STOCK MARKET.

Much water has run past the mill 1 in the last two weeks. Develop l ments have followed thick and fast, l with reconstruction quickening it's ! pace. Foreign news has been dis 1 quieting and events at home have not | been wholly enCOuraging although a favorable average has been struck. BoIshevism has fared up in Hun gary, Germany is less docile than she was. and the fall in foreign ex- change threatens trade with Great Britain. France and Italy. In this country steel prices have been re- vised with uncertain effect on de- mand. The railroads have been as sured of financing for such needs as
 may arise prior to Congressional ap- propriations. The copper trade has definitely turned the corner, thanks to the willingness of producers to grappIe boldly with their problem. Demand has sprung up in volume, and the output is surprisingly large considering the reduction in working forces.
 There is some apprehension of early offerings of European holdings of stocks. England may find it ad- vantageous to dispose of mobilized accumulations at lower rates of eX- change. Holland and Switzerland
 may dump securities obtained from Germany after the peace treaty is signed. A country which can take five billions of bonds in three weeks will hardly be terrified by several hundred millions of choice rails and l industria1s distributed over reason ] able period.
 The new loan will not necessarily 1 prove a disturbing factor. Banks
 may have to take larger proportion 1 of the issue than they did of the four
 Liberty Loans, and it may be argued | that under such circumstances they
 may not be able to provide Hberally l for the needs of the security mar l kets Such a view, in our opinion
 does not take full cogntZance of the | possibility of imitation, which may | bring a further plethora OF funds. So-calIed technical conditions wil | furnish a strong influence for an ad- | vance The very features which re- | strain over confidence. which proven | unwieldly accunulations, will prove | most potent in lifting prices. In | come tax alterations should eper
 ate to keep large holders from liqui-
 dating, and moderate buying there
 fore is likely to produce magnifiet
 results We believe the ultima t trend is upward.-W. J. Wollman a | Go.

TALE OF PERIL
 FROM STAMFORD
Trials and Tribulations of Nellie, the Beautiful
 Collie Dog.
Special to The Tin7esl

Stratford, April 1.-Two days and two nights shut up in the cellar of an empty house and only released and saved from 9 slow death from starvation because a boy had forgot ten something and went to the house after it was the experience gone through with by Nellie, the beautiful collie dog owned by Hiram Munson of Main street. This dog which is known to almost everybody in the north end of the town as she used to follow Munson about when he was the letter carrier in that section of the town followed William Peterson, the carrier who now delivers the mail on Friday last week. Peterson deliv- cred the mail to the houses on Hurd avenue and Nellie visited most of the yards as is iler habit when acting as assistant to the mail carrier and see ing the open cellar door of the house from which the Tooker family had just I0oYed she investigated the coal bin. Possibly she thought that a cat was in the cellar entered the mind of Nellie or it might have been general inQuisitiveness.
 As Nellie vanished into the cellar unseen by any of the family the doors were all closed and locked as the last bit of goods had been placed on the truck previous to the dog entering the house. The absence of Nellie on the rest of the route was not thou~lt { of by Letter Carrier Peterson as tue
 dog which often followed him many times left when she got tired and went home.
 MT. Munson Friday evening inquir- aJ Iii
 it since morning and no trace could be found of the animal Saturday went by and Sunday morning came and the dog was given up as lost, the thought being that some one had kid mapped her.
 Late Sunday afternoon Nellie weak and gaunt came into the yard of the Munson house and parked feebIy for the door to be opened to her, Her bark was heard and she was gladly let in and given some food which sine ate ravenously.
 A little later the boy came to the Munson house and told of going into
 the house to get 6 parcel that had been left and being nearly knocked over by Nellie who rushed out of the
 door and started for home. Only for the boy having to go back to the house on Sunday afternoon this dog ! which is liked by almost everyone, would undoubtedly have perished. A few good meals and Nellie was as well as ever and is now to be seen
 about her home waggIng her tail to everyone who speaks to her
 F. s. BeardsIey said at the hearine regarding the establishment of q fpT1Fa property to Broadbridge avenue tha- he was opposed to the esta blishmenr ] of line if it meant giving away any of the property of the town Others who were present at this hearina l Thursday night spoke along the same lines, but there were number who 1 did not see any reason why some land | should not be given in order to make l a straight line.

This hearing was so that a line can be given to the owners of the old Selleck property opposite the Metho- dist church and is a continuance of the hearings that have been held on fence and building lines which have been held during the past few weeks.
 Olof Christianson, the new owner of this property, is very anxious that these lines be settled so that he can go ahead with the building of the houses and the motion picture thea t~e on this land. Work on the mo- ton picture theatre, which, according to Fred Beckwith. will be one of the best in New England. will be started just as soon as the lines are made, Christianson does not want the pres ent building line which is eight feet back from the fence. as he thinks it will be an injustice to him as stores might be built in the houses already on the street and they be further out than he is allowed to build. One or two of the property owners in that section are anxious for the line eight foot back of the fence line to be es- tabished so that the picture theatre may not be built too near the street.

Not infrequently we notice large
dogs standing on their hind legs
and drinking from the fountain on
First street. Of course the little fell
lows are unable to reach the bubbler
Contamination of the flowing water is
impossible even though dogs do drink
from the fountain although many peo-
pie think SO. But why not attach a
small low trough to the fountain SO
that the little dogs may drink also.
The big fellows would use this too.
On hot summer days dogs suffer great
" from thirst and many an owner
never thinks Of furnishing them water.
Humane societies in the larger cities
have installed fountains for dogs and
horses and it is an excellent idea.

for their benefit, now that rations are
less vigorously controlled. They feed
out Of the hands Of their benefactors

glitter in the sunshine as they fly up

certain places. Admiralty arch is an
other favorite resort, but all over the
city the birds have small colonies, and
crowds Of faithful friends. In Venice
and in Florence the pigeons are as
much u part Of the picture as the
greatest buildings, a finishing touch
as it were, with which nobody can dis.

"A. G. Tolaas, chief Inspector under
the new seed potato inspection law
announces that the time limit for ap-
plications for potato seed certi6cation
has been extended from July 1 to
August l. This extension has been
made because of the lack of familiari-
ty Of potato growers with the work
ings Of the new law and in order that
all who wish may avail themselves OF
it's benefits.
Application blanks may be obtained
by addressing A. G. Tolaas, Universe.

The Importance of the new law to
Minnesota potato growers is manifest
when it is known that states like Okla
homa, which furnish a big market fol
Minnesota seed potatoes, refuse to ac-
cept stock which is not certified.
