PARIS, July 6.-According to owen D. Young, chairman of the board of directors of the Radio Corp oration of America, wireless telephoning be- tween New York and Paris is within the realms of possibility. The one big disadvantage is the difference in time between the two cities It is possible, however, that notifications in this matter, however, will be at tempted in order that stock exchange transactions may be feasible between France and America by telephone.

Billion in Business Not Worth
Procuring, Three N. Y.
Companies Decide.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-A billion
dollars worth of insurance business
in Europe has been given up by
three of the largest American in
surance companies because, after
an intensive study, Continental Eu-
rope, with the exception of the
British Isles, was found to be a
hopeless field for business, the
Equitable, the Mutual, and the New
York Life Insurance companies an
nOunCCd today in a joint statement.
1t was found that the vast un-
certainty cnshrouding Europe made
future business not worth the cost
of procuring it.
In Russia, il was said. conditions
were so chaotic that there was lit
tie to abandon. the American com
panics' physical assets having long
ago been ConfisCatcd.
Throughout Europe, wage in.
Crcases are being faced, dcpre-
ciated currency must be considered,
and the generally impoverished con-
dition of the central European ma
tions plays an important ole in
depressing business. Therefore, the
bulk of the vast business of the
American concerns has been turned
over to newly organized native
firms. In Germany, twelve banks
combined to take over the out
standing policies.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S. Even
with war news flooding the specula-
tive district, and sterling exchange
recording another drop, there was
little evidence, in the first hour,
that the heavy decline which COIL
cluded Yesterdays session of the
stock market was to be continued
today. After a somewhat irregular
opening, in which fractional losses
were sustained by the great majori-
ty of active stocks, the bulls again
assumed control, and the bears Were
unable to stem the tide of the gen
eral advance in stock prices.
It had been assumed that the
weakening of margin accounts
would have produced an accumu-
lation Of selling orders at the open
ing, and doubtless this factor was
present to some extent, but not
on a very large scale. and not suf-
ficient to produce a wide open
break in prices. On the contrary.
good buying support appeared all
over the market and offerings were
quickly snapped up. In the ag'
gressive buying which followed
some good recoveries were made
by the speculative favorites, Cru

Considerable difference OF opinion

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-The pres
ent reactionary tendencies in the
listed bond market are more pro-
nounced in the so-caIled speculative
issues, some of which have declined
as much as two points In a single
session. 1t is also significant that
good many bonds which ran for
ward aggressively In the upward
movement of the spring and early
summer have been reactionary in
the selling process. This is un-
natural. in view of the fact that a
considerably large number of specu-
lators confine their activities to the
bond market, in which, during the
last year or two, they have been
very successful.
Broad swings have characterized
these speculative bonds. as may be

The market for municipal bonds

that are made upon them. These
bonds are particularly desirable for
investors whose income taxes ex
tend to the large brackets, as wei
as investment and ffuuciary insti
