Bond Market Breaks

Selling in stocks was accom-
plished by a declining bond market
and a break of more than cent a
buShel in wheat,
There was no tangible reason for
the selloff except that the market
had been carried up sharply and
was due for a technical setback
Traders paid little attention to
Washington articles stating the adj
ministration was watching the
course of stocks with a view of
checking speculation. 1t was rea-
soned that stocks would continue
to rise as long as commodities adj
vanced and the administration
stated purpose was to raise COM
mOdities.
Dealers in foreign exchange still
felt initiation had not ended as a
potent factor and sold the dollar
Commodities which usually rise in
response to such development were
subjected to proft-taking and
eased off with wheat.

Blaze at Capitol
Causes Excitement

Considerable excitement pre-
vailed In Bismarck about 8 O'Clock
Thursday afternoon when the
city's fire trucks sped to capitol
hill-but there was no need for It.
Only the wood protection
around the base Of the water
tank north Of the old capitol
building and new structure was
burning, and as the Tribune went
to press 1t was apparent damage
would be slight.
Just how the fire started Is Q
mystery, but 1t Is possible the
blaze resulted from q heating sys-
tenn used to keep the water pipes
warm.
The tank, about 200 feet north
Of the new capitol structure. Is
owned by the state and was built
to furnish water pressure for the
old capitol building.
