Bond Market

New York, April 1s.-What re-
action occurred In the bond marAee
today was confined chiefly TO .he
United States government issues
which declined again under pres

quarters OF the list there were iur-
Their signs of irregularity but no
decided weakness and the tradlne
continued on a large scale. Inc

ternaI bonds was about unchangeo-
French SIS at one time were up al
most a point from their close past
night but the French municpalss
eased off slightly. Berne IS anu

selling in the last nomed accom-
panied the offering today by New
York bankers OF another issue OF .
per cent external sinking fund gold
bonds. The offering price was
S3h. the level which the initial
loan sought. The new flotat'on
amounted to $4,000, 900 and COM
pletes an authorized total OF saw
100000 of the Paris Lyons ana
Mediterranean borrowed within the
last few weeks.
Public Utility bonds were gener-
ally strong among the issues. the
feature of this group were the
Consolidated Gas rs. They rose
about points above yesterday s
final price and were up over s.A
points so far this week. TINS
strength was sympathetic with the
rise in Consolidated Gas stock ana
was based upon the possibility OF
a stock dividend as the result OF
distribution of the impounded
sum released by the favorable SD
preme court decree. The susar
bonds were firm, with particular
demand for South Porto Rico sugar

most a pint, led the bonds or the

issues were active at top prices.
In the railway section, New YORK

was in the speculative members OF
this group that most of the activity
occurred. And there were several
instances of lower prices such as
in the Seaboard Airline bonds, the
Katy issues and the st. Louis and
San Francisco mortgages. Sea-
board adjustments declined over
three points. Greater New York
fractions advanced fractionally,

DruGoods Market
BY STUART II. NES7
Copyright. 1Y22.J

New York, April 19-Broader
buying continued in evidence in the
dry goods market today with print
cloths leading and the price tone
strong. Mills were extremely loalh
to contract for future deliveries
and the price trend for the later
months was up. Sheetings also
were in good demand with in
creased volume of sales. Bag con-
Germs are coming more freely into
the market and there was indica-
ton OF improved inquiry for brown
sheetings from the jobbing trade.
Fine yarn goods sold better but
tire fabrics were not active.
Trading in raw silk was slow IL
this market, rejecting the uncer-
tainty in trends of Yokohoma trade,
and Canton. Sellers seemed a
trifie more ready to meet the views
Of buyers. In finished goods rib
bons showed improvement.
WOOL.
Boston, April 19.-The wool mar
ket is rejecting the improved SEN
timent in the wooden goods and
clothing trades and showed great
er activity today wit ha firm under
tone. The volume of business
transacted was not very large and
wooden mills have not returned TO
the market in force. The belief in
the firmness of raw wool prices is
being shown by farmers in several
sections who have determined to
market all 1922 wool instead of hav-
ing a portion manufactured into
goods for their own use as many
did last year. The foreign markets
maintained their strength.

PURLIC NOTICE,

PUBLIC NOTICE.
I will not be responsible for any
debts contracted by any one except
myself. EDWARD l.. kERLER-

Imperial Valley press., 1922-02-02

government which has caused the
destruction of many offshoots by CIV
ing instructions that when followed
they killed 95 per cent Of plants. He
has set 100 plants out in his own
gardens this winter and none have
died SO far; 90 per cent of them are
4beYon6 the danger point and will
grow.
Mr.. Paul claims that monopoly on
the importation of Deglet Nors has
been formed by Gillette and Rosen-
berg which will make the price pro-
hibitive for 20 years, unless other va
trieties are imported from Northern
Africa for planting in American
gardens. The speaker has made a
thorough study of the importation of
stock, and seemed to know what he
was talking about. He claimed that
the soft dates are marketable; that
they are rich in sugar content, and
that they can be grown in Imperial
valley with profit.
Robbins Russell, manager of the
Coachella Packing association stated
that his company has surveyed the
markets and through personal repre-
sentation has sent dates of all varie-
ties grown in the section to eastern
buyers. The product was equally
well received what ever the variety
shown. The main thing is to increase
the output SO that the fruit can be
packed in quantities sufficient to
make it profitable to the grower and
danger Of over-production with the
acreage for growing SO limited. He
says that his company has learned to
process the fruit and are studying the
market. 1t is his belief that the Amer
lean date will eventually drive the
imported product from the home mar
ket. 1t is all matter of choice as
to the variety grown. All are good
and the growers and packers have no
quarrel with the Bureau of Plant In
dutsry insofar as the quality and fla
vor of the varieties, they endorse is
concerned. 1t is only that they be-
lieve great injustice has been done
10 the industry by arbitrary and un-
scientific rulings, and by attempting
to limit the kinds to be planted.
| All of the speakers are of the opir-
ion that the date industry can be pro-
fitably followed in Imperial valley as
lit has been in Coachella.
Bruce Drummond will speak from
the viewpoint of the government at
the luncheon next Wednesday,. Mr..
Judy stated that when both sides have
been heard, the board Of directors
will probably take official action. He
suggested that the board Of directors
go to Coachella and see for themselves
just what has been accomplished.
The meeting was we'll attended, a
number of ranchers being present.
