience would probably be glad to hear him sing anything at any time, i'll any fashion,"
 The executive committee is es- pecially pleased to announce the spe- ciaI engagement of the famous Bos- ton Festival orchestra for the in- strumental work in connection with the chorus, and which will also ren- der several selections in the miscell- eanous part of the program.
 The advance sale of the seats has been very encouraging and the seat ing capacity of the Russwin Lyceum has been practically sold out, with the exception of the gallery, which the committee will be obliged to use, owing to the insistant demand for a lower priced seat.
 Director Laubin is very enthusias- tic about the ability of the chorus and claims it is the finest collection of voices he ever had in training.

of new capital devoted to war pur- poses reported since January 1 was $1S8, 100000 and since the war be- gan, twenty months ago, the total re- ported is $307, 7,000,000; indicating that while the war has been a powerful stimuant it probably represents much less than a quarter of our present activity This is demonstrated by enormous increase in steel orders, ,' greater proportion of which is on de- mestic account and is made up very largely of railroad buying. Amer:- can railroads are placing liberal or ders for all kinds of equipment Since the first of January they have placed orders for ,415, 900 tons of steel rails, compared with 51O,00O tons at the same time last year aLd 593, ,O0O tons in 1914 In many cases orders have been given extending into 1917, and the rush is so great that still further orders would have been placed had it not been for the inability of mills to execute them and advancing prices.
 Stock exchange activity was upon diminished scale and confined chiefly to a few specialties. In spite of de- cidedly improved railroad conditions, there has been so marked recovery in these issues, largely because of the continued influx of foreign hold ings liquidated on account of the war A great many gilt-edged bonds have been returned, but these have been even more readily absorbed than the shares of representative railroads. This probably explains the cOmpara- tive absence of new" railroad issues, investors for the time being preferrlng to pick up seasoned securities at faV- orable prices to taking new issues There are large sums of capital await ing investmer' current uncertain ties impede good buying at this time For government and municipal ISSUES there has been an excellent marke- lately
