developed into good trout or salmon
waters, as ordinarily the bass have q
tendency 10 drive out the other fish.
Bass applications are approved, how
ever, for lakes that cannot be de-
veloped into good trout or salmon
waters and are not connected with
such waters.
OF course. with such large bodies Of
water like Belgrade Lakes, Lake
Penneseewassee or Lake kezar. for
instance, the presence Of bass does
not seem to be a detriment to trout
or salmon, but, in smaller ponds. as
above suggested, the situation seems
10 be otherwise.
In this connection The department
calls attention 10 the Maine Law
which prohibits the introduction of
fish without q permit. Section so OF
the Inland Fish and Game Laws.
Section 80. Whoever introduces
fish OF any kind into any OF the wa
tiers Of the State by means OF live fish
or otherwise except upon written per-
mission of the commissioner of in
land fisheries and game. shall pay a
fine Of not less than fifty, nor more
than five hundred dollars"
Other states where trout abound
have been considering the same sit
uation outlined above, and in this
connection a recent statement in
publication issued by the California
Fish and Game Department will be of
interest:
BLACK Bass Endanger Trout Angling
Numerous factors are concerned in
the depletion to be noted in many
streams where angling is now on the
decline. Sportsmen are naturally dis
t.,
stead OF attempting to improve the
trout fishing by some sane conserva-
ton measures. as. for instance, in
creased protection for spawning
steelhead, they Immediately demand
the introduction Of some other fish,
failing TO realize that there is no
fresh water fishing so attractive TO
the majority as Is trout fishing. The
usual demand is for the planting of
black bass. Nothing Injuries trout
fishing more unless perhaps the in
PRODUCTION of so predatory a fish as
the gar pike. In every instance in
California where black bass have
been introduced into a lake where
trout angling was formerly enjoyed.
there has been a rapid disappearance
of the trout. Whereas there is nearly
always a chance 10 capture at least
lew trout In trout waters. the black
bass is not so dependahle-biting
we'll on certain days and refusing alb
solutely to take the anglers bait on
other days.
a warning IS here issued to every
angler in the state regarding this
popular demand Save all trout
streams and lakes for trout fishing.
since this is the most popular tyne of
angling. Plant reservoirs which do
not contain trout with bass. thus
supplying an additional resource
rather than supplanting one"

of interest while other types of
securities are also afield by con.
ditions peculiar to the particular in:
dustry or particular issuing corpo.
ration. The latter are also influ.
enced more readily by general
movements in business activity
Broad Market.
No other security has acquired
SO broad market as government
obligations. They are familiar to
practically every home in the coun-
try and there is hardly a village
or hamlet in which a ready pur-
chaser cannot be found. A large
proportion of the daily transactions
on the security markets are in gov.
eminent bonds and the facilities for
buying and selling these obligations
are readily available to everyone
through brokers, bankers and other
dealers.
Because of this high degree of
marketability there is no better in
vestment for temporary funds
which may be needed on short no.
tice. 1t sometimes happens that
high grade investments from the
viewpoint of safety are not avail
able to certain types of investors
because Of the fear of progress to
sacrifice them to meet contingencies
which may arise. Funds invested
in government obligations. however.
are just as available as if placed
on deposit on demand.
Future Favorable ~
The future Of the long term gov
eminent bonds now outstanding an.
pears to me to be particularly favor.
able. AS compared to pre.war con-
ditions the present rates are un-
usually high and as capital accumu.
lates throughout the world with
the passing Of time interest rates
must necessarily settle to lower
levels. Consequently the prices of
Government bonds and other fixed
interest bearing obligations will rise
proportionately At the same time
the gradual retirement Of the public
debt will be an added factor in the
price Of Government bonds. They
will gradually acquire a certain
scarcity value which they do not
now possess. BY 1910, for example.
under the present program, the
public debt will have been cut in
half.

BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, April 24.-There was
a halt In the downward price move
ment in raw sugar this week, due
in large part to further indications
of European buying. Refiners who
had marked down prices of refined
sugars to cents a pound, added 10
or 25 points to the market price
on Wednesday at which rate they
reported refined sugars moving sat
isfactorily to market.
Most of the large local sugar
firms have been large buyers in the
raw sugar market at the prevailing
price of ass cents in Cuba, equiva-
lent to 6.28 cents a pound, freight
and duty paid. The local market is
strong and fairly active.
Renewed buying, believed to be
for the account Of the local trade,
stfffened the coffee and tea markets
this week, and prices showed a
firmer tendency than in the pre-
vious week. Reports from the spot
coffee market were encouraging to
the trade, as indicating an increas.
ing demand from consumers and
distributors. The tea Anarket is
awaiting the stimulus Of more IA.
