Texas Broker With Woman
Assistant Is Handling Deal
at New York

NEW YORK, sept. sO.-Even the
usually International veterans OF
Wall street We're buzzing today with
excitement over an attempt BY =. u.
Arlitt, of Austin. Texas, bond
broker. to float $4,000. 900 Of Mex.
lean bonds.
Arlitt heretofore was not gener-
ally known TO brokers accustomed
To- handling 100000 ventures.
He announced that the Mexican
government was behind the loan.
Although he Is directing the sale
throughout the country, ArIltt's
manager OF his New York office,
Miss A. M. Hillenmayer, is super
wishing the New York end ofs the
transactions. She said today that
the issue was meeting with good
response.
News of the venture came from
9 circular announcing the flotation.
For ten months there had been
rumors in the brokerage canyons
here that a Mexican loan was Inn
pending, most likely through the
firm OF y. p. Morgan and Company.
Miss Hillenmayer's office said the
bonds, bearing interest at the rate
of per cent, were selling at q
price to make them pay 8 per
cent. They are to mature In ten
vars, ranging in units Of from
$1,000 to SO 900.
The interest, payable In gold
dollars Of the United States, and
the principal are guaranteed. 1t
was announced, by revenue the
Mexican government levies on each
barrel of oil taken from the soil
there.
This revenue, the circular said,
y more than enough to pay the
interest.
Miss Hillenmayer's office said that
Arlitt had gone three times to
Mexico to talk with President Gales,
former President Obregon ana For
eign Minister Pant, There he con-
WINGED himself Of the soundness q
such an investment.
The purpose Of the financing, =
said Miss Hillenmayer, lis to pay
interest on outstanding loans, some
OF which recently was defnulted
after an international committee
Of bankers had arranged q method

HOGS 40 TO 55C
HIGHERAT S10.25
Calves Advance So to
$3.50 Top,

Demand for hogs at the local ex-
change, was normal, but falling off
of receipts to 4,5OO caused q sharp
upturn Of 40 to IS cents in prices
Thursday Bidding was active and
the market got away to a good start.
All weights were practically at the
one price of s1o.25 per cwt. Pigs
were higher in accord with the gen
eral slump market at IS to 1915.
Sows were higher at 1915 TO SO for
smooths and $3.50 to Ss.75 for
roughs. Light lights were quoted at
1915 to s1O.25. Several pori1ers were
being held to bring an extreme top
Of 5000, but until a late hour these
had not been sold There were GA
hold-oyers.
A strong demand for good killing
stock narrowed 10 the outlet for
medium and lower grades Of cattle.
Few, if any. price changes were re-
ported. Although there were no early
steer sales as high as $1,000, dealers
thought that if the cattle were good
enough they would bring as high as
S1O.75. Heifers were steady with
demand strong for good lights. Cows
were steady at 81 top. Receipts,
1000
Heavy Eastern orders for calves
boosted veal prices from soc to 50 at
the start of brisk trading. Receipts
were light and bidding was almost
frantic at times. Several extra fancy
calves sold at s13. The ordinary top.
however, was $3.50. The bulk Of
good veals brought s11.5O to S12. Re
ports show a shortage of veals in all
markets. Receipts, 800.
Sheep and lamb prices were IN
changed at $3.50 lamb top and Sc
sheep top. Trading was a little slow
on account Of rather heavy receipts
Of 500.

PLYMOUTH, VT, Aug. IA
Colonel John Coolidge. father of the
President. has been almost put out
Of bushes as a farmer by the tour
lists who visit the birthplace of the
President and sign the visitors reg
lister in the reception room.
THE autos stopped at the Cool
idge homestead last year at the rate
of 100 a day. and on Sunday last

house N Plymouth while the occu-
pants went in and signed the regis
ter said w. S. futile Of Rutland
a member Of the Home Town Cool
idge Club of Plymouth. which these
days is growing apace.
THE swarm of tourists may be a
matter Of casual human interest to
the newspaper reader, but it is en-
economic menace to Colonel Cool
idge, a real dirt farmer, with plenty
of work to do around the place.
Out of a sense of courtesy the father
of the President feels that he ought
personally TO greet each visitor, but
they are coming too fast for him

hay all show an improvement over
last months figures. Pastures show
a decline. Rainfall was deficient dur
ing July and temperatures ranged be-
low normal. Weather was favorable
for haying. harvesting and cult
waiting corn, but toward the close of
the month the deficiency in rainfall
had begun to show it's effect on
the growing crops.
While corn fields improved some in
appearance during July owing to
favorable weather for cultivation,
the crop is still at least three weeks
late an. dvll require ideal weather
conditions and a late season to ma
ture a very jarge portion Of it. About
25 per cent is still under two feet in
