HOSPITAL IS EXEMPTED State Insane Asylum at Norwich Does and white Not Come Under Civil Sery Ruling Now. Hartford. March 29.—Governor Holecomb has exempted the Norwich hospital for the Insane from the op- eration of “he civil rvice law. Some time ago the sccretary of the com- ission notified the hospital, authori- ties {hat they were required to re- port appointments to positions in the institution to the commission. The secretary afterward reported to the comptrolier that the appointment of a person employed by the hospital had not been reported and the result was the postponement of the pay- ment of the salary of the employe referred to. Dr. Frank Wilcox, su- perintendent of the hospital asked the governor to exempt his institu- tion and the governor complied. It was stated at the office of the public utilities commission today that investization by the commission of appointments made at the Nor- wich institution revealed that two persons employed were escaped luna- ics from other institutions. They were discharged by Dr. Wilcox when the fdct was reported to him.

New York, March 29.—There been little new development in foreign situation during the week. Conditions in Germany evidently improved but slightly, if at all, and advices concerning the ! conditions in that country indicate clearly that little is to be expected there until such time as exchange is stored to a more normal basis and raw materials are supplied for the purpose of enabling the German pop- ulation to resume wor The defi nite defeat of the treaty of peace by the senate of the United States has apparently had the effect not of de- stroying hope that the United States would eventually become a party to | it and a member of the league of | nations, but mer that the whole situation would have to be thrashed over in the autumn campaign with the result possibly of deferring ac- tion until a year from the present time or perhaps longer. Meantime the league of nations itself is evi- dently beginning to function, al- though on a limited scale and with the evident probability that the more reactionary or less liberal eclements will be in control of the situation, Altogether, it would seem that com- tively little improvement in our foreign affairs is to be looked for in the immediate future. Domestic Outlook Tmproving. In the financial and industrial at home the outlook is unmistakably improving. Reports from all over the country show full employment for labor and a fairly good condition of industrial harmony. Relatively few labor controveri in pro- | eress at the present moment and > which now exist do not portend anything of a threatening nature. Manufacturing is continuing in full volume. ~ Wholesalers report a zer volume of busine before. The publi more conservatively clined to pay exorbit ices than heretofore. but this in itsel a hopeful symptom and s en- ge optimism rather the reverse. The agricultural season is opening splendidly in most parts of the country. the chief cause for dis- turbance in that connection being the fact that labor is in such strong demand in the factories and in city work generally that it is leaving the farm. A great shortage of agricultural labor will undoubted- 1y have to be provided for this sea- son. field ar la than perhaps ever at +is buying is less in- than The Railroad Contrary uation. been expect- €d. railroad stocks have not shown very much disposition to move in one direction or the other during the past week. this sluggishne being due to uncertainty on the part of the public as to the status of their bor- rowing power. Early in the week it was announced that the roads had, with only few exceptions, accepted the government guarantee plan pro vided under the terms of the Tran portation act. and that they were accordingl protected to that extent for the next s months. In spite of this fact the roads have been placing orders for equipment and steel on in a moderate way. Equipment stocks have been in strong demand and have sold at high prices because of the belief on the part of their own- ers that the railroads, even temporarily crippled in financial way, would practically be forced into buying much more largely of equip- ment than they have as yet done in order that they might be enabled to furnish the service wiiich the pub- lic expects of them. Market Review and Outlook. The halting attitude of the market toward the close of the week owing to high money rates was productive of/ profit taking. Those who have walched it closely, however, realize that quotations have often a way of promptly recovering whenever they yicld to sales. The rails, upon which so much was counted as a result of the p i of the railroad relief measure, continue, as already noted, to display sluggishness, the chief rea- son for this being the apparent un- willingness of traders to take hold of them while so much uncertainty ists as to their earning status under the terms of the Transportation act. Valuation methods will, of course, have much to do in determining the bility of the various roads and pay dividend, and while there can be no doubi that. based on pres- ent replacement costs, a great ma- jority of the companies will show up well, more or le doubt on this point must remain until the commerce commission makes known its rulings These are likely to favor the roads despite the attitude of the railroad commissions from the various states, who at this week’s hearings strongl opposed the method of using prop- erty investment valuations in fixing rates. In consequence there al chance that the shares of the com- mon riers will shortly - come more into the speculative limelight.
