The stock market has shown fair activity and responded readily to the better conditions referred to above. There is good investment demand for the same reasons; stimulated also by the unusual July disbursement, which amounted to about $30OOOO,O0O, or $l3,OOO, 900 more than a year ago. The new security issue for the prin- c1pal states during June were esti- mated at $15O,000,OO0, or S83,QOO,- 900 in excess of a year ago. The total new issues for six months of the cal endar year are placed at nearly $1,- 900, O,OOO,OOO, or almost 00,000,00O more than last year. Of the total is sues for the last six months, only about $430,0OO,O 900 were for railroads, 58,OOO,O for public utilities and the remainder for industrial and mis- cellaneOus purposes. There has been great expension in new steel enter prises; also in the development of pe- troleum and natural gas A further indication of industrial development was the volume of charters granted in the principal states during June, those with a capital of $100,000 or over aggregating $327, 7,000,O00, or $97,OO0,000 more than a year ago. Over $3O,OOO,OO0 of this amount rep resented new petroleum concerns. The issue of new railroad securities has undoubtedly been retrained by the buying back among investors of 8 large amount of securities returned from abroad on account of the Brit ish war finance. Rumors of fur ther foreign loans in this market con- tinue, but have not yet materialized Negotiations for $100,0 ,0OO000 French loan are reported, also con- siderable applications from Russia and China. Nothing further has been heard of new British financing here. Should these loans appear, they will, of course, have an important bearing on the investment situation. Speculation has been more active during the past two weeks and prices showed rising tendency. Prospects favor a more confident market un- less unfavOrable developments start fresh liquidation. Peace prospects, of course will affect munitions shares unfavorably and a gradual return to a peace basis may be reasonably an- ticipated sooner or later.

If the efforts of the public health ser vice are successful in having the en- bargo raised, so far as the monkeys are concerned, although the animals will not arrive for some weeks, Dr. Emerson believes that the scientists of the federal government, of the Rock efeller institute ard of other research bodies will be able to make great headway in solving the problem of who and what are the most dangerous "carriers" of infantile paralysis.

SOLDIERS TAKE
FIFTH STRAIGHT

Seventh infantry won its fifth
straight game in the morning and has
won over every other team in the
league in the past five weeks. The
Krackai lacks proved easy picking for
the soldiers as Curly Smiths men
seemed TO lack pep" and were quib-
bling among themselves.
The soldiers gave Duncan rest and
sent Myers to the mound. He did good
work and the hardware men got away
with only two hits, both coming in the
second after two were down. The only
score off Myers was due to three err
rors in the fifth inning
KreSSeII Looks Good.
Tommy Thompson started for the
hardware men but his sOuthpaw slants
were easy of solution. Tommy was
taken out after three innings and
K-essen, a newcomer from the ma
tional guard, took his place and did
good work He ended the scoring,
though the soldiers touched him up
rather lively in the final inning. 4
couple of double plays featured the
fielding while Kler again had a chance
to pull down a couple OF fine catches
