Western Story in
Films at Majestic
Theatre Next Week

@The Moonshine Menace" start
ing Sunday at the Majestic theatre,
is series of exciting western in
cidents well knit together into a
terse, cohesive plot. It is the story
of a young mountaineer whose love
for his own people takes him back
to them with devotion and helpful
ness in the name of the law, a mo-
tive, however, which they thorough
ly misinterpret. Not having out
grown their moonshining proclivi-
ties, Bonbright's people do not APP
preciate that there were cases
where justice might act in their
favor. Not SO with Judith. The
woman's intuition gives the new
conner his rightful place, while her
cousins are declaring he has re-
turned to Turkey Tracks" to spy
upon them. Then love enters in
and makes the girl extremely alert
to all that is brewing around her
and there is more than moonshine,
for her cousins have determined to
run the young justice of the peace
out of town, or worse. Judith's
cousin, "Blatch," in love with her,
therefore has double reason for
hating Bonbright- He is the ring
leader of the family and the
schemes which were Matched and
foiled keep the audience at high
tension through five fast-moving
acts.
Helen Holmes, a unique figure in
moving picture circles, and Leo D.
Maloney carry the leading roles.
They have the strongest kind of
support from Paul C. Hurst. whose
name is we'll known to the fans;
as is also true of William Brunton
and Thomas j. Lingham. The
screen story is an adaptation of the
famous novel by Alice MACEDONIAN
entitled Judith of the Cumber-
lands" and was directed. by ]. P.
MCGOWAN, famous for his action

Call Money Firm.

payment of s30,00o,000 on Friday and

ment fell short by $5,00o,OO0 and the
call money market yesterday had to
Withstand the payment of s5o.Oo0,0 600
for the bonds.
The result was a rise in call money
from a renewal and minimum OF per
cent. to a maximum of per cent. There
are no Government deposit Withdrawals
to-day, and it Is possible that lower
rates win return. as 1t was recognized
that the factor was temporary devel-
opment. The fact that the departure
from the call loan market of $4,000, 900
could cause so sharp a rise in call money
attested the narrow balance between
supply and demand. Some all Industrial
time money loans were made at per
cent but the aggregate was so small as
to cause the market to be described as
largely nominal"

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Allied Exchange strong.

Under the leadership of sterling,
which threatened TO touch s4.4O a
pound. but which actually advanced to
a fraction above s43s, strong demand
for French francs and lire developed
yesterday. All three made new highs
for this year, sterling being at its high
est since July, 1919. and the movement
was ascribed To strength in London.
In a sympathetic move Canadian ex-
change made a new high of as per
cent. discount, the highest in more than
two years. As marks and the krone
of Norway and Sweden lost ground,
there was some thought that the Ger
mans again were accommodating funds
for reparations payments, drawing
from countries in which they have
