they were turned down and new
bids will be called for. However
il is the intention of the council to
have the second big wall in running
order by the time the demand is
strong in the spring. They feel that
the vote for the additional bands is
an expression favorable to perfect
water system and that they have an
added responsibility in that direct
ion.
Several bidders were in attendance
at this meeting on the pump INSTALL

ton.
The only other business transacted
was the appropriation of $500 voted
for the Woman's Club Library. The
ladies have been handling this propo-
sition as best they could, and the
appropriation will enable them to
keep the Library open more hours
as we'll as buy more books. This is
a highly meritorious proposition and

The City Council held meeting
last night to act on the question of
buying pumps and drilling another
big well.
The question OF the pumps was
first considered, and after all the
bids had been opened and the merits
of the different machines discussed
an order was placed for two Amer
lean Centrifugal pumps, each Of
which is guaranteed to throw 500
gallons per minute into the big tank.
One of these was ordered for i'm
mediate shipment, the other to be
shipped by the time the second well
is finished,
The council did a lot of investi-
eating before buying these pumps
and got the most expert advice OBJ
tainable. They found that in the big
irrigation project conducted by the
Sugar Beet Co. at Garden
City, the American centrifugal pump
was used almost exclusively, and this
had some weight in the selection of
This particular pump.
In every way the pump is said to
be the last word in pump mechan-
ism and thoroughly up to the minute.
The second well will be drilled
as soon as satisfactory bid can be
secured. Several were submitted but

Advance in Stock
Prices Che ked as
Call Money Jumps
Demand for Stocks Sub
sides When Rate Goes to
Ii Per Cent: Foreign
Exchanges Slump Again

The banks frightened the strings on
their money bags again yesterday, and
as a result the advance in stock prices
was checked The market displayed
considerable strength during the
greater part of the session, although
extreme dullness prevailed throughout.
But when the call money went to 10
per cent. the buoyancy which had been
displayed by the industrial section OF
the list was changed to heaviness, the
reactionary trend being accentuated
during the late trading as the demand
loan rate got up to II per cent, the
highest and closing rate Of the day.
Dear money did not precipitate much
selling. but it did cause many specula-
tors who had been looking for d favor
able turn TO refrain from buying, so
that very little pressure was needed
to halt the advance The market ap
parently has reached an impasse In
view Of the ovcrsold condition which
seemingly exists, professional opera
tors are not inclined to increase their
short commitments, while the uncer-
tainty as to money and the failure of
the public to respond to Improvement
in the last few days makes even the
most bullish traders reluctant to oper-
ate extensively on the long side. There
/ is nothing at the moment to indicate
that this deadlock will be broken until
some highly important development,
either favorable or unfavorable, takes
place.
There does not seem to be much
prospect for material improvement in
the money situation in the near future.
New York is being called upon to carry
a burden which rightly should fall upon
other Federal Reserve institutions.
Thousands of people in all sections Of
the country are selling their Liberty
bonds and Victory notes, and a very
large share of the sales originating IN
the interior are made through New
York, for tho reason that there Is no
other important market. Wealth Is
it is the wealthy individuals and large
financial institutions that are taking
the bonds.
Unfortunately, there is little reason
for believing that this selling will
diminish On the contrary, as the ef-
fects of the recent increases in redis-
count rates are felt more fully, the
selling probably will tend to increase.

tinue to sell the bonds in order to
obtain funds needed in their affairs,
banks only with difficulty and at high

The continued slump in the foreign
exchanges WAS not a factor Of much i'm
portance except as it had tendency
TO discourage optimism. But while the
effects on the stock market of the con-
tinued depreciation of the pound, the
franc, the lire and the Canadian dollar
in terms Of United States currency are
not important at the moment, it is
certain that eventually a profound in
Huence on security values will be ex-
erted unless some way is found to
arrest the decline. Every point the
exchanges go down adds just so much
to the cost of American goods to the
foreign consumer, and thus tends to
restrict buying here.
Liberty bonds again went lower under
the pressure of continuing liquidation.
