DEEPER HUDSON PROJECT
INDORSED BY HENRY FORD
Will Aid Scheme Which Calls for
$50 Miles of Federal &c.
Dredging.
By the Associated Press.

DETROIT. Mich, October 19-
Henry Ford has indorsed the deeper
Hudson project, which calls for fed
eral government dredging of the Hud-
son river to Albany and Troy. $50
miles above New York, 1t was learned
today following a conference between
the Detroit manufacturer and a dele
cation from the two New YoIk cities.
Mr.. Ford's approval of the plan, and
his promise to do whatever he can
to put it through was announced in a
formal statement issued by members
Of the delegation late Yesterday.
"As Mr.. Ford views it," the state
ment said, the deeper Hudson prof
ect would bring deeper sea ships $50
miles nearer the great lakes and other
commerce. producing centers of north
eastern United States. and effect a
great saving in freight. He told the
committee he was amazed, after a
study of the situation. that the Hud-
son had not been deepened many
years ago"
Mr.. Ford has a new~plant at Green
Island, at the head of tidewater on
the Hudson and the terminal of the
proposed deep channel.

STRONGER TONE IS
EVIDENT IN BONDS
Government Loans Slightly
Reactionary-Foreign
Group Holds Firm.
BY GEORGE It. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October IA better
tone was evident in today's bond
market. Good buying orders were re-
ported for securities of widely vary
pected from the tendency of money
rates to ease off that high grade
bonds would be in demand, but to-
days inquiry was not limited to Sc
curities in the gilt-edge class. Lib
ertys. and United States government
loans were even very slightly re-
dictionary. The high grade rails and
industrials were firm, with not much
change in price. There were frac-
tional advances in some of the second
grade obliga tions, such as Hudson
and Manhattan refunding So, which
may have been responding to the
favorable earnings statement.
Some Firm Issues.
A better example, however, wa the
frmness shown by American Smc; ting
and Refining first mortgage 5s ani 6s
The two are equally secured ana sell
on 81 to SIS per cent basis
That this grade Of bond should be
In demand Is a perfectly logical de-
velopment. Reasonable security COM
make for activity among bonds like
these. For long time now, however
most of the investment and specula-
tive attention has been monopolized d
by the very high-grade savings bank
issues on the one hand and the ex-
treme speculations on the other. The
genuine investor theoretically should
take no interest in either of these. but
rather In obligations returning 5h to
6 per cent. In this respect the day S
trend was distinctly encouraging.
Numerous Special Moves.
There were number of special
moves where the bonds were re-
spending to the outlook for the par
ticular companies concerned instead
of to the market in general. Marine
pathy with the advance in the stock
Selling on a more than s per cent
basis 1t was quite natural that the
bond should advance. VirginiaCa
olina Chemical issues rallied slightly
after Thursdays sharp break, but
were still heavy.
Northern Pacific bonds. all issues
were likewise heavy in sympathy
with the stock. Notwithstanding 6
their admittedly high investment rat
ing all are selling at about the lows
OF the year. even the prior lien As
the first mortgage on the system
being around the low point.
Foreign Bonds Quiet.
Foreign bonds were without par
ticular feature except the rally In
the Bolivia Ss. 1t Is little remark
able that foreign issues have been SO
little affected by the cabled reports
of the chaos in Germany.
