NEW YORK, January 12.-The cot

at the opening today. The buying
was even more active and general
than it was on the advance of yester-
day and prices made new high records
for the season on all positions owing
to the continued flrmness of Liver
pool and higher foreign exchange
rates. The initial advance of 16 to S5
points carried the price of May con-
tracts up to 27.56, and while there
was very heavy realizing, it was abb
sorbed by a broadening demand
which seemed to come from both foreign
and domestic trade interests, as Well
as shorts and commission houses.

DELAWARE AND HUDSON
NOT TO PASS DIVIDEND
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January IA break
Exchange in the stock of the Della
ware Hudson Company yesterday, due
to uncertainty regarding dividend ac-
tion, was followed by a statement
from l. F. Loree, president, declaring
that he anticipated no change in the
dividend policy despite the fact that
the company fell short by 100000 of
earning enough to meet operating
expenses and flxed charges in 1922.
The loss was due to decreased traffic
volume, combined with heavy ex-
penses attributed to the coal strike
and the strike of it's shop employees,
the statement said. The depression is
temporary in nature, it was said, and
attention was called to the large ac-
cumulated surplus.

BOND QUOTATIONS
LITTLE CHANGED
Libertys Move in Narrow
Range-BraziI Issues Fea-
ture of Session.
BY GEORGE It. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January ,12.-Except
in a few scattered spots the bond
market, though not weak, did not dis
play today the strength and activity
so evident in the foreign exchanges
and in the stock trading.
For new issues offered at what ap-
peared to be attractive prices there
was further ready absorption. Some
times also underlying securities
which looked like bargains were well
taken, but generally speaking bond
trading was at low ebb.
The action of the liberties was con-
sidered significant in some quarters.
For the last week or ten days price
changes here have been small and
irregular. None of the old AIS is
selling within a point Of par. The
now Treasury 4As remain firm
around the issue price, but show no
inclination to go higher. Tho trans
fer of interest from high grade in
vestment securities to second-grade
and speculative is taken by some
proach of a period of imitation. Quo
tations for time money showed no
change.
Cuban Loan Interesting.
The most interesting news of the
day In regard to new financing was
the award to the Morgan syndicate
at a price about four points higher
than that offered by any ether bid
der OF the $4,000, 900 Cuban loan.
The coupon rate will be 5 " per cent
and the price at which the loan was
awarded to the syndicate was s96.77.
Coincident with the announcement OF
the award the republic of Cuba external

advanced over three points.

The new Laclede Gas rs were also re-
ported all sold.
BrazaIs Score New High.
Among foreign bonds the features
were the new high record for Brazil
TVS, and the eQualing of the high rec
ord for the United Kingdom SIS of
1929. In both cases this was in sym
pathy with the strength in sterling
exchange. Serbian IS, however, made
another new low. In the general list
the outstanding development was the
sharp advance in all the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit issues.
The Chile Copper 6s and Is both
made new highs corresponding with
the speculative enthusiasm shown in
the stock market over the Anaconda
deal. Cerro de Pasco IS went up like
wise.
Another strong industrial bond was
