Prices Fall Back.

1t was noticeable in many OF the
foreign bonds that when the imme-
date demand was satisfied the price
was inclined TO fall back. The infer
ence was that a good deal of the
favorable outlook had been discounted
in the large advance these bonds have
enjoyed since the first OF the year.
Domestic bonds were irregular. but
the railway issues made the best
showing. Missouri Pacific Is, both the
y and r. bOns, were strong above 1OI
and more active than in long time.
Each of these issues is callable at
1919, aud while there has been no
suggestion that the Missouri Pacific
would retire either or both the posi-
bility was not overlooked by traders.

but the stamped bonds ran up over

Southern Railway obligations were

that the Offering Of IS 600 900 Seaboard

High Grade Issues Steady.
There was little change in the
strictly high-grada group. Atchison
general Is were up fractiOnally, while
Illinois Central Al 5 were down. There
was no hint in the action of the
United States Government list that
any change in the Federal Reserve

Easy Money Rates Stressed.
Easy money conditions are particu-
! larly emphasized in the monthly bust
ness and financial review issued by the
Federal Reserve Board. The level of
Federal Reserve bank credit on Janu-
airy 10 was lower than at any time
since Summer of 1925, the review
said.
Decrease in production of industries
and continued decline in prices coupled
with money conditions led to the be-
lief that a reduction in the discount
rate is not far away.

ELECTRICITY DOMINANT FACTOR
IN PRESENT-DAY LIFE

Addressing the Industrial Commit
tee of the Spokane, Washington
Chamber of Commerce, Lewis A.
Lewis said: =,
Suppose for a moment that all
electric service in any city should
suddenly cease forever; that. tele-
graph and cable lines would cease to
hum with public and private mes
sages, that telephones everywhere
went out fcommission, that radio,
so recently found, was again lost,
that the trolley lines stopped, 1gnl-
ton on the autos failed to function,
that electrically-driven industry
stood still, police signals and tlre
alarms failed to work and t1re
pumps failed to pump water to the
heights, and when night came, dark
ness could no longer be dissipated
by pressing a button or swapping a
switch, the streets remained IN
gloom and citizens everywhere had
to carry candles.
"a moments reflection will show
that such a catastrophe would strike
the city a blow almost as overwhel-
ming as that which struck Pompell.
Older means of lighting and locomo-
ton could be resumed, but the most
distinguishing features of modern
life. and present-day civilization
would become like the tombs of the
ancient Egyptians. Business would
be literally paralyzed."

installation of septic tank which
safely and efficiently disposes of
household wastes.
In such an installation, shown in
the drawing, the wastes are piped
to the tank which is located under
ground at a suitable distance from
the house. The septic tank itself,
contrary to usual belief, does not
purify the sewage. Instead, it
merely breaks up the solids into a
liquid. Certain bacteria, which
work best in darkness, do this work.
The liquid then emerges into a tile
