An Expensive TIP,

The sudden demonstration IN the stock
market yesterday recalled the days when
almost every tip was a winner for all
around the Street yesterday morning
there was strong feeling that the mar
Net would boil over at any minute and
consequently every one had his pet spe-
cialty. In the last big bull market n
trader was told by a friend to buy some
Cuba Company stock and arriving at
his brokers' Office put in an order. TO
pick up couple hundred shares. The
order clerk had never heard of the stock
out after some inquiry discovered that
IL was traded over the counter. In the
meantime the trader had left the office
ana on his return was asked IL he was
prepared TO safely margin his purcha Sc
or Cuba Company. Trading in hundred
snare lots was usually small for this
man and he OF course replied that he
was Well" said the order clerk. "I'll
see what / can do for you, but the stock

possible to buy 1t the total purchasing
price would have been $4,000 600.

the general upturn commenced. and by
the time the other groups began to show
signs Of moving forward they attained
new high levels for the year. Aside

a reaction. and fearing they would get

Virginia Browns Active,

A further sharp advance in Virginia
Brown Brothers certificates was accom-
panied by report that the historical
dispute between the two Virginias would
be- settled within n few weeks and a
number Of prominent bond houses and
banks were said to be buyers The bonds,
which are popularity known az Brown

contesting the issue years ago, sold as

I'VE find many bankers Of the first
grade talking OF easier money" asserted
a partner OF prominent Stock Exchange
firm yesterday Banks have already
bought Treasury certificates of indebted
ness sufficient to cover Is per cent. of
the coming payments for the Liberty
Loan. and II would not be surprising to
find larger part of the new loan than
OF any others covered in full on the first
day Of payment To the extent that the
recent bank borrowing by discount at the
Federal Reserve has been done on the
basis Of these certificates THIS operation
will be a double relief for the situation,
for It will automatically put the banks
in position to employ suitable securities
to cover public deposits of the loan pro-
ceeds and free them of obligation to
maintain reserves against deposits Of
customers accumulated for the purpose
Of making payment for purchases OF the
new bonds. Dealers In securities under
these conditions may be able TO negotiate
before very long some fixed term money"

MAYOR WOULD STOP
Soldiers SALUTES
Tells Police Board WhiStling
May Let Spies Know of
SammieS' Whereabouts
MEN THEMSELVES
APPRECIATE HONOR

Mayor Lawson appeared before the
Police Commissioners yesterday after
noon and requested that body TO have
stopped the practice OF railroad en-
gines and industrial plants saluiing
troop trains that pass through this
city. 10 Is contcnded that the blowing
OF whistles and the ringing OF the fire
alarm bells as troops are passing
through the city. serves only TO notify
enemies that such trains are approach
ing, and does no good The blowing OF
whistles as salutes 90 the passing sol
dicrs has caused hundreds OF citizens
TO gather along the railroad lines here
and shout words Of cheer 90 the sol
diers. The soldiers on some trains that
have stopped for "a few minutes say
the welcome accorded them In this city
has far surpassed any demonstration In
other cities.
10 was also stated that another reason
urged FOR stopping the saluting was
that the continual blasts on the
whistles caused many women TO be
come nervous and TO give way TO
tears.
This morning while the whistles were
sslutng a troop train, an aged Italian
woman who was standing 9t Fourth
and Shipley streets watching The train
pass over the elevated at The foot of
Shiplcy street pulled a red bandana
handkerchief from her pocket and
wavetl 80 in the direction cf ihc train.
As the last car crossed tho street, the
aged woman wiped tears from her eyes
with the handkerchief. and continued
on her way. Those who witnessed this
action on The part OF the woman were
greatly impressed by it
While the Police Department has is
sued orders for the whistles TO stop
tooting. they were footed as usual this
morning.
