w.. B. & A. BONDS ACTIVE
Buying Orders Increase Following
Company's Annual Report.

BALTIMORE, April tSpeciaD.- -
The sudden squirt of activity in the
per cent bonds of the Washington.
Baltimore and Annapolis electric
railway is attracting much attention
In the financial district. These bonds
sold at 20 on the Baltimore Stock
Exchange yesterday A few weeks
ago sales were made on the exchange
as low as IS. and it is reported tina t
transactions were made without rec
ord at 67la.
Buying orders came into the
market in fair volume on Wednes-
day following the publication of the
annual report, ard have steadily in
creased in size since then. Prac-
count, while the bulk of the selling
is said to come from Cleveland.
Though the report of operations of
the company for 1923 was far from
favorable. it was much better than
some persons had expected and the
impression it created is believed to
have stimulated demand for the
bonds
There have been several attempts
during the last two years to work up
interest in these bonds, all of which
proved failures. The lack of sue
cess. it is id, was due to the fact
that every time a buying movement
started here the bonds were freely
supplied by Cleveland, with the re-
Suit that enthusiasm was quickly
dampened.

2-YEAR RAIL STRIKE
DROPPED BY UNION
Boston and Maine Shop Crafts
Workers Unable to Finance
Further Struggle.
By the Assoc lated Press.

BOSTON, April 5.-The strike of six
the Boston and Maine railroad. which
began July l, 1922, has been called off
by the union of the federated crafts.
effective April :. it became known
last night. Financial inability to pro-
long the struggle further was given
as the reason for the unions action.
Less than month ago the members
of the crafts on strike rejected by a
10-to-l vote an offer made by the rail-
road company for their return to
work. When the result of this vote
was announced March II union heads
said that more than four thousand
ballots had been cast in the referen-
dunn.
The company's offer. it was said,
called for the employment of men
satisfactory to the railroad and re-
inStatement of the men chosen would
be according TO seniority. Union Of
ficialS said the large vote against the
offer was due to the fact that it was
oral and because it did not guarantee
the unemployment of any large num-
ber of men.
Action to end the strike was taken
at an executive meeting several days
proximately 5000 union shop mechan-
les on the Boston and Maine system
advising the men desirous of re-em-
ployment to apply to the railroad ex-
ecutives.
1t also urges "for the best interests
the men now in the service" or the
workers who have replaced them
since the strike was called nearly
two years ago.

WEEK SHOWS UPTURN
IN GRAIN QUOTATIONS
Corn Receipts Shrink to Low Level
Decrease in Wheat-Pro-
visions Higher.
BY the .Associa ted Press.

CHICAGO, April with corn re
ceipts shrinking to almost nothing
anC talk current that the May deliv-
cry might yet command 81 hushel,
all grain has made decided upturn
in price this week. Compared with a
week ago corn this morning was
2ssa2st to 39s cents higher, with
wheat | TO ] Ss cents up and oats
showing 7s to l Is al Il cents advance.
In provisions the weeks net changes
varied from 10 cents decline TO ~
cents gain.
Preceding the rise in grain values
something of a furry among traders
was brought about by announcement
that the government represe nta tive
OF tho board of trade had called at
tention to complaints of excessive
selling of corn-a charge that the
corn market had been manipulated
and unduly forced downward. Cen
eral evening up of accounts by deal
bear side took place, and with corn
offerings light advances in price
quickly enSued.
EXpec ctanCe that the movement of
corn and of other grain as we'll would
be greatly curtailed for at least sew
eral weeks during the rush Of field
work on farms did d good deal to
add impetus to the upward swing of
the corn market. 1t was said, too.
that considerable corn had been put
under charter for shipment at the
opening of lake navigation.
Decreases of the domestic visible
supply of wheat, corn and oats aided
the upturn of grain values Mill
rwtthdra walls OF wheat in store here
counted also a.s stimulus Besides,
delayed seeding of oats received much
attention.
Notwithstanding increas sed stocks OF
lard here provisions averaged higher r
with grain.

COTTON PAST WEEK
DEVELOPS STRENGTH
Market in Excited State, With Fu-
lures Forging to Good Tech
nical Position.
BY the Associs ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 5.-There has
been Il rapid and excited advance in
the cotton market during the past
week. Evidently the recent decline
to 26.45 for May contracts had left
futures in a strong technical posi-
ton, and a. covering movement was
started at the beginning of this week
by reports of increasing strength in
the spot market. Relatively firm
Liverpool cables. accompanied by re-
ports of a continued good demand
for spot cotton out of the Liverpool
stock and reports of increasing activ-
ity in the cotton goods market at
Manchester, contributed TO the ad
vance.
May sold above the 30la cent level
yesterday afternoon, making recov-
cry of fully 4 cents a pound from the
recent low price. New crop months
were in less active demand, but Octo-
ber contracts, which had sold at %. 40
on the recent decline, advanced to
$3.50 on the strength of the old crop
situation and reports of another de
lay in farm work. Private cables
accompanying the advance in Liver
pool have emphasized the continuance
of the spot demand there and the
better business in Lancashire. Both
of these features have been regarded
as pointing to a well sustained ex-
port demand, while advances in
foreign exchange rates and the hope
of an early settlement of the
reparations problem have served
to strengthen such expectations. IL
was reported that shippers here were
receiving requests from various
European markets for offers of cot
ton and there were numerous re-
ports that desirable grades in the
south were difficult to obtain. Ihere
were rumors that the advance had
attracted rather freer offers of spot
cotton in the south and that there
had been some easing of the basis,
but. except for realizing. very little
selling pressure was in evidence.
Sales of print cloths in the Fall
River market for the week were esti-
mated at 100000 pieces, or consider

BUSINESS is RETARDED.
Dun's Will Say Weather Condi-
tions Accentuated Contraction.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Dun's says
today:
by retarding spring activities, in
clement weather has accentuated the
contraction of business. April opened
with snowstorms along the Atlantic
seaboard, which checked demand for
seasonal goods and inpeded trans
portation and low temperatures and
floods in some other sections have
been added drawbacks. Apart from
the restraints imposed by the ele-
ments. the commercial movement
shows more plainly the effects of the
cautious forward buying in most
lines Production in certain quarters,
associated steel industry, approx
mates the best previous records, but
apparently exceeds consumption, and
output in some instances, notable at
textile mills, is being curtailed be-
cause of the small volume of new
orders.
