Sudden Fall of Liberty
 Bonds on N. Y. Market

New York.-Liberty bonds have sunk to lowest levels on the New York mar ket. The tax exempt first loan SIS dropped to 86.S4, the lowest. price on record for them. Other issues were in proportion. D The drop was due to the action of the Reserve Bank in ruling that hereafter the bonds would not be accepted from banks as collateral at par, but only on the basis of their market value.
 As the Federal Resarve Bank IS practically Government institution, it has always accepted the Govern ment's bonds as worth their face value for the purpose of protecting balances due it from banks. This is the first time-it has questioned the parity of the Governments obligations.

ESeteria, B.. C.-With the coming ;nto force of the British Columbia ieaofz Aet the province emerges from asthree and half years "dry' period. The new. aot Is the result of the refer endual, taken onu October 20 last throughoub the province when the people emphatically voted for the sale of liquor in sealed packages by the Government. ThsAmajority in favor of repeating the, prohibition act was about 49,000. The new liquor act is now in force, and the steadily increasing, de- mand for permits shows.that 1t is. im- mensely popular.
 The prohibition act, which closed the bars and all public drinking places throughout the province, came into force on the first day of October, 1917, during the war, when the people, by a small majority, voted to prohibit the Sale of liquor except by Government dispensarles. In order to purchase liqnor under the prohibition act it was necessary to first obtain prescription from a medical doctor. for which fee of S2 was charged. Thes maximum quantity purchasable from.a Govern ment dispensary- was two gallons of liuuor. So great was the rush on the dispensaries, and so many prescriptions were being issued, that the Govern ment, at the session of aae Legislature in 1920, amended the act prohibiting the sale by Government dispensaries of more than eight ounces on a doctors prescription.
 In 1919 move was made to have the prohibition act repealed, and this eff agreed to submit the question offuture linuor Legislation to the people. A Moderation League was organized to work for4the repeal of the act, the obt' the sale of liquor under Government. control. Lt was asserted that bootleg ging was rampant througbout the province and that measure which would permio 'the sale of liquor under proper control wouldsbe preferableeto to the prohibition act. The prohibition ists fought for the retention of their. act, but the Inoderationists won.
 At the last session of the Legislature, which closed a;few weeks ago, the new. liquor act was passed. following weeks
