swelled the weeks total of new financ- ing to more than S163, ,000,000. figure exceeded only once before this year. This was in the week ended February 15, when the $150, 100000 Japanese loan was floated The large volume of financing entrusted sharply with that of the preceding week when offerings aggregated about $45,000.00O. I'm portant business included S5000,00G short term note issue for Argentina and advances of about $300O0,000 for both the railroad and public utility in- dustries.
 Although easy money was the chief factor in the advance of investment rail bonds, merger possibilities governed the trend of the semi-speculative issues. Constructive operations in Missouri Pacific and International Great North ern liens were based on the expected approval of the consolidation of these roads with the gulf coast lines intoH greater Missouri Pacific system. Rock Island issues also were bought in an- ticipation of the roads eventual acqu- sitiOn by the Southern Pacific.

 Newb Is Good
 On the whole the industrial news for the week has been good. The greatly increased buying power in the grain belt is beginning to make itself felt. The motor industry obviously is on Il firmer basis. The steel industry is on the upgrade, but the increase in pro duction has been very slow. In tex tiles, buying has been spotty. Floor coverings have been one of the brightest spots. And here again mergers have entered into affairs with the consolida. tion of the Nairn Linoleum company and the Congoleum company, two of the largest manufacturers in the lino- lcum field. Cotton goods have been de- pressed by the cratic movement of cotton prices, but in woolens the trade is awaiting with interest the naming of spring 1925 lines on Monday by the American Woolen company, which will be the signal for buying on broad scale.

kets rose simultaneously. Otherwise the stock market has started upward from to Il months in advance of com modity markets. On the other hand, commodity prices have not begun to decline until several months after the commencement of bear stock markets.
 The significance of this study lies in its possible relation to current trends. There is some dispute as to whether October, 1923, was the last real turning point in the stock market. If that month did witness the beginning then the advance in commodity prices which began in July followed in eight months, and may prove sustained, if precedent is reliable guide. This is one month less than the average lead of bull market beginnings over com modity market advances.

AT THE TEMPLE

An act of heroism which was rel warded with gold watch was per formed by Assistant Director John F. Smith, during the filming of Rafael Sabatini's famous novel, Captain Blood," which will be the attraction at Temple theater all this week. Several articles of value had been lost in a large tank on the Vitagraph lot by several of the hundreds of players used in the big spectacular scenes. Be- tween "shots" the players spent their time in diving to recover the articles. One of them failed to come up. At the first intimation of danger, Mir. Smith rushed to the tank and plunged after him. The man was so far gone that it required 30 minutes first aid treatment to revive him.
 A few days later in recognition of his bravery Albert E. Smith, president of Vitagraph, made the presentation of gold watch in the presence of the entire Yitagraph company.
 Captain Blood, Yo-Ho" the overture prologue conceived and staged by Fred Stark, will be presented only at the seven and nine o'clock performances The Temple concert orchestra will be ably assisted by the Original Four Male quartette, and all scenic effects for the overture-prologue are by James A. Park. Performances on "Captain Blood' will start promptly at 11-1-3-5- E-9 D. m. daily, exceput Monday.

General Washington occupied the
place in 17T6, while 5000 volunteer

During battle which resulted in the
capture Of Fort Washington, this house
was the center Of operations. In 1T77
1t served as the headquarters of the
British army. IN 177S 1t was occupied
by General Baron Won Kuypausen and
his German following as Hessian
headquarters.
Following the close Of the RevOlu-
tionary ware this building was familiar
ly known as Calumet Inn. Stage
coaches operating between New York
city and Albany changed horses at this
point. President Washington and his
cabinet dined here in 1890.
In 1910 Stephen Jumel, q French
wine merchant of fame and fortune
purchased this mansion, restored it to
its condition In the time Of Washing
ton. Jumel died In 1882. The following
year Nine. Jumel married the illustri.

ney Chase, who studied law In Burrs
Office and who married g niece Of Nine.

years.
In 1903 the property was purchased

general, for the federal judgeship and

that he (Leavitt) had not deserted
Foot but sought the governors sup

Major Foct is firmly of the opinion
