CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November s.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who
suffered stroke Wednesday at the
Charlesgate Hospital. where he was
convalescing from an operation, was
somewhat weaker at noon today.

Senator Lodges condition is es-
sentially the same He is somewhat
weaker
Little change developed during the
night in the condition of Senator Lodge,
according to a bulletin issued by his
physicians at the Charlesgate Hospital
at S:45 this morning. The physicians
said the outlook was ''unfavorable.'
The morning bulletin, which was
signed by Drs. John H. Cunningham
and Frederick H. Winslow, who have
been in attendance on Senator Lodge
throughout his illness, said: There
was no real change in the patients
condition during the night The gem
eral outlook must be considered un-
favorable"
DR.. Cunningham. who announced
last night for the first time since
Senator Lodge was stricken at noon
Wednesday that his patient had a
fighting chance" of recovery, re-
mained at the hospital all night, and

nation of Senator Lodges symptoms,
aided by DR.. Winslow.

The physicians admitted that the
rally of the Senator at noon yester-
day. after he had been unconscious
As hours, was surprising. He had sew
nj
during which he recognized persons
around him and spoke a few words,
and nourishment was given for the
first time since the stroke Drs Cum
ningham and Winslow commented on
the remarkable vitality which had
enabled their patient. in his 18th year,
to continue a fight for life against
heavy odds for so many hours.
While insisting that the condition
of Senator Lodge remained grave,
bulletins issued by his physicians late
yesterday afternoon and last night
held for the first time hopeful sug-
gestion. More nourishment was given
and the periods Of consciousness grew
more sustained.
In order that the patient might
have absolute quiet, and that fullest
advantage might be taken of the
slight improvement in his condition,
orders were given last night to close
to automobile traffic that part of the
Memorial driveway directly in front
of the Charlesgate Hospital.

BONDS ADVANCE
DURING WEEK
Government Issues Rally
To Highest Levels Of
The Year

NEW YORK, May 3.-Reduction of
the New York Federal Reserve Banks
rediscount rate last week had a tonic
effect on the bond market. Responding
to the change to per cent, prices of
United States government obligations
rallied sharply to the highest levels of
the year and broadening inquiry for
other standard investment issues
brought about general improvement in
the markets tone. g.
Many conflicting views were broad
cast as to the ultimate effect of the
consensus favoring the theory that the
centuated by the release of additional
funds for investment purposes. The
return of call money to 81 per cent
was regarded as significant, although
1t was recognized that the bank rate
really followed the general money mar
ket down instead of taking the leader
ship in fixing lower quotations.
Heavy Financing Expected
Realignment of interest yields on
high grade securities, bond circles
agreed, would pave the way for heav-
Ter volume of financing in 1924. Ger
tam banking authorities even suggested
that the flood of new bond issues fore
Swallowed by the prevalence of easy
money might become SO great that it
would be found desirable to check the
borrowing. A return to the Az per
cent rediscount rate, it was asserted,
then might be adopted as corrective
measure.
Coincident with the; favorable shift
in the money situation, the total of
the weeks new bond Offerings mounted
to more than $125,000,OO0, the high
est since the second week in February.
Sale of the $3.50, 100000 japanese loan
at that time brought the weeks ag-
gregate to $172,625,00
One of the first foreign financial op-
erations which had been under negotia-
ton to reach the offering stage was the
$40, 000,000 loan for& the kingdom of
the Netherlands. Sale of the bonds was
announced early in the week The trans
action marked the Dutch governments
first external borrowing on a dollar
basis and was doubly interesting be-
cause Hollands accustomed role in in

Of Santa Rosa, CAL, the wild peoples

gracing social functions at night with
their petals open. Heretofore the gold

A San Francisco matron recently

a shame peoples had to go to sleep SO
early in the evening. Mr.. Burbank ex-
perimented, and as a result he gave her
this advice:
Stalk the peoples to their lair just
before daybreak, while their petals still
are closed. Then place them on ice
for the day. In the evening the flow
ers, put in water and exposed to the
warm air Of drawing room, win yawn
gratefully, open their petals and ex-
pand their loveliness for all beholdsrs.
He said the same treatment could
be adapted for other nfght-closing flow
ers.

TO Consumer, Declares

WASHINGTON, May 4.Sharp de-
clines In wheat prices have failed to
bring relief In the way Of lower bread
prices, according to the conclusions
reached BY the federal trade commission
after an investigation of the milling
industry undertaken in response to the
Senate resolution offered by Senator
Norris, Nebraska, chairman of the SEN
ate agricultural committee.
The federal trade commission re-
ported that between January, 1919,

Flour prices dropped SO per cent in
the Minneapolis district. and 40 pcr
cent in the Kansas City district.
Wheat prices declined so per cent
&C Minneapolis and 90 per cent at

Bread Falls . Per Cent
Bread prices fell per cent at Min.

due to bakers price-war; 6.6 per cent
at Boston and 2 per cent at New York.
The above comparison shows that

trous to the farmer, has benefited the
purchaser of bread very little" the
