they said this section could breed

In commenting on the statement
Of a sports writer who took the
statement that the Valley breeds no
fishing worms as q slight on VAL
ley soil, one local man said.
Priority Rights
Fishing worms were originated
in East Texas, and we're brought up
during early childhood Of the race
on the East Texas soil. They
are naturally used to that lean,
sandy type OF soil. and the Valleys
rich soil proves too much for them,
and they die out. To say that such
a condition is a slight on the Valley
is little more than absurd"
"A meeting OF Valley people inter-
ested in the formation Of a fishing
worm association probably will be
held early next week. in the office
OF II. r. BOYD at San Benito.
Dozens of spcrtSmen from all
parts Of the Valley have indicated
their intention or joining.

FINANCING
METHODS ARE CHANGED

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 19.--Investors
who want the possibility of more than
5 and per cent for their money are
forcing railroads to finance through
stock and convertible bonds.
All major railway financing this year
has been of this character. Invest
ment bankers say it would be to the
interest of most railroads to continue
the practice throughout the remainder
of 1929.
Only a business depression with a
return of stock prices to 10 and Is times
the earnings instead of the present 20,
IS and even 80 times, will bring a
reversal in sentiment and a ready
market for gilt-edge railroad bonds.
bankers say.
While railroads are not borrowing or
raising as much money as they were
few years ago, they are reported to be
receiving substantially all the funds
they need. Whereas they once took IS
per cent of the capital funds In the
market, railroads nowadays are receiv-
ing only 10 per cent. This is due to
their slower growth now, compared to
the rapid development in the first
quarter of this century.
Some houses look for redemption of
United States Steel Corporations bonds
to create a renewed demand for first
class rail securities. The bond market
also is expected in some quarters to do
better with the quieting down of the
stock market.

STOCKS AGAIN RISE
IN FACE OF SELLING
Market Absorbs Liquidation
and Moves Forward
Steadily.
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 19-Resisting all
adverse influences, today's stock market
gave an impressive demonstration OF
underlying strength. Practically all the
important changes were on the side of
advance. AS a rule, gains were not
large and volume was well under that
of the preceding session, and yet four
fifths of the time the buyers had all
the better of it.
Features included an all-time high for
American Telephone &, Telegraph, a
price for Bethlehem Steel higher than
at any time since 1917, short covering
IN some Of the motors and pronounced
strength In one or two of the oils, not
ably Pan-American Petroleum. Money
held at TIE per cent all day.
Traders had batch of discouraging
news to assimilate. First there was the
breakdown of the reparations confer
ence at Paris, serious matter of far
reaching importance. Second. there was
the analysis of the credit situation by
Chairman Mitchell of the National City
Bank, with a suggestion Of a remedy
repeal of the stock tax-that there
seemed little chance Of applying for
long time to come.
Then there was talk of downward
readjustment in commodity prices and
overproduction in various lines. Pessi-
mistic talk about motor car distribution
was heard in many quarters.
The market met this test of unfavor-
able developments in the outside world
remarkably well. There was some SELL
ing in the first hour but 1t was alb
sorbed without serious impression on
prices, and before noon trading IA
vorites we're being bid UP again. 1t had
significance. too, that the volume in the
first half hour, representing overnight
orders and covering during the time
when the market was under the most
pressure, was much under that of
Thursday.
