Reason

CHICAGO broadcast an official
~ New Years resolution not to
enforce the liquor law when the
head of her police force announced
that it was safe to violate it while
watching the old year out, so long
as it was done in an orderly man
ner."
Surely ChicagoS failure to en-
force any law is not SO sensational
as to demand such proclamation,
but such a proclamation was blow
below the belt of law and order by
one paid and sworn to uphold it.
Bootleggers are patriots alongside
such officers and the officers should
wear stripes, not stars.
American politics lost it's most
colorful figure when Governor
Smith left the Albany statehouse
and New York said farewell to the
greatest chief executive she ever
had, and this means greater than
Cleveland, Roosevelt or Hughes.
Elihu Root, greatest living Repub-
lican said Smith knew more about
the government of his state than
any other man.
Since he so vociferously insists
that all the rest of the people
should obey the Volstead law, the
Rev. John Roach Straton of New
York City should not have violated
the speeding law in Maryland.
The inference is that he would
violate the Volstead law, if he did
not approve of it.
So many priceless paintings are
now being dug up in out of the way
places that it is up to all of us to
take a week off and ransack the
cellar and garnet.
During the last week we've seen
the pictures of half a dozen bald
headed scientists carefully pouring a
few drops of acid from one thing
into another, each drop of which is
said to be sufficiently deadly to ex-
terminate a city.
These fellows used to- give us cold
chills, but we are beginning to
suspect that they are spoof1ng us.
This order of the government of
Haiti, forbidding outsiders to stay
more than thirty days, will drive out
all the plumbing statesmen, for you
couldn't hope to sell baslltab there
in any such time.
This senate subcommittee which
is investigating political appoint
ments in the south reports that
Dixie postmasters paid $4,000 into
the Republican campaign fund.
What of it? Practically all ap-
pointees of all parties always have
made such contributions and they
always will.

CHICAGO, April 11.--Wheat prices
here turned upward today after an
Irregular start. An unexpected advance
In wheat quotations at Liverpool, to-
gether with reports Of more demand
there and OF drought in India, tended
to strengthen values here. Opening at
y decline to " gain, Chicago wheat
later showed rise all around. Corn,
oats and provisions were likewise firmer,
with corn starting b of to Y up. and
subsequently holding near initial figures.
India furnished something OF sur
prise today with announcement that
rainfall has been insufficient for the
filling Of wheat. An immediate result
was rise in wheat quotations at Liver
pool, whereas decline had been looked
for. The drought advices from India
went hand In hand with word OF re-
newed buying Of Australian wheat for
shipment to India. Besides, dispatches
were received saying that European
weather was bad, French millers max
ing large purchases of foreign wheat,
and referring to smallness OF farm
stocks Of wheat In Germany. On the
other hand, domestic crop reports today
were favorable as a rule, with special
mention or benefit from rains.
Friends of higher prices for wheat
gave particular stress today to the fact
that wheat future deliveries were around
zoe q bushel lower than a year ago
and to assertions that this had dis
counted bearish features. 1t was also

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE remarks
Of President ]. j. Bernet Of the Erie
Railroad to his stockholders, regarding
the present difficulties Of financing In
order to carry on improvements, are
pertinent to the business situation as
well as to the conditions in the invest
ment market.
Mr.. Bernet Is quoted as saying: 1--WE
hope the bond market may improve and
we possibly may sell some bonds OF
some class of stock which we might
devise to obtain money to finance our
Improvement" The last large issue OF
Erie bonds was represented in $4,000
900 of refunding and improvement IS
brought out two years ago at 94E2
These bonds subsequently sold close to
par and are now fractionally below the
initial price. It would probably cost
the Erie 534 per cent, as o minimum to
borrow against long term obligations
today. It is doubtful even II the bond
market could absorb an offering at that
rate, Of the size placed In the Spring
of 1927.
on the board Of directors Of the Erie
Railroad are representatives Of banking
interests who should have clear judg-
ment Of the future Of bond prices. II
Is significant. therefore, that Mr.. Bernet
felt compelled to say: II doutb that the
board will try to sell any securities on
the present market. It does not seem
to be the day for 1t. hope before the
year Is out we will see better day and
we may find q market to justify selling
securities to take care Of the improve
mentS."
Aside from q few small issues of long
term bonds and q moderate amount
Of short-term notes the chief medium
for railroad financing recently has beer
through convertible bonds such as those
Missouri Pacific. In the first three
railroad bonds authorized, by far the
nature. The Erie statement suggested
something of the same sort, although
as no dividends are being paid or
either Erie preferred or common stocks
q convertible feature would not be Of
any immediate value. Years ago Erie
had several issues of per cent bond,
that were convertible into common
stock. The option on most Of them ex-
PRED without bringing great deal Of
advantage to the holder.
Considerable financing Is being post
poned indefinitely, as In the case o.
the Erie Railroad, awaiting q clearer
outlook in the money market. Although
it Is now apparent that the Fedora
Reserve Board has definitely taken the
position that 1t will not raise rediscount
rates there are few signs Of easier
money.

