NEW YORK. June 8.---The firmness
In high grade bonds today overshadowed
she reactionary tendencies in con-
siderable group OF convertible issues.
This bears out the conclusions
reached earlier in the week that the
money situation is now more favorable
to an advance in mortgage bonds than
1t has been in some time and that the
large buyers of such securities are again
showing a disposition TO accumulate.
The fact that the SIS per cent rate on
the new Treasury certificates has not
affected prices of corporation mortgage
bonds or Government securities is an
indication that investment interests are
we'll satisfied with the outlook
Strength was shown today in such
bonds as Union Pacific first As, Penn
sylvania 4l2s, Frisco As. Northern
Pacific IS. International Telephone 412s
of 1852 and North American Edison IS
and SIPS.
Nearly all of the convertibles we're
lower at the opening, These included
AtchiSon Alps, American Telephone
412s. American I. G. Chemical 5l2s,
American international 5l2s, Philadel-
phia g. Reading IS, Missouri Pacific
S1as and Commercial Investment Trust
Sias Some of these issues recovered
partially before the closing.
The final signing of the separations
plan occasioned moderate buying in
French and German issues.

NEW YORK.-June 8-Hedging OPP
erations in the stock market are as
summing broad proportions because of
the uncertainty in the credit outlook
and the Fall prospects for business.
Until a few months ago most of Wall
Streets large operators. except a few
confirmed bears and those engaged in
pool operations on optional stock. were
long of the market. and had relatively
few short accounts outstanding.
Recently they have been offsetting
their long purchases with short sales as
a protection in the event of violent de-
clineS and several of them have made
money on both sides of the market.
The extent of the short interest Is
usually determined by the borrowing
demand for stocks at the close of each
session Under stock exchange rules.
stocks sold one day must be delivered
the next.
Obviously. a trader who has sold a
stock short is unable to deliver stock
which he does not own. but he is per-
mitted to borrow the stock from an
other broker in order to make delivery
on his contract. The borrowed stock is
returned when the trader covers his
short contract or buys in the stock.
With the uncertainty recently over
hanging the market, an operator tax
ing a long position in stock which
he had reason to believe would appre-
ciate in value. has Offset this. either in
whole or in part, by selling stock in
the same group.
Or, he may sell stock in some other
group which he felt would be most
likely to decline in the event Of gen.
eral break in prices.

squatter who 80 years ago forced the
State to take a lemon" worth $40 =
900 900 or more.
The squatter had settled on a 160-
acre tract i'll Southern Minnesota
which was a part of the Federal Gov
ernment's school land grant to the
State officials told the State that it
would have 10. take instead 100 acres
near here or nothing at all 1t was
denounced generally as a bad deal for
the State.
Then, in 1891, iron ore was discov-
cred on the alternative tract, the Mis-
sabe Mountain Mine was launched, and
the State treasury began reception of
the largest flow of riches from any sim
gle source in the commonwealth.
An inventory just completed shows
that the lemon" has already paid
more than $4,000, 900 in royalties and
taxes. and is only half exhausted.
1t was only necessary to go a little
below the grass roots to get at the ore,
and open-p mining is possible with
rail tracks laid right into the 12O-acre
crater
Down in Southern Minnesota the
tract the State thought 1t was being
cheated out of is now worth less than
$4,000.

The draw bars which connect the

Sarily compelled to take the entire
strain between the locomotive and the
train, which in the case of q loaded
train is enormous. In this service
these bars become unduly elongated

they cannot be cut they must be
bumped" back into shape. This has
been done by raising them TO a height

chief engineer of a Western railroad

which does this humping with very

Although bitterly opposed, 1t
appeared today that Ex-senator
Irvine L. Lenroot (R) of Wisconsin.
win squeeze through by q narrow
margin In the Senate's fight over
his confirmation as a judge on the
United States Court of Claims.
A move to force consideration OF
Lenroot's case in the open was
defeated by a 1884 vote, and ad.
ministration leaders claimed ulti.
mate victory by about this same
ratio.
Lenroot is opposed by Republican
Independents and Democrats, prin-
cipally because soon after leaving
the Senate he accepted employment
by the so.called power trust, and
was influential in helping defeat the
Walsh resolution to investigate its
activities.
Originally nominated by Presi.
dent Coolidge, Lenroot's confihna.
ton was averted in the last Con-
gress. He was then re-nominated
by Mr.. Hoover. Lenroot was gen.
eral counsel for the Hoover forces
in the pre-convention campaign.
