OF BOND TRADING
New U. S. Refunding a. las
Also Show Strength-Some
More Weak Spots.
BY GEORGE #. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 31.-The fea-
ture of the bond market today was
the strength in liberties and in the
new refunding ANS.
All obligations of the United States
government were actively dealt in at
advancing prices, a fact which led
many traders to expect an extension
of the recovery to the general list
OF this. however, there was little in
dication. despite a slightly higher
price level for a few of the high
grade rails.
Rail Issues React Further.
There was notable weakness in the
speculative issues. especially the
bonds of the Erie and the St.. Pauls
In the case of the former the reac-
tion was merely continuation OF
that which has been in evidence for
several days.
Among the railroad bonds to show
comparative strength were the Cana
dian Pacific debenture As. which sold
on L 5 per cent basis. Northern "a
cifio prior lien As, Union Pacific AS
AtchIson general as 81. LOUIS a
Francisco prior lien A As, one OF the
best second grade bonds. and New
Haven 6s, fuctuated over consid-
cradle range. New York, Westches-
ter and Boston AIS dropped sharply
as did Seaboard Air Line 6s. The
short term Baltimore and ohio 6s
declined to within fraction of par
Some Other Weak Spots.
Chile Copper Is of the industrials
lost more ground, and Empire Gas and
Fuel 7las sold down to SO. The utili-
ties We're irregular, Western Union 5s
gaining and Detroit Edison IS losing.
All the packing issues We're active
but price changes were not signih-
cant.
In the early trading French bonds
went lower, Notwithstanding the re-
covery in franc exchange. Argentine
5s and Sweden 6s did better, but
Brazil bonds We're still in compare
tive disfavor. Apparently the matter
of a new $4,000 5000 loan to Argen-
tina is not making much progress.
Although it was announced that all
the new issue of American Smelling
and Refining IS had been sold the old
bonds were quoted below 81 on the
exchange today.

EUGENE MEYER REPORTS
VAST BUSINESS GAINS
War Finance Head Finds "Enor-
mously Improved" Condi-
lions in West.

General business conditions through
out the west are enormously i'm
proved over year ago, Eugene
Meyer. jr.. manag ing director of the
War Finance Corporation, declared
yesterday, after a three-week tour
of six western states.
General business in the west. he
said. is on the mend. except where
interfcred with by car shortages and
where local conditions have taken
temporary turns for the worse. Mr..
Meyers tour included California, New
Mexico. Utah, Minnesota, Wyoming
and Montana.
Mr. Meyer reported growth in
the support being given cooperative
marketing associations by private
banking interests. which, he main
tanned, lesSened the call upon War
Finance Corporation funds and re-
fiected the spread of the co-opera-
tive idea. Also he declared the farm
ers throughout the west were evil
dencing tendency to pay off their
debts, which has been reflected in
the corporations statements show
ing repayments of from $12,000.000
to S15,000.000 monthly.

Wall Street Features

NEW YORK, October 31.-Stude-
baker opened up slightly today. fol-
lowing the overnight publication of
the third quarter earnings 1t broke
to 1876 just before noon, when word
reached the street that only the reg
ular quarterly dividend had been
declared, the extra payment voted
three months ago having been omit
ted The speculative element claimed
pointing, but the best Judgment was
that it was not dividends but earn
ings with which important holders
of the stock were concerned. The
earnings were just about what the
street had been looking for, an equiva-
lent of 81 share for the three
months and $3.50 for the nine
May Department Stores.
May Department Stores directors
are scheduled to meet in the near
future to take action on the dividend
The rate on the stock is now SIS, which
was declared about this time last year
for the year. The anticipation is that
something will be done regarding an
increase in the cash disbursement OF
that a sizable extra in stock iwll be
declared.
Industrial Alcohol.
Again today the action of Industrial
Alcohol stock was rather nota BILE. 1t
did not resist, any more than it had
Monday, the selling movement in
other directions. But it did have a
much better comeback than the aver
age, and its behavior altogether fitted
in with intimations that the Stand
ard Oil party, which is in control OF
the company, is favorably inclined to-
ward the outlook.
American WaferwOrks.
Reason for the recent strength in
American Waterworks stocks par
ticularly the common, is found in
the latest earnings statement cover
ing the month of September and the
Twelve months ending September 80
1t would take s1.533.5 500 to cover divi-
dends on all three classes of stock,
per cent on the first preferred, 6 pei
cent on the participating preferred
and per cent on the common. The
actual balance after all charges and
depreciation was s1.497, 400. Earn
ings of the Monongahela Power and
Railway Company did not begin tc
figure in the results of the parent
company until July 1 last, and those
of the Potomac Power not until Au-
gust 1. Had the earnings of these
two properties gone into the general
fund during the entire year the full
dividen ds to which the three stocks
are entitled would have been more
than earned.
