Weeks Review of
Market Condition

New York, Oct. 4.-(AP)-
Marked expansion in the volume of
stock trading reminiscent of last
years post-election boom, a resump-
ton of the upward movement in
the bond market and the develop
ment of a reactionary trend in the
principal foreign exchanges were the
outstanding features of this week S
financial markets.
Speculative enthusiasm ran high
in the stock market following reten-
ton of the local federal reserve
bank rate at 3 IL per cent, reflect
ing a general feeling of relief in the
financial district at the prospect of
no immediate change. Sustained
strength of the motor shares, which
seemed invulnerable to attacks of
profit taking and bear selling, dis
tinguished trading. General Motors,
Hudson and Chrysler which had
been speculative favorites yielded
their leadership late in the week to
Dodge.
Many other standard Industrial
shares participated in the upward
movement under the leadership of
U. S. Steel Daily transactions
twice exceeded two million shares.
Although the failure to reach a
definite settlement of the French
debt was disregarded in the stock
market, it caused a sharp reaction
in French bonds and francs. Sterling
exchange sagged to the lowest level
since Great Britain's return to the
gold standard following the lower
ing of the London bank rate.

Dogs Warning
Prevents Eagle
J Attack on Child

WEIGH, w! Va, Oct. 3.-The timely
barking of dog and quick, accurate
shot by 2. A. Workman, a farmer liv-
ing near here, prevented big bald
eagle from carrying away Mr.. Work.
mans 12-months-old daughter, Sadie
May.
The little one was playing in the
yard In front OF the Workman home
when the fathers attention was at
tracted by the loud barking of his dog
and its frantic actions. CHANGING up.
Mr.. Workman saw large eagle
swooping down on his child. His
shouts caused the bird to defect slight
ly in its downward flight, missing the
infant by about three feet.
Quickly obtaining his shotgun, Mr..
Workman dashed out on his porch in
time to see the bird, which had been
lowering about 80 feet above the child,
start downward second time. A well
directly shot brought the eagle to the
ground within few feet of the child.

Sharing honors with the large or
chestra of the Maine Music Festival
composed of members of the New
York Philharmonic orchestra and I'M
der the personal direction of William
r. Chapman, Roger -. Nye, formerly
of this city, scored q distinct triumph
in his first recital appearance be-
fore an Augusta audience, Sunday
afternoon at city hall. Mr.. Nye, who
has for the past four years been I'M
der the tutelege of ISadore Bragiotti,
has recently returned from a brief
visit to Italy, where he studied GER
tain phases of grand opera under the
direction of a leading teacher of that
country, and his interpolation of the
several numbers together with his
mastery of the beautiful language of
Italy reflected not only the teachings
of his two maestros but his own in
born talent as well.
The audience of music lovers, COM
posed not only of Augusta people but
of people from many other towns and
cities were warm in their praise of
the Maine tenor and after each num-
Der he was obliged to reapppear
again and again. Because of the
short time available for the concert,
obliged to leave in the late afternoon
for Lewiston, Mr.. Nye was unable to
respond with an encore after his first
number but at the conclusion of a
group of four varied selections he
responded with two beautiful en-
cores, 20 Sole Milo" and Drink to
Me Only With Thine Eyes" both OF
these being especially suiteded to
bring out the natural sweetness OF
his beautiful lyric tenor voice, which
is of especially large volume and
with superior quality in the higher
tones.
Reginald Boardman, who played
| the accompaniment for the last group
Of songs by Mr.. Nye, added much to
the pleasure of the numbers by his
unfailing following of the artist. II
| became known after the concert that
Mr.. Boardman had not played for
Mr.. Nye previously but that he was
! chosen to take the place of the regu-
| lar accompanist, who could not be
present. 1t was especially pleasing
| that another Maine man should APP
| pear upon the stage at this time. Mr.
| Boardman being a former resident OF
Islesboro, now a well known accom-
PIANIST of Boston.
A notable selection by the orches-
ira, new to Augusta audiences in its
entirety, was the Dvorak symphony
/ 'The New World" This magnificent
number in four parts was a striking
, example of the work of this famous
composer, and the applause after
each part Of the symphony was
deafening. Especially noteworthy
were the phases wherein the various
sections played alone, first the
strings then the brasses, the work OF
each section being with the extreme
accuracy characteristic of such a
, body of musicians. This accuracy
was also. strikiIgly illustrated in the
beautiful organ chords which form a
part of the symphony and which
were played with wonderful effect by
the brasses.

Money Reviews

New York, Oct. 4.-(AP)-The
current expansion of autumn bust
ness was supplemented last week by
the formal recognition of the coun-
try's sound credit position when the
directors of the New York Federal
Reserve bank voted to retain the
present rediscount rate of 3 IL per
cent.
Indications that there has been no
great speculative increase in borrow
ing for ordinary business purposes
are seen in the fact that commercial
system member banks for the past
year show an increase of only about
1910 ,0O0,0 600 in this class of borrow
ing which is considered a normal
expansion. On the other hand,
member bank loans on stocks and
bonds increased $76S, 100000 in. the
same period. a development which is
not viewed with favor in conserva-
tive banking quarters.
Additional evidences of banking
gains came to light last week, with
constructive factors again outnum-
bering adverse influences. Further
expansion was reported in the steel
industry, operations of the U. S.
Steel Corporation increasing to
about so per cent of capacity. Unfill-
ed tonnage figures at the end of
September are expected to reveal the
first increase in many months.
Railroad car loadings for the
week ended September 16, again
jumped above the million car mark.
Anthracite coal is moving rapidly
from the mines. A representative
view of the general situation came
from the National City Bank of New
York. which found that 1.-The trend

of trade this fall will be the largest

that before doubling any statement

seemingly incredible it sounds, one
should be quite sure as to it's precise

In order to illustrate his contention
he went on to instance the case of a
friend of his who knew a little about
billiards and chess, and who told him
one day that he had beaten the anna
teur champions of England at both
games.
Sir Eric expressed great surprise
and some incredulity. but the other
persisted that his statement was quite
true.
