BIG ESCAPE FOILED
ATFLORENCE PRISON
S0-Foot Tunnel and Sawed
Bars Are Found At
Florence

Simultaneous with dis
covery that five convicts
had sawed through the bars
Of their cells in the incOrri-
gibles' cell block, William
Delbridge, superintendent of
the Arizona state prison to-
day found an 80-fOot tunnel
under the prison wall.
The timely location of the
tunnel, for which prison Of
ficials had searched three
months, blocked convict
plans for a wholesale es-
cape.
Entry into the prison yard
of any of the five who escap-
ed their cells was prevented
by extra guards who had
been posted around the cell
house last night. The prison
grapevine" had brought De-
bridge word of an impend-
ing break for liberty while
authorities were involved in
investigation of last Satur-
days departure of Charles
Rose. guard. and Dewey
ThurlO. robbery convict.
The men found at large
in the cell block were placed
in solitary confinement
among them Jack Hunter,
serving five to ten year
sentence for highway rob-
berry in Yavapai county, who
was one of nine convicts who
escaped by similar means
two years ago.
Discovery not far from
the cell house door, of the
entry to the laboriously pre-
pared tunnel, gave the plan
away.
The entry to the hurrow
was found under a pile of
tool boxes. In it was a buc-
ket and a coil of rope. Dirt
from the 80-foot hole appar-
emily had been scattered
about the prison yard,
handful at a time.
The tunnel, only large
enough in circumference to
accommodate the prone
body of one man at a time,
left 10 feet outside the west
prison wall, ending two feet
under the surface of a high
way. 1t had been carried
downward at an angle to
pierce two feet under the
six feet deep foundation of
the wall.
Delbridge with a tape
measure and flashlight, en-
tering the tunnel feet first
soon after its discovery,
charted its course to the out
side world. A few more
minutes d g ging the
superintendent estimated,
would have taken the tun-
mel to the surface.

Gates has been shown in all classes
of Government and municipal issues.
Liberty bonds are unusually weak,
with the fourth AIS off nearly l u

There has been general withdrawing

Bond Issue withheld.
A syndicate that had been negotiat-

large New York State municipality re-
duced its bid price twice. 1t was def
nitely stated that the effect of the
Washington situation would be to hold
up the proposed sale of from $75,000,-
900 to S100,000,O00 of New York City
bonds, inasmuch as the local authori-
ties have been figuring on offering an
other 4 per cent bond which specialists
in these bonds feel could not be sold
under present conditions. 1t was also
said that the New York State issue,

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, January 80 R0.-With
Argentine and Australian wheat eX-
ports increasing, grains averaged lower
early today. Authoritative announce
ment that the British government was
preparing q bill ordering a quota OF
British Empire wheat in all British
milIers' grists counted also bear
ish factor. Opening IS cents off to q
up wheat later held near to the INITIAL
limits. Corn started at IA cent de-
cline to 10 advance and subsequently
underwent a general sag.
Grain price rallies based on drought
advices failed to hold well, being largely
offset by the fact that European wheat
quotations were unresponSive. Inc
Argentine wheat visible supply showed
a considerable increase for the last
week. and Australian shipments were
also enlarged, amounting to more tnan
four times the total at this period last
wear. United States primary receipts OF
wheat, too, were much augmented, ag
gregating 100000 bushels, against
969 600 a week back and 5650OO on the
corresponding day of 1880.
Increased arrivals of corn in chicago
tended to check price upturns. Receipts
here today were 131 cars, compared
with l02 a week ago, but contrasting
with 292 at this time last year Hogs
on feed in II corn belt States were
estimated at 39,292,0 head, against
39,44O 900 a year ago. Oats were gov
erned by the action of corn and wheat.
Provisions showed Steadiness, respon-
sive to upturns of hog values.

