NEW LOWS FOR BONDS
Three L. $. Issues Go Down; More
Rails Appear For Sale.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, March 2O.--New lows
for the year were made by at least
three issues of United States govern
ment bonds in today's market. The
Treasury 4 lis equalled their low
for the year.
II is true that the decline necessary
to this result was not large. but they
showed that even Liberty bonds are
not immune TO the same influences
that govern other high grade securi-
ties in this market. 1t is also true
that declines which seem important
10 bond traders seem trivial to bona
fide investors.
For instance. traders were much
impressed by today's reaction in New
York Central is. which carried them
down below their previous low for the
year. This is. of course, a very high
grade bond and the loss of n half
point is comparatively large, but, on
the other hand. at today's price. the
yield is only SO per cent and most
investors are looking for ) ~. When
that point is reached. support is
usually Forthcoming.
More large blocks Of first grade
rails were reported for sale today.
The course of the market can be
illustrated by Atchison General As.
which gained IS of a point early in
the day and then lost it all when a
block of S2J.OOO was offered.

way. by agents along the lines. At
most places along the lines, he said,
no damage was done at all. and only
at one or two places was the damage
serious,
Beeville reports that as far as can
be determined no damage has been
done to the fruit crop there. At Skid
more the temperature dropped below
freezing. but only the young crop
was slightly damaged. At Alice, while
the temperature dropped below freez-
ing, no damage is evident. The low
est temperature registered at Falfur-
rias was 40 degrees, and no damage
was done.
The worst damage was done AT
Arkansas Pass, according to reports.
Monday morning the temperature
went to 80 degrees and everything
not covered was killed. IL is estimat-
ed that % per cent of the grapes
were killed. 1t is evident from the re-
ports. Mr.. Madison said. that the kill
ing frosts came only in the low
places. Beeville and Skidmore. he
said. are approximately 100 miles
further north than Corpus Christi and
Arkansas Pass and the latter places
were the worst hit. At Fremont there
was no frost and the crop was not
damaged. This place, he said, is slight
ly elevated above the surrounding
country and killing frosts are almost
unknown there.
During the sleet in February, he
said. the ony fruit trees in the vicin-
ity of Beeville that were damaged
were those in the low places. He is
of the opinion that farmers will profit
by this experience and in future Sc
lect the high places to. plant their
orchards and gardens.

New York. March 20.--A branch Of
the Fascist of Italy. called the
Fascist of North America. was
founded in this country two years ago
and now has 10000 members in

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

Tie opposing tendencies 50 long
noted between the investment and
speculative market was once more
strikingly exhibited today. 4 large
number Of individual stocks were bid
up with the same ccse that has charac-
tcrized these operations for the last
two months.
Bonds OF the strictly investment
rank. however, continued to sag. The
most impressive feature was the
weakness In the United States gov
eminent group. The Liberty 3 lbs
and 4th 1-4S both made new lows for
the year and the new Treasury 4 las
equallcd their previous low.
The downward movement in govern
ment issues is a recognition that this
section of the market must adjust its
yields 10 correspond with the higher
rates which the treasury is paying
on its short term paper, but what is
true oil the government group applies
equally TO all other high grade bonds.
Their drift is governed by the course
of money rates and the investment
market foresees the ways things are
going now in business and in specula-
ton. gradual hardening on the
money market.
Conservative people. having in mind
the S!uts Motors corner of three years
ago and its disastrous consequences,
did not fancy what looked TO he a
similar operation in the Piggy
Wiggly shares.
But the speculative element which
pever looks beyond the immediate
future and cares little about ultimate
results, was not disturbed. 1t could
still point out that it was many
months after the Stutz episode before
the penalty was paid.
Taking up the steel shares was q
logical procedure from two points OF
view. In the first place 1t was dis
counting the mid-week trade reports
which are expected TO be the most
favorable of any so far put out. N
the second place, it was recognizing
the fact that considering the character
of the trade news. the steel grour
was behind the rest of the industrial
share market.

UvaIde Honey Crop Short.

