BEAR|SH SENTIMENT IN EVIDENCE AMONG
 WALL STREET CROWD
Call Rate Loans Jumped From Seven to Ten Per Cent Late In the
 Day
By Associated Press

Dy NsSOVidteu fFesS
 New York, May 1.-The stock market 1cday continued to express by it's further reactionary trend an accession of bearish sentiment among traders and the almost complete absence of public interest or support
 Dealings again were largely restricted to selected or speculative shares and it required no great degree of selling pres sure to effect additional impairment U, quoted values, except among pooled" is sues
 Some substantial rallies occurred in the latter dealings, particularly in oils, equip ments and shippings, but these resulted more from short covering than actual demand. The only significant feature of the late rebound lay in the fact that I, was accomplished in the face of a 10 per cent rate for call loans, as against the early quotation of per cent
 Developments bearing upon the mar ket were of the same confusing char acter that have accompanied the trading of the past fortnight. Industrial produc- tion continued to be retarded by railroad congestion and further agitation against high commodity costs.
 The oil industry almost alone seemed exempt from disturbing conditions, all though Mexican issues were subjected to wide fluctuations by advces from across the Roi Grande This was offset how ever, by yet another advance of prices for crude and refined products.
 Steels and equipments made little head way, despite further circumstantal re- ports of mergers and prospective con- tracts for railroad supplies Motors and their subsidiaries also seemed in tenn porary disfavor indications of a revival of demand for metals of little help to tn coppers
 Total sales par value, aggregated S., SO0000. Old U. $. 2s lost A per cent on call; others unchanged.

 Sugar futures were easier. notwfth- standing the firmness in raws. Opening prices were about unchanged for the present crop deliveries, and after selling 10 points above the previous close on covering and little buying by commis- slon nouses prices weakened under liquidation, closing 10 to 25 points net lower.
 New crops were 25 to 35 points lower

Daily Wall Street Gossip
BY HOLLAND.

New York, May 11.-(Special )-It vii. be an appropriate century cele- bration of the plan advocated in 1920 by John c. Calhoun when he was Sec re'ary of War in tir administration of President Monroe-which provided for an interior coast line waterway rem Boston to New Orleans chiefly bv the construction of canals or the ca- na'izing of rivers-if the Florida leg
 siators should enact into law the bill which provides for survey of a canal Florida. U
 No small part of the plan advo- cated by Calhoun las either heen developed or is now under develop- ment. It will be necessary to en- large the Cape Cod canal and also the canal across the state of New rer- se@' Tn addition improvements must De made in canal construction from Norfolk to the North Carolina sounds thence by coastline waterway naviga- uoh can be secured as far as Fernan- dina, Fla.
 II IS assumed that capital will be iouhd Tor the construction of the con- tehpIated canal across Florida and a. part of Georgia. The eastern en- trance to the canal which is to be of urFtH anu breadth enough to float ocean, going ships. is at Fernandina and the western entrance at the head of Georgia bay, few miles south of tallahassee. Perhaps the most TO- mantle feature of the plan is the proposition to utilize the hitherto al- most inaccessible lake in southeastern Georgia which is in the center of the okefenokee swamp. From this lake ny means of the equalization of the Sewanee river, a complete ship canal can be secured. The distance is 275 miles. but is navigabie rivers and Lake okefenokee are utilized. then the say ing will be In actual canal construction about 125 miles.
 The revival of Calho uns proposition 100 years after he made 1t Is undoubt- edly to be traced to the enormous in- crease of commerce of the Mississippi valley. Not only coal and oil deposits of the valley which row find need for good transportation facilities in order to reach the worlds markets would. were a canal of this kind constructed. secure safe and navigable water from New Orleans as far as Ferdinand, Flor ida, thence along the coast to the sounds of North Carolina and so on .Tx

Recently there has been excellent demonstration of the value of the Mis- sissippi river as commerce bearer, because a cargo which was loaded at St Louis in steel barges was lowed safely and with excellent speed to New Dreams. This will be followed by other slow freight service until at last the Mississippi will regain some of the commerce which she began to lose 25 years ago.

Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1920-08-27
Prosecutor Hints at Illegal
Expenditures

E. g. Cole, prosecutor of Cape May
county, this week sends a long letter
to the county papers for publication.
The JOURNAL cannot print it in full,
but will give it publicity in a biief way.
Mr.. Cole says that statements have
come to him that demand strict in
quiry, that the increasing expenditures
OF public money justify a fuller know
ledge of how it is disbursed. He says
''there are in his possession items of
alleged information that he clearly be-
lieves should be given to a competent
and unbiased tribunal for investigation
aud disproof or for publicity"
He calls attention to a law that pro-
vides that if twenty-five taxpayers
and citizens have reason 10 believe that
public moneys are being unlawfully or
c%orruptly expended they can appeal to
any Justice of the Supreme Court, who
hss the power TO order an investiga-
ton. Mr.. Cole further Gays "the con-
ditions commonly believed to exist,
and not all recently, are not wholly
unknown to the trained aud fearless
jurist who presides in our highest
Court, and no confidence is violated in
the statement that he is in sympathy
with any inquiry which our people are
willing to call for, and if and when the
petition above provided for is laid be-
fore him, will promptly act"
Mr.. Cole does not hint in what NUM-
cipality there is believed to be wrong
doing-whether it is Wildwood, CAPE
May, Ocean City, or the county of Cape
May itself. The county is governed
by fifteen Chosen Freeholders, elected
from the various divisions of the
county. Joseph MacKissie, who rep
resents Wildwood Crest and Lower
township in the County Board of Free
holders, was indicted by the last grand
jury in connection with furnishing
material for the county. Just what
bearing, if any, this has on the Pros
ecutor's letter we do not kno. 1t seems
that after the session of the April
grand jury some indictments were i'm
pounded, which brought forth criticism
of some of the county officials. Some
body limited that there were political
reasons for Withholding the findings of
the grand jury. In this letter to the
press, as we understand it, MI. Cole
denounces this accusation as untrue.
Mr.. Cole feels that these critics should
show their courage by signing a petit
ton to the Judge, and he promises to
assist with all the power Of his Office,
to the end that truth may prevail.
