The volume Of deAlings N the local
market was again small, but the tone
Of the general list was much stronger!
and in. most OF the representative local
stocks advances from small fractions
to over 4 point werp recorded. The
frmness OF Pennsylvania Railroad was
yone OF the outstanding Developments
with that stock advancing to AN. It

up much better than anticipated and

the increased trafic from other sources.

to postpone such an action until clear,

A development which came In for
considerable attention was the placing
Of some out of town money by one of
the larger institutions at Az per cent.
This is the lowest call rate since 1917.
1t does not necessarily mean general
reduction in the local rate, as the loan
was really special transaction. 1t,
however, was generally accepted as q
straw in the wind of the continued cas-
ing of money market conditions.
A newcomer made its debut on the 10.
cal exchange today after an eventful
run on the New York Curb Market.
1t was the Radio Corporation Of Amer

time in the unlisted department. The

promises to make 1t lively adjunct.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

Now York. May 4.-The coffee flu
lures market opened to 8 points higher
this morning on a scattered commission
house demand. There was less activity
in the market, buyers and sellers being
apart.
Sharp advance at both Rio and San
tos furnished impetus for some new
buying of futures in this market late in
the forenoon and prices quickly worked
to lO.32c. September to 0.9Oc and De-
cember to 9.76c, or 12 to 13 points net
higher. The closing of the &c, ,0O0, 900
stcr ing loan to Brazil seems to have
strengthened the primary markets, and
recent advances there increased the al
ready wide disparity between the two
| ma arkets.

AS THE EDITOR SEES IT

We often hear people remark that
lit makes no difference what other
people think But it does make s
difference. This town is a collection
of people. This state is a collection
OF cities and towns and the surround
ing c~ountrysides.
This country is simply a collection
Of sovereign states welded together III
a single and central government for
their own protection and advance
ment.
The government is dependent upon
the states, and the states are depend
ent upon their cities and towns and
countrvsides, and the latter are de-
pendent upon the people who compose
their respective populations.
The government is beginning to
make some Roadway in the prosecu-
ton Of public officials and others who
have been detected in the perpetra-
ton of gigantic war frauds.
We have been woiting for such ne
ton for a long time. We will contin-
ne to wait and look and expect until
they make a clean sweep of the mil
lionaire thieves and their "small fry
dupes.
Mr.. Average Citizen believes in
obeyinc the law-and obeys it. 1t
Jars him to see others get away with
what he himself is forbidden to do.
The most popular orator is the one
who says the least and doesn't delay
in the saying. He never tires his
audience.
Some people are inconsiderate
enough to become peeved when others
appraise them at their true worth.

If the weather man will obligingly
predict a severe winter it will help
some, with no coal in sight. We know
how to take his predictions.
Income tax laws have their good
points. Men nowadays don't lie as
much as they used to about how much
money they make.
