Extension Granted in
Doyle-Tlford Suit

An extension of time was granted
in the case of George Doyle aud 9TH
ers against Grover and Lane Tilford,
set for trial in the district court
Tuesday. The suit was started some
time last year as the result of the
Tilford brothers using floodwaters in
Dry gulch. at Osceola. for placer min
ing. An Injunction was issued out OF
the district court shortly after the
beginning of the suit. restraining the
Tilford brothers from using the wa
ter.
At the time set for trial last Tues
day District Attorney c. A. Walker,
who is counsel for the plaintiffs,
asked TO file a supplemental COM
plant, which will incorporate the per-
nit for the use of the water granted
by the state engineer subsequent t.
the beginning of the present case.
Anthony Zurich, attorney for the
defendants. asked for additional time
to file pleading TO the supplemental
complaint and at the same time pre-
sented the argument to the court
that the introduction of the permit
te plaintiffs to use the water issued
after the date of the legal proceed
ihgs was an admission on the part
of plaintiffs that they were no more
entitled than defendants to the ex-
elusive use of the water at the time
the proceedings were started The

market observers say that the ad-

the next two or three weeks. but funda-

upward trend this year.

sonable to expect further appreciation.
which Is especially true Of the secondary

$15O,OOO,OOO NEW
FINANCING PLACED
Market Absorbs in Week the
Largest Offering of Similar
Period in Long Time.

Tho investment market was put last
week to a crucial test when IL was
called on to absorb approximately
$3.50. 100000 more of new financing. the
largest amount offered in a single week
for many months past. The result was
extremely gratifying to bankers offering
the new securities. because In the case
OF all the largo obligations subscriptions
were two or three times larger than the
amounts offered.
Four-ffths Of the grand total Of new
financing last week was divided into
three loans, a $30.000,000 loan to Bel
gium, one OF 10000, 900 to the American
Agricultural Corporation and another OF
$50. 900, 900 to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. The balance was mostly city
and state financing.
The Kingdom Of Belgium bonds were

tural bonds yielded about TN, and the
Pennsylvania issue about 6ss. That in
vestors believe that a and per cent.
investment, market will not last much
longer was evidenced by the scramble
to buy those issues. For instance. In
the case of the Pennsylvania loan, after
so per cent of It had been apportioned to
the syndicate, only s12.ooo.0oo was left
for allotment and for that amount sub
scriptions exceeding $260.000,000 were
received. The allotments In that loan
were less than s per cent. Allotments
on subscriptions to the Belgian loan
were made on a basis of from 10 to Is
per cent.
According to bond men those results
give much encouragement to further long
term financing and It is predicted that

before this squirt of new financing dies
down 1t will exceed the movement OF
last October, when about S3O0.OOO.000
was absorbed two or three times. They
contend that the potential demand for
good securities from large corporations
and individuals is enormous and has not
been nearly satisfied. More than
$500, 900 900 In new financing has been
done in this city since the present move
ment started two or three weeks ago.
It is pointed out that money will con-
tinue to flow into investment channels
and the demand for bonds continue as
long as we are passing through this
period OF Industrial reaction and falling
commodity prices. By the same token,
with money becoming more plentiful.
new bond issues cannot be expected to
bear such high interest rates much
longer.
Another important piece Of financing
last week was an issue Of $10,000.000
OF per cent. sinking fund gold bonds
of the Ohio Power Company. There
was about s16,000,000 Of state and
municipal bonds offered and Of them q

Of Florida bonds will lead this week,
which will sec. no doubt, several more
large offerings OF that class OF secure
ties. Bids and tenders for about s1s.-
100000 of State and municipal issues
will be presen ed before the end Of the
week, and include the States Of WASH
ington, Idaho. oregon. Minnesota and
Maryland.
The State of washington bonds will
be sold to provide funds for a soldiers
bonus That phase OF the situation IL
attracting a good deal of attention. The
State OF New Jersey Is waiting to offer
s12.000,000 of the same sort Of bonds

obtained. That award was supposed to
be made on, February 15, but II Is be-
lievcd that It will be postponed until
next June. that interest dates may cor

Another announcement Of great inter-
est to bond men was that made last
week by Maurice Casenave, Director
General Of French Services In the United

indefinitely. M. Casenave explained that
