Correction On
HOltville Bank

Through an unfortunate
error in the account of the
grand jury report published
in last nights issue of The
Press, under the sub-heading
"HoitviIle Bank, the phrase
First National bank of Holt
vile, now defunct," was used.
The error was caused by
confusing the First National
bank of HoltviIle, with the
Holtville bank having ceased
operations on September %,
1881.

 The Play
 Vests opening lead is the queen of diamonds from his queen, jack, ten which the dummy wins with the king, East playing the six and South, the declarer, the four. Declarer leads the jack of spades from dummy--while he has no intention of finessing. he might coax East to cover. Hold ing queen, ten, nine, East is as- sured of a spade trick any way the hand is played. He must cover the jack with the queen, and declarer wins the trick with the ace and swings his king of spades, West discarding small heart and East playing the nine spot.
 When West shows up with a singleton spade, the declarer re- ceives the information that un- doubtedly Vests hand is four-  four-four-on distribution. The declarer's only chance for game now is to strip the hand down and then throw East in the lead, so he plays small club and wins in dummy with the act. He then returns the seven of clubs, refus- ing to take the finesse, going right up with the king. He returns the jack of clubs, and when West plays the queen. declarer trumps in dummy with the four of spades.
 Declarer's whole play now hinges on the fact that West orig inally opened a four-card suit, so the deuce of diamonds is returned from dummy, declarer winning with the ace. He then leads his ace, king and queen of hearts, dis carding two hearts and a diamond from dummy, East following with three snAail hearts. Dec1arer then plays the deuce of spades from his hand and the five from dunn

LUMBER EXPORTERS
SEEK FOREIGN TRADE
British Empire Agreements Prove
Deterrent to U. S. Interests,
Says Commerce Department.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Domestic exporters of lumber are in
creasing their efforts to develop foreign
outlets
This is indicated by inquiries re-
ceived at the Commerce Department
which. during the first six months this
year. were double the number received
in 1929, peak year in lumber exports.
The department. in discussing lum-
ber said that trade agreements effected
among British Empire countries acted
as a deterrent on imports from the
United States into those areas. This
Is a development of much concern to
American exporters, as the United King
dom has long been most valuable
market for lumber Australia and New
Zealand have hitherto been of prime
Importance to West Coast producers.
Japan, from the standpoint Of footage,
has been the foremost foreign outlet,
and has materially increased its lumber
duties to protect the local industry,
while France, a promising market for
American hardwoods has instituted a
quota system.
The United States, the department
said, in many ways is in a preferred
position in connection with lumber eX-
port trade, in that it has greater
variety of species suitable for larger
number of uses than any other wood
producing country.

ADVANCE IN BOND
MARKET RESUMES
u. S. Government Issues
Lead in Upturn-Foreign
List Is Strong.
BY. F. H. RICHARDSON,

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 18.-Bonds ad-
vanced strongly today in heavy trading
The improvement was led by United
States Government issues, but there
were advances of point or more spread
through the domestic list. Foreign dol
lar issues were strong with the excep-
ton of the Germans.
The passage of the Glass amendment
to the home relief bill, and the belief IN
financial circles that President Hoover
will sign the bill, means that all Treas
ury long-term issues will be eligible for
backing the issue of about ST 900 600, 600
in new currency. This caused an abrupt
reversal Of last weeks downtrend in IS
and 31ss. based on the assumption that
the bill would not pass. Gains today rang
ed from about y point in Treasury As and
334s to l y to 3. points in Treasury IS
and 3lss. At the same time Panama rs
and Consol Is, which have hitherto been
the only Government bonds eligible for
currency backing, worked lower. Banks
that bought these bonds at premium OF 2
to 4 points found them quoted today
somewhat below those levels, although
there is not large enough market sup
ply to cause an abrupt adjustment.
Of rail shares and reports that prospects
for a few roads, notably the Chesapeake
g. Ohio, were considerably brighter
than a month ago. Chesapeake Cor
poration IS were firm. There were
gains in Southern Pacific 412s, Pennsyl-
vania 612S, Northern Pacific 6S, Mis-
souri, Pacific General As, Erie Refunding
SIS, st. Paul SIS and Boston & Maine
434s. 1nduStrials such as Sinclair Oil
Is, Shell Union Oil SIS, Goodyear IS and
Youngstown Sheet & Tube SIS and jun
ior utilities like Western Union SIS,
International Telephone SIS, American
& Foreign Power IS and Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit IS were narrowly
higher.
Some Of the outstanding gains in cor
poration bonds were in Canadian is
sues Canadian Northern rs sold up
nearly point and there we're gains in
Canadian Northern 612s, Grand Trunk
6s, Canadian Pacific perpetual As, Cana
dian National issues generally and, to
lesser extent, in Canadian Govern
ments. The fact that Canadian Ex-
change was inclined to be heavy was
evidence of the buying of Canadian
securities by Canadians. This, added
to the purchasing of prime Canadian
securities from Europe that has been
going on here for three weeks, has
brought the prices of these issues well
above their 1882 lows
German government issues were lof-
er. Young Plan 51as, which with Ger
many all but rid of reparations, will
certainly range again within an in
vestment basis, were today quoted about
Z points under their recent high. Dawes
reparationS rs, German industrials,
utilities and municipals sold off. Ger
man bank credits moved down l to 2
points.
Great Britain 51as were firm, reflect
ing the probability of some agreement
at the Ottawa conference on a form of
inter- Empire exchange control. Other
Europeans were unchanged to slightly
higher. japanese issues were firm.
South Americans regained to points
of the ground lost last week
