Notice To The
Halloween Revelers

All of the persons who can do so
are urged 10 enjoy the mammoth
Halloween parade and celebration.
which will be held in Milford on
Wednesday night. October 81; for
never in the history of Milford has
such a stupendous spectacle been
planned for the public entertain
ment.
1t is desired, however. that all
form of malicious mischief be avoid
ed, the City of Milford welcomes a
joyous reveler, but vandalism is an
other item. Very little fun can be
had from wanton destruction of

mean tearing down fences, breaking
cellar windows, removing shutters
or steps. Good clean entertainment
is provided free for everyone, both
young and old.

Two Dairy Firms
Report Declines
In 1888 Earnings

NEW YORK, March 22.-Operating
results of the two leading dairy prod
ucts companies for 1888 revealed both
had been affected to approximately
the same relative extent by condi-
tions in the period. Borden reported
net equivalent to $1.o5 share on its
stock. contrasted with s1.71 in 1882.
National Dairy Products showed net
equal to s1.o1 a share, compared with
Sl.88 a share the year before. The
latter company. in commenting on the
stormy weather of recent weeks,
stated that conditions in that period
had resulted in additional expenses of
$500, 900.
With both stocks showing approxi-
mately the same per share earnings,
Borden was selling today about 7
points above National Dairy Products,
the latter moving around 1872, as
compared with 22la or thereaboutS

BANK CREDIT JAM
APPEARS BROKEN
Rise in Loans and Decline
of investments ReverSeS
Long Trend.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.


Treasury officials see in the latest
condition statement Of weekly report
ing member banks indications that the
bank credit jam is finally being broken.
The statement, which covered the
week ended March IA, disclosed that
loans were up and investments were
down, reversing the trend that has
existed since banking difficulties be-
came acute more than year ago
All loans showed gain of $ll3 000,-
900 during the week. offset by a
slump Of s25,00o,000 in total invest
ments, netting an increase Of S88000,- =
900 in member bank credit for the
period.
The detailed distribution OF the
loans for the week showed an in
crease OF s1O3, 900 900 in the New York
district, s7000,0O0 at both Boston and
Chicago and 81 100000 at both Phila-
delphla and Richmond, while Atlanta
and San Francisco each were showing
losses Of s2o00.0 900. coupled with
81 100000 losses at both Cleveland and
Dallas.
The fact that the greatest portion
OF these loans were concentrated in
large cities means absolutely nothing
in the final analysis, officials said. as
these cities are distributing centers for
funds which in the first instance are
largely concentrated there. In other
words, loans made by banks in large
cities to national corporations with
headquarters in those cities are re-
flected in movement of funds out Of
these cities TO every part Of the coun-
try.

INVESTORS FAVOR
CANADIAN ISSUES
American Buying Keeps
Prices at Years Peak
Despite Sag Elsewhere.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK, March 22.-The fea.

sues. All of the better grade of these
stocks and bonds alike, hold better
than the corresponding issues which
are the obligation of or represent tn,
equity in corporations organized ane
operating on this side of the border.
Canadian securities are selling al
approximately the highs of the year
whereas there have been substantial
reactions IN the rest OF the list. Ir
the case of Canadian bonds, the price
has been carried higher than appear,
warranted by all the known facts
and yet the demand continues.
Canadian bankers profess inability
to explain the high prices at which
these Canadian securities are quoted
Skeptical of N. r. A.
The situation, therefore, naturally
suggests buying for account Of Amer
lean investors who dislike the rigors
of the N R. A. codes, who are skeptica
Of the success of the recovery program
and, most important of all, who fee
they would rather have a stock OF
bond whose market is not controlled
by the Federal Trade Commission ano
whose loan value is not subject to the
supervision Of the Federal Reserve
Board. This explanation may sound
strained, but it is the only one thai
is offered and that appears to fit the
facts.
The Canadian gold mining stocks
share this favor extended to other
Dominion securities and have the ad-
ditional attraction of hedge agains,
imitation.
1t is not forgotten that President
Roosevelt has the authority to make
another cut in the gold content of the
dollar or. in other words, again ad-
vance the price of gold. This would
inure to the advantage Of the gold
producers, wherever situated, and
meanwhile the holder Of the stocks
receives a reasonable return on his
money. considering the prevailing in
terest rate.
Cheaper Dollar Talked.
A sudden advance of the French
franc against the dollar in the late
afternoon Wednesday reinforced the
theory that the gold value OF the
United States unit might be cut.
1t is never safe to draw too dog
matte conclusions from fluctuations in
the exchanges in these days OF gov
ernmental manipulation, but the in
cident created much comment In
Wall Street At 6.60A cents the franc
was at a new high since the dollar
was stabilized. This figure compares
with the previous high Of $50 touched
on March IL
There had been no hint Of any such
movement in the London gold market
earlier in the day. The price Of gold
in British currency vas the lowest in
over a month at 1876 shillings fiat
The fluctuations in the dollar meas
ured in foreign currencies and in the
price Of gold In sterling and in dol
lars are thus brought back as an i'm
portant influence In the markets.

STEADY GAIN REVEALED
BY BRITISH INDUSTRY
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Great Britain is slowly working her
way out of the depression, according
to figures received here on English
manufacturing industries, which. gen.
orally, showed increased production
during 1893.
A report to the Commerce Depart
ment said that in contrast to the
usual recession OF the manufacturing
index for the third quarter, there was
in 1888 an actual though slight rise
in production during the period when
the Summer slack normally occurs.
The improvement from the third
quarter was accordingly not so pro-
nounced as in the preceding year, al
though production in the final quarter
was recorded at the highest level
since the beginning of 1880.
Considering the year as whole,
statistics show that every manufactur-
ing group registered an increase over
1882.
