RECOVERY IS MADE
IN FOREIGN BONDS
" =.
French Issues at Higher
Prices-Libertys Are.
/. Also Stronger.
BY GEORGE Il. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 23.-Recovery
in foreign bonds, especially the French
issues, and higher prices for United
States government loans were the
features of today's bond market.
Aside from the higher quotations
for franc exchange there seems to be
no particular reason in the news why
French bonds should advance. It Is
nevertheless true that both the gov
ernment and provincial issues showed
a distinctly better tone. AS has been
repeatedly pointed out in these dis
patches any approach to solution of
the reparattonS problem could not
have an immediate effect on the mar
ket price of French securities. De-
partment of the Seine Is were prom
inent among the issues to show gains
today.
General List Same.
In the general list conditions were
about the same as for the past week.
Any large order to sell could not sbe
executed except at a concession from
Ohio 5s suffered in this way today
and there was no reason either In
general railroad conditions or to
those affecting this particular road
TO account for the weakness. 1t was
simply there was a lack of buying
power for seasoned issues, probably
due to the demand upon the market
from the new offerings since the frst
of the year 1t looks now as though
the investment banking fraternity
had decided to give the market a
much rest.
There were few features of spe-
ciai interest. Mexican government 5s
advanced on the news that the MeXi-
can government had deposited funds
April l. American Agricultural Chemi
cal 7les made a new high on this
move. Here the influence doubtless
was not only the high current return
at the market, but the increasingly
favorable outlook for the fertilizer
companies.

LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

Very bad" was the report Of the
condition of the pork market this
morning. Receipts were heavy and
demands light. Prices were low. II
is believed the market will get
stronger as soon as buyers recover
from the effects of the Christmas
holiday season.
Beef prices have undergone no
change the past few days. Large
shipments are being received, but the
demand is only fair. The market is
quiet.
Both the butter and egg market
were holding firm today. Butter
prices remained the same. while a
slight advance i'll egg prices was
noted.

BUNCO MAN GIVEN
TERM IN PRISON
Fourteen of Notorious Ring Have
Been Apprehended and Sent to
Pen by Atlanta Prosecutor

tia a July 25-As a result
OF Solicitor General John A. Boykin
raids of 1921, fourteen men have been
apprehended and sent to the PENN
ltiary to date. The fourteenth man
heard his fate here a few days, ago.
He is Fuller Scarborough, member
of widely known Georgia family and
former associate of the late Jacknife'
O'Brien, alleged 'spieler' in Floyd
Woodward's get-rich-quick schemes.
Uunder the name of Jack Adams,
the alias he is alleged to have used
during his short-lived career with the
Woodward organization. Scarborough
went before Judge Samuel H. Sibley
in United States district court and en-
tered a plea of guilty to an indictment
charging that he used the mails in the
turtherance of fraudulent scheme.
Juduge Sbley sentenced him to the
federal penintentiary for one year and
a day alter in the day he appeared in
Fulton superior court and admitted
his guilt in a state case He was fined
$500 and given twelve months SEN
tencc which was later suspended
Both cases were the outgrowth Of
the fleeing of L. NJ Tidball of Lin
coin, Ncb., who claimed to have To-
$4,000 in confidence game in =
which, it Is claimed, Scarborough
"steered' him.
Scarborough was arrested several
weeks ago in Chicago and brought to
Atlanta. He is said to have been one
of the newest members of the conf
dkncc ring when it was disorganized
in the fall If 1872 after s. les of down
town raids directed by Solicitor Gen
eral' Boykin.
"Jacknife' O'Bricn, under whose
supervision Scarborough is alleged to
have worked in the Tidball swindle
was regarded as one of the ablest OF
Woodwarls lieutenants.
In his hurry to evalc the net OF Sole
itor Boykin's men, O'Brien left Allan
ia in an automobile, motoring to Sa-
vannah in the rain, and it is believed
it was from the exposure to the at
mosphere on the night of his escape
that he contracted pneumonia, from
which he diel several lays later in {

For with certain. additions and inter

family is opposed in the plot to a NEAR

hcaped upon the smithy and his family
but they bear up bravely and in tn

NEW YORK, July 70 Their,
has been "a big revival of interest O,
late in the telling of fortunes. The
study of spiritism which has swep,
like a tidal wave over Europe, the
British Isles and this country during
the past year, has been in the main
responsible for this desire to look into
1.-THE future. Many seriously wish to
see what the morrow has in store for
them. A still greater majority desire
their fortunes told through some
medium or other just for the fun of
the thing. Travellers on railroads and
ocean steamships are finding fortune
telling by cards very pleasing diver
sion.
On the passenger steamships of the
United States Lines card Reading"
is very popular this season. The lure
OF a smooth sea and the soft glow of
an evening moon combine to call up
that spirit of romance which makes
nearly everyone want to see what lies
ahead, in business, in love and in
general happiness.
A young woman passenger On thA
President Fillmore, on a recent trim
from New York to Bremen, showed
such skill in fortune telling with cards
that she was called upon constantly
to read fortunes. She was asked to
take part in the Ships Concert, at
which those with ability as singers.
musicians, dancers, etc, are invited to
participate, and was the hit Of the
evening.
The next day she was requested to
tell a great number of fortunes {"
Knowing that the proceeds from the
concert went to charities, principally,
those devoted to caring for injured
seamen,' or the widows and orphans
OF sailors, this Miss hit upon plan
to aid in charging the President Fill

In the latter half of the picture, when
the heavy melodrama comes in. there
isn't much to suggest Longfellow's
