pendent upon temporary changes in

ket estimates from current variations

Steels and Motors.
It is noticeable that steel shares,
during the past week, have risen lit
tie. This Is because OF the general
view that the United States Steel Cor
p.oration in its monthly report VIII
show falling OF in orders. Steel pro
duction remains high, but prices con
tinue low and the contrast represents
the difficulties between hopeful and
not hopeful feeling regarding the steel
securities.
Motor shares have come down during
the last week because of disappoint-
ment that the expectations of the first
OF the year have not been realized.
Some Of the automobile companies,
while reporting good earnings for the
first quarter, have not lived I'd to
what was looked for. This part of the
market, which led everything during
the speculative campaign of October
and November, has not since realized
anticipations
The grain market has been hit by
the thought that the big English strike
would hold up shipments of American
wheat and corn. Cotton has not been
SO much affected. although it might
have been expected to be. The point
in question is that indications for the
new crop have been reduced and that
this might offset even the possible re.
strictions on the English demand for
the American staple.
French and Belgian Exchange Down.
Both French and Belgian francs
made a new low for all time during
the last week. Toward the end of the
week there was some talk Of official
support. The bars have been removed
SO far as further advances Of American
credit are concerned. But it is still
doubtful as to whether the French
fiscal program and the Belgian fiscal
program will eventuate In q real bal.
ance Of the budget. Until this happens
it cannot be said that the French and
Belgian positions financially are what
they ought to be.
The French franc may be supported
by American capital and so may the
Belgian franc. But until it is assured

BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch TO The Sta.


NEW YORK. May S.-The English
labor crisis has dominated the mar
kets of the world during the past
week, not to the exclusion of every
thing else, but still it has been by far
the most important incident.
Had this great strike occurred be-
fore the war, undoubtedly 1t would
have caused a downpour of American
securities. But at the present time
England has had no great amount of
American bonds and stocks to sell.
There are no reliable estimates Of the
amount of American issues left in
British hands. But it is believed that
most Of the liquidation of English
held American obligations occurred
during the war and just after There
fore, there is no fear of any big sell
ing movement from abroad, no mat
ter what the English labor problems
may lead to.
Sterling Reflects Confidence.
Sterling exchange came down not
quite cents In the pound, and this
told the story of American banking
opinion regarding the Importance of
the British labor outbreak. A de-
cline of this extent would have been
nothing during the long period be-
tween 1914 and 1925, when Great
Britain was off the gold basis. 1t
was fair.sized drop, considering the
fact that England had resumed re-
sponsibility for meeting the dollar
and the other currencies In gold. Still
1t did not suggest anything revolu-
tionary.
In banking circles here there is
great faith in the conservatism OF the
English people. There are differences
of opinion regarding the mine wage
question and the apparent willingness
of the other English trade unions to
Join in. But there is a sincere con-
fidence in the intrinsic stability of the
majority Of the English people when
it comes to a question of economic
and political upset.
Money Continues Cheap.
The money market has remained at
it's lowest of the year. which means
the lowest figures In two years. This
naturally sustains investment prices
for the bond and the high-grade In
vestment stocks, Ap accurate deScrip-
tion of the investment market at the
present time would be that it was
holding around its top levels, with no
immediate tendency to SO higher

&C. A. Crawford Heads City
in Quiet Election

Aha! 1t looks like Lee Semon
and Frank Beste voted for them
selves. Each received one vote for
mayor at the quiet little city cleo
ton we pulled off here Tuesday. -
= Either this is an unusually har-
monious little community, or we
are losing our pep. Only 165 peo-
pie voted in the three wards. Of
course there was no contest for
any of the offices, but at that it
seems as tho there should have
been bigger showing made than
that.
!; Well, because of the election H.
B. Terril gets to preside at two
more sessions of the council as
acting mayor. c.. A. Crawford was
elected mayor and will take the
chair after the first of the year,
and Mr.. Terril will return to his
aldermanic cushion on the east
side of the long table. -.
Phil Warnock is under suspi-
cion, too. He received a vote or
two for city attorney. But .Hol-
combe got too many more to leave
any doubt, so he will advise the
aldermen for another term. w.
G. Muldrow and J. w. Vickers will
be the two new faces appearing at
the council meetings after the first
of the year, both having been elect
ed from the second ward. r.
There were sixty-four votes cast
in the first ward, 4S in the secorI
and So in the third.

I. N. Manning, of Richland brot
in to this office this week a couple
of asparagus stalks that were cut
from an open field, unprotected in
any way. These were about an
inch in diameter, really too big
for the market. Another stalk was
fully twenty inches long.
Del Bergen from the River Road
reports that his asparagus is three
inches high already. A couple more
fine warm days and he'll have to
begin cutting for market. Oh boy!

DEER SANTLERS
SHOT OFF

BELLEFoNTE, Pa. Dec. 49,.
Center county bids fair to become
the premier hunting grounds in the
State and to have the record this
year Of the greatest kin Of deer dur.
Ing the Is days OF the open hunting
season OF any county in the state.
1t can boast Of having been IN.
vaded by more hunters from diff
-ferent parts Of the State than any
other county. and few went home
empty handed. Il
As to the kill, Thomas @. Mosier,
game protector for Center county.
says that while he had made no diff.
mite computation. he Ii satisfied by
reports from the game wardens that
not less than 500 bucks fell the first
two days Of the season. and that
there Is no doubt the kill will exceed
greatly that Of last year, which was
500.
Of course, the hunting season
would not be complete without It's
repertoire OF good stories, and the
best has to do with the abnormally
bad luck Of Clayton Wagner, Of
Center Hall. He was q member Of
hunting party IN the Seven Noun.
tains which shot q deer only. to have
It taken from them by another party,
q member Of which was the first to
lay hands on 1t.
The Center Hall party left the
field and had not gone Tar when Mr..
Wagner espieds q big buck land took
q shot at Il. He saw the animal
turn several sonnersaults and made
haste to get down TO It. But when
he reached the spot where 1T lay he
was dunibfounded to see II had no
horns. While he Was debating what
to- do about killing an Illegal deer the
animal began to stir around and
soon jumped up. and ran away.
Wagner was very much relieved, 80
decided to 70 back to the spot where
he had made the shot. Then he was
doubIy chagriTed to find q pair Of
five-pronged antlers with fresh blood
on them. His shot had simply de.
horned the deer and naturally
stunned 1t for the time being.
