NEW RIPETUs IN BAsE RAIL

NEW IMPETUS IN BASE BALL
After considerable persuasion on
the part of J. H. Beatty VIM. Staley
has accepted the management of the
Montpelier Phosphates. Mr.. Staley
has successfully engineered Mont
pelier thru three seasons of baseball
when competition was keen and play
|ers hard to get.
The club is now composed OF ma
Iterial equal to that of any other club
in these parts and with proper direct
ing they will win their show of the
games.
Mr.. Beatty CONTINUOUSLY asks that
the Montpelier public give the club
the sort of support that makes ball
players play ball and he promises a
brand of ball satisfactory to all who
appreciate the bumps that must be
overcome in the use OF the boys who
have played together so little.

The Market


Evidence of q return to normsley Of
Liberty bonds was seen yesterday In
the first sale at par of any government
war obligation an more than q year.
This improvement In United States
bonds has resulted from the gradual
withdrawal OF distressed offerings from
the market. The sale of a block of
frst-second Az per eents on. the Stock
Exchange caused not little interest.
The same issue changed hands at
loo.so on January 20, last year. The
previous sale Of these bends was on
Monday, at 81, which was $50 below
the closing quotation on February 10.
The first-second ANS seldom are traded
IN, as the outstanding amount is rela-
lively small, and, therefore, subject
to considerable fuctuation. These
bonds are. the first 31ss converted into
fourth loan, due 1932-1s47. They sold
at, high Of l02.06 on October 4, 1919,
and the lowest reached was Sc, on May
20 last yeay. There is said to be a
short interest" in this security, as a
result of heavy selling of Libertys
and the small amount of the issue out
standing. No doubt this accounts in
"a measure for the sharp advance yes
.terdsy.

II. w. Dubiske 81 Co.. III West Monros
street, Chicago. stocks and bonds. Also
whether you would conssder Continental
Clay Company and Stevens -Duryea, Inc,
as safe inyestments.--E w.
Answerl-We do not consider Cont
mental Clay and Stevens Duryea stocks
to be safe investments. We do not
pass on the reliability of brokers. Our
criticism of II. W. Dubiske & Co. is
that they sell speculative stocks to
small investors on the representation
that they are safe, that there is no
ready market for the shares, and the
process of persuading people to buy
these stocks is expensive--not to Du-
biske, but to the buyer-especially
when comparison is made with secu-
rites which are safe.

England Plans an Import
Duty on Cheap Goods
Aim is 10 Keep Merchandise
From Congesting Markets and
Disturbing Exchange

LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE Star to-day
prints an outline Of the governments
"anti-dumping' bill" drafted with the
purpose of improving trade and stabil-
izing exchange. The newspaper says the
measure will be introduced in Com
mons next week.
The measure would empower the
Board of Trade, after committee recon-
rnendations, either to bar entirely or
to admit on license number. of ar
tieles, among them fine chemicals, GER
tain giasswares, special porceiains,
optical lenses, tungsten powder. zinc
oxide, arc lamp carbons and gas
mantles.
The clauses dealing with exchange,
says the Star, would enable the -goe-
ernment ito impose an import duty,
particularly on cheap goods, which. ris-
ing or falling with exchange rates over
the period of a month, will establish
parity between the price of imported
and home-produoed goods
