Major Bradley and Henderson Golf.

Major Bradley and Henderson Goff.
When Bill Dale, the expert mining
man Hayes and the w mountaineers
stepped from a short passenger train
at the Halfway switch, they were APP
preached by he mOOnshiner, Heck,
and a man whom Dale had never seen
before. He was tall, and his bearing
was erect and soldierlike, though he
vas every day of sixty years old.
His eyes were blue and twinkling with
everlasting good humOr; his gray
mustaches and imperial were exceed
ingly well cared for; his teeth were
his own, and as white as a school,
girls, and they bore out his general
air of neatness. He was, plainly, a
SOutherner Of the old type.
who's that?" whispered Dale to
John MOreland.
But MOreland didn't hear. He ran
forward with his right hand out
stretched, and so did Ben Littleford.
Men could not have greeted a brother
with more gladness, Dale thought.
Hi, thar, Major Bradley !" the hill
man cried. And how dye come on
tOday?"
II am very well, gentlemen. thank
you" said the major, smiling.
He shook their hands heartily. 1.-The
trainuen gave us your message yester-
day." he went on. still smiling, land
we were delighted TO learn that the
young woman was out of danger. l
trust you are all in good health, gen.
tlemen."
They assured him that they were.
Moreland turned TO introduce Bill Dale
and the mining man. From the mo-
ment that Major Bradley gripped
Dale's hand they were friends.
Mighty glad to know you, sir :"
exclaimed the old lawyer. I've been
hearing a great deal about you, sir,
over in the valley Of the Doe. They

"Hah-hah-hah. ;" sluggishly laughed
BY Heck, who stood leaning Ln the
muZZle of his rifle. Bill Dale is all
right, major; ye've shore got my word
TO that"
The others laughed. Then John
Moreland said they'd better be NOV
ing, or they'd be late for dinner.
When they had put a hundred yards
of David MOreland's mountain behind
them, the old %Southerner tugged slyly
at Dale's sleeve and whispered:

LIBERTY BONDS
AGAIN DECLINE
Federal Reserve Banks Ac-
tion Responsible for :
Heavy Selling.

NEW YORK, June ,2.-The action
of the New York Federal Reserve
bank in putting liberty bonds on
the same plane with other securities
as collateral for loans discountable
at the bank resulted in heavy SELL
ing of nearly all bonds in this
group. The 3hs sought still low
er level of depreciation at SC be-
fore receiving enough support to
cause a rally. Fourth AVS went as
low as S6.5s in the morning, but
rallied when the pace slackened
in the noon hour. The market as
whole appeared to be Unusually
active chiefly for the reason that
bibertys were brought out in large
blocks, the total sales for all bonds
during the first two hours EXCEED
ing those of the entire Tuesday ses-
sion by a few thousand. While the
chief selling omtive was the fed
eral reserve action already referred
to the fact that the 3hs were again
the weakest of the list indicated
that the market was still being
called upon to absorb sales prompt
ed by the prospect of income tax
reductions. The fact that victory
AXIS, which have the same tax ex-
emptions features as the avs. held
their ground in todsy's trading lent
weight to the tax selling explana-
ton. Beginning July the re-
serve bank will accept liberty
bonds strictly at their market value
as collateral for loans. The effect
of this ruling will be to remove
from libertys their last trace OF
sentimental value. With the rally
in these bonds beginning around
noon, the market became compare
lively dull. Sales in the first two
hours totaled more than sl3.ooo.o00,
and only s2.000.o0o in the noon hour
Public utility bonds were dull. Rails
and industrials were fairly steady
and without important change
Foreign issues followed the trend
of corporation bonds.

GOOD DEMAND IN

Industrials Reflect Price
Adjustments.

NEW YORK, June although

According to figures compiled by
the National Association Of Wool
Manufacturers. the estimated num-
Der of sheep In the world in 1920
was 5s5,235,117 compared with 57s.-
922,s33 in 1919. This is a reduction
of nearly 100000 during the year
and the estimates for 1919 showed
a reduction of over 2o.ooo,o0o as
compared with 1918 These figures
give some idea of the trend in the
worlds sheep industry.
The worlds production Of wool.
according to the same source, was
2,ss5,411 900 pounds in 1920 or about
100000 pounds more than In 1913
in spite of the decrease in the num-
Der of sheep. The increase oc-
CURED chiefly in Australia and In
British South Africa.
The principal wool producing
countries in the order of their i'm
portance are Australia, Argentina,
United States. Spain, New Zealand,
South Africa. Russia, Uruguay
and the United Kingdom. The
present situation in each of these
countries presents a serious out
look for the future. Stocks which
accumulated during the war can
not be disposed of because of lack
of demand in the chief consuming
countries. The Department of Ag-
riculture estimated that the. world
carry-over from the 1871? clip was
about 950.000, 900 pounds in the
principal surplus producing coun-
tries. In addition large stocks had
accumulated in the consuming coun-
tries, particularly Great Britain and
the United States. Since then the
clip of the southern hemisphere,
amounting to about 100000 pounds.
has come on to the market and now
the northern hemisphere clip is
appearing.
1t has recently been estimated
that the wool supply of the United
States will be about S25,000,00O
pounds when the new clip of some
500, ,0O0, 900 pounds is available. The
normal consumption of the United
States was about 550.000.000 pounds
before the war, Under pressure OF
war demands consumption rose to
740, ,O00. 900 pounds in 1918, but IL is
doubtful il il will run more than
45.000.0o0 pounds next year. This
country always carries a large re-
serve supply estimated by some au-
thorities as close to 400,000,000
pounds. This is regarded as neces-
sary in order that buyers may have
sufficient grades and qualities from
which to make selections. II seems
that such a quantity is excessive
and that better market organization
might allow a reduction of this
stock.
Current reports Indicate that the
total stock of wool left over in
Great Britain at the end of 1920 was
737,25z,000 pounds. The consump-
tion in 1920 was estimated at 425,-
900, 900 pounds. The prospects for
the present year are regarded as
anything but favorable. Only one

TIMELY WALL STREET TOPICS

NEW YORK. june 2.-After a
short period of hesitation in the
stock market today. there arose de-
mand suficient to produce a rally
of one to two points in railroad
and Industrial stocks. The reason
for this change In the trend was
as obscure as reasons for numerous
declines In recent weeks have been.
1t seemed merely that the technical
oversold condition called for a
swing in the opposite direction.

important about the morning rise,

UNSETTLED TONE
To WHEAT MARKET
Fluctuations Occur Rapidly
With Rallies Failing to
Hold.

CHICAGO, June 2.-Wheat mar
ket was unsettled, but while the
market fiuctuated very rapidly the
average was higher with the best
prices of the season made early
and again around noon. Heavy
selling by some of the buyers OF
previous days induced by the ad-
vance of 10 cents over the finish
of Tuesday was responsible for the
decline after the early bulge but
later a summary of the crop situa-
from a trip over the belt. led to a
general movement to buy and an
adRuce to a new high round noon.
The smallest carry-over in years
was suggested due to light mill
and terminal stocks which offset
the larger cary-over on farms. The

wheat crop in the three Canadian
northwestern provinces at 270,000,-
900 bushels, compared with 233,000,-
900 bushels harvested last year. Ex-
port demand at the seaboard was
reported as active with sales of
around 2,500,o00 bushels claimed.
Corn and oats were as unsettled
as wheat. but failed to hold the
early rally, and the undertone was
not as strong. Cash prices, how
ever, were firm as compared with
