LESS ACTIVE TRADING.
WITH MANY FIRM SPOTS

NEW YORK, April 25.-The tone Of
the stock market at the irregular
opening of today's session continued
to reflect the confusion Of sentiment
prevailing in speculative circles,
mainly as a result OF foreign advices.
Short covering was observed in some
of the equipments, oils and low-priced
rails, Texas and Pacific scoring new
high for the present movement.
Shippings, metals, motors and utili-
ties were hesitant and mostly lower.
but United. States Steel held around
yesterdays closing quotation Of par
after a slight setback.
Forenoon prices Of liberty bonds were
quoted as follows: AVS. 9S.4S: first As,
$3.50; second As. $3.50: first 4As. $3.50:
second ANS. 1886; third AIS. $3.50;
fourth 4hs. 1924.
The noteworthy feature of the
morning was the marked falling of Of
operations. sales declining almost 40
per cent below the extensive dealings
of recent sessions.
A more confident feeling ruled. how
ever. and much of yesterdays loss was
recovered
Oils were especially strong, gaining
l to 3 points.
Equipments made almost equsi ad-
vances, and shippings responded to
renewed buying at gains Of 1 to 2
points,
Texas and Pacific and Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas shares dominated the
rails. rising l to 2a points
Utilities were heavy. American Tele-
phone and Ohio Gas losing Il to 2h
points, respectiy ely.
Broader Demand for Rails.
A broader demand for secondary
rails at further gains featured the
mdseason. Sales Of Texas Pacific
land trust certificates. including odd
lots at 325, represented an advance OF
so points over their previous quota
tions. =-.'.s+
The usual market leaders were dull
and irregular.

Answer To T.

In regard to the otiicar@ Ail
the town boys, we wisil 20
that, if the citizens of 1ieain
would investigate the facts ~
gardlng the actions OF tie yos
around Glenmora. they woaidco.
clude that we have done nntbin
more than the law presctige3
We do not deny the fact thai
those men were drunk; s>at the
law does notprescribefura anotficer
to shoot a man being drunk. We
did arrest them and they PAID g.
fine. We viii further say. that
the officers of this town are stric
tly opposed to such things or
cursing around children and Ia
dies. And it is a fact that those
drunken men did not use atiy
worse language while drunk
than some ofour basiness men
and ladies when sober, including
aforesaid " aheFs who G elzes
the e6ieers da' 'Glenmora.
We realize the fact thai II Is
hard to enforce the law to Ill
satisfaction Of all the peop +: b1t
will promise the pnblic in the fut
ure to enforce the law withou
fear or favor: we will arrest all
violators of the law, who disturb
the peace of Glenmora or a!ew
cursing or bad language about
their premises-visitors and hus
mess men alike.
We are bound to say thet pnb-
licly criticising officers by shati-
ing the truth, is a mark OF a bad
citizen. The duty of all good cit
izens is to support the officers OF
the law in suppfessing all viola,
tions of the law, regarless of the
nature of the violation. Justice
demands this. s
We. can't see howsany good cit
izen can criticize officers through
the public press BY shading the
facts in the case and trying te
make a false impression on
the mind of the public. This false
impression MIR. Taberlet's . arsi-
Gle was aiming to make by insin.
uating that the officers. did not
enforce the law on all alike.
We wish to apologize to the
public for being SO ienient Wit
him in his violation of tha decahi
language law, but will pran ise
toarrest all vialators of the law
when called to our attention,
friend and foe alike.
