Foreign Government and Rail

NEW YORK, March 12-Inspired
by remarkable increase in car load
| ings for the week ending March l.
and by estimates of substantial i'm
provement in February gross earn
ings, speculative railroad bonds were
actively bought at advancing prices
In today's bond market. Securities
or many roads participated in the rise
The buying was especially confiden,
IN Seaboard Air Line bonds. The re-
FUNDING IS got above 81 and the ad.
Justment 5s went nearly as high, The
consolidated 6s crossed IS. In this
particular case, according to the lat
est estimates, not only is the Seaboard
earning all fixed and contingen,
charges, but preferred dividend re-
qulrements with balance over the
common stock.
Erie Bonds Higher.
Erie bonds were notably firm and
mostly higher. especially the con-
vertible "D'' As and the general Is
st. Louis-San Francisco incomes and
adjustments appeared to have a bet
ter market than in long time past
Chicago and Alton 3s continued their
eIuf h''c anu III DOnuS OF h1Eher
grade Baltimore and Ohio converti-
bile rs were especially strong, while
Norfolk and Western convertible IS
made another new high, keeping pace
with the stock
Next to the rails, the greatest in
terest was taken in the foreign list.
French bonds rallied sharply, first
sales of French SIS being up rs points
and first sales of French 7t.s being
up a points above last nights clos
ing prices. Paris, Lyon and Medi-
terranean 6s sold above 20. The
movem mt was in sympathy with the
recovery in franc exchange. 1t is sig
nihcant, however, that while the bonds
weakened with the franc, they came
back easier than they came down.
New Financing Delayed.
In domestic high grade investments,
United States government loans were
steady and the rails and industriaIs
were firm.
Among industrials the Virginia
Carolina Chemical IS made a new
low. Wilson & Co. convertible 6s
lost point. but the other Wilson 6:
Co. bonds were not much changed.
Investment bankers are holding off
new financing in large measure for
more favorable market. The only
important new issue put out today
was S3.105.000 Western Pacific ) u per
cent equipment trust certificates ma
turing Seriaily from December l.
1924, to December ], 1888, inclusive
The prices at which the certificates
were offered varied from AIS per
cent for the 1924 maturity and $50
per cent for the 1895 maturity to $50
per cent for the balance.

BLOOMINGTON

Mrs. j. B. Gilligan returned from
Madero, Calf, last Monday night and
reports her mother slightly improved
in health. On the trip home Mrs.
Gilligan was delayed nearly tow days
by heavy storms in the mountains.
The trains were obliged to detour on
various roads. While the train upon
which she was riding was crossing
Great Salt lake the waves were so
high that the spray from them dashed
upon the sides of the cars.
Several young folks from Bloom
ington attended the evening steam
boat excursion at Pra. du Chen last
week. They tell us that this year
the steamboat officials are more
strict than ever about the moonshine
boarding an excursion boat who looks
nuisance, and that every party
at all suspicious is searched. II liq-
uor is found on his person, it is taken
away from him and checked, and then
returned to him when he leaves the
boat. The boat excursion men say
they are not empowered to enforce
the law, but they will not permit liq-
uor to be INDUCED in on their ex-
cursions.
New Sewage Disposal System
The Bloomington village board has
voted to install partial sewerage
system for the village, to extend
down Congress street to Canal street,
and pass along Canal street and also
the street south of Canal, all connect
ing with the disposal plant to be in
stalled near the creek southeast of
the village. 1t is also probable that
the system will be extended up Pleas
ant street for a couple of blocks to
meet the wishes of people living along
that street. Sanitary Engineer P. w.
Dunnewald of Madison, assistant to
w. G. Kirchhoffer of that city, has
been here for several days outlining
plans. The same plans are being
used that were drawn up when an
election was held a couple of years
ago and a sewage proposition voted
down, including disposal plant suf-
ficiently large to take care of the en-
tire village, so that complete sys-
tenn can be installed piecemeal and
distribute the expense over a greater
period of years. The total cost of
that part of the system to be installed
now is estimated at about $4,000, to
be financed partly by assessments of
81 per front foot against property
to be served, and the balance of about
$4,000, against other property in the
village which will be served when the
system is completed The payments
run over a period of five years. The
cause of haste is the need of sewage
disposal for the public and parochial
choOlS.-Record.

Install New Water Pipe
500 feet of new 6-inch water pipe
is beng laid from a point in the alley

Der of mains as now used. Frank
