STRENGTH DISPLAYED
IN FOREIGN BONDS
Finland IS Reach Highest Point of
Year on Talk of New Loan
to Aid Exporters.
RAILS LEAD HOME ISSUES
Supply of Funds Now Available Is
Called Colossal"
BY GEORGE r, HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 24-The money
situation continued to dominate the
bond market today with conditions
described by an eminent financial au-
thority as incredible" and the sup
ply of funds as ''colossal.' Time
money was 2A per cent up to sixty
days. freely offered at per cent for
ninety days, and into 1895 at 3k per
cent.
Tone Firmer Than Yesterday.
but the tone was firm, more so than
on Monday. Whenever any attempt
was made to buy any large block OF
seasoned issues it almost invariably
resulted in a price advance.
There was better buying today also
of the old line first mortgage legal
for savings banks railroad bonds
such as New York Central hs on a
ASS per cent basis. With every
United States government loan sell
ing to yield less than per cent the
banks have been turning toward
these gilt-edge rails.
Issue Promptly Sold.
Another striking indication of the
strength of the investment demand
was given in the prompt disposal to-
day Of the $1OOoo,OOo Virginian Rail-
way first SIS on a 5A per cent basis.
Part of the proceeds of this sale are
to be used to pay off the railroad S
notes to the government. on which 1t
is now paying 6 per cent
In the foreign group the feature
was the run-up in Finland 6s to a
new high. These bonds were offered
in October last at 80 and sold a point
above the offering price today.
Czechoslovak SIS and City of Copen-
hagen 51ts were also in demand
around the best prices OF the year.
T1ctions in Fine Demand.
Among the fractions Detroit
United AIS were conspicuously in de-
mand. Public Service of New Jersey
SIS crossed 94- Hudson and Manhat-
tan refunding 5s sold at Sc again.
There we're few developments of i'm
portance among the speculative rails:
Today's new offerings included
to yield from to Al per cent, and
S4,oo0.0o0 Appalachian Power per
cent debentures, to yield SIS per cent.

NEW YORK. June 24-Bond prices
fiuctuated within narrow limits today,
with a firm undertone prevailing in
the early trading. Foreign bonds
again displayed strength. Reports
in the financial district that an in
dustrial mortgage bank had been or
ganized in Finland for the purpose
of obtaining loans in this market for
exporting manufacturers impaired a
firm tone to Finland 6s, which reached
the years highest level South
American loans registered moderate
improvement. Lowpriced railroad
issues led the domestic list in activ-
itN.

NEW YORK, June 24.-The cotton
market opened steady today at
decline, 9 points on September. but
generally unchanged to 1 point
higher.
Scattered selling was promoted by
a favorable weather map and private
crop reports pointing to an improved
condition, but the market held steady
on relatively firm Liverpool cables
and renewed covering by July shorts
The feeling appeared to be that very
few notices would be issued tomorrow
and the firmness of July had a sus-
tanning influence on the general list
which showed net advances of about
z to IL points in the early trading.
Two private reports were issued
both of which pointed to condition
of around 6S and an indicated crop
of about 100000 bales.

ELKS' BANQUET

The Alexander Dumas 378 l. B. P
o. E. of w. of Milford, Del, and the
Hester DuttOn Temple were host and
hostess of their banquet Monday ev-
ening, August II, at which they en-
tertained more than 100 members
and friends; layers were prepared
for $50.
This will be known as a Good Fell
lOwship" banquet and will be an an
nuai affair.
There were remarks from Travel
ing Deputy Walter Stafford, P. E. R.,
who laid great stress on EIkdom and
its achievements. He surprised the
guests when he said that since the
convention in Chicago last August,
there were lis lodges and 81 temples
set up and spoke of other great pro-
gress.
P. D. R. GeOrgiana Virgins, D. D.,
spoke extensively on cooperation of
the churches and lodges. She also
rendered several vocal selections,
one of which was the singing of the
Elk's toast which held everybody
spellbound. Clarence Polk, P. E. R.,
made very appealing remarks to the
guests for cooperation and cited in
stances that he viewed, whilst a del
egate in June to the Bi-State Con-
vention in Annapolis, Md. Asbury |
Fountain, E. R., spoke on ElkdOm in
general and while not forgetting the |
other organizations of which he is a |
members, he spoke on fraternalism
and cooperation. EnOs Ross, Jr.,
secretary, delivered Biblical and his
tOrical parallels on the animal from
which our lodge derives it's name.
Lizzie Freeman, D. R., spoke on
strength; George A. Hayes, Esquire,
read a paper what is an Elk?" John
GOrdy sang Deep Down in the Gel
lar" Mrs. Hattie Adams recited Peo-
pie Will Talk. Dodson Allen of Phil
adelphia, but formerly of Milford,
sang several nice selections. Mr.. AL
en- sure is a treat to hear.
Frederick Ross gave some very
entertaining.
Calvin Mitchell and Isaac D.
3lackstOn were at the piano
Harrison Woolford, and E. L.
Knight sang.
Remarks were made by several
nOre.
The walters then served an excel a
ent luncheon prepared by our noted
hef, Sam Paynter; then we were |
ismissed by the chaplain and every /
ody went home saying it was the o
reatest they ever had in Milford

Parents have a duty to see that
their children not only attend school
regularly, but that they do their
studying during evenings if neces-
sary for them to keep up with their
classes. The parents will know ex-
actly what their children are, doing,
by reading and thinking over the re-
and then comparing
each month the markings of the re-
port cards that is given to each child
to take home, and which must be
signed by the parent, or guardian, or
those who stand in parental relation
to the child. If this is done, there is
no excuse for the child failing to
pass with at least satisfactory
marks.

$4,000 new VOTERS
in STATE THIS YEAR
CONTINUED from first page,

doubtless a still larger number who
were Indifferent. On the whole. there
is little question that a million or
more women apparently several mil
Hon. were stay-at-homes in 1920. and
many OF these during the past fOur
years have been converted to the
idea that they have a duty to their
country at the ballot box, and so will
join the army of new voters in the
1924 election.
1t is evident also that there is
going to be a fairly large gain in the
vote of the young men on two scores.
First, take the soldier BOYS coming
home from the World War. MANY of
them did not return to their homes
where they have legal residence. but
sought employment in industrial
centers. In their new locations they
did not have in 1920 the necessary
one years legal residence in the
state of their new allegiance to quail
lfy them for registering and voting.
But in 1924 the vast majority of the
100000 veterans of the World War
will be settled in the states where
my may 4CS1oIC1 anu NOl6. lQeu
again, after-war conditions caused !
an immense migration of young peo-
pie from the farms to the cities |
where in 1920 they had not resided |
long enough to qualify to vote. In |
the meantime a large percentage of
such young people have qualified to !
take part in the election
The interesting question that
arises in connection with the in
crease in the electorate is the effect
it will have on the presidential cleo
tiOn.
The largest plurality ever shown
in presidential election was that of
100000 for Harding and Coolidge in
1920. Ordinarily the national plural
ity is a few hundred thousand, that
Of Wilson in 1916 being 591 900. But
even the 100000 plurality of four !
years ago is equaled and probably
exceeded by the number of new cit
zens of voting age who may go to
he polls in November. Hence, it is !
,lain TO see that the new voter is apt
o prove a factor of the first impOr-
ance.
