NEW YORK, June 10.-With
dealings down to low ebb, the
stock market moved irregularly in
the first two hours Of trading to-
day. The course was reversed sew
eral times and around noon a
quiet, steady rally was under way.
The opening was irregular, fol-
lowed by further declines until the
end Of the first half-hour, when it
was announced New York Central
railroad directors had declared the
regular quarterly dividend. This
piece Of good news Immediately
brought a rally, led by Central,
which spurted to 84h, up Az
points net
The market was carried up in a
few minutes, only to fall back to
around the opening levels before the
end of the first half-hour. A
rally then set in which held through
noon.
Steel Tonnage Drops
Steel common touched 99% on the
rally and near noon was holding at
1875, up p from the previous close.
american Can was in demand, rising
27s points to 1O2. Gains ranging to
more than a point were scored by
Westinghouse Electric and other
leaders.
Mechanical refrigerator stocks
moved up, featured by Servel which
made new high on the movement
st 1919, up IA and within frac-
ton of its best price Of 1881.
Railroads recovered from their
lows. Utilities moved ahead to net
gains of fractions to more than
point with the best showing in Con-
solidated Gas, North American,
Electric Power & Light and Federal
Water Service. Oils held steady with
the exception of Sinclair which
dropped nearly point to on
omission Of the regular dividend
due at this time.
Trade Turns Dull
Trading turned SO dull that tick
ers barely moved. Traders were
awaiting the monthly report of un-
filed tonnage for United States
Steel Corporation as of May 81.
This was expected to show a reduc-
ton ranging upward to 100000 tons.
The report showed drop of 277,-
277 tons from that Of April 80,
figure that could be considered in
line with expectations.
Steel had been carried to S99l at
noon. When the report came out
the first impulse was to sell and
the issue dropped to 80. 1t then
lowered between the latter figure
and 8915 Trading showed no dis
position to pick up, but the general
list held firm.

THE TAX PROBLEM

Farm real-estate taxes showed a
slight decline in 1880 for the first
time in the II years covered by the
records of this department. Taking
farm real-estate taxes per acre in
1913 as base represented by 100, the
index for such taxes was 249 in 1880,
as compared with $50 in 1929. In
amount the decline was insignificant,
but it indicated halt in the long
upward trend. 1t did not bring any
measurable relief to the farmers be-
cause agriculture's capacity to carry
the burden declined far more. AS we
know it today, the farm-tax problem
is largely a development of the last
decade and half. Taxes increased
steadily from 1920 to 1929, inclusive,
though farm earnings were low and
farm valuations persistently declined.
The situation was bad enough before
the current depression began. 1t is
critical now, says the United States
Department of Agriculture.

Farm population in the United
States showed a net increase in 1880
for the first time since 1922, when the
Department of Agriculture began
making annual estimates of the num-
Der of people living on farms. From
other data it appears that the indi-
Gated increase in farm population last
year was the first annual increase in
two decades. For January l, 1881,
the estimate of farm population was
27,430,O0O, as against 27,222,000 on
January 1, 1880. During 1880, it is
estimated, 1,543,000 persons left the
farms, as compared with 100000 the
previous year. On the other hand,
1,392,OOO persons went from cities to
farms in 1880, as against 1,257,0 in
1929. Hence the net movement from
farm to cities was only $4,000 in
1880, as compared with from $4,000
to 100000 in the other years since
1921. On farms, however, there is
a considerable surplus of births over
deaths. The surplus in 1880, it is
estimated, was $4,000 persons. Bal
ancing the gains and losses for the
year, leaves a net gain in farm popu-
lation of 208,000 persons.

MORGAN WILL REFUND
BONDED INDEBTEDNESS

The village of Morgan is arrang-
ing to refund its bonded indebted
ness Of $4,000 to the state of Mime

and funds accumulated over a period
of years so the bonds can be retired.

