NEW YORK, February 21-Blanket-
ing all inquiries about opportunities for
selling short in the securities markets
at the present time. the Investment
Bulletin of the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute says:
with money cheap. industrial pro-
duction low, security loans debated and
year and a half of readjustment COM
pleted. short sales can serve no purpose
except mourning large risk for the
possibility of speculative and uncertain
gains.
Fundamentally conditions are those
which have preceded advancing rather
than declining markets. Industrial
production has been declining for the
past year: consumption has under
gone a severe reduction. In manufac-
ture and trade. business has been re-
adjusted to a rate of activity rejecting
depression. With these adjustments
stock prices have undergone def1ation;
the supply OF credit Is ample; security
loans have undergone great shrinkage.
The imminence of a buying zone has
been indicated by these readjustments
The one uncertain factor has been the
market itself first indication Of the
drying up Of necessitous or forced hqui-
dalton was afforded in December. The
action of the market since that time is
affording more confederation for the
conclusion that buying zone Is at
hand"

BALTIMORE, Md, February 21.-
The live poultry market continues
steady to firm under generally light
conferred entirely on large, smooth fat
stock. There is still scarcity of small
fat broiiing chickens, two pounds and
under, and this class of stock meets
with ready sale at a premium price
Turkeys in light receipt and under a
fairly good demand, large fat hers and
gobblers meet with ready sale, but
small, understood birds, as well as
crooked breasts, are not desirable and
have TO be sold at discounts. Hen
turkeys. 8 pounds and over, bringing
SO TO 40 cents pound, and gobblers,
IL pounds and over, SO to 38, but old
hens and toms Will not bring over 80

crooked breasts, are neglected at. 20.
Other Poultry Prices.
Young broiling chickens, pounds
and under, are scarce and wanted at
80 to IS, with mixed colored young
chickens bringing 81 to 20, but poor,
thin fowl, as well as bare backs are
not wanted at any price.
Old hens in better demand and the
market is shade higher at Is to "a,

over, but leghorns will not bring over

slips, not so desirable at 80 to IS.
Market continues firm for heavy fat
ducks especially Muscovy, which are
bringing top values at IS and 20 cents,
out stock under pounds moves slow
at ID to 20. Guinea fowl and pigeons
hold steady, with the former showing
an advance at so to rs each, while
the latter sells mostly at 20 a pair
for both young and old. Outside of
choice large capons, medium-sized
young turkeys and straight young
chickens, the dressed poultry market is
easy and other lines will not bring any
more than live stock.
Ths egg market shows little change
from last We k. receipts running mod
crate. but ample for the demand which
continues light and easily satisfied from
day to day. Dealers continue to show
preference for firStS instead of paying a
premium for memories, which unless
very fancy have to be sold at price of

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. February 21-The an
nual report of Richard c. Ross, Federal
agricultural statistician for Maryland,
reveals the extent of the damage done
by the drought to the livestock indus
try on the farms of the State in 1880
The value of the livestock on January
/, $780, was estimated at $3e,6l0 900,
q decline of $685., 900 during the year.
The failure Of crops and the con-
sequent inability of the farmers 10 feed
their cattle compelled the slaughter
Of many animals and the sale of many
others below their actual value.
The number of swine also showed
falling of, doubtless owing to the
same cause, and the number of young
heifers saved for milking showed a de-
crease of two thousand.

CONVERTIBLE BOND
/! ISSUES IN DEMAND
U. S. Group Is Quiet and
= Firm-AuStraIian List
+ Shows Recovery.
BY DONALD G. BOLES,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, February 21.-Only
mild interest was shown in bonds In
the short session today and most obli-
cations sagged in quiet trading.
For the third successive day there
was virtually no activity in United
States Governments, and prices held
close to the previous closing level. Legal
rails were steady to a shade lower with
wide fluctuations in issues selling far
below par. Utilities were more stable
and such issues as American g. For
eign Power SIS, Cincinnati Gas a. Elec-
trio Asa. Consolidated Gas 5 rs ano
Pacific Gas SIS, held firm.
The strong recovery OF Australian
bonds on top of sharp gains in the pre-
vious session stood out in the foreign
group, where irregular tendencies were
in evidence. Australia SIS gained 3
points and other bonds of that country
were on the mend.
A few of the popular convertibles
soined the rally of stocks, but advances
were limited to fractions IN most in
stances.
