GOSSIP OF

Considering the cool reception given
the large number of constructive de-
Veiopments recently, the question has
naturally arisen what sort of stimu-
iant Is needed to release the market
from It's lethargy.' Not in long time
mas there been such diversity of opinion
as TO the immediate future of the mar
ket, nor has there ever been such con.
spicious lack Of confidence of obtaining
a sustained constructive movement. It
was generally agreed yesterday a tech
nical rally was due, II not overdue, as
all signs pointed to tne existence of an
abnormal short interest. The continued
stringency of money, however, seemingly
nrecludes any protracted recovery.
Secretary Melons plan to fund the
Government floating debt is just in line
with the conservative policy the leading
bankers suggested during the recent
conference at Washington. Still in the
opinion Of financial interests It is only
part of the scheme to be completed.

Special to Tho Chicftnin.
Denver, Feb. s5.-Tho state same
and fish commissioner. Rolly Farvin,
believes that II the state would build
five big fish hntchcrIcs and discard
the II 1t now has, or II It would en-
large five Of them and discard tho
other nine. It could effect great
saving in money and get better re-
suits in raising fish.
According to Mr.. Paryin. tho thing
tina, is needed in raising fish arc the
growing pools. iIo says they taN'
about twenty to twenty-five million
email fish from tho hatchorics each
year and dump them in tho strcams.
The fish are only about an inch long
and over S. per cent % them die from
tho change from tho hatchery water
to the cold water Of the Nreams.
His position Is that Il they had
hatcherics largo enough 30 they could
have growing pools they could grow
the fish until they were four or flEo
inches long and put them in tho big
streams and there would bc no danger
OF death or OF destruction OF the
smaller ones by the larger oncs.
