CHICAGO 3 ALTON
BONDS FAVOR|TES
Rails Lead Market-Liberty
Issues Slightly Higher
Prices Hold Firm.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, December 3.-Trading
in the bond market opened the week
with firm prices and moderate ac-
tivity
The speculative rails assumed the
leadership, with the Chicago and
Alton obligations the favorites. The
first lien 3I2s advanced point over
Saturdays close to a new high for the
year. Transactions were heavy. At
35i2 this issue was up more than ten
points above the low of last January.
There was Il smaller advance in the
refundinE 3s, which are prior in lien
to the 31as.
The foundation for all this specula-
tive enthusiasm. which was apparent
III the stocks as well as the bonds,
is the good earnings under the re-
GcivreShip. Compared with 1922 net
income for the first nine months of
the present year is up to the amaZ-
ing amount of over 700 per cent,
and if earnings were to continue at
this rate to the end Of the year
not only would charges be covered
under the present capitalization but
dividend requirements on the prior
lien and the participating preferred
stock as we'll and there would still
he something left over for the COM
mon. Reports that the road will be
reorganized and the receivership
lifted. however. are believed to be
premature.
Great Western strong.
Chicago Great Western was another
road whose bonds were in favor to-
day. The first Is of 1883 ran up
above 80 for a gain of more than II
point, but stir well below the high
Of last February. In this case also
earnings show large gains. In Oc
tober Of this year net income was
Si32.49S. against a deficit of S120,661
in the same month year ago.
Among bonds of a slightly higher
grade New Orleans. Texas and Mexico
income 5s, at 50. We're up a point. and
at new high for the year. which
was also new high for all time. The
New Orleans, Texas and Mexico is d
very prosperous carrier. which earns
and pays { per cent on it's common
stock. The bond. however. pays in
tcrest only il earned. and is nom
cumulative. Elsewhere in the rail-
road list prices were steady without
great change.
Among the fractions United Rail-
ways OF st. Louis attracted attention
by an advance of 2l2 points to 81, a
new high for the year. Market Street
Railway first 5s and per cent notes
We're fractionally higher. Inter
borough bonds were irregular. Among
the industrials Derry Corporation IS
sold up to 40.
Mexican Issues Active.
The feature in the foreign group
was the activity in the Mexican
bonds. but the net gains We're small
Mid European issues were dull.
United States government loans
were mostly a little higher. but the
high-grade rails and industrials were

attitude toward the oil industry.

NEW YORK, December 3.-Specu-

TODAY,s CHICAGO PRICES.

CHICAGO, December 3.-Although
reports that Germany had completed
negotiations for new loan gave
wheat values an upward tendency at
the opening today, the market soon
declined. Upturns in price met with
aggressive selling and there was
lack Of absolute support from buyers.
a sudden break in the corn market
added to the weakness of wheat.
After opening unchanged to IS higher,
December, 1.04 to 1.04Is, and May,
1898 to Ito, wheat underwent a
moderate general fall.
Selling on the part OF houses with
eastern connections put the corn mar

weather and smallness of receipts

changed figures to 2. higher, May, "A Il

Disadvantage Seen.
The Association claims that the
Government fuel yards works to
the disadvantage Of Washington
coal dealers.
This. they explain, is true be-
cause Of the fact that IL local coal
dealers. could handle all OF the fuel
consumed in Washington that It
would reduce their overhead cost
per ton.
They point. out that under exist
Ing conditions cf the Government
buying its own. Goa. and supplying
al almost cost the coal to thou
sands of army and navy officials
that people who cannot buy from
the Government must pay from one
to three dollars more for their.
supply. than they would otherwise
have to pay.
This view, however, is not taken
NJ Government officials, who be-
lieve that should Congress abolish
the Federal fuel yards It will only
result in the United States having
to pay q higher price ana at the
same time be without ASSURANCE
Of an adequate supply.

Lenses Rlv.tsd In Helmet.

A helmet in which lenses were riv-
eted was presented to Henry VIII, In
1895, and was, as far as we know, the
flrst one Of its kind made. For many
years It was the custom to fasten the
lenses to the hat brim; but, because
all head coverings had to be removed
in the presence of the king and be-
cause the constant wearing Of the hat
was unsatisfactory for other reasons,
this system was not practicable. The
top and sides of the hat or hood were,
therefore, cut away, leaving q broad
band which circled the head. Among
the nobility this band was often
painted or otherwise decorated. It is
interesting to note that spectacles in
this lOng-gone day were procurable
only by the wealthy. as their cost,
which in most cases was several hun
dred dollars, put them far beyond the
reach Of the average man-Illustrat.

Tho Irish Notion of Poetry.

The Irish notion of poetry, writes
John Eglinton in The Dial, is differ
ent from that Of the poets Of other
nations. Irish poets are usu-
ally clever and versatile men, with
talents for affairs ana public life, and
when they write they do not wear
their hearts upon their sleeves, like
the Keatses and Shelivys and Francis
Thompsons; nor II there much risk
Of an Irish Mrs. Hemans. They cast
forth their rsveriss In riddles. When
they write they enter symbolic world
to which they alone possess the clue,
q world in which the perennial themes
Of poets, love and war, doubt and
faith, beauty and pride, friendship, adj
venture, hsroism, virtue, thought, and
Joy, are present lpdSsd, bot az II were
ataticstly, and no longer as the MOI
tive forces which psrplsx, reward al a
