may well work higher. This stock took
the recent selling well and is likely

cs continue upward. Traders who turn

cline were said to be we'll out of their

to look for higher prices. One OF the

GERMANS ADMIRE
SPIRIT OF QUAKERS
Exchanged Prisoner Tells How
Good They Are to Those Held
in British Camp

BERLIN, April 29.--In an article In the
Berliner Tageblatt n German who was an
interned civil prisoner in a British con-
centration camp, but was exchanged and
returned to Germany, describes the relief
work given by the British Society OF
Friends to imprisoned Germans in Great
Britain.
THE Quakers first appeared at the con-
centration camps in October, 1914" says
the Overseas News Agency summary of
the article. "They visited individually all
the prisoners and made records of the
destitute families left by them, and all
these families received help from the
Friends, the society also providing en-
ployment to such prisoners as were re-
leased.
"The Quakers furnished books and re-
views to the camps, and held lectures.
which, however, were soon prohibited by
the British authorities They also pro-
Vided transportation for those allowed
to return home. and distributed food
and clothing among destitute Germans
who had been left at liberty but being
without employment were unable to pro-
vide for themselves. Records were kept
of all these families, and the children in
them received milk and healthful food,
A woman physician was charged with
the care of children and of women who
were ILL., The Quakers also invited des-
titue persons of alien birth into their
homes and treated them there with
cordiality and with the utmost tact.

highest admiration for the spirit of Chris
tian love shown by members of the So
clety of Friends"

SLIGHT LET-UP IN BOND BUSINESS:
PRICES NOT MATERIALLY CHANGED
Securities Not Pressing for Sale From Any Quarter.
Estimates of Europe's Inquiries for Steel Range
From 2500OO Tons Upward

There was a slight let-up in the demand
for bonds during the last week, although
prices were not materially changed, only
fractional recessions having been indl-
Gated throughout the list. Bond houses
reported steady days business, but there
was no noticeaby urgent request for large
amounts of either bonds or short-term
notes
AZ the close OF the week quotations
were somewhat easier for certain issues
although II was stated that securities
were not pressing for sale from any quar-
ter.
Estimates in steel circles of the tonnage
inquired for by Europe ranges from $780,,
600 tons upward, with the average about
100000 tons. II Is stated by some of the
best authorities that the steel is wanted
for munitions and the only drawback is
the fact that mills In this country are
booked so far in advance that It will be
some time before deliveries can be made.
In addition, the domestic business is
growing larger each week and will absorb
more of the capacity of the makers than
heretofore. which will prevent the booking
of all the business offered unless the ship.
ments are spread over a long period, ex.
tending far into the new year.
Opinions in railroad as we'll as steeh
circles are that the transportation com1
panies in this country may reasonably be
expected to be kept busy during the com.
ing months with freight traffic, and this
will have its effect ON cars and locomo.

PORT WORKS START MONDAY
City Will Dig Turning Basin in Front

Work will be started Monday morn
ing on the digging of a turning basin in
front of the Port Richmond export ele-
vators of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company. This work will ex-
tend from Dyott street to just below Cam
bria street.
Shipping interests have felt the need
of a deeper channel in this vicinity for
a long time, but as there was no Fed
eral appropriation 20 do this work, which
is under the Jurisdiction of the Federal
Government. nothing was done. During
the last Administration at a conference
between city and Federal officials 1t was
arranged for the city 10 dig this basin.
Assistant Director Hasskarl, of the De-
partment of Wharvess Docks and Ferries,
said yesterday that the work would prob
ably be completed by the middle OF July.
The contract has been let TO the Bowers
Southern Dredging Company at 21.4o
cents a cubic yard. The channel in this
part of the river win be dug s2 feet deep
and a width of 400 feet At present only
$4,000 is available for the work
