FOURTH ENJOYED
AT MOOSE LAKE
Good Weather and Big Crowd, All
Goes Well.-MOOSe Wins
Ball Game.

Moose Lake has a reputation for
putting over good Fourth of July cele-
bratiOns and the event last week was
having become a Mecca for Independ-
ence day celebratOrs in this territory.
Scores of automobiles filled with
pleasure seekers arrived early in the
morning and at 10 o'clock when the
AskOv Band played a concert on the
street the streets were literally lined
with cars. The band concert was fol-
lowed by acrobatic performances by
the Beatty Acrobatic Co., who also
entertained late in the afternoon. At
11:30 the address of welcome was given
by Mayor P. w. Swedberg and the
patriotic address by l.. w. Abbott.
Sports of various kinds were enjoyed
as was also swimming and boating in
the lake so conveniently located. The
big event of the afternoon was the
ball game between Sturgeon Lake and
Moose Lake, which however did not
prove to be quite as interesting and
as good ball as these two teams de-
liver most of the time. Several close
decisions caused some discussion
which became tiresome to the fans.
The Askov band entertained at diff
ferent intervals. throughout the day
and there was also an old time fid-
dler's contest, big dance in the pa
viliOn with music by the Silver Cres-
cent orchestra of Minneapolis, and a
pretty display of fireworks in the eve
ming.
AerOplane Flights.
One of the features of the celebra-
ton was the presence of Pie" Swan
son, Moose Lake boy, with his aero
plane. He took up many passengers
for a little spin in the air, circling
over the village and the lake and
making his landings on the Dodge
farm north of town. Swanson who is
young man in the twenties is new

CREDIT frightened
ON COTTON EXCHANGE
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 22-Coincident
with the growth of speculative interest
in cotton trading, the New York Cot
ton Exchange has acted to tighten the
credit requirements for dealing on the
exchange. The board of managers has
posted a notice announcing that, begin
ming May Is, members shall not extend
credits to customers amounting to more
than s. a bale or to a maximum OF
more than $4,000 to any one customer.
The notice states: The extension OF
credits, directly or indirectly. to any
person, firm. corporation or association
in excess of SIS bale or exceeding a
maximum of $4,000 is declared to be
an act detrimental to the best interests
of the exchange and Is hereby prohib-
tied. Any member violating this rule
shall be subject to suspension or ex-
pulsion. ="
While this rule inevitably will tend
to restrict speculation in cotton futures.
1t was explained that its adoption was
primarily in an effort to even up the
business between members. since under
the present conditions, with practically
no credit restrictions. large Stock Ex-
| change houses with powerful financial
backing have great advantage over
| the smaller houses trading exclusively
in cotton. 1t also will tend to save
smaller houses from overwhelming
| themselves in an effort to serve their
customers.
| At the same time the board announced
that it had approved an amendment tt
| the bylaws increasing commissions
from S1250 to SIS on each 100 bale:
| bought or sold for a non-member, ir
the United States or Canada, when the
price does not exceed IS cents pound
The board also approved an increase
from $l25 to $3.50 in the commission
on similar transactions when one mem.

the open market which must be alb
sorbed. Naturally, the opposite is true
when these securities are bought by the
Reserve banks.
The chart shows that this system OF
control has been effective. Whenever
the Government security holdings OF the
Reserve banks were sold time money
rates and the yield on bonds and all
other classes of fixed interest securities
would rise. Whenever Government Sc
curities were purchased the yields
dropped.
During the past year, when the tire
mendous flow of funds into brokers
loans frightened credit conditions, inter-
est-bearing investments suffered heavily.
The Reserve banks frightened credit still
further by throwing Government securi-
ties on the market.
The very severe decline in bond
prices (bond yields reverseD which oc-
Cured during the early months Of 1928
has been repeated during the past few
weeks. The chart shows that during
both these periods the Reserve banks sold
great quantities Of Government securi-
ties In an attempt to tighten credit
and thus prevent the now of Reserve
funds into brokers' loans. Their SELL
Ing was halted last week. just prior
to the Treasury offering, and only flu
ture bank statements can tell whether
they are definitely through selling.
As long as money rates remain at
present high levels there seems to be
little hope that bond prices will rise,
despite their present bargain levels ana
attractive yields. II the Reserve banks
continue to sell Government securities
there is even less chance of q broad
rise In the hnnd market
Future Bond Prices.
Ordinarily, however. when security
prices decline sharply high-grade bonds
decline only about one-quarter as far
as high-grade stocks. Since bonds
have already suffered an average drop
of S per cent from their highs, further
sharp declines are held improbable,
even If liquidation in the stock mar
ket takes place.
Furthermore. when money rates
finally do decline bond prices should
rise. Undoubtedly it is because of this
situation that Secretary Mellon and
other conservatives are today recon-
mending investment in bonds rather
than In stocks.

BY KENNETH S. VAN sTRUM.

NEW YORK, March pat this
time, when the future of the stock mar
ket seems rather uncertain, there is
general tendency to point out the more
generous yield and greater stability of
bonds.
Two statements are often made. how
ever which do not seem to fit together.
In the first place, it is inferred that be-
cause of the spread between the yield
on high-grade bonds and on most
stocks, bond prices may be expected to
rise as investors realize this fact.
This seems rather far fetched how
ever, for yields on stocks have been
falling for the past year, while bond
yields have been rising. 1t is also stated
that money rates will probably remain
high or perhaps rise still further. II
these two forecasts materialize we
would have falling bond yields and arm
or rising interest rates.
Stocks Forecast Business.
In recent months the differences be-
tween stocks and bonds have been es-
pecially well demonstrated. In a broad
way stocks are dependent upon money
rates simply because credit Is needed to
create bull market In stocks. But the
| final Weld on stocks Is impossible to de-
| termine, since 1t Is dependent upon
! future business conditions.
When business prospects are bright
stock prices rise; when they are poor
prices fall Thus. although tight credit
/ NAV act as a damper to speculative
enthusiasm, the stock market Is more
affected by business prospects than by
money rates.
Bonds Reflect Credit Conditions.
| On the other hand, when one invests
| In bonds there are fewer uncertainties
as to yield. A certain yield may be re-
lied upon from any high-grade bond
The problem of investing in fixed return
securities. therefore, resolves itself into
a decision between bonds and any other
form OF investment where the yield Is
equally definite, such as commercial
paper bank acceptances and call OF
! time loans There is close relation
ship between these forms of investment
so that here. much more than in stock
buying, the investor must watch money
rates.
That bond prices do move in close
sympathy with money market condl-
tons is apparent from the chart, when
shows the average yield on go high
grade bonds, together with the rate on
time money.
Time loans made against stock and
bond collateral are for q definite period
of time as contrasted with call loans
which are "callable" at any moment
Not only during the period shown on
the chart, but for a much longer period
bond yields have never fallen materially
unless time money rates were also low
or falling.
