NEW YORK, July 19.-With
transactions on a larger scale than
have been witnessed. Of late, stocks
moved to higher levels in the first
two hours trading on the stock
exchange today. Buying was by
no means aggressive, and not every
section Of the list shared in the up
ward movement, but signs were &C.
cumulatfng that the market was
ready to respond to favorable
rather than to unfavorable sdevel-
opments in the situation both here
and abroad.
Sentiment in commission house
circles was much more cheerful,
judged by the optimistic tenor of
market letters sent out by brokers.
However, it could plainly be seen
that public interest was still prac-
tically nil and the main buying
power came from bear spectators,
wishing to close their commitments.
Excellent buying Of copper stocks
was. the feature of the early deal.
tngS. Inasmuch as no short in.
terest OF importance was built UP
in this group, the strength in
Anaconda, Kennecott and .Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining substan-
ttated the belief that the copper
industry is on the upgrade again.

for the purpose Of moving it's grain

Krassin declares that Soviet TITS

Federal Government and the State,
the total appropriation amounting to
about $4,000. The roads designated
are the Sharpsburg pike, IL miles;
townsville pike, 10 miles; Cearfoss

miles; Leitersburg pike, 9 miles, or a
total Of Al miles.
The Board has just received a letter
from John N. Mackall, chairman of
the State Roads Commission, confirm
ing the fact that $350,79s.15 is avail
able for road work in Washington
county this year. The United States
or post roads fund amounts to $114,-
1874 for 1922 and $71,615 for 1928
The lateral road fund for this year
for the county is given as $4,000. The
county will get last years road money

experts as the best in Maryland.
Two hundred and eighty-nine miles
of State roads in Maryland will be
oiled this year, according to the pro-
gram of the State Roads Commission
and about $4,000 gallons Of material
will be required for the process. Con-
tracts for the oil have recently been
let.
John N. Mackall, chairman Of the
Roads Commission, expects that the
oiling program will be completed this
year by July /, or thereabouts. The
last two years the work has been com.
pleted about the middle Of August
and before then oiling was practically
an-all-the-year-round process.
A method Of oiling practiced by the
Roads Commission the last two years
seems to have proved satisfactory tc
motorists, Mr.. Mackall says. Only
one-half Of a road is oiled at time
the other half being open to traffic.
AS soon as one-half of the road is
oiled, the stone chips spread Thereon
are rolled and so crushed down int
the road surface that the passing o.

ly, a fusillade of small stones agains
the tenders and occasionally agains'
the windshield of the vehicle.
As rule, Maryland State roads arr
now oiled about once in three years
though some stretches of highway arr
oiled every two years.
Among the important highways tx
he oiled this year are the Annapolis
boulevard, Belair road road, from Bel
air to Havre de Grace; the road from
Washington to Rockville; the roas
Westminster to West Friendship
via Eldersburg; Emmitsburg to Fred
erick; National pike, from Pike Heat
to Hancock; National pike, from Lis
bon to Newmarket. Very little oiline
will be done on the Eastern Shore this
year.

Bad SbOtS in a GOOd9ROad

Unless the city desires to face some serious damage suits it
Mill take steps to put the short stretch connecting the new
pavement on Amboy avenue with the old in passable condition.
1T is only a hundred to one hundred and fifty feet long, but it is
long enough to break springs and do other damage no matter how
Slowly one drives across it.
Whatever is done must necessarily be temporary as the new
road will be completed in the spring, no doubt, but there are several
months yet of heavy travel and this patch cannot be neglected
Under ordinary circumstances cinders might be sufficient, but the
heavy trucks that use this road constantly soon gouge out the
holes and conditions are as bad as ever. If some kind Of a loose
stone foundation could be put there and covered over with a
smooth, hard surface it might be possible to get by the winter,
although even such a pavement would not last very long. However,
something will have to be done if Amboy avenue is to be kept
open.
The work being done on Amboy avenue between Brace and
\ Hall avenues is commendabe. This trouble was caused by the
81ettling of the pavement after the new water main was laid through
N 1ere. 1t was a case Of the street department waiting for the water
department., and the water department having a great many other
Kings to attend to, so that conditions were allowed to so from bad
/ D worse. Permanent repairs are being made now, however, and
ryboy avenue viii soon be in good shape all the way through to
II knd Of the new pavement where it is necessary to cross over to
Bid. 1t seems a pity to have to waste money on this temporary
away, but it has got to be done if traffic is to be maintained.
