ELECTRIC TRADE QUIET.
Sales Of Lamps Increasing All Over
Country.

NEW YORK, October 1T.--A de-
gree of caution is noted in the cleo
tricaI trade. with jobners and man
ufacturers in all sections apparently
holding back to avoid movements
that have developed in the last three
weeks, says the Electrical World.
Sales of lamps are increasing rap
idly in all parts of the country. but
stocks and production are supplying
the demand easily. orders for minia-
ture lamps are unusually heavy. due
largely to the fact that most automo-
bile owners are carrying extra kite
of lamps for requirements on the
road.
"InstalIation of new machines is
making possible greater output and
easier operation, which will result
in lower production costs after they
have paid for themselves in about
three and one-half years time"

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October t7.--Whiie the
general bond market today maintain
ed the sluggish tone which has been
so characteristic Of trade for weeks
past, there was an encouraging dis
play of interest in high-grade secur-
tiles selling on. a 5 to 5A per cent
basis.
Examples are Great Falls Power SIS
of 1910 among utilities and Elgin.
Joliet and Eastern hrst bs OF 1s41
among rails Both. these issues are
listed on the stock exchange, but
most OF the dealings are over the
counter" And trades today were
made in both around as TO BIO per
cent basis. +. The, Great Falls Power
Company earns Its interest charges
three to four times over, and the
Elgin. Joliet and Eastern does almost
as well.
/. Bonds of unqusstionabie merit such
as these were readily absorbed today.
Liberty Bonds Firm.
High-grade securities. including
liberties, were, firm but without much

illustration of the type of security
in demand at present. not a legal In
vestment for savings banks III this
state, but very highly secured and
selling on about 5A per cent basis.
United States Steel sinking fund Is
sold above 102 again. where the yield
Is only about 4.9 per cent, but the
operation of the sinking fund. under
which more than $l,000,000 par
value OF bonds are redeemed annually
on April J at ITO, tends to keep the
price up.
Among the speculative rails there
was continued heayiness in the st.
Paul issues. although the yield basis
on which the bonds are selling would
appear to have discounted about all
the known unfavorable features. For
instance, the convertible AIS of 1882
yield more than i3 per cent at the
market and the nearest maturity;
the 4s, due June !. 1895. even more.
Heaviress also was noticeable in Chi
cago and Alton 3iss. Slightly better
inquiry was reported for New Haven
Issues. There was no important
change in the 3. & .. list.
