ATTENTION SVEN ID PROBLEM RELEASING
 SALMON FROM HOOK

The matter of releasing small salmon from trolling hooks is one to which troll fishermen have been giving increased attention. They reaize that it is all to their inter est carefully to release such sale mon, as they are not marketable and, returned to the water unin- jured, they will live and grow and bite as a worthier fish, reports the Pacific Fisherman.
 Capt. J. B. Brandt, owner of the Astoria troller Anna B., has given 8 lot of thought to this mat ter and has some good ideas on the subject. He declares it is not at all difficult to return small Chinook salmon to the water un- injured if they are handled pro- perly.
 Capt. Brandt explains that most undersized salmon which are lost after release die either of bruising or internal injuries due to impro- per grasping and holding of the fish while being released from the hook. He also calls attention to the well-known fact that most fish bleed heavily if graSped about the gills, and a bleeding fish usually dies or becomes an easy object of prey.
 To hold the young Chinook pro- perly, according to Capt. Brandt, it must be grasped belly up, so that the middle of the back lies in the palm of the hand In this position the fish will wriggle very little, if at all, and the hook can be removed carefully and with the minimum loss of blood. This hold can not cause bruising or inter nal injury to the fish. By using this hold in releasing the small salmon, Capt Brandt claims that about 90 per cent of the hooked fish can be returned to the water in good condition. Many other trollers have had equally good Suc- cess with this method, he says. l In the case of Silver salmon the problem is more difficult, as he finds Silvers will wriggle in any position or hold.
 If all troll fishermen would handle their undersized fish in this manner" Capt. Brandt says, there would be little chance for the criticism so often heard that
 the troller's hooks kill off the small salmon in the ocean, Even
 at that, one seldom sees that
 worst and most destructive of all
 forms of releasing fish from the
 hook -snapping them off with a jerk of the line-for the veteran
 troller knows he must save the
 salmon for his own good.'

Baltimore Markets
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE. Md, May 16.-Under
more liberal sales en- the exchange
coupled with moderate receipts. the egg
market has shown a better tone the
past week and Is holding steady at II
cents dozen for nearby firsts, an adj
vance OF one-quarter of a cent a dozen
over the opening price Monday. Only
fresh laid, well graded stock will bring
top prices, as considerable of the re-
ceipts are going into storage and buy
ers are critical as to quality. Street
sales for consumtive purposes are I'M
important at the moment, the demand
being limited despite the lower values
prevailing. Shippers are advised not
to hold their eggs, shipping in single
case lots being preferred to larger ship
ments where stock has been held and
all eggs net grading firsts under the
candle are not wanted and have to be
sold at discounts.
The general live poultry market con-
tinues easy on all lines with the ex-
ception of Springers, two pounds and
over, which move out readily, but all
thin, understood stock has to be sacri-
feed at uncertain values. Bareback
Spr1ngers are hard to move on this
market and will not bring top prices.
Mixed colored Springers, two pounds
and over, are bringing 36 to SO cents
pound and smaller 80 to IS, but Leg
horns are not so desirable and will
not bring over % to 80, with stock
under two pounds selling mostly IS to
81. The market for old hens holds
steady. but is slow to show any i'm
provement in prices under fairly lib
eral receipts and only fair demand
prevailing for medium-sized stock Old
hens, 81. pounds and over. sell mostly
81 to %, but Leghorns will not bring
over II and 10. while all poor, thin
fowl is neglected at IL to IA
Old ROSTERS continued in liberal re-
ceipt and under only limited demand,
the market is easy and in buyers favor
at IL to Is. Demand for ducks has
eased of the past week and is conferred
on choice fat young stock with COM
mon old thin ducks hard to place and
the receipts being mostly of this sort
as the aftermath Of the laying season.
Young ducks, 4 pounds and over, are
bringing % to IS. but old ducks are
generally neglected at IS TO 20. Guinea
fowl and pigeons IN generally light
receipts and the market holds steady
at so to rs for the former and 80 to
50 pair for the latter.
The market for old potatoes con-
tinueS very quiet despite lighter re-
ceipts and moderate demand and
values show no change from last week
at l.60 to Les per 100 pounds. but UNI
graded, mixed potatoes will not bring
over 1.25 to 1855.
Sweet potatoes and yams show no
change from last week, receipts being
ample for the demand at $50 to 400
barrel, but mixed stock will not bring
over 200 TO $50.

