RAPID COMEBACK
IN FOREIGN BONDS.
French Issues Exhibit Most
Remarkable Gains-Home
Obligations Quiet.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. November 13.-Re-
spending to more favorable reports
from abroad French bonds staged n
remarkable comeback in today's mar
ket. while other foreign issues i'm
proved in only little less degree.
The break of nearly 5 points in
French SIS probably would have
brought some speculative buying in
any case, and such buying, combined
with that based on the rally in the
exchanges and the dispatches indi-
eating that the break between France
and Great Britain probably had been
averted. resulted in making up half
the loss of Friday before noon today.
French : 1lss did not rally so much.
but the decline had not been so
severe. All the French Cities issues
were up points or more Parls;
Lyons and Mediterranean 6s gained
nearly 3 points.
Belgian Bonds Also Up.
Belgian bonds also made substan-
tial recoveries and lesser gains were
recorded elsewhere in the foreign
list. There were heavy dealings in
United Kingdom 5 i2s of 1897 around
par. In the South American group
Brazil 71zs gained with the improve
ment III SleTItnS eNtidHSt- SOM
was true of the Netherlands 6s. The
recent weakness in Bolivia IS, 1t was
explained today, was due TO the COM
ing upon the market of large block
of bonds.
Trading in domestic issues was
quiet. United States government
loans and high grade rails and in
dustrials were firm but compare
lively inactive. Among the specula-
tive rails heaviness again appeared
in the ST. Paul list, with the Is OF
1925 down point. There was little
doing in Erie. St. Louis. San Fran
cisco or New Haven bonds. but Mis-
souri, Pacific As and 6s maintained
their recent gains.
Other Special Moves.
Among the industrials Wickwirc
Spencer Steel as were up point and
n half to two points. Another boui
to show noteworthy recovery was
United Railways of st. Louis As, which
sold today up two points from Satur-
DAYS close. There was fractional i'm
proyement in Cuba Cane Is and SIS.

under fairly heavy transactions.

A TOWN DIVIDED
Anchorage Times)

Anchorage I1meS)
 Our neighboring town of Seward is experiencing one of those unpleasant affairs which do more to tear down than construct The differences arise from the fact that a special election has been called to vote upon the Ques- tion of bonding the town for installa- ton and maintnance of public serv- ice plants" for the distribution of light, heat, power, telephone and wa ter service.
 Naturally the town is divided, but then the citiziens of Seward have al- ways been more or less divided, and factioanl differences never tend to create constructive policies. The question of bonding Seward, or any other town, merely devolves itself into the hard business proposition of pay ing interest on a first mortgage. h. terest in this case is certainty, there will be no three days of grace
 Seward has an adequate light, pow CT and telephone system, entailing the expenditure of many thousands or dollars for the original investment and maintenance.
Seward daily gateway., 1923-10-02

The Times is more or less familiar with conditions in Seward and we are of the opinion that a bond issue of this nature would be the height of poor business and react to the detri- ment of the taxpayers.
 Can Seward stand the additional strain? We doubt it. The issue in any event would not be less than $2O0,000 and interest on this amount added to what you've got makes just little bit more" Continued publi- cation of delinquent taxes alone proves Seward is not carrying an overwhelming bank balance. The peo- pie of Seward should realize the sit uation and thoroughly investigate the question from strictly business standpoint before voting. Added to the business angle of the issue, which really is paramount, the voters should ask themselves the serious question of whether their own home town can support two such utilities. And it's serious question and worthy of due consideration.
 Seward or any other town is as large as the citizens make it. Person alities should never enter into town affairs, or as regards questions of civic nature wherein the community derives benefits. Wouldn't it be far better for the citizens of Seward to support a we'll organized local indus try than try to block business in order to satisfy personal animosity. The citizens of Seward should get togeth- CT and eliminate personalities in the earnest endeavor to create and con- struct and keep in line with the march of progress.
 The town that is divided against it. self cannot stand. Cooperation in civic affairs is absolutely essential to progress and the splendid citizens of Seward may attain an eminent posi- tion in the list of Alaska towns thru cooperation.
