Investors have been accumulating small blocks of bonds, but it is speculative interests that have declined to pursue bulges in the market very far although support has rarely been lacking on dips in the market. ' Despite the holiday Friday, a total of S4l .pOO.OOO in bonds and notes in new offerings were absorbed in the week. The easy tone in money which ruled at 4 per cent for call loans from the close of business Thursday and today undoubtedly is responsible for the comparative steadiness in prices. A few setbacks were sustained in the rail and industrial issues and liberties have done little more than lack and fill during the past few’ days, but the tone of the market as .a whole has been generally satisfactory. Steadiness of oil bonds in the face of the wafting of the oil scandal throughrut the country, speaks well for the traders’ confidence in the market.

CHICAGO. Fob. 23.—Large operators, in an effort to switch the market their way, are buying or selling openly and at the same lime covering up the other side of the trade through brokers being satisfied with small profits or losses. Failure of country elevators to accumulate corn is a bullish factor in the present corn situation. Only 20 per cent of normal stocks is in elevators and, what with heavy farm consumption and the fact that farmers will soon be busy in fields, the movement is likely to falloff sharply. Sentiment in the pit is mixed with traders awaiting a crop scare or some other new developments before becoming active on the buying side. Expectations are for large world ship inputs this year. Argentine will probably ship more than six million bushels. Russia and Danube so far cleared 1.520,000 bushels. North American clearances east of the Rockies, however, are light. Domestic wheat surplus is moving out of the country in such volume that by March 1 stocks will be low, experts believe. Farm reserves now are estimated at 140.000.000 bushels or 13,000,000 bushels less than last year - . Local Wagon Wheat Indianapolis mills and elevators are paying $1.05 for No. 2 red wheat; other grades on their merits.. „

Sows and pigs sold practically unchanged, pigs generally at $6.50 down and sows generally at $6.25 down for the average kind. The shipper demand was responsible for the day’s increase, just as it had been responsible for the fact that prjees had not broken more severely than they did during the week, as local interests have been decidedly bearish on the market since its touched its high point at $7.70 on the current recovery.

WILMETH POINTS OUT LOOP-HOLE IN BOND-SIGNING Prosecutor and Judge Say They Will Punish All Illegal Operators, Limited space on the bond sheet for listing of a bondsman's property and bonds which he has signed was pointed out today by City Judge Delbert O. Wilmeth as a possible loophole through which professional bondsmen were operating illegally. Judge Wilmeth said a bondsman might fill tho space furnished and yet be surety on numerous other bonds. He said the wording should be changed to read: “I am surety on these bonds and no others.” Will Prosecute Prosecutor William H. Remy and Judge Wilmeth are investigating operations of the professional bondsmen in city court. They are prepared, they say, to prosecute severely any illegal bond signing. Evasion of a previous rule, barring a certain bondsman from operating, was cited. The bondsman simply transferred his property to an assistant and the work of bond-signing went merrily on. Woman as Active A woman professional bondsman now operating at city court is on nearly as many bonds as some of the more active men. It is said bondsmen often ask policemen to arrest on vagrancy charges persons whose bonds they have signed when there is fear that the persons will jump bonds. Investigation started when it was found a bondsman had $21,800 in .penal bonds pending when he had only S6OO in real property. Law provides bondsmen must own real estate twice in value the amount of bonds they sign.

GERMAN DISCUSSES NATION’S OUTLOOK Prof, Von Schulze-Gaevernitz Has Confidence, "The outlook for Germany for the next few years is very dark, but I have confidence and hope that she will soon be on her feet again,” said Professor Von Schulze-Gaevarnitz of the University of Freiburg, who will speak at the Athenaeum tonight. “What Germany needs, is a chance to resume work. Her manufacturers are idle. Press reports of the starving condition of Germany are not exaggerated.” "Many of our leading business men are still in prison,’ he said. “Education of the children has been utterly neglected. With starvation, education ends.” "America has treated Germany kindly,” he said. •Professor Von Schulze-Gaevernitz was a member of the Reichstag during the war.
