NEW YORK, June -3--Trading In
stocks last week was again highly pro-
fessionai. with Il decided reduction OF
the previous weeks activity. The ione
OF the market continued to express the
unwaverinS confidence Of leading flnan-
cial interests in the ultimate result OF
the war. In point OF fact, foreign de-
velopments exerted less Influence than
usual. interest Centering mainly in
home affairs. The course Of tax leg
tsia,ion at Washington; the labor si;
uation and the further regulation OF
commodities by the government were
more potent in their effect.
Contrary to expectation. the War
Boards maintenance OF the existing
sch edule for steel and iron was without
dctrimen to the stocks most concerned.
There was marked relaxation in
money conditions at this center, sub
stantial amounts of time funds for the
shorter periods being offered at the
lowest rates In several months. Cal!
loans also eased perceptibly on a pro-
nounced expansion OF offerings.
Unofficial statements dealing with
the next Liberty loan contributed to
the weakness of existing issues early
in the week, but prices strengthened
later on denial OF any advance in the
interest rate.
Measures recently adopted to stapi-
lie exchange on Italy proved effective.
aud similar action is expected I'm con-
ncction with remittances to neutral
centers. including Spain, where eco
nomic conditions have caused some
DEDICATION OF rates.

lions they are likely TO be underfed

of establishing the experiment sta tion is only an adjunct to the main proposition. The need of determining what this land will produce above and beyond the deciduous fruits is not a matter which the editor of the Sen tinel or any other man who has not tried the soil out is able to foretell. Because of the exemplary type of fruit grown there is not sufficient grounds to base an argument on, provided an other individual desired to plant cot ton or to raise any agricultural pro- duct there.
 I have been assured that the expert ment farm proposition is to be an tagonized by the eidtor on the ground that it is a hindrance to the develop ment of the mesa. To the man of in telligence it will appear that such an institution is greatly needed, and should be established at an early date.
 Already land has been set aside for this station, but it was on oversight in Washington that an appropriation has not been made to create the in stitution. The securing of the appro- priation in that matter, was brought to my attention by5Mr. Blair, of the U. s. Government Experiment station at Bard, California, and resulted in

KELLY, THE COP"

To the Editor, Jan. 90.-The value of an adage comes through the put ting of it's truth in operation, and watching for results The policy shall endeavor to follow is that con- tained in the saying "A stitch in time saves nine"
 This morning I received call from the editor of the Arizona Sentinel After he had asked me a few person al questions pertaining to old grieV- ances which had taken place presum- ably, between himself and the Com mercial' Club, of which I am totally ignorant, I became the object of ser ious criticism for the essence of a newspaper article which appeared in the Morning Sun under date of Jan, uary 30, which stated that efforts were being made to back an appropriation for an experiment station on the Yu. ma mesa.
 From what I could gather from the estimable editors words, judge that he is of the opinion that such a sta tion is desired to offset the contin uation of the struggle to get the Rec lamation Service to put water on the mesa. This is erroneous. The idea
