NEW YORK, March 25.-Moderate
Improvement in the more speculative
issues, but in more easy tones in high
grade investments were the charac-
teristics of the day in bonds. The
local fractions rallied again led by
the Interborough group.
Among the rails the leaders were
the st. Paul bonds. Comment to the
effect that brief receivership was
in prospect led to good deal of
short covering as we'll as new buy
ing by these who believed that the
present quotations were low enough.
The con ertible SIS, long term, and
the A rs Of 1882 made the most pro-
nounced gains.
Foreign List Active.
More attention was paid to the for
eign list than in some time, the fea-
in French bonds. This was all the
more noticeable because franc eX-
change had been strong Tuesday, but
without any stimulating effect upon
the dollar bonds Yil the French
obligations are now selling at the
low of the year and in the case of
the Paris Lyons Mediterranean IS and
the same companys Is at new low
prices. II is hard to see how a new
french loan could be placed In TINS
market on any favorable terms. Mid
European bonds were all heavy with
the possible exception of the Ger
man Is.
Among domestic industrials Ana
conda Copper 6s fell below par, Chile
Copper 6s were lower and the bonds
of the sugar-producing companies
were mostly down fractionally.
American Agricultural Chemical
712s did a lite better. Changes in
United States Government securities
were of no Significance. Demand and
supply were about balanced and the
same was true of the savings bank
railroad mortgages.
TOday's New Issues.
The new issues of the day included
s5.000,000 Alpine Montan Steel 7s

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, March 25.-The bottom
kept on dropping out of the corn
market today as a consequence of the
live stock shortage in this country
and the use by farmers of substitutes
for feeding their hogs. At s1.0715 for
May delivery corn, that grain was
at it's lowest for months. Even the
very evident shortage of this feed

SENATOR BARW|SE
ADDRESSES MEETING
ON STATE OF maine

With the entire program concern
Ing Maine, the meeting sponsored by
the Progressive Dramatic Club ,at
the Spiritualist temple, Friday eve
ming. proved most interesting and
enjoyable. There were several read
ings and recitations by the younger
members, and the address of the
evening was delivered by State
Senator Mark A. Barwise of Ban
gor.
Senator Barwise sketched the his
tory of the State of Maine from be-
fore the Revolutionary war down to
the present day. He described the
activities of the forefathers in the
years before Maine became a State,
ana described the. deliberations of
the frame{s of the State constitu-
tion, who when at Portland for that
important purpose at the same time
organized the Masonic Lodge of
Maine.s
The speaker declared that the two
greatest statesmen of Maine were
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin and James G
Blaine. The two greatest writers
were the poet Henry Wardsworth
Longfellow and Bill Nye. Longfellow
graduated from Bowdoin College just
one hundred years ago, five years af-
ter Maine became a State. Senator
Bar%ise gave one of Bill Nye's say
ings: II would rather be a fool than
to know so much that wasn't So"
Senator Barwise eulogized Dor
othy Dix as the woman who was in
strumental in the inauguration of re-
forms in insane hospitals and pris-
ons. This state was one of the first
to adopt the constitutional amend
ment to Danish capital punishment; !;
Also one Of the first to allow prison.
ers to testify in their own behalf in
court trials. When this procedure
was first proposed the judges and
lawyers considered it most prepos-
ferrous.
Harrison D. Barrett the first pres
ident of the National Spiritualist AS
sociation was a native of Canaan.
Me-, and the speaker declared had
done more to uplift the state than
any other man that Maine has pro-
dLced. The senator explained some
hing Of the circumstances that lead
to the introduction of the so-callel
Barwise Bill in the State Legislature
and told his hearers why in his opin-
ion there should be complete separ-
alton of church and state.
The program also included orches-
ira selections by Mrs. Brann, Mrs
Soule. Miss Skillin and Mr.. Gonella ::
Readings by Mrs. Frances Shaw
Stanley Nichols. Flora Pierce. John
Wilson, Shirley Nichols. Bertha
Childs and Harold French: vocal So
los by Luoile Hall and a violin duet
by Mrs. Nellie Soule and Miss Mar
garet Skillin.
Rev. Dana Smith Temple of Hills
boro. n. H.. gave a brief address on
his Impressions of Maine" and an
accordian solo was rendered by Peter
Gonnella.
