AMERICAN VICTORY SENDS PRICES UP ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE

New York, July 1S.-The news that American troops had victoriously ad- vanced in the western front prompted an almost unparalleled outburst of en- thusiasm on the floor of the stock ex- change today. Brokers yelled and cheered and bought stocks. Prices scared.
 The market which took sharp upward trend almost at the opening remained active, with still rising prices, until the closing hour, when as the success of the allied drive became more fully known the buying became still vigorous.
 The spirit of optimism spread through out the financial district, bankers and brokers remaining at their offices long after the close of the market in their desire to receive later war bulletins
 A highly significant feature of tha bond market was the activity ani strength of foreign war flotations, espe cially Paris 6s, which rose three points. Issues of this class have always been extremely sensitive to changes in the foreign military situation.

To Celebrate Victory

To the Editor of The Age-Hera1d:
 The glorious and cheering news from the European battle front telling of the valor and success of our boys over there, seems to me should be a fitting occasion for our people to come to- gether for rejoicing and to express our gratitude, admiration and pleasure for their achievements.
 To that end permit me to suggest that as soon as the joyful news is fully confirmed that a patriotic meeting be held at Capitol park that we, as a com munity, may give expression to our feelings and rejoice together and give thanks to God for what has been ac- complished. And further let me sug- gest that if any man shall attempt to pervert that patriotic meeting to the promotion of their own political in terest of the political interest of any political candidate, or shall utter one word against any public official, that there should be provided strong, muscular committee to take the off, fender by the nape of his neck and the seat of his trousers and pitch him off the rostrum.
