NEW YORK, April 16.-The manner
in which declining security markets
declining in volume as well as value
have hit the brokerage business is re-
vealed statistically today in the New
York Stock Exchange Bulletin. The
total number of branch Offices or mem
bers on April l was 1888 against ,447
on the same day year ago and con-
trasted with the peak of 1853 on jan
uary l, 1880. At the beginning of this
year member Offices numbered 1,347.
Non-member correspondents reported
Offices numbering 1914 on April which
contrasted with $3.50 year ago and a
peak of 3,508 attained December 81,
1880. At the beginning of this year
such Offices numbered 3468.
The average price of a New York
Stock Exchange membership at the
close OF March was Sl42,7 ,789 as against
S298, 667 in the same month of 1881. in
which 104 memberships were trans
ferred. In the first three months of
this year SO seats changed hands. With
the threat of increased taxation, how
ever, many members have disposed of
their seats thus far this month. Actual
transfers to date only number 8, but
there are 10 sales pending Memberships
in price dropped from $4,000 March
81 to $4,000 several days ago.

8-CENT WHEAT GAIN
HEARTENS FARM ERS
Rural Banks of Midwest Continue
Easy Credit Policy Toward
Customers.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY No

KANSAS CITY. Mo. April 16.-With
some hopefulness instilled into the farm
country by the upturn of 8 cents in
wheat. due to the poor crop report
and the Frightening Of Spring activity
the visibility area of the average COM
mun1ty Is somewhat higher.
While 1t Is true that the actual situa-
ton Of the producer is no better than
before, he does see a method of CASH
ing in on his holdover of wheat and
has hopes that what he harvests in
June and July will give him a profit
The effect on his credit is also en-
courag1ng, though, of course, a Door
crop IS not much on which to base a
revival OF business. But the mere fact
that one product promises to have a
stronger market has its influence on
the mental outlook of the farmer. and
anything that improves his morale is
beneficial.
Banks are endeavoring to meet the
suggestions that they shall extend
credit more freely and are encouraged
by the understanding that they are not
TO be penalized for failing to make
prompt collections of overdue paper
In every bank is grist of notes that
cannot be collected on short notice
Maybe they can never be collected. but
the makers must be given time to work
out the problem and in most cases il
is believed they will do so.
One of the interesting features OF
the rural population movement is the
tendency of retired farmers, who have
been living on the returns from their
farms which they left five years ago,
to move back on the land, feeling that
they will be better of and that they
can thus make living This naturally
turns out tenant farmers, who are
having rather serious searches for new
locations. The result is a readjustment
OF the rural population that, taken in
connection with the determination of
the man on farm to stay there and
not seek city labor, modif1es materially
the texture of the rural resident group.

COTTON is LOWER
IN QUIET TRADING
Small, Scattered Offerings Result in
Net Declines of Five to
Eight Points.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 16-Cotton was
quiet today with prices working grad
ually lower under scattered offerings
which appeared to be inspired by the
easier ruling of the grain and stock
markets.
A moderate demand from the trade
and some week end covering was
reported on scale down orders, but the
lowest prices of the day were reached
in the late trading with May selling
at 6l2 and October at 6.54. The

Heading the list, is the Males
tic-St. Mary's Celtics contest which
will be fought at Badgett's Sta
dunn, Alexandria, Va, at 8 o'clock
Sunday. This combat should be
interesting to every standpoint
because each club has ballplayers
of high caliber and managers that
are real go-getters.
For instance, take Howard
Wyche, manager of the MajeStics,
who is considered the John Nc
Graw of local sandlotS. He is al
ways looking for capable material
in an effort to bolster his team.
Here's an interesting yarn about
Wyche.
Signs Sam Hook
He heard that Sammy Hook,
prince of sandlot catchers, was
anxious to hookup with a strong
unlimited nine. He Immediately
phoned Hooks home. but the
backstopper was not in. This did
not discourage the determined
Howard B. Wyche. He went to
Hooks home the next morning at
S o'clock, and got Sammy out of
bed and signed him for the 1882
season.
Charlie Corbett, the Celtics'
mentor, is the sort of fellow
who doesn't say much but who
does plenty. The Celtics' roster
proves this point.
The game will be an suspicious
occasion for the good people of
Alexandria and the faithful Ma
jestic followers. They will see
real pitchers take the mound for

Howard Cantonwine moved into

available for top bouts at the
Griffith stadium this summer
when he flopped the skillful and
rugged Sander Szabo before $500
fans at the Washington Audi

Cantonwine, who has been APP
pearing here less than two

by dropping the Hungarian. The
latter fell victim to one of his
own holds, the back drop, but
Cantonwine applied it sideways.
Fans Pan SZabO
The match, which lasted but
.21h minutes, was fiercely con-
tested, with the fans diSapprov-
ing of Szabo'S Sleight-of-han work.
The Hungarian dealt out heavy
punishment to the Iowan, but
the latter seemed no worse when
it was all over.
The match between George
Calza and Frank SpeerS was a
dog-eat-dog affair, with Calza
winning by a deadlock in t812
minutes. Speers was the chief
offender in Sneaking over punches
with Referee Bonnie Bortnick's

TINE woman always pays! And
Il because of the TRULY of that
motto, Technical high school had
an extra rooter today and Tommy
Taylor, Tech athlete, is "two-
bits" head of the state basket
ball tourney.
True, the gain of one rooter
for Tech didn't help the Green
and White against Bosse of
Evansville, but it did ease the
physical as well as the mental
pain for Tommy as his hopes
went down to defeat.
Tommy, who has been confined
to a bed at Methodist hospital
since his spinal injury last fall
in football game with Manual
Training high school, won that
'two-bitS" today when he rooted
for Winamac over Lebanon via
the ether waves.
TINE radio has been Tommy'S
Il only means of communing in
spirit with his old school, but to-
day Tommy discovered opposition
in his room to his tourney Selec-
lions. Friday night the conf
dence of Techs team sounded in
Tommy'S ears as teammates said
they'd win.
"Winamac will beat Lebanon"
forecast Tommy.
''They WON'T" retorted Miss
Wilma Shaull, his day-nurSe.
''Lebanon's my home town"
How much you got to say they
won't?" argued Tommy from the
white bed.
1.-TWO bits" Miss Shaull replied,
"and we'll let this newspaper man
hear the bargain.
IF Lebanon loses, I'll be for
Tech from then on" offered his
nurse.
"It's a bet, and I'm going to
hear that game, too, even if I am
getting sleepy. You see, she gave
me some medicine to go to sleep.
She's trying to slip something
over" joked Tommy.

And, of course, the woman paid.