UTILITIES FEATURE

Metal Shares Also Prominent

BY HARRY H. BECKER.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, April 11-Speculative
operations on the curb exchange today
were marked by fairly vigorous strength
in utilities. in certain issues closely
related to the steel industry and in the
metal mining group. Movements In
those favored shares were in sharp con-
traSt to a condition Of neglect in the
case of most others.
With most of the flavor squeezed out
Of the Ford of Canada stocks during
the past few days, these participated
little in the improvement. In fact, they
presented a comparatively forlorn APP
pearance. The new B seemed to have
been ''pegged" between los and ITO. 1t
closed the day before at lot. Ford old
was down over IS points at one tilne.
The most interesting feature was the
urgent buying of utility issues, which as
a group displayed general buoyancy.
Electric Bond g. Share led the holding
company stocks, advancing nearly half
q dozen points and stimulating activity
at higher prices in the American Super
Power issues, Eastern States Power b,
Duke Power, Northeastern Power and
United Gas improvement. International
Telephone g. Telegraph steadied after
q weak opening and American Foreign
d Power warrants added substantially
to its advance Of the day before.
A number of industrial SpecialtieS
went up for specific reasons. Celanese
common climbed several points in
acknowledgment of the optimistic re-
ports Of its first quarter sales and profits
given out at the annual meeting. Ship
ments in the three months were three
times greater than in the same period
of 1928 and profits so per cent greater.
Gold Seal Electric made no response
to the announcement of a four-for-one
split up and the offering to stockholders
to subscribe to new common at $3.50 q
share. American Rolling Mills rose
sharply into new high ground.
Hiram Walker was unaffected by the
publicity given a suit brought by Con-
gresham in an effort to force the curb
to repay him for losses incurred in
transaction In the issue.
Continental Corporation, among
the financing concerns, held its recent
strength, which was partly accounted
for by announcement that representa-
tives of strong banking interests had
been elected directors. Goldman-Sachs
displayed moderate heaviness and
Trans-America was much Quieter.
Among the coppers Newmont featured
with 6-point recovery, while in the
low priced specialties holster Brandes
lost further ground. Aviation stocks
were irregular.

NEW YORK. April 1i.--President
Hoover's goodwill tour Of the Central
and South American countries, added
to Lindbergh's trip to Central America
and Ambassador Morrow's work In
Mexico, has concentrated attention on
the Central American republics as
never before.
Although commercial interests Of this
country have been active in developing
the Central American territory for
many years, the general public has
been inclined to underestimate the i'm
portance Of their work. Last year,
however, President Cutler Of the
United Fruit Co. estimated that the
Caribbean countries bought $187 ,000,-
900 worth Of agricultural products and
$204, 100000 worth Of manufactured
products from the United States.
American capital Is flowing into Cen
trail American enterprises at an In
creasing rate, and, naturally, greater
attention will be focused on those
companies which have pioneered In the
field.
United Fruit Company.
BY 1899 those companies dealing In
bananas were convinced that their
progress in the tropics would always
be uncertain unless they owned adequate
transportation facilities and unless
their properties were so widely distrib-
uted that the periodical tropical storms
and plant diseases would not wipe out
their entire properties. AS result,
many of the stronger companies oper-
ating in the countries bordering on the
Caribbean were absorbed in the for
nation of the United Fruit Co.

the same period of 1923.
Industrial activity Is expected to con-
tinue and expansions are known to
have been planned. The demand Is COM
ing from factories machinery manufac-
tlirers, shipbuilders and the non-ferrous
mine operators. Moreover, the needs Of
public sevice corporations are by no
means adequately provided for as yet.
This situation is heightened by the
remarkable Judgment which has been
used by the Southern pine and hemlock
producers, who normally supply the Mid
die West. They are keeping both pro-
duction and shipments below new busi-
ness. The call for mine timbers has
marked the resumption of operations In
the soft coal fields and this has been a
more dominant factor in the copper
and lead properties both in the Joplin
district and the intermountain zone.
