LIBERTY BONDS
In the Stock Market
fBy Thomson & McKinnon

NEW YORK, April 9.-Good
morning. There is a display of vim
and vigor around this morning and
we have hopes that it will permate
the market Weekend news from
Federal Reserve centers indicate
continued improvement in general
business and on a broader scale.
The meeting of eastern trunk line
railroad executives lends hope that
progress is being made in the right
direction although no official state
ment has been forthcoming. How
ever, the American Railway Asso-
ciation estimates that freight car
demand for twenty-nine principal
commodities will exceed last year by
$4,000, and when all is said and
done it is from the basic industries
the most dependable data on which
to judge the future is obtained. 1t
is hoped that traders will continue
the selective trading begun last
week, thereby giving the market a
degree of stability. A choice made
in the high grade rail and motor
shares would seem the most logical
and desirable commitments for the
present.

Chicago Board of Trade
Celebrates Anniversary.

CHICAGO, April 9.-Soldier boys
of the World War and veterans CT
the Spanish American War paraded
the streets here amid the blare of
bands and the booming of cannon
The occasion was the eightieth
birthday of the Chicago Board of
Trade. the largest commodity ex-
change in the world.
Speakers at the meeting. held on
the spacious trading floor of the
exchange with its vaulted ceiling
and stained glass windows, traced
the history of the grain market
from its creation by leading Chi
cago merchants one foggy morning
back in 1848.
American Legion officers sketched
the activities of the Chicago eX-
change during the Civil, Spanish
American and World Wars and
praised the work still being done
by the Board of Trade Post of the
Legion, under whose auspices to-
days program was carried out.
1t was the Civil War, speakers
declared, that brought about fu-
ture trading, which for years made
the exchange the pivotal point in
political controversies. In order to
insure the armies of bread, the risk
of heavy futures buying was made,
and the plan has proven so eco
nomic that it has grown to present
proportions.
Nearly thirteen billion bushels of
physical grain have been received
in Chicago during the last sixty-five
years and ten billion bushels
shipped out -Four hundred million
bushels are now handled annually.

By United Press
NEW YORK, April 9.-Ignoring
entirely the increase of nearly
$154,000,0O0 in brokerage loans re-
ported Thursday, the stock market
today continued the advance in
progress before the long Easter va
cation.
The opening was strong with
United States Steel and other lead
ing industrials higher. Rails were
again in demand. while motor
shares generally advanced. New
York fractions scared with irregu-
larity.
General Motors opened at 1876,

acted to 194H Anaconda scared Az

Rails Go Up
In the rail division Pittsburgh &
West Virginia spurted 21s to 157 and
Kansas City Southern 2 points to SO.
Shares of United States Rubber
common broke sharply. The COM
mon was down more than 2 points,
while the preferred broke 61s to 79,
new low for the year. Pressure
was due to the action Of directors
in passing the common dividend.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review
said:
THE Stock Exchange loan figures
for March showed a gain of 317,000,-
600, which was $2OO,OO0,O00 more
than the Federal Reserve total for
the first three weeks of last month.
In other words, the latest Federal
Reserve figures largerly reflected a
situation which the stock market
had been informed of by the Stock
Exchange announcement last week.
Consequently no selling was oc-
casioned by the loan figures in the
early dealings and stocks moved
ahaed under an accumulation of
buying ORDERS over the monday.
Strong Tone Maintained
Stocks maintained strong tone
in the late morning dealings, de-
spite the f1rmer money conditions.
Banks called about $20,000,000 in
loans and the outlook was for a
Tightening of the demand rate of S
per cent from a renewal rate of
5A per cent.
However, principal trading stocks
were active at the best levels Of the

SandinO at End of Rope,
Returned Marine Says
Lieut.. C. Connette Tells of
Adventures, Conditions
in Nicaragua.

Sandlno, the Nlcaraguan reVolu-
tionary leader, is at the end of his
string, and, if he stays with his men,
can not avoid speedy capture, said
First Lieutenant G. Connette of the
Marines, home at 726 Colorado Ave,
after a over a years service on the
Nicaraguan front" The noun
famous nature of the country, and
the thick woods and jungle, how
ever, make it difficult to promise his
apprehension if he should elect to
abandon his ragged followers to
their fate, Connette said.
Lieutenant Connette gave a vivid
description of battles fought in the
gloomy forests, where the sole tac-
tics lay in ambush and shooting at
the noise" of the native machine
guns. Seldom were the Marine
combatantS able to see any of the
revolutionistS until the captured,
dead and wounded came to light
after the battle was over.
Arms Come From Mexico
Arms for the rebels have mostly
been obtained through Mexico, Con-
nette stated. The Bolshevist influ-
ence in the revolt has been slight,
although several Russian agitators
have been discovered and deported
by the Nicaraguan government.
Sanitary conditions in general
through the country have been vast
ly bettered under the rule of the
Marines; malaria has been practic
ally overcome in all the territory
controlled by the corps.
The country as a whole has suf-
fered as a result of the almost con-
slant guerilla warfare prior to the
Marine occupation. The barefoot
armies" Of the different presiden-
tial candidates by-force-of-arms"
live off the country they traverse,
constantly denuding it Of livestock
and edibles. That is the reason the
better element of the Nicaraguan
population thoroughly is in favor Of
the Marine occupation, and hopes
for its indefinite extension.
The poorer element Of Nicara-
guans, on the contrary, having
nothing to lose, are ready to follow
any politician who will give them
a rifle and promise plenty of pillage.
This is the element from which
Sandinos force has been recruited.
Americans Employ Many
f--c-ican industry employs thou
sands Of Nicaraguans, paying them
better wages than the average for
the country, Connette said. The
welfare work done By American en-
ployers is noticeable in the citizens
of the towns in which American
firms are active. An excellent op-
portunity was given Litutenant
Connette to observe these facts
since he was stationed several
months in command of the force
policing the largest American COL
ony on the east coast-Puerta
CabezaS.
Connette witnessed the heroic
work of Lieut.. c. F. Schilt, who
made ten aeroplane trips under fire,
carrying Marines wounded with
Captain Livingston'S ambushed par
ty to Managua for hospital treat
ment. Schlit was forced to land his
plane, and take off, from a space
made by tearing down houses with
in the town.
Lieutenant COnnette was born and
raised in indianapolis, and obtained
his education il the citys schools.

three years in the service. He will
remain at his home for thirty days,
