Course of Bond
Prices Rather Mixed

The course of bond prices during the
first half of the current year-the &C
companying table gives the average
prices of ten rails, FIVE utilities and ten
industrials from 1912 to July /, 1918
has been somewhat mixed. Public util-
lty lssues have continued to decline,
the average price Of the five utility
bonds carried in The Tribune's averake
having fallen from 5000 on January 2
to $3.50 on July l. The latter average
price compares with a price of 1O1 40
at the beginning of 1917 The decline
In the public utility bonds is, of course,
explained by the difficulties that public
utility companies the country over are
encountering in meeting the increased
costs of operations
The average price of the ten rail
road bonds stood at 1880 on January ..
On February the average was 81.51,
but since then there has been a mod
crate decline, the average price of rail
road bonds on July being 1911. The
average price of the ten industrial
bonds was 87.40 on January 2, and has
since risen to 9f.12. the price average
of July 1. The combined average price
OF the twenty five issues stood on july
J. just about where it was on January
z. In other words, the improvement in
industrial bond prices during the six
months period just about Offset the
losses taken by the railway and public
utility bonds.
In the following tables are given
the average price for twenty railroad
and thirty industrial stocks and the
combined average for the fifty stocks
on the first of each month since Jan
uary, 1872. No average is given for

The chart herewith presented shows
what has happened in the stock market
since 1912 down to July /. After reach
ing peak in 1912, the average price Of
the twenty railroad stocks and thirty
industrials gradually worked lower,
with only moderate recoverics, until a
few months before the war began.
After the panic of 1907 fully two years
elapsed before business and industry
got back into its stride. Beginning in
1909 general conditions began to i'm
prove, and with the revival of conf
dence stock and bond prices underwent
substantial improvement. The country
was blessed with abundant crops;
money was plentiful and cheap; indus
try was prosperous; so that the whole
country seemed to have shaken off the
depressing after effects Of the 1907 diff
ficulty.
The closing months of 1912 saw capt.
tai again becoming timid, and steady
decline In security market prices be-
gan. 1t lasted throughout 1913. Early
in 1914 there was temporary recov-
cry, but the outbreak of the war
quickly swept it all away.
The record of the American securi-
ties markets since the beginning of the
war in 1914, through the period Of our
neutrality and then throughout the
first year Of war. is well known to
those who follow the course of prices
In brief, stocks broke disastrously at
the beginning Of the war and tho Stock
Exchange had to be closed. 1t was re-
opened with restrictions on trading
late in that year and prices recovered
steadily until, in the spring of 1915
the first of our great war markets got
under motion.
From that time on, with only mod
crate reactions, the stock market trend
was definitely upward, the movement
finally eliminating at the close of 1916,
when peace rumors caused collapse

securities have almost entirely recov-
cred from the apprehension that took
possession Of them during the closing
months of last year, when the bond and
stock markets were thrown into utter
confusion, with complete decentralization
at times, as the country's industry rap
idly began to adjust itself to q war
basis.
The best opinion Is that the security
markets were pretty thoroughly liqui-
dated on the great decline Of 1917, and
inasmuch as there has since been no
wild orgy Of speculation are In an un-
usually strong position. American in
dustry apparently has surmounted
most Of the problems that have arisen
during the transition of the country
from peace to 100 per cent war
basis. Earnings of industrial CORPORA
lions are large, despite heavy taxes
| and steadily mounting costs Of opera
ton. Labor troubles are numerous, but
steps taken to provide sufficient SUD-
ply to essential industries are bringing
satisfactory results.
One Of the best features of the situ.
alton has been the development of a
new spirit of cooperation between big
business and the authorities at Wash
ington. The railroads have been taken
over for the period Of the war. with
liberal guarantees as to earnings. The
Federal authorities are doing all in
their power to see that essential IN
dustry is supplied with an abundance
Of working capital.
War Preparation
Promotes Confidence
Americas growing participation in
the war has been a constructive factor
in its influence ON the securities that
has not been overlooked. In fact. in
recent weeks 1t has been asserted bv
many financial observers that the un
derlying strength Of both stocks and
bonds has been based on the feeling of
optimism generated by the gratifying
success that has attended the first wear
of our military effort The results are
just becoming apparent IN the news
dispatches, which show that more than
a million American soldiers are now in
Europe, while the submarine menace
is fast being overcome by the building
OF new ships at rate much in excess
of the sinkings.

in the market for the so-caIled "war
stocks"
The year 1917 was the period of
| liquidation. The country, having en-
tered the war, was rapidly going from
peace to war basis, and the effects
were mirrored in the price movements
Of securities, practically all stocks and
bonds falling to the lowest prices in
years. Railroad stocks suffered the
greater decline; industrials, while fall
ing sharply, failing to go back to the
ante-bellum levels.
Upward Movement
Lacking in Vigor
The first six months Of the current
year. as indicated by the stock market
chart, shows that the trend of stock
prices has been mainly upward with
out any vigorous movement in that
direction. In the spring, after the
Germans won some successes and con-
siderable territory in their grand Of
fensive on the West front, stocks eased
off somewhat, but still held above the
low level established at the beginning
of the year. On January the aver
age price Of the twenty railroad Is
sues stood at 67.85. On July 1 che
average price Of the same issues was
$780, an advance OF nearly 3 points,
The average price Of the thirty indus
trials at the start of the year was
1928. By March there had been
an advance to SOTO. During the month
Of March. however, the slump in the
market on the news of the German Of
fensive forced the industrial average
to 77.6o by April 1. By May ! there
had been a recovery to 1913. During
the month of May the industrial aver
age remained unchanged, but in June
another upward movement carried it
to 82.40, the highest level since Octo
Der of last year. At 82.40 the indus
trial average compares with a high Of
104.13 for the war period and a low
of 4740 on August l, 1914.

City and County Officials
to Confer as to Hospital
For Contagious Diseases

City and county officials will con-
fer next Wednesday morning on pro-
posed plans for a county contagious
disease hospital. While no definite
plans have been decided upon. it was
said that the meeting would be held
largely for the purpose of deter
mining to what extent any additions
or new structures would be consid
cred as absolutely necessary at the
present time.
One of the officials said he favor
ed making improvements to the
present municipal smallpox hospital
and the use of that structure for pa
tients suffering only from that di-
sease. For all other cases it is like
ly a ne wbuilding would be erected
probably on the site on which the
present one is standing, as it is large
enough for additional structures,
some of the officials said.
At present there are no patients
in the smallpox hospital from the
city, but~in addition TO few from
Steelton and outlying districts pa
tients are now being taken there
from Middletown where there are
ten cases reported and fifty-one un-
der quarantine.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach,
liver, and bowel poisons
before broadcast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no consti-
patton, bilious attacks, sick head
ache, colds, rheumatism or gassy,
acid stomach, you must bathe on the
inside like you battle outside. This
is vastly more important, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, while the bowel
pores do, says a well-known physi-
clan.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary tract, before putting
more food into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. 1t
Is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
TEN of these vile poisons and toxins;
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves
and muscles became saturated with
an accumulation of body poisons, be-
gin this treatment and above all.
keep it up, AS soap and hot water
act on the skin, cleansing, ,sweetening
and purifying,so limestone phosphate
and hot water before breakfast, act
on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
