REACTION IN BONDS
CARRIED FURTHER
Hiqh- Grade Issues Record
Losses as Selling

NEW YORK, March 12.-The reac-
tion in bonds, which has developed
after a month of continuous rally
went further today. 1t included not
only the speculative but the high-grade
issues and Government obligations. The
volume of transactions was equal to the
hourly average of recent full sessions.
In view of the heavy trading in them
Friday and their sharp declines, there
was keen interest in the action of the
Missouri Pacific issues. While they
showed more resistance, their tone was
heavy The general As sold at a new
low price for the movement, with quite
large offerings under 80. The 51as, in
which the widest speculative diStribu-
ton occurred, were down point.
Securities associated with them even
indirectly were weak, notably Alleghany
Corporation 5s.
Other junior bonds with heavy tone
were the Nickel Plate 5lRs, Chicago &
Northwestern 434s, Baltimore d Ohio
convertible 41as, Southern Pacific 4t2s
Frisco As and illinois Central 4%s.
International Match and aff1liated

ly soft, the latter declining 21a points
and registering q net loss Of nearly 9
points in the last two sessions. inter-
national Telephone 4las and 5s flrmed
UP, but Postal Telegraph SIS, on which
interest was not earned last year,
slumped fractionally.
The foreign list was irregular, with
early declines in the German govern
ment loans, followed by later recov-
cry but at the same time heaviness
in German industrial dollar loans and
in some of the municipals and bank
issues. The rapid rise In Argentine
government 6s this week developed
profit-taking in the first hour, but sub
ssquently prices in this group i'm
proved.
One incident Of the market was an
advance Of several points In st. Jo-
seph & Grand Islands 4s, which have
gained nearly 10 points this week and
are % points up from the low Of the
year.
Nearly all government bonds and
Treasury certificates were lower. The
losses ranged from Il to 4 point. This
was not surprising in view Of the pro-
longed and extensive advance in these
obligations.

STOCK BORROWING
AGENCY DISCUSSED
Wall Street Bears Are Finding Dif.
fculty in Short-Sale
Operations.
BY FRANK III. MCCONNELL,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, March 12.-The big
Wall Street bear Is not so cocksure to-
day as he was one month ago.
At that time he was inclined to the
conclusion that the latest New York
Stock Exchange restrictions on short
selIlng would be like tying his paws with
tissue paper. But developments this
week have caused him to shake his
lead in doubt.
rms doubt Is so strong that serious
consideration Is being given in some
quarters to the advisability of forming
a new corporation to borrow stock
against which bears could sell the mar
ket short. The proposal has been placed
before some brokerage authorities who
are debating whether the public will
be willing to loan stock so freely in the
future as in the past.
To the speculative bear, the answer
is vitally important. A short-selling
bear without borrowed stock which he
could use to sell would be as powerless
as foraging mountain grizzly without
leg power to drive him through a berry
bush.
The latest stock exchange restriction
provides that beginning next April l,
no stocks can be loaned by its members
to short sellers without the written con-
sent of the owners.
Form letters asking for such permis-
sion have been sent out by brokers in
the past week to thousands of Gus
toners. The answers are described as
varied and surprising. Some Wall
street houses state that the majority of
tnelr customers have already sent back
their written consent; other report that
1at reIusals have been returned in many
cases, and still others report that their
customers in a number of cases are
ready to lend their stocks provided they
are given cut on the premium or
charges which the brokers levy for this
kind of transaction.

COTTON PRICE VARIES
WITH EXCHANGE RATE
Fluctuations in Value of Pound
Have Affected Market Dur.
ing the Week.
By the Associated Press.

AS IiC RSsOClhLcu FTeSs.
NEW YORK, March l2-Fluctua-
tions in the cotton market here during
the past week have been attributed
largely to readjustments of differences
between the Liverpool and New York
markets due to the rapid changes in
sterling exchange. These naturally led
70 both the undoing of previous strad-
dies and the placing of new ones. but
the volume of arbitrage business tapered
on toward the end of the week and
the market became quiet, with the price
movement comparatively narrow In q
general way there has been buying on
the declines attributed to the trade
which has been a little more in eW-
dence around the 7-cent level for May
contracts, while buyers have shown
little disposition to follow up the ad-
vances.
The latter have met some Southern
selling or realizing and the market at
the end OF the week was quiet enough
to indicate disposition to await fur
ther developments, including later re-
ports as to the effects of this weeks
cold wave in the South.
Temperatures below freezing have
been reported over the belt, with the
cold weather extending down to the
Jun SOdot, anu IcpOItS reaching leI6
State that much Of the early-planted
cotton In the Rio Grande Valley will
have to be replanted. On the other
hand. the opinion has been expressed
in some quarters that temperatures
have been low enough in many sections
of the South to kill off some of the boil
weevil. and that this may react favor
ably on the coming crop.
The figures Of the International Cot
ton Federation on worlds consumption
for the first half of the season placed
the total Of American lint at 5,940 900
bales. against 5,278,0o for the corre-
spending period last year, and the con-
sumption Of all kinds at l,470 900,
against ll,164,000 last year These
figures seemed about in line with ex-
pectations and evidently failed of any
material effect on the immediate
market.

Ninth Annual Celebration Proclamation Again Issued
 By President and Governors of Many States

establishing May Day as a time | for special consideration of the needs of children. The general purpose of May Day this year." she adds, ''is to focus the spirit of sharing and of responsibility to- ward ones neighbors, on such points as the need of every child to be sheltered in its own home and share secure family life; to have the essential food elements in each days diet; to have an ade- Quate amount of clean and safe milk; to have plenty of sunshine, sleep, rest and recreation; and the need of every infant to be born healthy, of healthy mother, who will live to love her child and take care of her family. It is also the aim of May Day Committees to put into practice in every community the nineteen points of The Chill dren's Charter-the Magma Charta of childhod."
 Twenty-three states now have Child Health Councils working the year round in behalf of children. All states have May Day chairmen. usually the chiefs of the divisions of Child Hygiene, who organize state and local committees to plan community programs. The special observance of May Day itself has become an occasion for reporting the results of the past years eff forts in behalf of children and for inaugurating new steps which may be of particular value to the we'll being of the children in the com munity.
 Representatives of state and To- cal departments of health, educa- tion, welfare, labor and agriculture serve on the committees, and a whole army of active workers, pri- vate citizens, members of mems and women's clubs and child study groups give their assistance, Among the national organizations which take part in promoting May Day child health work are: Amer ican Association of University Women, American Country Life assoiciation, American Federation of Labor, American Federation of Organizations for the Hard of Hearing, Inc, American Home Economics association, American Legion, American Library associa- tion.