UyaIde, Tex. March 2O.--Serious
losses in bees have been reported in
this section of the country within the
past few weeks. In the territory west
from Sabinal and also north and
south of Uvalde, the losses have been
greatest" Owing TO rains in the Bates
willie and Crystal City sections. the
loss in that territory was not so
great. According 10 an estimate made
by local dealer in bee supplies. the
losses in many apiaries will reach
as high as GO per cent. This loss
is due to the prolonged dry spell last
fall and winter giving the bees no
opportunity to build up their winter
quarters. w. o. Victor. prominent
bee man here, is arranging to ship
in about 1000 pounds of bees. TO be
used TO replenish run down colonies.
The prospects are that the honey
crop will be very short this season,
but it will be of very fine flavor.

FIRE In CREAMERY
Electric Wiring Thought To Have
Caused Blaze.

The Garden Creamery, 11I North
street. was threatened by fire, which
broke out at II 10 Tuesday morning.
Damage was about S400 or $500.
The creamery is conducted by Mrs.
X. s. Springer.
The fire. seemingly, was caused by
electric wiring. 1t is said no fire had
been in the place during the day. The
blaze was centered between the ceiling
and the roof. In checking the fire
il became necessary 10 rip away a
large section OF the ceiling. Water
used in extinguishing the flames soak
ed the machinery. .
Damage estimated at 5000 resulted
from fire of undetermined origin,
which broke out in barn in the rear
of a dwelling at 100 Main avenue.
at 3:45 Monday afternoon. The
property is owned by Mrs. Riley, at
present in Battle Creek, Mich.

New York. March 2O.-Following
the familiar practice that has charae-
terized this seasons campaign in the
stock exchange, stocks which were in
the lead Monday dropped behind to-
day while the btiying shifted into new
.favoriteS. This meant the bringing
up of stocks which had been doing
little for several days. while the
motors, equipments and sugars were
for the most part allowed TO sag.
The dny began with vigo?ous up
bidding Of some of the oil shares. Mar
land. Phillips Petroleum and Pro-
ducers & RefinerS. But that these
operations were being overdone was
indicated by the way in which these
stocks came down, in the later trad
ing.
In connection with the strength in
Wabash \. the street had in mind a
deal for that road similar to the series
OF deals which have brought under
control the Nickel Plate. the Toledo
vt. Louis and Southwestern. the Lake
Erie and Western. and more recent
ly the Chesapeake & Ohio.
The buying in the Wnbashes
brought more activity into other low
priced rails Of the type OF the Rock

Chicago, March 2O.-Receipts Of
livestock were about normal at the
local yards today, but totals fell far
short of the run on hand the two first
days last week. After a strong and
higher market for all kinds Of. sioux
the opening session, sellers again asked
better values today. Improved weather
conditions were reflected in better
train service and nearly all the. re-
ported cars were in at the opening of
the trade. Sellers had only q little
more than 1000 hogs held over from
the day before and prices were higher
from the start.
Receipts were 1900 cattle: $4,000
hogs 5000 sheep; 5000 calves.
Sellers were notable to prevent a
decline in values for steers. but
butcher stock sold fairly well at I'M
changed prices. Some steers showed
a drop Of as much as % cents, but the
market was uneven, with some deals
about steady. Choice animals, at $40
m 1925 were. 10 a 10 cents off.
Bulk of beef steers sold at $S.25 a
$50. Cows and heifers were picked UP
well, while Gamers and bulls also held
steady compared with the average Of
the day before. Demand for calves
was fairly active, and with good quat-
ity, the trade was mostly % cents
higher.
1t was a little late before sellers
were able to send much stock to. the
scales. but butcher hogs sold higher
from the start. Manysdeals were more
than a dime above the levels noted in
the previous session with choice light
stock at $3.50 a 500. This was the
weeks high point and also somewhat
better than Mt the best time last week
when top hogs made SSS5. The trade
was weak late in the session and $685.
stopped the best on hand. while rough
packing hogs went at S725 al $50.
Lambs were mostly 10 a % cents
higher. Choice Mexican stock sold to
packers at S15.35. while wool animals
at So showed the full advance. Most
shorn lambs went at SIC a 1850. 4
