NEW YORK, March 25.-The widest
price movement In bonds today occurred
In the foreign department. These re.
fiected new political and economic de-
velopmentS abroad, which had the eff
feet of lowering the prices of German
and Austrian issues and of disturbing
holders of South American securities
who read of further revolutionary out
breaks in Peru.
The decline in Australian bonds eX-
tended from 2 and points in the 6
per cent and AZ per cent loans. This
is looked upon as in the nature of ar
adjustment, following the recent heavy
gains in these obligations. Gernafl
government Is were of "a in contrast
with slight advance in the 515s, with
the Prussian IS on IA. Brazilian and
Argentine issues were lower, but the
Peruvian IS held well, possibly on the
assumption that about all had hap
pened TO them that could affect their
price at the present low level.
In the domestic market the change.
were moderate and the volun ne of tran
sacticns was rather small. OBLIGATION.
OF the oil companies worked lower, es-
pecially those OF Phillips Petroleum So S
which were of nearly a point, and Pure
OH 5l2s. Texas Corporation SIS lost IL
point Sugar producing bonds were
steadier on account of the advance this
week in wholesale prices.
Weakness developed in International
Mercantile Marine IS, Inland Steel 4Ias
which lost point, and in international
Telephone AIS. Consolidation Coal S.
were up fractionally, with an s-point
rise In the past two days. Armour OF
Delaware 5 1zs were steadier. Junior
rails were slightly better in sympathy
with the improvement in railroad stocks
and the better carloadings reported fol
the second week of March.
There was little change In the list of
Government securities, this market hay-
ing temporarily discounted the expected
additional Treasury financing NEXT
month. Both issues Of Liberty bonds
were trifle lower and the long term
loans were heavy.
The prospect for much greater Gov
eminent financing than had been an
ticipated is again delaying certain cor
poration borrowing that had been near
the point Of completion. It is expected
that an issue Of SIS 200, 900 of first and
refunding per cent bonds will be Of
fered shortly by the Public Service
Electric & Gas Co. of New Jersey, which
will call $22,500,000 Of its FIRST 5 per
cent bends. The State of West Vir-
ginia today offered $1,000, 600 33z and
az per cent bonds at yields ranging
from 2.25 per cent to $50 per cent.

REPORTS
TRENDS AND PROSPECTS OF
LEADING ORGANIZATIONS.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The follow
ing is a summary of important corpo-
ration news prepared by the Standard
Statistics Co., Inc, New York, for the
Associated Press:
News Trend.
Freight car loadings, considered sig
nificant as an indicator Of industrial
trend, showed q gain Of 1923 cars for
the week ended March II over the pre-
ceding week to 734.262 cars. The en-
couraging nature of any gain shown in
such q report Is increased In this case
by the fact that the advance was more
than expected and more than the usual
seasonal gain for this week. In effect,
| it compensates. at least partially, for
the disappointing report for the week
before.
On the other hand, reports of Febru-
airy railway net operating income are OF
less favorable nature. In most cases
| the comparison with February. 1880, Is
! unexpectedly poor, although there are
/ individual exceptions, as in the case OF
| New York, Ontario g. Western.
Steel developments, particularly prices
and operations, are reported by the Iron
I Age as irregular in character. Advances
/ in prices Of bars, shapes and plates, an
| nounced last week, do not accord with
price weakness in fiat rolled products
Although the rate of operation for the
country remains unchanged from the
preceding week at 81 per cent, according
to Iron Age, output in some parts OF
the country increased, balanced by de-
creaSes in other parts.
| It is estimated that daily average
crude oil output for the country In
crease. for the week ended March 81
an unfavorable development. Further
| indication Of failure Of the oil restrictive
program Is found in tbs increase Of
r. Soline sto-ks and fuel oil stocks.
Electricity production, another i'm
portant economic indicator, showed 9
decrease for the week ended March 81

Road Grew Progressing
Rapidly With Oiling Job

The crew oiling the White Bluffs
Hanford road has made good progress:
since it started to work on the job
last week. Starting at the White
Bluffs end the oiling process has nov
reached the vicinity of Hanford and
barring unforeseen delays the jot
should be finished next week.
Travel of cars over that part of the
road first oiled has packed it dowr
fairly we'll although the surface Is
now covered by small round rocks
which have apparently worked to the
top but with enough traffic these may
be worked back into the bed of the
road
While the road is new and little
soft, motorists are urged to avoil all
travelling over it in the same place as
this has tendency to create rut. II
should all be packed down evenly.

LOCAL BOY TAKES NAVAL
CRUISE AS RADIO OPERATOR

A two weeks cruise as far south as
San Diego. California. as one of five
radio operators on the destroyer
BrOome, was a recent experience of
Philip Heath, a member of the Naval
Reserves and son of Mrs. M. M. Heath
If White Bluffs. The ship on which
Philip made the trip was one of a
fleet of six that left northern ports
July II and returned July Is, that
we're manned almost entirely by Ma
1al Reserve members. The cruise is
one made annually as a part of the
training of these boys.
Philips duties consisted of two a.
hour watches each day. He is very
enthusiastic about the work he has
chosen and expects to return to Sc
attle after the fruit season is over this
fall to perfect himself in it.

according to an associated press dis
patch.
Starting In the morning at Ellens-

bia Basin boosters, drove east by way
of Vantage and Quincy to Ephrata
and south through Neppei and Con-
nell to Pasco completing 200 mile
trip.
Congressman Frank Murphy of Ohio
chairman, declared the trip would con-
vince any man of the need and de-
servedness of the project. THE ira
gedy viewed on this tour. of blasted
hopes, thwarted ambition defeated
energy and work" he said, would
convert anyone Congressman Ed
ward T. Taylor of Colorado advised
that the state present a united front
in coming to congress. Divided opin-
ions and views at home will do more
to defeat the project than most any
thing else he commented
Congressman John w. Summers OF
this district presided over the dinner
served in Pasco in the evening, adj
dresses also being made by Congress
man Addison T. Smith of Idaho and
by B. B. Horrigan of Pasco. The party
