VAST WEALTH FOUND

Many Cases Of Liquor Brought
from Watery Graves at
Los Angeles.
by International News Service.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July s. -
A yeritable gold mine lies on the
floor Of Los Angeles harbor.
At least that Is the belief of sea
men. who say the local port is COW
cred with cases of whiskey, gold
plates. machinery and other valuable
articles.
J. w. Ludlow. assistant harbor en-.
gineer, said recently that dredges
have picked up six cases of liquor
within the last two months ana ap-
parently have only tapped the rich
vein. II is believed that countless
cases of spirits have been neaved
overheard by persons on incoming
vessels who feared discovery at the
hands Of port authorities.
Proprietors of launches are au-
thority for the statement that In
some instances floats Were at
tached to the cases to facilitate the
finding and recovery of the treasure
by persons "in" on the secret and
working with persons on the ships.
Diver Fred Henderson reported
that while he was walking on the
bottom OF the harbor he came upon
a new motorcycle. equipped with all
modern appliances. Unable TO find
the owner Of the machine he took

Persons working on dredges say
they have picked up many valuable
anchors and implements.
One diver reported that he found

Market Review and Outlook.

Money. conditions continue reassur'
ing. Now that the first Of the month
requirements are well disposed of, q
large volume of dividend disburse-
ments has gone into the hands Of
Investors and will form the basis Of
fresh demand for investment securi-
ties.
Owing to practical failure Of the
railroad strike, the stock market has
recovered from holiday lethargy,
more promptly than Anticipated.
Many of the leading railroad shares
have shown striking advances, and
the buying has been Of a strong,
though speculative nature. [ For
some time past there has been q
growing opinion that the railroads
were about to get their long delayed
share Of prosperity. During the war
they suffered more than any other
division OF the security market and
profited less. Operating, conditions
have lately much ifnpfoved. Car
loadings for week ending June ~
were S77,S00 cars, an increase of
1900 over the previous week and
102 900 more than q year ago. While
the roads are facing lower rates. the
latter should be offset by expansion
OF traffic and the forthcoming read
justment of wages. justified by the
fact that railroad workers have since
the war enjoyed relatively higher
wages than any other class of labor.
Speculation In oils has settled down
to less Sensational proportions: and
attention IL now being diverted to
the better class Of industrials and
railroads. which are expected to be
the first to, benefit from trade ex.
pensions. A factor Of further en-
couragement is the easier condition
Of the money market, now hat the
Withdrawals for July disbursements
are returning. Temporary setbacks
are not unlikely. due to the desire TO
take profits, but the outlook IL for q
stronger market In the long run.
The Washington times., 1922-07-09
The Advance I'm Prices.

One of the striking things men,
toned by the board, and confirmed
by various other business reporting
agencies during the past day or two.
is the decisive advance In prices. The
average level Of wholesale commod-
ity prices is now up fully 10 points
since the first Of May. after q period
of fully eight months during which
there was little or no change In the
average level. One effect OF this
noteworthy advance In prices has
been greatly to stimulate many
classes OF business. The most far'
sighted operators are OF the opinion
that business requirements must be
contracted for in advance very
shortly II the various lines OF trade
are not to find themselves confront
ed with losses due to price increases
resulting from the general upward
movement, which they must cover
In order to safeguard themselves
against loss due to increased ex-
pense of protecting their contracts.
The price advance is not confined 10
the United States. but appears to be
developing In other countries as
well. Experience shows that such
movements in commodities usually
operate to advance levels of security
values, SO that the increase In COM
modify prices toward the further
raising OF stockmarket activity. The
most notable increases In prices
have been in steel and iron building
materials, agricultural products, and
a variety of other allied lines.

There have been no new important
ideveiopments In. the domestic money

The July number Of the Canadian
magazine takes up this same sub
ject from a different viewpoint.
In many respects Canada today

was in 1920. She has about the
same population and wide expanses
Of undug minerals and unused soil.
II She grows, as Sir George Foster
suggests, she will have 25.000, 900
people In 1850. some 50.000.000 In
1880 and so on.
Canada has been our second best
customer in world trade for many
years. Only Great Britain bought
more of our goods.
Canadian Trade Important.
Our business with Canada is more
important to us that our business
with Italy and France combined, as
important as our total business with
South America. almost as important
as our whole commerce with Asia.
What of Il? Simply that II is bus

carefully and especially when that
customer is likely to become far
better customer, Canada Is such a
customer. Yet, by some strange
fatality. she seems to be condemned
to the neglect that falls to the lot I.
q next door neighbor. y
She is treated better than Mexi, .
for obvious reasons. but in general
the eyes Of Washington are fixed
on things far away and neither
neighbor, to the north or the south
is 80 much considered as some
land 5000 miles across the water.
Such trade and business policies
are shortsighted. How long would
Germany have prospered IL she had
made tariffs and handled foreign
trade without regard to German
speaking Austria, just across her
border? How can we fulfill either
our business orr political destiny
on this continent II we treat Eng
disappearing Canada no better than
we treat a poor customer in South
Africa or Central Europe.
Tariff Debate.
These questions are provoked by
the present tariff debate in Con-
gress and what promises to come
of IL. In reading the reams on
reams Of tariff speeches one feels
that the chief purpose Of the tariff
makers Is to meet conditions in
Central Europe. to keep out the
products OF the German worker
with his wages Of five cents an
hour and to protect the products
OF the American worker with his
wages Of sixty or seventy cents an
hour. The same purpose applies
also to the Italian and Czechoslo-
vakian products and workers.
Well and good But why, because
unusual conditions must be met in
Europe. should we turn on our
neighbors in North America, where
the conditions are not unusual and
where we certainly should not be
killing business, but cultivating Il

Twenty.six uniform acts have been drafted and approved by the conference as cov- ering the subjects which the commis- sioners believe should be handled by the state legislatures and in such a manner as to give general uniformity between the various commonwealths.

Superior Court Renders Decision on Charges Of Liigi Vassallo, Who AL lcges Seduction.

The demurrer filed in superior court yesterday by Raffaele Giannin. of Newington, was upheld by Judge Kellogg. The demurrer was entered against the charge of seduction made by Luigi Nassallo, who charges breach of promise and indecent assault also. The charge of seduction was brought by FiIomna Nassallo, guardian and friend of Luigi. The ruling was that the guardian has no legal right to sue because the plaintiff has a father liv- ing,
 The charge of indecent assault, ac- cordlng to the court, should be made the basis of a separate charge. In granting the demurrer the court quot ed a decision which says. "A sedueed female is not allowed 10 bring suit in her own name because she is a particips criminis and cannot be heard in her complaints in court"
