Hudson and Essex would adopt

welt, a farmer living near here, whose
body was found in a deserted shack

The boy apparently was strangled.
He was found with his neck caught

floor In view of the fact that the
rope was too long to permit the body
to swing free, officers are. inclined TO
believe that perhaps the boy might
have been the victim of foul play.

BULLESH FORCES CONTROL MARKET
Pending International Loan For Japan Features Bond
 Situation

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-Wall Street explains last weeks reactionary ten dnecies in the stock market as the re- suit of a perfectly natural technical adjustment in the wake of previous ad- vances. No undue concern was mani- tested in any quarter at the close of the week, particularly as such reces- sions as did appear were not severe and as nothing developed to indicate a change in the fundamental sound ness of the business structure. Despite the temporary firming of call money in the middle of the week, easy money and imprvoing business continue to feature the situation.
 Industrial reports continue encourag- ing. The United States Steel compa- ny's forward business for the month of January was reported as up 353.O9O tons, bringing the total of such orders up to 4,79S, ,429, the largest since last September. The total compares with 4,445,339 tons reported at the close of December and 6,910,776 at the close of January, 1923.
 Expectation of just such report led to a strong demand for steel com mon in Saturdays short session. when bidding for this stock brought halt in other selling and contributed to the indications of a recovery underway at the close of the week. Following this demonstration, the market displayed ample evidence that bullish forces are still in control of the situation. AS further evidence of the well-con- trolled professional nature of the pres ent market, and the absence of any considerable outside participat ton, it lw~I AlA AE hA that if conditions had been otherwise Saturdays session would have wit messed more distressed selling" as a result of the burst of liquidation on Friday. No such selling appeared, however.
 Still another indication of the con- fidence in the technical position was seen in the refusal of the market to reflect the killing of a proposed amend mcnt in Congress that would have stop pee further issuance of tax-exempt se- curities. The bond market, likewise, failed to register on this development, and continued steady. The pending international loan for Japan continues to feature the bond market. While exact. details are lack ing, it is understood that a substan- tial block at attractive prices will be offered here. The indication that the bonds would yield approximately ' per cent gave rise to considerable spec ulation on the possibility of rising prices for capital.
 Call money ranged between 4 and 5K per cent during the past week, as against 4 and , the previous week. Mid-week firmness eventually gave way. Time money continues at Az to AZ per cent. with slight indication of further easing.
 Commercial paper was virtually qn- ] changed. --.. On light transactions foreign ex- changes scored moderate recoveries, re- flecting, no doubt, reassuring reports of progress being made by the separations experts abroad. \'rr
 Fifty representative stocks, half in- iustrial and half rails, opened the past week at S8.56. and closed at S7.5O, the decline being gradual from day to day. Forty representative bonds began the week at 1852, and declined steadily ltl 1919 on Saturday.

FLOODS THREATEN
 KANSAS LOWLANDS
Hundreds Of Acres Of Wheat Fields Are Under Water

HUTCHINSON, Kan, Feb. 1O.- Hundreds of acres of valuable Kansas wheat land are under water and the Arkansas river, it's channel jammed with ice, is rising rapidly. according to reports received here tonight.
 Scores of men worked in the low lands Sunday preparing the residents there for speedy evacuation, while others spent the day dynamiting the ice pack with very little success. The flood is reported to be over large area.
 At Nickerson many have left the low lands and have sought safety on higher ground. The river is rising swiftly at Dodge City and surrounding towns, where blasting has been only partially effective, it is stated.
 Many bridges are threatened by the swirling waters. but only few are said to be in immediate danger.
