More Activity in Bonds, but at Ex pense of Values Money Market Situation Is Unchanged. "EW TORK, Murcli !. The session of tle stock exchange today was relatively dull and professional, but the trend of prices was unmistakably upward, though easing generally in the final hour. Sales were 800.000 shares. There was no visible change In the money situation, demand, loans again open In at 8 per cent and rising to 12 per cent toward the close. Time funds were virtually unobtainable except for renew als into the year's second quarter. Foreign exchange retained all of Its recent uncertain characteristics, the Lon don rate rallying briskly, probably as a result of further gold imports, but French and Italian bills were heavy, lires declin ing to the new discount of 20.75 to the dollar, but advancing slightly at the close. Trading In bonds was larger, but the expansion was mostly at the expense of values, rails showing especial heaviness. Liberty bonds were irregular, the 3s re acting perceptibly, but internationals held steady. Total sales, par value, aggregated ll,27o.OOO. Old United States 2s rose 14 an call and the 4s rose .

Spot offer ings were not pressing and prices were quoted two to three cents higher on an Industrial demand. Shipping sales were only OOO bushels and local shippers re ported cancellation of previous sales ag gregating 130.000 bushels. Much of the recent buying has been induced by the foreign demand for wheat and rye, the influence of which ia purely sentimental as advices on the corn situation abroad are or an entirely different character. Argentina ia offering corn in Liverpool at lower prices and the supply of tonnage in the southern hemisphere is steadily In creasing as evidenced by the radical de cline in freights. Corn as a domestic proposition Is above a feeding basis which should be reflected in the deliveries that expire after spring work on the farms is out of the way. Oats Lacked independent action and closed rather heavy with considerable of the early gains erased. An improved shipping demand helped maintain cash premiums, offsetting in part the cancella tion of 350.000 bushels previous sales. Bull ish enthusiasm is being helped by opti mistic reports from the country on the progress of seeding operations.

Strength in the March option caused shorts in the deferred deliveries of corn to become uneasy and offerings were light. May advancing more than a point above yesterday's close. May early sold at $1.58 or within c of the high point on the present advance. Open ing prices ranged from c to lc higher, wtth May $1.57 to $1.58 and July $1.61 to $1.51. Resumption of free wire service with the east brought a wave of short covering In corn that swent all deliveries higher. A large bull factor was the prospect that congress would declare a separate peace with Germany. Profit taking checked the upturn. March closed at $1.67, which was 3c higher than the previous finish and May was 2c higher at $1.59 to $1.59 and July $1.52 to $1.52 Reports of progress in oats seeding and of very slight da.nage in the recent wind storms had a strengthening effect on oats. Opening figures showed an advance of to , with July at 70 c. Provisions were higher on scattered buy ing of May lard.

THE OBLIGATION OF A PUBLIC AGENCY (DISTRICT NO. 1500) EMPOWERED TO ISSUE BONDS AND TO LEVY AND COLLECT ASSESSMENTS for RECLAMATION Purposes. ORGANIZED BY A SPECIAL ACT OF THE LEGISLATURE OF CALI FORNIA, APPROVED APRIL 30th, 1913. EXEMPT FROM ALL TAXES i Exempt from all United States Government and State of California Taxes, except Inheritance Taxes. A Legal Investment in California for Savings Banks, Trust Funds and Insurance Companies. Legality approved by Messrs. Goodfellow, Eells, Moore & Orrick, San Francisco We call attention to . the following salient features of this offering : These bonds are secured by an assessment lien, levied before the bonds were voted, which is a first lien on the land in the District, subject only to State and County taxes, and cannot be impaired. Under California's Reclamation Laws these bonds are a direct and continuing obligation on every acre within the district until the principal and interest has been paid in full, as in the case of a "School District." The reclamation and drainage works of the District are practically completed. Within the levees are 63,718 acres, exclusive of land occupied by levees and ditches. This land is entirely under cultivation, is highly productive and adaptable to a diversity of crops. Included in this area are 46,042 acres owned by the Sutter Basin Co., the "Armour Project," in which J. Ogden Armour has a controlling stock interest. Present Value of the net assessable acreage is conservatively placed by independent appraisal at approximately $16,000,000. River bottom lands, susceptible to reclamation comprise the highest type of "Calif ornia farm lands. The great variety of high value crops raised on such land includes asparagus, rice, alfalfa, gar den truck, beans, nuts and orchard products. " Such lands sell readily at from $250 to $1000 per acre and are the basis of bank loans on first mort gage of from $75 to $150 per acre. The reclamation district bonds are prior in lien to first mortgage obligations. Failure of any landowner to meet any annual assessment will result under California Laws in sale of the land in default of payment. . District No. 1500 borders the Sacramento River on the East for approximately 34 miles, its south em boundary being approximately 20 miles north of the City of Sacramento. Transportation to the Sacramento city and San Francisco Bay markets is afforded by river boats and by a branch line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which traverses the entire district from north to south, thereby reducing to a short distance the hauling of farm products. The State of California, through its Reclamation District Laws, invites and protects capital for use in making available its rich and highly productive river lands. These bonds constitute an investment yielding 6 net, exempt from all United States Government taxes and all taxes in California, except inheritance taxes, fortified by a permanent first lien, supported by enforcible assessment on valuable producing land and legal for Savings Banks in California.