GENERAL METALS
TREND IMPROVES
Steel Market Affected Favor
ably by Activity in Auto
Industry.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 16-The steel
market was affected favorably during
the past week by reports of continued
activity OF the automobile industry and
the outlook for improved demand for
structural steel. Larger shipments of
the latter, pipe lines and bars were re-
ported, but buying by railroads and de-
mand for seasonal lines was less active
The recent steadily decreasing rate of
ingot production was checked to some
extent by the generally steady demand
although continued weakness of scrap
was an unsettling factor The pending
award of a contract for a 5s,O0ot ton
bridge over the Mississippi River at
New Orleans is the outstanding new
structural project. Recent reductions
of pig iron at Buffalo attracted i'm
proved inquiry, but the market is gen.
orally quiet
Foreign demand for copper improved
following a reduction of ne-fourth of
cent in the export price, but domes-
tic buying continues on a small scale
Large producers reduced their quota
ton for electrolytic from 90 to ga
cents. delivered in the Connecticut VAL
ley, but custom smelterS continue to
quote metal on the basis Of 8 cents.
The April statistics revealed a sharp
increase in refined stocks owing to
smaller shipments, and with large sup
plies available, domestic fabricators
are not disposed to anticipate require

Tin has been quiet and slightly
steadier owing to decreased selling
pressure. Buyers have limited pur-
chases, however, pending outcome of
the International Tin Conference now
in session at The Hague. where It is
said ACCESSIBILITY of further curtaiI-
ment Of production will be considered
Recent reductions in lead prices at
tracted improved demand early in the
week, although buying tapered of later.

business having improved their posi-
ton.

BONDS ARE F|RMER
FOR MODERATE DAY
Tone Generally Steady, With
Some Advances Recorded
in Trading.
BY ALEXANDER HENDERSON,
: Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, May 16--Trading in
the bond market today was of the
usual moderate week end proportions,
but the tone of most issues was steady
and gilt edge obligations continued
firm to higher.
The fourth Liberty 414s reached a
new all-time high record at 1o4 31-32
and United States Treasury Is Of 1914
81 hit new 1881 peak at 100 4-32.
Other bonds of the Federal Govern
ment were generally higher although
the turnover in several of them was
small and no sales of any kind were
recorded in others.
Strength appeared also among high
grade corporate obligations. Albany &
Susquehanna 3l2s. American Sugar
Refining IS, Consolidated Gas of New
York 5l2s. New York Central 4l2s of
20fS, Norfolk e. Western As of 1e44.
Southwestern Bell Telephone SIS. and
Union Pacific first As and IS of 1868
were representative of the high-grade
issues to close higher. Some of this
group reached new high levels for this
year.
Price movements throughout the list
we're generally narrow. Phillips Pc
troleum 54s were an exception and
lost much of their recent advance,
closing Al points lower at so. General
TheaterS Equipment IS and Interna-
tional Match convertible SIS made some
sharp gains. Lorillard debenture SIPS
equaled their old high in steady
trading.
Fluctuations in foreign bonds were
not so wide as frequently in the recent
past. Net changes were divided about
evenly between gains and declines
Private cables from Argentina reported
conditions there as improving.

