STOP EATING HORSEFLESH.
Soldiers Need Horses, and, You
Know, "War First"

Beetle browed food experts who as
sure you that horse meat is just as
juicy. tender and palatable as porter
house or sirloin, have had a crimp put
into their propaganda by the war
Assuming that any one has been eat
ing horse steak. which has not been
proved, he will have to cease. There
are not enough horses for war pur-
poses, let alone for food.
Perhaps that is why Mat s. Cohen.
president OF tho Kentucky State Fair
Association, one of the most noted
light horse authorities In the world,
went up to the food conservation office
to discuss horse shortage.
To-day only four states In the Union
produce as many cattle pro rata as they
did In 1860" he said. mot only have
our herds of beeves been decimated I'M
til we feel n strinRency. but we are in
the midst of the greatest horse famine
the country has ever known.
''The allies have bought and shipped
abroad $4,000 head of horses from the
United States. ! do not believe there
are now available In our great horse
raising state of Kentucky more than
$50 horses for artillery use, or more
than 500 cavaly horses"

SHARP ADVANCES MADE
IN RAILROAD STOCKS

NEW YORK. July There was COM
paratively little doing in the two hours
of trading today, but the general un-
dertone of the market was satisfactory
to friends of higher prices, save with
the exception of Steel common, which
advanced but later reacted. and closed
exactly where it did yesterday.
Corporation is the brake on speculation
in the shares. as it is on many other
securities, together with price fixing.
Steel common was high at 127k, but
this - advance as before stated was
lost entirely.
Where there was a large short in
terest frmness prevailed. This was
especially noticeable in the motors.
General Motors made 2 points gain and
held a point to the close. Studebaker
made a point advance and held the
greater part of the improvement.
Distillers' Securities were heavy, not
an unnatural condition, In view of leg
islation under way. Mexican Petrol
cum was very firm, with other oil
shares.
Rails Show Best Strength.
The rails showed the best strength of
the day, many investors taking these
securities and spectators taking flyers
in rails, as being reasonably safe at
present levels. with the roads crowded
with business.
Union Pacific gained rs /; Baltimore
Central. Ia ST. Paul. a point, and
Reading leading the group with a
gain of points.
Bonds were irregular. with the liberty
loan issue holding its own at small
fractions above par.

The Decline in Bond Values.

The combined index of forty bonds. as
compiled by Dow, Jones & Co. of New
York, stood at 1926 for June.
With the single exception of January.
each month since the advent of 1871 mas
SHOWN depreciation in bond values,
and the June level was the lowest since
l9f5-in the month Of March-and but
40 above the low point of December,
1S14-14.S0.
Throughout the month of June the
greatest weakness was in the highest
grade of railroad issues. due unques-
tionably to unfauorable public senti-
ment toward railroad securities as in
veStments.
Investors have been reducing their
bond holdings as a means of evading
some of the heavy taxation incident to
the war measures: income taxes, the
fear of excess profits tax and. worst OF
ALL or retroactive features of taxation.
Naturally. the chief cause for the low
levels Of June is to be found in the
enormous liberty loan bond issue and
the dominant fact that the issue was
free of all income taxes, and subject
only to inheritance taxes.
That these bonds have maintained a
par value when the large number of
investors whose purchases at the best
will be but for short period, and who
will market their holdings on the first
pinch of necessity is considered may
be attributed to the disappointment of
many large subscribers who accepted
many orders, but grouped or rather
Jumped them in forwarding, and were
heavily scaled in the allotment and
are. therefore, in the market as pur-
chasers, and the impression that liberty
bonds are likely to remain firm at these
figures to higher levels seems well
founded.
