 It is thought by Mrs. Hooker that the amount of money collected VII! n9 slightly increased before the 'hH cf the wear. for as yet all of the i"t- tors sent out have not been return cd This is the situation almost every year. Sometimes not ''ntll tAe last minute do all Of the letters sent out return, either with the money or inc seals. Those who have not yet made returns are asked to do so al once SO as to help in chccNinS lhe sucord for the year.
 Of the money collected 50 per cent will remain in Berlin for uSe m rnmcdying tuberculosis conditions. The rest Wil revert 10 the stat" as sociation 10 be used by the latter m is state campaign. In past years the omount of work done by the nurS" committee has been commended. This year the plans include not only care of the present tubercular ln- fectcd but also work toward pfeVeh- tion of the spread of disease. This has already been tried out by pro- yidinr milk to the students of the Epnsineton Grammar school during their luncheon hour and at other times during the day. Children WHO attend the KrnsingtOn Granm"r school come from long distances as al rule. and many bring their lunch IS. In some cases students cannot afford to buy milk, and these are helped out by the fund from the visiting nurse committee.

Money and Prices


Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 6.-For
the third consecutive week the general
commodity price level has remained at
exactly the same point.
Under the surface is a tug-of-war.
Seasonal and other special factors have
been pulling many specific commodities
toward a higher price level, but the
big general pull of money and credit
has been toward lower level. Foreign
price weakness indicates that the condi-
ton in United States is general and
fundamental.
1t is easy to see that should any sub
stantial let-up in business activity occur,
a sharp general price recession would
follow.
Fluctuations in the general wholesale
price level and in the purchasing power
of the dollar are given below for the
United States for various periods, based
mainly on Dun's quotations. The

BOND
LIST TURNS DULL
European Group Benefited by
Prospect of Preparations
Settlement.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
II Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May Ga more conf
dent opinion expressed here and abroad
over a satisfactory settlement of the
reparationS debt question was reflected
today in higher prices for some OF the
European bonds that would be benefited
by a successful conclusion of the nego-
tiatiOnS.
German government rs were frac-
tionally higher and above prices that
have been ruling for the issue for sew
eral months. The strongest feature was
the French TIPS, advancing l Il points
to ia. Their range this year has been
between 1895 and lis. italian govern
ment and municipal bonds, Belgian and
Japanese as well as British government
and Colonial obligations we're steady.
The domestic convertibleS. which rep
resented over 20 per cent OF last week S
total bond market transactions, were
again active. with International Tele-
phone 4l2s up over 2 points and taking
leadership away from American l. G..
Chemical SIPS and American Inter-
national SIPS.
This group became reactionary at
midday when the stock market had a
sinking spell on account Of the rising
money rate.
With money renewing at 10 per cent
and the discount rate Of the Federal
Reserve Bank Of Kansas City raised
from Az to 5 per cent. there was not
much incentive for the high-grade bond
list to advance. Treasury issues were
slightly lower, with irregularity in the
railroad legal list. The fact that sew
eral bonds formerly legal were recently
disqualified for savings bank invest
mentS in this State has had a pro-
nounced effect on their prices Buffalo.
Rochester and Pittsburgh Alas declined
another point today to SO, which COM
pares with their high of the year of
ga New Orleans, Texas & Mexico
4l2S are off points and the SIS 4
points since the change in their status
was effected.
In the miscellaneous group bonds
that had substantial changes were In
ternational Paper IS, advancing about
a point; Florida East Coast SIS, de-
clining nearly points; Brooklyn Man
haitian Transit IS and Hudson & Man
haitian incomes each of "a. and Cuba
Cane Sugar rs, half point higher. Chi