New York Cotton

NEW YORK, May Is tR.-Better
weather in the South, relatively easy
Liverpool cables and the unsettled rul-
ing of the stock market were reflected
by further declines in cotton today
Moderate rallies on some trade buy
ing and week end covering during the
middle of the morning were not main
tanned and the general market closed
barely steady at net declines Of 8 to Is
points.
The opening was steady, 2 10 8 points
lower under some overnight selling
orders attracted by the developments
of yesterday. These appeared to be
supplemented by some local and foreign
selling on the reports of good weather
in the belt and the relatively easy
showing of Liverpool. The early offer
ings were quite readily absorbed by
week end covering, while there was
also considerable trade buying, presum-
ably to Ak prices on call cotton. This
stifYened the market up during the mid
die of the morning. with active months
selling back to about yesterdays closing
quotations, but prices weakened again
in the later trading. May sold of to
0.25 and December to 1901, making net
losses of IL to II points, and the close
was within a point of the lowest for
the day and season.
Selling was supposed to be partly in
anticipation of improved crop reports
as result of the better weather, while
there also appeared to be some Wall
Street selling, which may have beer
influenced by the action Of the stock
market
Liverpool cables said that continental
and Bombay liquidation in that market
had been absorbed by trade calling and
covering at the decline. Spot sales CT
10000 bales were reported in the liver

bales of Russian and only 1000 bales
of American cotton.

FOR OIL PRODUCERS
Contraction of Supply of Best
Crudes May Bring Stable
Conditions.

TULSA, Okla, May ia severe con-
traction in the supply of the most de-
sirable grades Of crude oil Of the mid
continent fields may bring about the
long-sought stability to the oil markets
within the very near future.
Pro-ration in various fields and the
pinchin2 back of wells in the Oklahoma
City field have brought the daily aver
age production this week down probably
100, 900 barrels. Output Of the newer
oil region is now close to the $50 900
barreB daily prescribed by the Texas
Railroad Commission and generally
agreed on by the Operators Commit
tee. Two weeks ago output was $50, 900
barrels.
A large portion of the reduction in
the East Texas area was effected last
week. but due To larger output in the
Oklahoma City field the reaction on the
national output was not reflected. As
allowable production In the latter area
is based upon a monthly total, last
weeks output OF 100000 barrels. which
| exceeded the allowable by 1000 bar
rels, has been adjusted this week to the
required 10000 barrels.
Because of the adjustment in these

supply of fresh oil this week may more

months ago, when the largest weekly
contraction, totaling 100000 barrels

TRADING ON MARGIN
SCORED BY EDITOR
Stock Fluctuations Said to
Hurt Bonds and Prevent
Much New Financing.
Special Dispatch to The star,


NEW YORK. May Unemployment
for tens Of thousands of men now idle
and relief from the present business
depression would already have been pro-
vided by the railroads and public utility
systems of this country, according to
Gage p. Wright, president of the Bust
ness Economic Digest, were it not for
the practice of security trading on mar
gin permitted upon the New York Stock
Exchange. Expenditures for replace
n1entS, extensions and betterments
involving literally billions of dollars
have been deferred because of the con-
dition of the market for second grade
bonds, says Mr.. Wright, and this con-
clifton is directly attributable to the
practice Of marginal trading
II do not know whether Melvin A.
Iraylor, president Of the First National
Bank OF Chicago. had this in mind
when he told the American Banker
Association the other day that marginal
trading should not be permitted in
transactions involving less than $4,000
each, but I am entirely in accord with
this idea. Were all trades up to $4,000
made for cash, much financing which
has been held of the second grade bond
market would have been effected ere
this" said Mr. Wright.
Just how marginal trading may
fairly be. held responsible for these
conditions Is apparent If We follow tbs
influence of this form of transaction
through its course. Marginal trading
Is one Of the chief contributors to spec
tacular fluctuations in the list of stock
quotations. This is true because stocks
held on margins respond more readily
to bear drive and. as margins arr
wiped out, what might otherwise have
been no more than a steady decline
had stocks been owned outright be-
comes rout. The effect of such sharp
declines upon the second grade bond
market is strong.
For example, there have been nu-
merous occasions in the last II months
when the second grade bond market
strengthened and became more ACTIVE.
only to be pulled back by sudden COL
lapse IN stock prices A good second
grade bond market can exist coincident
with weak and declining stock list
but it Is too much to expect that 1t
should gather and maintain strength
while the stock list INDUCES in such
nose dives as it has been treating us to
in this period. And a weak market for
second grade bonds means an expensive
market for the kind of financing which
the railroads and public utilities desire
to do
