GENERAL TREND IS
LACKING IN BONDS
First Market Day of New
Year Finds Many Investors
in Waiting Mood.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 2.-The in
terest and activity evident In the
stock market was absent from the
bond market on the first business
day of the new year. The keenest
judges could detect no general trend
and investors seemed to be content
to satisfy their immediate require
ments. but not to anticipate them.
Short-term notes continued in good
demand, always mark of uncertain
ty as to the course of prices. Good
preferred stocks were we'll taken by
those who were willing to take a
larger return. Some of the new Of
ferings along this line went very
well, others dragged.
Rails Go Higher.
Speculative rails continued the re-
covery begun after the incubus of tax
selling was completed. Cases In point
were the New Haven, Erie and st,
Paul issues. Seaboard Air Line obli-
cations also did some better. Here,
however, the process was more q cor
recting of the position into which
these bonds fell during the last few
weeks of 1922 rather than an advance
based OF improved prospects. For the
immediate future the outlook for all
these roads is evidently better now
that they have caught up, in part, at
least, on the expenditures caused by
the effects of the strike. The rest
depends on general business and the
favor of Congress.
Foreign List Mixed.
The foreign list can no longer be
treated as whole. United Kingdom
issues moved in accord with securities
of the highest grade. responsive only to
money market conditions, the specu-
lative issues of which the City Of
Gres tsr Prague 7hs are an example,
reflect varying opinion as to the de-
velopments abroad, present and pro-
spective.
Speyer & Co. and J. &c w. Sellgman
e. Co. will offer tomorrow at 81 and In
terest, to yield more than $40 per cent,

ern Railroad Company's first mortgage

The bonds are a part of a total au-
thorized issue limited to $4,000. 600, Of

First prices were firm at an advance
of, 16 to 35 points, but the demand
tapered off after the initial orders
had been executed. and the mar
ket became comparatively quiet, with
prices easing off under realizing.
March sold down from 26.92 to 26.76
and May from 2700 to 26.s4 shortly
after the call. Liverpool cables at
tributed an advance there to general

COAL OWNERS
TRAPPED

Berkeley Springs, W. Va.-Four
witnesses who were paid from 5000
to $500 to testify against Frank
keeney, state president of the United
Mine Workers, repudiated their bar
gain and fled from drunken gun men
who were guarding them.
This is the latest DEVELOPMENT in
the persecution of union coal miners
by coal owners in connection with
strikers in Logan county.
With nerve equal to their corrup-
tion, the coal owners attorneys then
asked the court to quash the proceed
lngs against Keeney because "three
of the states witnesses had been
spirited away and evidently tampered
with"
The miners counsel assured the
court the witnesses could be produced.
In four minutes after the court order
ed deputy sheriff to protect the wit
nesses, they walked into the court
room.

RAILROAD PROBE

industrial court investigate the rail-

Judge McDermott, chairman of the
court, handed the governor a state
ment that read as though it was writ
ten by publicity agents of the anti
union Santa Fe railroad.
The governor reminded the judge
that he gave only one side of the
question, and the judge replied, in
effect, that this was the only side
worth giving and that the lockout
was ended as far as the industrial
court is concerned.
"If there was ever chance to show
the courts usefulness the investiga-
tion ordered by the governor was the
opportunity" says the Kansas Trades
Unionist. Here was something the
public is demanding. 1t wants to
know what about the railroads. Rail
