BLUE CHIP" MARKET
SEEN FOR THIS YEAR

That the stock market for the re-
mainder of 1880 will be "blue chip"
market was predicted by Victor Kafka
Of Throckmorton g. Co., members of the
New York Stock Exchange, in an adj
dress to investment bankers at the Mer-
chants Club, Baltimore.
New elements of selectivity have
come into the market" said Mr.. Kafka.
Stocks formerly were regarded as NOV
ing up or down more or less simultane-
ously and later they were regarded as
moving in groups, SO that the oils, rails
or utilities tiuctuated together, much as
has been the case in England Today
the blue chips or investment stocks
move as a separate group from the mar
ket as whole.
The buying power of investment
trusts and individual investors Is be-
coming concentrated on these blue chip
stocks, representing a cross section of
the various groups which formerly
moved independently. 1 estimate that
80 per cent of the portfolios of leading
American investment trusts represents
duplication among such issues. The in
vestment trusts, by focusing public at
tention on the better grade of stocks,
have done much to bring about this
new form of selectivity in the stock
market.
That this tendency has already be-
come we'll established is indicated by
the character of odd-lOt buying which
is taking place and which is concen-
trated largely on the high-grade issues.
Stock price averages are no longer in
dicative of the action of the market as
a whole, but are mainly indicative Of
the blue chip stocks from which those
averages are made up"

MARYLAND FERRY
HEARING MONDAY
|. C. c. viii Consider Pro-
posed Boat Line to
Cambridge.

Washington business will profit con-
siderably, in the opinion of Eastern Shore
business men, If the proposed ferry be-
tween Chesapeake Beach, Md, and
Cambridge, Nd sponsored by the Ches-
apeake Beach Railway Co., is given per-
mission to operate.
Hearings will begin Monday before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
on the companys application to estab-
lish such service. The distance across
the bay between these points is about
l6 miles, and mileage to Eastern Shore
points from this city would be cut from
"a to So miles, with corresponding saw
ing in time.
The Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore As
ISOLATION, composed of business men of
the entire section east of Chesapeake
Bay, has expressed the view that the
value of service which would shorten
the distance to Washington would be
inestimable. The Cambridge Daily Ban
ner of Cambridge, Md, is particularly
interested in making traffic improve
ments between the Eastern Shore and
Washington, on the ground that Wash
ington attracts many tourists, many of
whom drive into surrounding territory,
and that these visitors would be at
tracted to the Eastern Shore If it were
more accessible. BY establishing sec
ond ferry line across the bay. it is
suggested that an attractive circle tour
would be opened to motorists, who could
go one way via Claiborne-Annapol
and the other way Via Chesapeake
Beach and Cambridge.
The mayor of Cambridge, Earle w.
Orem. has expressed the view that the
new ferry would serve to bring many
Eastern Shore products into Washing
ton. In general, interest along the
Eastern Shore in making Washington
more accessible is very keen, and it
seems probable that considerable trade
would be brought to this city if the
new ferry went into operation.

WORLDS BEST HAY is GROWN
ON DRY FARM IN NEBRASKA
By the Associated Press.

by JnB ASSUCldtVu FteSS.
LEXINGTON, Nebr., April 5.-There
are many millions of acres of hay in
the world, but M. v. Gillette grows the
finest.
1t is produced on a 40-acre field where
buffalo used to roam.
Gillette won the worlds champion
ship at the International Live Stock Elk
position in Chicago.
The champion is "dry-land" farm
err living near Lexington. He says the
bale of alfalfa which won the honors
for him is little different from thou
sands OF other bales produced on his
farm.
Il have always been very careful
about the selection of my hay" he
says. Il don't produce much-l50 tons
a year at The most. But l insist that
any discoIored or moldy hay be ex-
cluded, and so my hay brings above
the average price
Gillette cuts about 40 acres of hay
each year. 1t nets a profit of about
S35 an acre. He alternatcs alfalfa and
corn. growing the alfalfa chiefly to re-
store fertility to his corn land. 1t is
grown entirely on dry" or non-irri-
gated land.

Against the Catholic Univer-

lowed by a 10 to 0 triumph over
