PRICE OF BONDS
 SURGES UPWARD
The Abundance Of Funds Brings Widening Inquiry
 For Securities

NEW YORK, March 19.-stimulated by free offerings of money at the low est price since the summer of 1922, bond prices surged definitely higher in to- days active trading. The abundance of funds brought . widening inquiry for all classes of bonds, with a partic- ulariy heavy demand for low priced railroad issues and United States gov ernment obligations, some of which at tained new high levels for the year.
 Weighing more carefully the possible effects of the bonus measure on securi- ties. bond experts were inclined to re- gard 1t as less harmful to bond values than first anticipated. A favorable in- depreciation was placed upon the change from a cash to an insurance basis, in view of the fact that a bonus payment of some sort already had been dis counted.
 The most conspicuous feature of to- days market was the sharp rally of 6h points in Norfolk and Western convert ible 6s to a new record high price of 12s. Announcement that the PennsyI- vania railroad had opened negotiations for the lease of the road brought a flood of buying orders for both the company's stocks and bonds. Buying of other railroad bonds centered in the Seaboard, Southern Railway, Baltimore and Ohio and St. Poaul issues, all of which made substantial gains. Accu- mutation of local traction obligations continued to carry these issues up Offerings were made today of $14,000,- sharply.

fording the country any relief in taxa tion, though hope on both subjects has not yet been completely throttled. The next crop is getting off to a late poor start as result of wet, cold weather which has prevailed generally, even in the most southern sections of the belt. The early movement promises to be scanty, and will be poorly pieced out by any prospective carry-over. There are some glimmers of light in the tex tile situation. but no broad and general improvement as yet; and the feeling pers1ts in some quarters that mills will be forced to put out further hedges against stocks and that such selling will overcome an ytendency to recovery and provide enough contracts for shorts to cover comfortably. This theory is commonly held by outside speculative interests, who feel that all they have to do is to hold prices down for a time until that flood of selling starts, after which they will have plain sailing. Foreign advices are increasingly opti- mistic, however, with the continent re- ported large buyer of spots in Liver pool, particularly Russia.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Liverpool market was slightly better than due this morning and it was very encourak- ing to see spot sales of 10000 bales. The further bad weather in Texas encour- aged buying on our opening and 1t was noticeable that not very much cotton was offered during the early part of the morning, although the market did ease off after the first wave, of buying subsided. We are receiving very en- couraging reports from various spot centers saying that spots for foreign accounts are being bought and con sequently this has steadied the spot markets materially. It is also report- ed that the continent was taking a great deal of cotton through Liverpool. In view of the very bullish statistics that are already before us and this talk of q continued good spot business leads us to believe that it will have its effect on the future market in the not far dis tanct future. Preparations are acknovvI edged to be late and any change for the better at all In the dry goods sit- uation would find the market very scarce of contracts. We do not, how ever' look for a nasty advance, but do believe that in view of the news that has been coming in the market will gradually improve. It is true thai the market meets cotton on each advance. but each time the market seems morr ready to absorb it. In other words fhe market seems to be hardening un,- Hubbard Bros. O Co.

matter is now being probed and a
search has been instituted in Fort

According to information reaching
here a stranger in Fort Worth was
picked up on the streets of that place
Tuesday night. The stranger. it is
said. was suffering from what ap-

head with some blunt instrument.
Though conscious the victim. it is uaid.
was unable to identify himself. He
could make no coherent statement and
was unable to talk. except TO say he
had been struck on the head. The
man. il is said, was taken in by the
police and sent to n hospital.
Inquiry by city detectives, at the re-
quest of relatives. however. failed to
throw any light on the ease. Fort
Worth police could recall no such in
stance. A search of the hospitals and
other institutions. it is said, has been
started at that place.
Mr.. Cunningham left home last
Monday. announcing he was going to
attend meeting of the Elk's Club. He
never reached the place. His automo-
bile was later found parked in the rear
of the Gunter Hotel. Relatives at
the time of his disappearance ex-

foul play. He is known to have
carried $500 with him. In addition TO
that sum. ii is said. he is said TO have
cashed checks aggregating $50 the.

Former Governor James L. Fergu.

question. He expects 10 deliver other
addresses over the state. his purpose
being TO argue against the Democrats

national convention for McAdoo. From
here he will go to North Texas.
Monday morning Mr.. Ferguson said
McAdoo has held high prestige by vir-
tue of being given, high office at the
hands of the Democratic party and lie
has used that prestige to make about
a million dollars.
In addition, Mr.. Mc.Adoo is lacking
in moral courage in stating his posi-
ton on great public questions. no.

whether he is for or against the ku-
klux klan.' Mr.. Ferguson said. IKE
CARELESS of whether man is right or
wrong in being q member of the klan.
when he seeks a high office he ought
10 tell the people whether he is for or
against such an organization.
IF the Democrats are so foolish ms
TO nominate McAdoo he will not carry
ten states. President Coolidge has
not been charged. directly or indirectly.
with any improper conduct or any lack
of integrity and If the Democrats NOM
mate n man who is not in every way
his equal in that respect. we had just
as well save our money and not go to
the expense of holding an election. !
am not afraid the Democrats will
nominate Mr.. McAdoo. but | don't
want my state TO make the mistake Of
instructing for a nan who would make
us ridiculous.
Mr.. Ferguson is a candidate for gov
