Record Maryland Turkey
Production Forecast
By the Associated Press

CENTERVILLE. Md, April 26.-
A record production of turkeys in
Maryland this year was forecast to-
day as the Eastern Shore Turkey
Growers Association met to hear
experts discuss phases of the in
dustry that brought 81 ,375 900 to the
States growers last year.
In prepared address, DR.. Morley
A. JUL, head of the University of
Maryland's poultry department, pre-
sented figures indicating a record
1910 production and urged producers
to take cognizance" of certain pos
sibilities'' affecting the 1910 outlook.
THE turkey industry in Maryland
is a very important one, since in 1889
it yielded an income of approx
mately 1875, 900 to turkey growers" !"
DR.. JUL said.
"One of the outstanding problems
of the Maryland turkey grower is to
reduce the average size of his breed
ing stock since it had been estab-
lished that consumers prefer mod
erate-sized birds" ranging from IL
to IA pounds.
He said another problem was to
produce Matching eggs early in the
season. He pointed out several
Maryland hatcheries sent as far as
California for Matching eggs and
suggested that by putting early
Matched pullets under artificial
lights about December l they might
secure Matching eggs by March l..

Bond Averages

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 26.-The bond
market lacked vitality to move far
in either direction today, with
trading at slow pace in all groups
Going into the final hour there
were more fractional losses than
gains, with many ordinary active
loans holding unchanged from
Thursdays close.
In sharp contrast to the vacillating
behavior of most corporates was a
quick runup in Union Pacific liens
following reports the carrier planned
refunding of s85 100000 in 4 and S
per cent bonds at lower interest
rates.
Union Pacific 3lzs of 10 and 31as

Lower priced rails, helped earlier
this week by hopes of favorable
legislation In Congress, displayed
little resistance to mild pressure.
Trimmed fractions were such
loans as Baltimore & Ohio stamped

York Central IS and Rock Island

Erie General IS countered the
trend with sizable gain and Ana
conda Copper 412s and Third Ave-
nue. adjusted SIS of go moved up.
Most japanese bonds improved in
the foreign list. Balancing such
gains were losses in Italian and
British Empire issues.
The market for United States
Governments frightened a bit and
gains ranging to around a point
were scored.

Russians Reported
Rese||ing Copper
Due 10 Blockade
UnwiIIineness to Take
War Risks Results
In Offerings
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 26.-Russian
interests, substantial purchasers OF
American copper several months
ago, were reported in trade circles
today to be offering the red metal
for resale in the domestic market,
possibly because of unwillingness to
risk the allied blockade.
These sources said Russian selling
began 'trickling into the market late
yesterday and tonnage placed was
believed to aggregate between 10000
and $4,000 tons.
The Russian-owned metal, it is
believed, is not pressing for sale,
but 1t Is available in both export
and domestic marts.
Some dealers say the copper was
part of that bought by Russian
sources some months back, then
destined for shipment to Vladi-
vostok.
Several shipments then were sent
to Mexico for transshipment to
Russia.
Some metal shipped from the
West Coast to Russia, however, was
turned back in midocean when ships
returned to this hemisphere as the
British blockade widened.

40 guns taken from the destroyers
demolished by the British fleet 10
days ago. To these naval guns were
added some coast artillery, brought
surreptitiously by German "mer-
chantmen" when German forces
entered Narvik April 8.
The British heavy ships are able
to fire at Narvik from a distance,
but craft of the type that could
enter the inner harbor are held at
cay by the fire of the defense guns
dominating the harbor.
Mystery About It.
OF course there is a mystery in all
this. How do the Germans get the
ammunition? Some say that enough
shells have been salvaged from the
destroyers to provide ammunition
for another two or three weeks.
Others suggest that there Is pos
sibility that the medical supplies
which are reaching these troops
from Norway on the Kiruna -Narvik
Railroad might contain other things
than quinine and bandages. The
Swedish authorities exercise a strict
supervision Of everything they allow
to pass over their border. but there
are many ways of smuggling things,
even in the strictest neutral country.
Allies Drive Not Hopeless.
In some military quarters In
Washington the allied campaign in
Norway does not appear as hope
less as it shows on the surface.
1t is emphasized that the mere
fact that the allies have managed
to establish beach heads at Namsos
and at Andalsnes indicates already
signal success. The force landed
there. it is said. is still small but
the Germans have not been able
to dislodge it. Once the beach
heads are properly established there
is no reason why the British and
the French should not be able to
land a large eXpeditionarv corps
which could then operate with more
success against the German forces.
The two beach heads are separated
from the rest of the country by a
high range of mountains. These
will necessarily slow down the opera
tlons Of the German armies and
render the activities of the German
alrforce more difficult.
