Reservoir Gains
118,907 Acre Feet
In Past 7 Days

Making the creates week.
ly gain of the season Coo
lidge Dam today impounds
118,9O7 more acre feet OF
water than it did one week
ago, bringing the total of stored
available water to 576,220 aeae
feet.
This tremendous gain was ac
counted for by heavy rains oi
Friday and Saturday which
brought lao incres of precipita
tion to Coolidge, and varying from
1.5O to more than two inches
along the upper reaches of the
Gila and San Carlos rivers which
carried the resultant flood into
the Coolidge reservoir.
Even the most optimistic res
indents of the valley have hesitat
ed to predict even remotely close
to the amount of stored water
now available for farm lands OF
the Casa Grande Valley. Early
season estimate seldom exceeded
100000 acre feet although a couple
of allegedly brash and reckless
business men were enthusiastic
enough to hope and express the
wish" to wager a slight con
sideration the total would reach
the half million mark.
Now that the total has so far
passed the half million mark and
Is rapidly rising it Is believed the
storage reservoir will be half full
or 100000 acre feet by Sunday and
between 100000 and 100000 addi-
tional acre feet could be accounted
for by late spring runoffs. accord
ing to informed sources.
That the huge storage of irriga-
ton water in San Carlos Lake is
re-creating business optimism lis
evidenced by the number OF weekly
inquiries all valley civic organiza-
tions are receiving for business
sites and possible business open
ings. All real estate operators
of the valley say they are finding
much more interest in ownership
of valley lands.
Daily water levels for the week

Bond Averages
By the Associated Press.

by tNe hSSUCldltu fLeSS'
NEW YORK, March 21.-Small
losses predominated in today's bond
market, although there were numer-
Gus cases of individual strength
among rails and industrials.
Going into the final hour declines
were generally held to minor frac-
tons and some issues had attracted
enough support to cross over to the
advancing column. Chicago e. Great
Western As responded to increased
buying demand with gain of more
than point.
There appeared to be a sizable
amount of folloW-up buying in a
few selected low-priced rails, in
cluding those of the Erie, Cotton
Belt and Susquehanna. Resting
at slightly lower levels, however,
were the great bulk of recently
favored loans, including those of
Great Northern, Southern Railway,
Missouri Pacific and Nickel Plate.
Among utilities and industrials
the trend was thoroughly mixed.
Issues ahead included Consolidated
Edison 3l2s and Remington Rand
ANS, while the losing group in
cluded Portland General Electric
AIS and Texas Corp.
Principal activity among Gov
ernments centered in the new 1911
year Treasury 21as which were
marked up in over-the counter
dealings to a premium of about IL
points.
Greek 715s gained more than
points, but other foreign issues were
quiet.

this week, estimated at to 5 per

"a number of cities, mainly in the
Eastern and Northern areas. where
weather was particularly unfaTor-
able, reported trade below a year
ago, but only three broad regions
showed a decrease.
Orders continued to pour into
wholesale markets for all classes of
merchandise. Prices were
still edging higher, particularly in
metal and drygoods items, but as a
rule the buyers interest seemed to
be more in delivery than in price,"

property damage insurance and will
be written with the addition of
surcharge of 10 to Is per cent. 1t