UTILITIES STRONG
IN CURB ADVANCE
Short Interest Continues to
Cover Commitments on
Rising Market.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 30.-Pivotal
public utilities led an active and rising
Curb Exchange session today as a badly
frightened short interest dashed for
cover
American Superpower sprang into
prominence just at midday as two
blocks, one of 5000 and another OF
4,70O shares, caused that issue to score
a new peak for the year. Electric Bond
& Share which harbored the largest
short interest of any issue on the Curb
at the close of 1880, behaved rather
SedateIy today moving only point.
Cities Service at 18 merely reached its
previous close Ford Motors, Ltd, re-
sumed its advance. Cord Manufactur-
ing, which moves simultaneously with
Auburn Auto. reached a new high for
the year
Hydro Electric Securities, as result
of the strength of international issues
in London, was one of the first power
and light shares here to hit a new top.
Consolidated Gas of Baltimore bettered
as result of its earning report.
Pennroad Corporation, which is ex-
pected to show earnings approXimat1ng
As cents share in 1890, moved slight
" higher Noranda Mines featured
the metal division as it reached 10, its
previous peak. The stock is being
whirled by traders on its gold output
rather than its copper production,
which has been curtailed in line with
the agreement reached by world red
metal mines in December.
United Gas, which several times APP
peared in large lots, one of them for
4,500 shares at 103s, was the out
standing natural gas stock in point of
volume while Lone Star Gas with
gain of a point showed the widest
ductuation.
Dresser Manufacturing scored a new
high as a result of its improvement in
1880 earnings. Cooper BeSSemer,
another company benefiting from the
natural gas business, turned active.
Singer Manufacturing Company opened
off points at S38. Dixon Crucible
Company was down the same amount
at 100. Consolidated Laundries. which
has been resting recently. moved up
more than point and broke through
its high for 1880.

u. S. BONDS ARE DEPRESSED
DURING AGITATION FOR BONUS

conditions will come today when the
Treasury is to offer for bids, $4,000 900
Of three-months discount bills. Houses
and institutions that generally take the
largest proportion of this type of Gov
eminent paper said that the situation
in regard to the cash bonus would very
probably enter into the terms on which
they would contract to take this
Offering
There was considerable pessimism in
Wall Street today over the general
effect, not only on the market for Gov
eminent securities but on corporation
bonds and on the business situation, of
the attempt to ride the bonus bill
through this session of Congress. No
one seemed to have a very definite idea
Of how the Government could sell the
maximum amount of $3,400,000,0O0 of
bonds necessary to the carrying out of
the proposed bill or where a market for
them would be found One banker went
so far as to say that he did not believe
an issue of this size and fully tax
exempt could be disposed of at a lower
coupon rate than Az per cent.
Maturing Notes.
Obviously, the Treasury Department
will be embarrassed by the new turn
OF events in ref1nancing the 81 100, 00O,-
600 of 81 per cent Treasury notes
which mature on March Is and which
1t had been expected would be replaced
with part short-term and part moder-
ately longterm bonds and possibly at
lower interest rate than that on the
bonds which are to expire. Secretary
Mellon also calls attention to the fact
that in 1888 about $4,000, 900 of Liberty
bonds are callable and that the injec-
ton of another huge amount of Govern
ment paper into the market for Gov
eminent securities might seriously affect
the refunding of the 1888 bonds when
the time comes to take care of them.
1t is the general feeling. however, that
the problem now is the immediate one
of providing for funds to take care of
the current expenses of the Government.
This is becoming increasingly serious, as
the Treasury deficit is growing all the
time. Should conditions develop of as
unfavorable nature as some bankers
now declare to be possible, the long
term Liberties could be carried on to
their actual maturity date. What has
appeared to be an opportunity in an
easy money market to refund them to
the advantage of the Government would
consequently be abandoned.

BEARS FAIL TO BRING
OUT MUCH LONG STOCK
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, January 80. - The
heaviest selling in the last two stock
market sessions has been by brokerage
houses with Southern wires. This is
significant. 1t suggests that the large
bear operators who have gone to Flor
ida and to the Carolina and Georgia
Winter resorts have been taking advan-
tage of the change in the technical
position of the market, and also the
change in sentiment arising out of
conditions in Washingtonton, to test the
price level.
So far they have not be-n able to
effect much liquidation. In fact, their
results have been disappointing to
them. What has happened is that in
vestment buying has slowed down and
public inter st, which seemed to be
expanding after a fairly long rally, has
become qu.escent again.
