Developments

New York, Jan. lit was in the
money and bond markc.s the more in e
hresting developments occurred. while
the stock market there was the same
ionotonous backing and filling. The
one of the general list. however. was
considerably stronger. Prices too were
a measure bit tirmcr. This was
rot because of any great influx Of out
ide buying or change In the market
'osItion, but rather the result of dcS-
'ltory covering on the part of an over
Ntended short interest. Possibly the
ore encouraging as we'll as important
'Hvelopment was In the evidence of the
'mpletton of the liquidnting movement
morally supposed to have been for the
0-called Western account.
In the bond market the Government
issues again assumed prominence with
all the Liberty group except the third
iHs and Victory 3a scoring now high
| records. Further cuts in rpdiscount
rates OF Western regional banks were
believed TO forcshadow further re-
duction in the rediscount rate by the
Eastern regional institutions within a
few days. The call loan renewal rate
was once more fixed at 3i2. but the
abundance of funds and the slnckonCd
demand caused n quick marking down
The liberal supply Of both call and
time funds furnished on almost i'm
movable checkmate to extensive aggrcs-
sions on the part Of the reaCtiOnnry
purity, notwithstanding the majority of
the professional element are openly
bearish in their convictions. On the
other hand. it gave powerful lever 20
the pools and other speculative cliQues,
although the latter showed little will
ingncSs to resume their former aCtivi-

growing number of absNntces among the
influential operators taking their mid

LIONS WN FROM M. w. A.
BY NARROW MARGIN

The Twilight ball game Friday
evening in which the NJ w. A. and
Lions contested for honors, was any
was finally claimed by the latter 81.
The Woodmen batted first and with
walk, an error, and couple of hits
raced four men over the plate. The
Woodmen rooters were enthusiastic
until the Lions had their turn which
evened up the score. Jarvis was
pitching for the Woodmen, but his
arm has habit of going back on him,
and he retired in favor of Volgamore.
Had he had better support the out
come would perhaps have been differ
in the third and got three men more
across the plate, and three hits in the
fourth gave the Lions one more.
For the Woodmen Jarvis hit for
three bases and Williams followed
with single, scoring Jarvis. Moth
ing more was made that inning, but
the Woodmen scored two more in the
fourth, making seven runs.
The battery for the Lions was Shar-
man and Parker, and for the Wood
men Jarvis, Volgamore and Beck.
John Chalmers, left fielder for the
Lions, sprained his ankle, and Holt
gren took his place, while George
Marsh substituted on third.
1t remained for one of the closing
games of the season to give the Elks
their first honor, which they took
Tuesday evening from the American
Legion. the score being 2 to 1. The
Antlered herd certainly came out
with bells on and the vociferous root
ing on the part of their fans, particu-
larly Lloyd Miller, was enough to
spur an iron man to victory.
Sampson did the twirling for the
Elks, striking out four men in five
innings. He was supported by Gus
Rausch as catcher.
Daughenbaugh tossed for the L.
gion and has strikeouts to his credit
for the five innings. Thyret was
catcher
For the first four innings the Elks
held the Legion down so that no man
reached first, but it took four to finish
the fifth and there might have been a
different story hod not Thorp attempt,
ed a steal home with two men down.
Anyway, the Elks have won game.
This evening the Lions and Rotar-
ians will cross bats, and next Tues
day evening the E1ks and Woodmen.

Army, was here distributing the
weeks edition of the War Cry, and
informed this office that the Briga-
der had issued a notice that she is to
be transferred to Oakland, California
and become engaged at rescue work
in a girls home. -
Capt. Schell has qualified for field
work and seems to be able to handle
it mighty well, and the new work
would probably not be suitable to her
line Of training.
Moreover, it seems to US that. re-

the Montrose and Delta people want
