 STOCK MARKET

New York; July 26-War stocks and specialties. including sugars, led the list to higher levels at today's 8 firm opening. Sentiment among traders was more cheerful in expec- tation of an early solution of impor- tant problems now pending in Wash ington. Equipments advanced from large fractions to 1 IA points for Baldwin Locomotive and Beet Sugar gained two points. United States Steel rose almost point with Beth lehem and Crucible Steels. Anacon- da Copper recorded an equal gain. Declines of fractions to a point were confined to shippings. the motors, Lackawanna Steel, Sinclair Oil and St. Paul.
 Selling of shipping and motors at declines of one to two points provok- ed more moderate recessions in some of the standard stocks before Il o'clock, but the advance was resumed later on a broader inquiry for steels, tobaccos and minor specialties. Low prices industrials also denoted the ac- tivity of pools St. Paul, on which dividend action is to be taken later in the day, hardened slightly but rail. roads in general were neglected. The bond market was irregular, though mostly higher. Liberty bonds moved in the narrow range of ss.45 to as.4T.

PUBLIC OPINION
To the Editor of The Farmer. Dear. Sir.

To the Editor of The Farmer. Dear Sir:
 A COW is a most excellent animal, but COW Is not of much use in a boiler shop. A piece of cheese is sometimes very tasty with rye bread and beer but piece of cheese at the head of the police board is something that could well be dispensed with, It doesn't improve the aroma of the board.
 The people of Bridgeport are a long suffering people. They have had Warrenite spread on their streets ad nauseam; they have had $1,000 com fort station erected in their parks while in the tenement districts of the east side families of from five to ffE teen are crowded into one or two vermin-ridden rooms; they have had the highest tax rate in the history of the city, imposed upon them by the present administration in conjunction with assessment valuations that would make the Himalaya mountains look like some of the ruts in our city streets. They have had Packard cars and Dodge cars thrust upon them by the Board of Contract and Supply, whose personnel includes the agent for the Dodge and Packard; they have stood for all this and more, But in asking these patient people to en- dorse. by acquiesence. the toad whose recent raids on the public parks brought him again into the limelight, some one Is taking an awful chance Bridgeport will never be source of pride to it's citizens until this ulcer is eliminated.
 Yours sincerely,
 JOE DOKES,
