The Market

In the bond market yesterday the
reacuonary tendencies which devel-
oped IN Mondays dealings became more
pronounced. Practically all OF the
active issues underwent substantial re-
ces'ions on active dealings. The sec
0nd Liberty ~ yielded from $3.50 to
~ the third AIS from $500 to o46O.
me fourth Liberty Al. s from 1913 to
$50 and the Victory Az S from 80 40
to 99.38. The frat 3 "a were slightly
lower, at 1888. The only explanation
OF the downward movement was the
tighter money situation, which stimu-
lated proft-taking. The rest OF the
oond market, while active, moved mar
roW4y. Mexican government issues
were strong on reports Of progress in
the plan for refunding the external
debt Of Mexico. Railway bonds were
generally steady. An interesting de-
velopment in the investment market
IS the closing by local bankers of a
new South American government loan,

IL Electric, Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing. American Locomitive,
American Tobacco and American
Telephone and Telegraph. We do
not think that these stocks are sell
ng much "out of line" when COM
pared with STOCKS generally. But VIC do
believe that they arc selling far below
not only their book value. but below
their value as earncrs. Their present
low prices are partly reflection Of
reduced earnings and partly the re-
suit Of high money rates. Cheaper
money and better business should
help these stocks.

DR.. w. Scott Hill, first president Of
the Kennebec Historical Society, p.
5. Mooney, its present secretary.
Smith S. Randall and others are in
terested in seeing the society again
put on a running basis. DR. Hill said
last evening that if sufficiently
large number of citizens could be in
tereSted, he thought that it would be
of distinct advantage to the city to
again have an active Historical So
ciety. MIR. Mooney stated that while
he had not had time to go into the
matter thoroughly, he believed such
a society was a good thing for the
city, and he would be glad to tell
about the history of the society itself
as soon as the reorga nization work
reached a stage where it seemed GER
tain to go through. but he thought
the time was a trile premature to go
too deeply into things until he found
what the sentiment was among those
most likely to be interested.

Nav Be Revived

A movement is on foot in this city
to revive the kennebec Historical So
ciety which has been inactive for
several years due to the deaths of
many of the leading members of the
organization. r. w. Emerson of
Portland who has been assembling
the relics for the reconstruction mu
scum at Fort Western. and who has
devoted much of his time to study
| ing history relative to Augusta and
the surrounding district, conferred
Tuesday with many of those who
were formerly actively interested in
local history. and his plans for again
starting the society were well re-
ceived
| 1t has been nearly eight years since
the city has had an active historical
association, but the work of recon
structing Fort Western has revived in
terest in the early history of this vic
unity, and is expected that there will
ibe a large number of citizens suffi-
GENTLY interested in the society to put
their hands to the wheel and help it
to a new start.
The history of the Kennebec dis
trict is the most interesting of any
section in Maine. The establishment
of a trading post here by the Ply
mouth Colony shows its importance
as a strategic center for trade as far
back as 1928 Much of this early
history relates directly to the Augusta

MUNICIPAL COURT
Eknos 6ulaer of WatervilIe Commit
ted to the Augusta State Hospital
After Hearing Tuesday Afternoon

Hearing was held before Judge
Robert A. Cony at the municipal court
Tuesday afternoon to determine the
mental condition of Eknos Bulger OF
Waterville who was recently commit
ted to Jail from the Waterville munic-
ipal court to serve a sentence for
intoxication. The question was
whether the man should be sent to
the Augusta State hospital instead Of
remaining in Jail and testimony was
given by Drs. G. E. Washburn and
Samuel H. kagan, who had examined
Bulger, that they believed him of I'M
sound mind. Upon their testimony
Judge Cony ordered the man commit
ted to the State hospital.
In answer to questions by the court
Bulger stated that he is q years Of
age, that he came from Austria, and
that he had recently come from Yer
mont where he had been employed
chopping pulpwood In answering 9TH
er questions Bulger appeared very ir-
rational and the judge decided that
Bulger was in such a mental condition
as to justify his being committed to
the State hospital
