DEMAND FOR BONDS
IN CURB MARKET
Several Issues Attain New
High RecOrds-StOcks
Extremely Quiet.

The principal feature OF the trading
IN the Curb market yesterday was the
continued strength and activity in bonds.
Almost all Of the issues were In good de-
nand and several new high records were
established. The most active were the
Bethlehem Steel Is. some of which
changed hands near their top prices.
Union Pacific IS were In constant de-
mand and recorded a new high record
In the final hour of trading. Russian
government securities showed substan-
tial gains, selling close to the high prices
OF the year. Cudahy Packing Is were
dealt In for the first time, selling on a
when issued basis.
Stocks; with the exception OF the lower
priced mining shares. were extremely
quiet and reacted after making small
advances In the first hour The oil de-
rartment was especially dull. only few
OF the issues showing real activity.
Houston on on a few transs ctions gained
point or more. stanton OIL was in
good demand. buying coming from
Louisville apparently on the announce
ment that the two wells recently brought
In on the property flowed $1,000 barrels
in the first six days. this production be-
ing among the highest in the oil fields of
Kentucky
The motors were under pressure after
making small Improvements at the OPEN
ing. United sold more than point
lower and Chevrolet declined three. The
specialties were quite without impo. tant
changes.
The lower priced mining stocks fea-
tured the list In the last hour Of trading.
many OF them selling substantially
higher. Among these the Goldheld is
sues were the strongest. Boston and
Montana was firm on the report that the
railroad for carrying ores will probably
be completed not later than the middle
of September when shipments will be
started at the rate OF 500 tons a day.

COFFEE MARKET.

Yesterdays market for coffee futures
opened irregular, 3 points lower to
point higher, with most OF the early in
terest centred In the May position. which
was bought by a Cotton Exchange firm
believed to have European connections.
The main factor was a cable from
Brazil saying Exchange paralyzed ::
Government control decreed." Condi-
tions in Brazil regarding exchange on
London have been in deplorable state
owing to lack OF exports and the issuing
Of paper currency. About May 16 last
IL was the intention OF the Brazilian
Government to try and fix the rate at
13d But It has apparently been impos-
sible to do this. as exchange has de-
clined from 10 ole TO IL l5-l6d,, and
1t Is now evident that the Government
Is trying to check the decline. 1t is be-
lieved in some quarters that any meas
ure taken that artificially fixes exchange
Ia sign OF weakness and d!fficult to
sustain. Others took an opposite view,
and while the market continued quiet
throughout the day there was increased
buying in the afternoon which in the
absence OF selling pressure caused an
upward reaction. final prices being 10
to IL points net higher.
The Brazil markets continued in an
unsettled condition. The morning cable
reported Rio spots 10 reis higher. San
tos unchanged. Futures in Santos were
100 TO 200 refs OF from Fridays close.
A special cable from Santos gave 10
A. NJ. futures quotations at an advance
OF 80 to $50 reis. compared with the
earlier cable.
In the cost and freight market bust
ness was quiet; one low bid for Santos
a. came back offered at 1lAc. About
5000 bags OF highly described Santos So
sold at lie. via motorboat, London
credits, and resold at Ills to 11.20c.
C. T. The local spot demand Is poor at
unchanged prices.

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Stocks closed weak in the market yes
terday on the Consolidated Exchange.
Final quotations. which showed losses in
the standard stocks of more than a
point. were about the lowest levels for
the session. Trading, wholly profess
sioral In character. was limited. except
Ing during the first hour and in the ANAL
moments Of the session, when the selling
movement not only checked a substantial
rally. but sent values down for addi-
tional losses. With the exception OF the
opening. when the general list scored
fractional advances. there was little de-
mand for stocks, and the general tone Of
the market was reactionary throughout
the session. The recovery in the early
afternoon was unstable, as was evident
from the ready response when the SELL
ing was renewed toward the close. Both
rails and industrials were affected by
the decline. About the only stocks to
show firmness were American Sumatra
and Tobacco Products, which closed with
fractional advances. though substan-
TALLY lower than previous quotations.
Trading In Liberty Loan bonds was in
fair volume.

HUNTERS MUST OBSERVE
BOTH FEDERAL And STATE GAME LAWS
To Avoid Violations, Shooting Must Be
Confined To The Time During Which
Il Is Not Prohibited By Either Set
OF Regulations.

In making their plans to shoot
migratory waterfowl, hunters will do
well to note the dates Of open seasons
under both Federal and State Laws.
This caution by the United States
Department of Agriculture results
from evidence of confusion in the
minds Of some sportsmen in regard
to the opening of the season when
the dates conflict under State and
Federal laws.
The Federal law and regulations
limit the seasons before and after
which no one may shoot these birds.
II a State law opens the season later
or closes il earlier than the dates
prescribed by the Federal regulations,
the season in that State is just so
much further shortened. Special at
tention is called to the fact that the
Federal regulations do not authorize
any one to hunt or kill migratory
birds contrary to the State law
In certain States, as for example,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Missouri, and South Dakota,
the season for shooting migratory
waterfowl under the State law would
open prior to the date of opening
under the Federal regulations were
it not for the fact that the Federal
regulations supercede Statq laws in
such case of conflict and prescribe
for these States September l6 as the
beginning Of the open season.
