Stocks were helped by a somewhat irregular upturn in bonds and moderately firmer commodities. Businesa and trade news, however, was meager. The turnover of 902,630 shares was the largest for a Saturday session since June, but apparently reflected the busy turning over of a score or so of pool favorites rather than broad activity, for the number of issues traded was limited.

Advances were generally restricted to a point or so, but a few shares registered wider gains. Case, in which there has been considerable punishment of shorts lately, was whirled up 7 points and closed with a net gain of 5. American Telephone and Southern Pacific gained about 2 points, and Eastman Kodak and Hershey Chocolate. 3. Some Brokerage Advices Optimistic.

Issues up a point or so included Consolidated Gas. International Telephone. Johns Manville. New York Central, North American. Royal Dutch of New York.

Union Carbide and U. S. Steel. Such issues as Radio, American Can. General Electric, General Motors, and Chrysler were but slightly changd, although they w-ere turned over in volume.

The oil shares continued active, although gains were largely limited to fractions. Foreign exchanges were featureless at the finish of the week. Both European and Latin-American currencies were generally steady to firm. Sterling cables ruled a share loner at $4 8534, but the German- mark was still quoted at 23.65 cents, and French, Belgian, Dutch and Spanish currencies were higher.

By Louis Ludlow. An interesting letter from Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander-in-chief of the Confederate forces in the Civil War. in regard to final disposal of the Confederate dead buried in Green-lawn Cemetery.

Indianapolis, has been brought to light by the publication of a recent article in the Sunday Star stating that the War Department is planning the exhumation of the remains of the Confederate soldiers and civilians buried at Greenlawn and their reburial in some more appropriate place in or near Indianapolis. After sixty-three years Gen. Lee's letter has been furnished to me for publication on account of the interest that has been aroused in this matter. It shows that the question of the disposition of these bodies arose immediately after the Civil War and that It was a matter that weighed heavily on Gen. Lee's mind.

Attica Man Owns Letter. Louis L. Johnson, an architect and engineer of Attica, who owns the letter written by Gen. Lee, says in a communication just received: "Observing your article in the Sunday Star concerning the federal government's interest in a more permanent burial site for Confederate soldiers who died at Camp Morton during the Civil War I am offering herewith some information which shows that the question of disposition of these bodies arose immediately after the war and which may interest members of the committee. "The father of the writer was Capt.

B. Frank Johnson. C. S. A a native of Indiana and of Virginia ancestry.

He spent two years in the service and two years as a Confederate prisoner at Johnson's Island. Lake Erie. At the close of the Civil War he came to Indianapolis. Soon thereafter arose the question of the disposition of Confederate dead in which Capt. Johnson took a leading part.

The desire of the southerners at that time was that the bodies be returned to their native communities in the South. In this connection Capt. Johnson addressed a letter to Gen. Robert E. Lee.

I am enclosing herewith a copy of the reply, which letter and address on the envelope are In the handwriting of Gen. Lee. I now have the original of this letter." General Lee's Epistle. Gen. Lee's letter, written in longhand and dated at Lexington, June 11, 1869, Is as follows: "Dear Sir Your letter of June 4 in reference to the Confederate dead at Indianapolis has been received.

All proper modes of perpetuating the remembrance of the departed, and of establishing permanent memorials over their perishable remains are pious acts in which I sympathize. Many memorial appropriations have been formed for these purposes and have so far as they could performed this honorable task. Their means, however, have been inadequate thus far to do more than a small part of this work and I fear thousands lie in unknown graves. The return of every Memorial Day is marked by special tokens of respect and the honor paid to one is paid to all. I hope the interest you take in this subject will enable you to rescue from oblivion the names of the Confederate prisoners buried near Indianapolis.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant, R. E. LEE." Bartholomew County farmers are calling attention to a vivid illustration of the low estate into which wheat has fallen as a money crop. A fair is going on at Columbus and pop is selling for ten cents a bottle, while down town wheat is bringing thirty-five cents a bushel. A farmer who brings a bushel of wheat to market cannot buy four bottles of pop with the proceeds of his bushel of wheat.

Great big cucumbers are selling on the Columbus market for twenty-five cents per hundred, which is said to be the biggest cucumber bargain in the history of the world. Michael Locke, veteran publisher of the Columbus, Herald, who has been connected with that paper forty years, has broken in many cub reporters in his time. Among those who got their start under him was Kent Cooper, now head head of the Associated Press. When Kent was a youngster working on the paper baseball was beginning to loom up as a seductive sport and Kent took French leave one day to do some rooting. When he showed up at the office Mr.

Locke took him to task and lectured him on the sin of forsaking his job to engage in such friviolities. "Baseball." replied Kent, "is a coming sport and people are getting very much interested in it. I went out to 667 Hoyt Ave. 7-room partly modern home. Newlv decorated inside and outside.

YOU CAN BANK ON MUNCIE REAL ESTATE Look back over your past experience in your investments, see failures of financial institutions by the thou- I sand; see the failures of one experimental promotion after another; view the wreckage of the stock markets; see an outstanding issue that a few months ago was selling at $3.50 per share and this morning is quoted at 1 investigate any investment you may and after all you must come back to the fact that real estate has held its own as no other investment has and is still the one sound, money earning, dependable place to put your money. I believe if every man with a little surplus money would buy a piece of property other than his home, as an in- I vestment and put it up in good order (thus giving employment to some unemployed) that this would do more help Muncie and be by far the best investment you could make.
