NEW YORK. June 6.-The stock mar

undertone and price movements, although

under the circumstances Monday. Total
transactions were around million and
4 quarter shares Irregularity character

unsettled and declines in some Of the re-
Gently bulled issues extended from a
point to more than two points. The clos

The chief features Of strength were fur

American Wooden and Dupont, together
with few specialties. The strength in
L. :. Steel. which established a new high
level at 1924, appeared TO be due partly
to the rough sailing experienced by the
various mergers OF its rivals. While the
announcement OF the complaint Of the
Federal Trade Commission against the
Bethlehem Lackawanna merger brought
considerable selling into the independent
shares. it appeared to stimulate buying
OF steel common. Traders also probably
had in mind the admission NJ Judge Gary
that L. s. Steel was capable Of earning
about s. per ton more than its rivals
under practically identical conditions.
Oils as group were under pressure
despite the fact that Pennsylvania crude

the industry was favorable. Toward the
close the money situation became easier
and call funds closed at 3I2 per cent.

Where's the Hay Fever This Sur.

TINCLE SANS experts in several
- of the bureaus of the Agriculture
department and the bureau of public
health service of the Treasury de-
partment and the various medical bu-
reaus of the War and Navy depart
ments are puzzled over the momentous
question: What has become of the
sneeze artist this summer?
Expert victims of hay fever, who
usually count upon receiving the COM
miseration of friends and relatives
about this time of year, are for some
unaccountable reason pursuing the
even tenor of Their ways without the
aid of battery of handkerchiefs and
'noStrums.
OF course the disappointment is
not hard to bear, but the reason
therefor IS perplexing. The fact re
mains, however, that most of those
who are every summer in the throes
of hay fever and incipient asthma are
strangely free from the universal all
ment.
Many learned authorities have at
tempted to explain the nature of the
singular malady, but your real hay

Has Uncle Forgotten He Bought En-?

no YOU remember that Uncle Sam
purchased of Denmark in 1917
for $25,O0O,000 the Virgin islands, with
an area of 142 square miles and
population of 26,051? Well, if you do,
that's more than Uncle Sam does, ac-
cOrding to the Virgin islanders.
Anyway, a delegation of three from
The Virgin islands called at the White
House recently and arranged for a
conference, at which they hope to get
the attention of this country directed
to the troubles of our newly-acquired
islands. The United States purchased
the islands in order to keep them from
falling into the hands of Germany.
We placed navy officer in charge,
and seem to have all but forgotten the
islanders and their islands. The dele
gates who have come to get hearing
insist that being under the Stars and
Stripes is hardship to them, instead
of privilege.
The original act of purchase pro-
vided that all residents of the islands
would become citizens of the United
States, unless they recorded their wish
to remain Danish subjects. No pro-

47 MINERS MAY BE RESCUED
Families Gather at Mouth of Shaft Re-
fusing to Give Up Hope.

Jackson, Calif-Hope for the rescue
ped since midnight, Sunday, by a fire
in the Argonaut gold mine, was re-
vived when it was announced that
crews digging away tunnel obstruc-
tions between the Kennedy and Argo-
naut mine shafts were making better
progress than expected.
H. M. Wolf1in, superintendent Of
the bureau of safety CT the state in
dustrial accident commission made
this announcement.
The tunnel is 600 feet long and
leads from the $500 foot level of the
Kennedy shaft to point consider
ably below the fire area in the Argo-
naut shaft 1t is filed with soft dirt
from a cavein and there is so feet Of
solid dirt bank at the Argonaut end.
Men attempting in mine 'skips" to
ride down through the flaming levels
were dragged back to the surface.
Their faces blackened, they came to
gasp eagerly for fresh air and to tell
of the hopelessness of the trip below.
Flames which started at the $1,000
foot level had worked up above the
2,400-foot level. A half mile below the
earth's surface men sought to break
through a concrete barrier which long
has sealed the shaft of the Argonaut
from the shaft of the neighboring
mine, the Kennedy.

knowledge of worker from the mine
drifts said: 1.-THE boys can't get

then would take under consideration
the maintenance of a reduction in the
present rates on sugar.
The Mississippi senator then read
from newspaper copy of a document
purporting to reveal an agreement be-
tween certain unnamed senator's and
the sugar interests whereby in lieu of
an increase of four-tenths of l cent
pound in the duty on sugar, as de-
manded by American cane and beet
producers, they were to be paid sub
sidy of 4,339, 1874. According to the
alleged plan, this money was to be
raised by American refiners of Cuban
sugar by arbitrarily adding one-fourth
of l cent to every pound of Cuban
sugar sold in this country.
