DULL TONE TO
STOCK MARKET
Dealers Reported More than Usual
Activity in Foreign Exchange.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Aside from
the customary weekend settlement of
short contracts in oils, steels. motors
and selected specialties at fair. sub
stantial advances, today's short ses-
sion of the stock market was dull and
featureless.
A few shares under recent deures-
sion, notably Atlantic Gulf. moved
contrary to the general list, probably
because of conditions peculiar to those
issues. This applied in more rnoder-
ate measure to New Haven and Penn
sylvania, but rails almost as a. whole
were in the background. Sales amount
ed to $500 shares.
The clearing house weekly report
showed the relatively small increase
Of about s33,000,000 in actual loans
and discounts, a much larger expan-
! sion having been expected in view of
heavy federal tax payments.
Reserves of members at the fedora
reserve bank decreased by almost S35.-
100000. effacing the greater part Of
last weeks gain. and a contraction Of
slightly over s31.000.000 in cash hold
ings reduced the excess reserve to
SO, 440 900.
A more hopeful note was sounded in
the days general news, authoritative
trade reviews reaching a gain In the
wholesale drygoods business over the
corresponding period last year. Mer-
camille conditions We're better as to

was steady on very narrow turnover.
Total sales, par value, $685. 900.

ALLOW RATE hike
Temporary Injunction Granted
in Bell Telephone Case.
Will Prevent Interference by
Industrial Court.

A temporary fn1unctlon TO prevent
the court of industrial relations or the
attorney general from interfering with
the proposed raise in rates by the
Southwestern Bell Telephone company
was signed today by Judge James A.
Mcclure, of the district court. The
injunction will not become effective
for thirty days, in order to allow the
newly created public utilities commits
sion to decide the case. The order
affects the cities of Atchison, Edo
rado. Lyons. Hutchinson, Winfield and
Arkansas City.
Judge Mcclure held that the delay
of the industrial court in passing on
the Bell company's application for an
increase in rates amounted to a con-
fiscation of property and in practical
effect was depriving the company of
it's property without due process of
law. Evidence showed. Judge Nc
Clure said, that during the last year
in Arkansas City the company had
made only $79 above its operating ex-
penses on an investment of s259.000.
allowing nothing for depreciation or
return. In the other cities affected,
the returns was a fraction of 1 per
cent. he said.
Must Give 100000.
In allowing the injunction, the court
required the company to give bond in
the sum of 100000, the estimated
difference between the present rate
land the proposed new rate. In the
event the proposed rate is decided
upon as too great, the company will
be required to refund to its subscrib-
ers. pro rata. the difference.
The Bell company officials went be-
fore the industrial court a year ago,
asking. its help in adjusting wage in
crease asked by its employees. The
court advised them. it was said. to
| then file application for a raise in
rates. An increase in wages amount
| ing to $280,000 a year was made. and
| in July, 1920, applications for rate in
creases in three Kansas towns were
filed. hearing was held. evidence
submitted and the reports of expert
engineers. both of the company and
the industrial court. were filed.
| The case dragged for months with
out a decision. In September, applica-
! tions to increase the rates in the re-
naming three towns were filed. and
this dragged for five months after the
hearing. The company then filed a
petition in the district court asking
| a temporary injunction to prevent the
industrial court from interfering with
! its proposed rate increase. The tele-
phone company claimed a loss of $500
la day.
| Thirty Days to Pass on Case.
AS matters now stand. the public
| utilities commission has thirty DAYS in
which to pass on the case and decide
what shall be a fair and reasonable
rate. If no decision is made at that
time, the injunction will become ef-
fective. If a decision should be made
that the present rates are sufficient
4 the case will be appealed to the dis.
trict court.
Judge Mcclure found that the pres
ent rates are unreasonable and con-
fiscatory.

NO RAINFALL REPORTS
Weather Bureau Has No Funds for
Temperature and Rain Service.

The daily weather bureau bulletins
giving rainfall and temperatures at
about thirty cities in Kansas. which
are always printed in The State Jour
nal. will not be resumed this spring
until May 1 instead of April / Short
age of funds is given as the reason.
For years the appropriation for the
weather bureau has remained sta
tionary, while the cost of white paper
and the other supplies have gone sky-
ward. This has forced curtailment of
service along several lines of the bu-
reau's activities and so this year KAN
sas people will have to do without the
detailed weather reports from over the
state until month later than they
