NEW YORK, August l2-United
States Government bonds continued
to ease today as most corporate issues
moved forward fractionally on
broad front.
Small offerings in the Federal issues,
hardly large enough to test the
market, brought declines as large as
o-32 of a point at one time.
Allegheny SIS of 1949 and SIS of 1850,
stamped, both showed gains as the
market absorbed the overnight news
that suits seek to restrain the merger
OF Allegheny and Chesapeake corpora
tions, principal former Van Sweringen
holding companies
Rail bonds were mostly higher on a
wide front, gamers including Great
Northern As, Northern Pacific As,
Santa Fe As, Baltimore & Ohio 412s
and Southern Pacific 4,2s. Great
Northern 4i2s dipped slightly.
Bethlehem Steel las were up a
fraction, while the 3s.s dipped
Higher were American Foreign

OFFICE EQUIPMENT
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Demand Expected to Hold
at High Levels for Re-

Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Ulspatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, August 1l.-Evidence
continues to accumulate that the in
itial half of 1887 has been one Of the
most profitable, as well as one OF the
most active Of any similar pediods in
the history Of the ONCE equipment in
dustry, according to Poor's Industry
and Investment Surveys
General business activity, although
displaying some seasonal hesitation in
recent weeks, consistently holds above
last years levels, and there are nu-
merous factors which indicate that q
substantial Fall pickup may reason
ably be expected. Thus, steady high
volume Of demand is indicated for
Office equipment manufacturers for
the balance OF the year at least.
"The aggregate net income Of seven
office equipment manufacturers re-
porting for the first three months OF
the year totaled s5,773,Ooo, a gain Of
nearly rs per cent over the results OBJ
tained in the first quarter Of 1885,"
continues the analysis.
"Five of these companies, including
the three largest-National Cash Reg
ister. Remington Rand and Under
wood Elliott Fsher-have reported for
the second three months. -Four show
continuing gains over 1885; one shows
a loss For the full six months, these
five concerns reported an aggregate net
income Of slO.6l8000 which was 1855
per cent above their 1886 total for
the like period
Prospects for the 1887 second half
favored continuing satisfactory opera
tons Despite increasingly heavy sales
and deliveries during the recovery Pc
riod, much office equipment still in use
is understood to be obsolete, and will
sooner or later require replacement.
Typewriter, tabulating machine and
filing equipment manufacturers con-
tinue to benefit from expanding cler-
ical activities in the numerous DEPART
ments and agencies Of the Federal
Government. In addition foreign mar
kets afford the industry an increas-
ingly large sales outlet"

CANADIAN TRADE

Wide Advances Maintained
Despite Some Slowing

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, August l2.-Althouzh
the rate Of recovery has slackened in
recent months. virtually all Canadian
indexes have continued to show wide
gains over the level of year ago. OBJ
serves the Standard Statistics Co. In a
special analysis of Canadian industry
and trade prospects
In spite of this slackening, future
prospects are favorable for the contin-
uatlon Of the present trend toward in
creased industrial development. For
the time being, however Canadian in
dustry is relatively free from the labor
difficulties which have disturbed Amer.
lean business.
AS has been the case in the United
States, building construction. while
still at low levels relative to the pre-
vious peak, has shown particularly
noteworthy gains. Although this ten
dency has been most marked in the
industrial field, residential construc-
tion has been stimulated by loans
granted under the home improvement +
plan.
Some further seasonal recession in I,
various lines is to be expected. How :,
ever. Notwithstanding unfavorable /.
wheat prospects in the prairie prov
inces, there is little doubt that the as-
gregate value in industrial and agri-
cultural production in 1887 will be sub
stantlally in excess of that of the
previous year
In common with other raw material
producing countries, Canada Is bene- ,
fltlng from the rise in world demand
and prices for primary commodities, 4
lhS, together with the internal i'm
proVement which has resulted in a
rising tide Of imports, has been re-
hected IN substantial gains in foreign
trade.
The present export outlook is i'm
proved by the growing world and en-
plre sentiment for promoting a greater
international exchange of goods ano >

Washington and London that there d,
Will be no early change in the price OF
gold. The imperial conference resulted
IN no immediate commitments with re-
spect to empire trade relations, but
the exploratory conversations of the
delegates paved the way for a greater
degree OF cooperation in removing
trade barriers
Canadian exports account for ap-
proxlmately 3s per cent Of the total
national income, and the outlook for
further improvement in the value of
foreign shipments is definitely con-
structive factor.

Dinner Guests Scream.
OnH IN A p Al Alshts As,,l

In the dining room Of a London
hotel man "beheaded" his wife so
realistically that several women guests
screamed. Bills of large denomina-
ton were torn up, then restored whole.
A man produced more thimbles on the
tips of his fingers out Of thin air than
half a dozen housewives might possess
in their workbaskets. All this took
place at the annual dinner of the Brit
ish Ring Of the International Brother
hood Of Magicians. The tricks were
so ingenious that many of the 10 pro-
fessional magicians present from all
parts OF the world confessed themselves
mystif1ed. The execution" was the
first OF its kind ever to be performed
and the "executioner" explained that
his "guillotine" had arrived only that
afternoon. The thimble trick was
voted the best sleight-of- hand innova-
ton in years.

Why'd fter-Cay'e Treatment
Of tuberculosis Is Needed

good deal better to have your life
modified than to have it terminal
ed, as it would have been by treat
ment or lack of treatment of other
days.
Relapses High -
The reason for the necessity of
after care is the high percentage
of relapses which occur unless pa
tents are watched and treated for
a period Of years after their orig
inal cure. These relapses, when
they occur, are not always as easy
to terminate as the original dis
ease. The patient who has been
assured by his physician in SAM
tarium that his disease is arrested,
naturally feels elated and may I'M
dertake a program Of activity
which is far beyond his strength,
and which again Immediately
breaks down all the good that the
sanitarium treatment has done. Tu-
berculosis patients are naturally
rather ambitious and high-strung
individuals, who wish sto do a good
deal of work, and who probably
brought about their original break
down by such a point of view.
The after-care communities al
low the patient to go to work at
the soonest possible moment, and
also to earn money in ways that
will not impair his health. Be-
sides this, of course, the segrega-
ton Of cases Of tuberculosis in one
place will help to prevent the
spread of the disease into the rest
of the population, because the COM
nonest form of infection is from
direct contact with an open" case.
The international After-Care
committee is determined to devise
means whereby the lives Of con-
sumpt:ves may be made useful,
purposeful and protective once
more.
