Rosie Miller Writes of IFYE Trip 10 ItaIy

Editors no1e. The following excerpts are taken from lengthy and interesting letter received by the Harold Winegarner family from Rosalind Miller. Interna- tional Farm Youth Exchange delegate who will be spending several weeks in Italy.
 July 4
 Dear Folks - It doesn't seem like the 4th of July at all on board ship. Most of us stayed up all night last night to see more land. About am. we could see Africa on the south ard Portu- gual and Spain on the north. It hadn't really dawned on me that would be seeing part of Africa. The Rock was a beautiful sight. I had pictured it as just a small jut of rock sticking up in the ocean, but it is immense with forts, guns, and battle ships. We anchored in the harbor quite a distance from shore. A tug-boat came to pick up and bring pas sengers. Then tugs and barges took the cargo off.
 Wish you could have witness ed the bartering as we did this morning. The people from the villages surrounded the ships in their rowboats, filled with sou venirs. They had everything in- cluding handkerchiefs, scarves, jeWelry, wicker baskets, fresh fruit and vegetables, caps and even live baby octopus. They would throw a string with a weight fastened on the end and send the money back in the bas- ket. They would set their prices way high and we would barter them way down.

 T have been busy trying to get things in order for we will be in Naples the 7th. We were SUD- posed to reach Palmermo around am. but now it will be 12 noon before we arrive. We all hate to see our journey together end so soon.
 July 6
 What an exciting day we had in Palmero. We had man aboard ship who, with his uncle, has two or three large citrus farms outside Palermo. That is what Palermo is noted for. His name is Rozario and he has been in the U. S. studying agriculture and citrus production. He said that the Am ericans were so nice to him that he wanted to do something for us. Last night he ordered Italian petsapie and had a party for us. He had to get home as soon as he reached Palermo so he made arrangements for his cousin and friend to take us on a tour of Palermo.

u. 5. Bonds Decline,
New Issue Rumored;
Corporates Also Dip
By Arthur Merims
Associufsd Press finoncicI Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.- Gov
ernment securities declined this
week. especially long-term bonds.
The corporate bond market also
worked its way downward in se-
lectiye trading.
The Treasury's most distantly
maturing issue, the 314s, lost
nearly half a point at 10 26/32
bid as reports filtered through
Wall Street that the Govern
ment will market q new long,
term bond before the year is out.
The Treasury must refund q
substantial amount of the ma
tional debt In December and
some financial quarters predict
a long term bond will be among
the offerings.
The shakeout in stock prices
had its effect on the corporate
bond market. Convertible obli-
cations adjusted downward to
conform with their respective
common stock prices. Medium
grade railroads and industrials
also tended to ease. But high
grade investment-quality indus
trials and utilities attracted sup
port. "Gilt-edged" railroads also
improved.
Trading throughout the cor
porate list was selective. Volume
was moderate and changes were
generally limited to fractions.
Brokers noted little switching
from corporate stocks to bonds.
Foreign dollar bonds were
higher, especially German and
Greek liens. South American and
Italian obligations also advanced
as the Associated Press average
of foreign bonds was carried to
its highest level in two years. Ex-
ceptions to the upturn were Jap
anese issues, which drifted lower
under sparse demand.

fic is smaller now than in the
depression year of 1888.