KANDIYOHI COUNTY BUYS
ISLAND FROM UNCLE SAM

Kandiyohi county is now the owner
of famous island in Norway lake,
over which there has been a contro-
versy for several years. Forty-two
persons took refuge on this island for
three days in the Indian uprising in
1862, and the county desired to own
it. Through the effort of Senator
Shipstead and Congressman Kvale, a
patent to the property has just been
issued to Kandiyohi county, on the
island. The government must be paid
$3.O6 for the island.

farmers plow and disc their fields to
destroy the eggs, the plague will be
much more extensive than it was in
the 1881 crop season, when crops in
many counties were destroyed. Late
fall rains in Redwood county are ie-
ieved to have lessened the damages
here. The theory is that eggs SOAK
up the moisture and burst when they
freeze.

The first and second all-star elevens and the attending list of those honorably mentioned rep resents a concensus of opinions contributed by James Murphy, Fordham halfback; Jack Price, Army tackle; Stan Yudicky, Dartmouth end; Ralph Hewitt, Columbia quaterback; George El- lert, Syra cuse end, and Cyrus Marter, Bucknell tackle. Each was captain of his team during the season just closed.
 Of the schools represented in the all-star selections, only Buck nell University of Lewisburg, Pa, the past season. In addition to be- ed a season without a defeat. The Bisons were tied twice and fin ished their campaign with bril- liant victory over the previously unbeaten Fordham eleven. The Pitt Partners, groomed by Dr Jock Sutherland, were undefeated in games with eastern opponents, but dropped one intersectional game to the Notre Dame eleven.
 Nine Colleges Represented
 The first team has been drawn from nine colleges, with only Co., lumbia and Dartmouth winning two places. Six other colleges gained second team awards.
 None of the captains made an attempt to distinguish a player as honorary captain of the mythi- cal team. They left that to me, or, better to you. My choice for the first team would be Jimmy Murphy and for the second team Barry Wood.
 Murphy was the sparkplug of Major Cavanaugh's outfit during thepast season. In addition to be- ing a splendid trfpe-threat per- former, he was an Inspiring leader for the stubborn Ram defense. Wood was the directing genuis of Eddie Casey's Harvard team. He will be honored on. many eastern and All-American selections, but the captains who collaborated on this selection evidently believed Crickard was the better man.

 The basketball league termed the "Lpafers" league got under way last night and much enthu- siasm was shown. With six teams being represented, taking in nearly 50 members, real basketball was displayed.
 one of the most exciting games was the Loafers and the Yo-Yo twisters. Gibram and Grant dis play wonderful defensive work be- sides being high scorers for their team, while Cerslo Palmoski, Treece and Poscavase pull their team from behind,
 The Hoboes and Idlers game was the top-noteher for the Idlers held the Hoboes to only three points in the second half. Liilibridke scored a foul shot with twenty seconds to play.

The tournament, arranged for the Owen D. Young committee on unemployment relief, pairs Yale, an eleven which shaped up as one of the best in the country in de- feating Harvard and Princeton on successive weeks; Dartmouth, a thrill-maker in every start; Holy Cross, beaten only by Dartmouth; and Brown, always threat 70 strong opponents: &
 How It's Done
 Yale and Holy Cross and Dart mouth and Brown have been paired for preliminary games Of two 12-minute periods, with a flip of the coin to decide which game will lead at one o'clock. A win- ner will be named for each game. with a board of judges selecting the winner in event either game ends with a tied score.
 Winners in the two preliminary games will meet in 8 championship final, also of two 12-minute per- iods, with the judges sitting to de-. termine a winner In case of a dead lock. .
 The tournament, and the ss'no tie" arrangement are novelties m the east. A crowd of between 3b,- 900 and 45,000 is expected to view the experiment, although rain feil heavily yesterday and ciouoy weather Is predicted throughout to- day the Yale Bowl gridiron has been protected by 9 rubber cover and ie in fine condition for play.
