regular dividend at the rate Of . per
cent.

variety of specialtieS Of the type of
Mack Trucks, Associated Dry Goods,
Owens Bottle. Reynolds Spring. Brown
Shoe and Famous Players. Brown
Shoe was bought in expectation that
the greatly improved earnings of the
company will bring about a dividend
distribution.
The prominence of United States
Steel in the advance. both Tuesday
and today, from speculative stand
point, was calculated to inspire great
er confidence in the general market
movement. The pools in Marland Oil
and Phillips Petroleum were busy
again, maintaining that earnings and
prospective warranted higher divi-
demls and consequently justified Il
bullish position on the stock. Among
the equipments Baldwin Locomotive,

BONDS ARE HEAVY
Government Issues Proves Exception
With Slight Rally, However.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
New York. March 2S.-The more
cheerful feeling in stocks found no
counter part in today's bond market.
High grade investment securities
continued very heavy, in some cases
new lows being recorded. u. $. gov
eminent bonds were an exception.
Here there was a slight rally from
Yesterdays extreme weakness. but
liquidation in first grade corporation
securities went on undated and in
veStOrs seeing the trend stood aside
waiting better prices.
The result is that there are many
cases such as that of Illinois Steel de-
benture lbs which yield at toady's
price about DC per cent. This bond
is guaranteed principal and interest
by the United States
Steel Corporation which owns all the
stock of the company. While not Sc
cured by mortgage. the company has
no mortgage indebtedness.
Second grade bonds moved irregu-
larry.
In the foreign list about the only
feature was an advance in Chinese
Is and reaction in Czechoslovak SIS.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

The advance on the stock exchange
today might have been taken as an
expression of relief that nothing dis
turbing was to happen Mt the con-
ference of Federal Reserve governors,
or it might have been interpreted as
speculative Wall Street accepting the
non-action Of the Reserve Board as an
invitation to go ahead with its inter-
rupted campaign.
At all events the essential thing
was that the decline of the last fort
ni,.ht had corrected the main weak
nesseS in the market position. 1t had
carried prices off > and 10 cents from
their highs in the early part of the
month. Ii had undone. over large
part of the list, fully half of the rise
since February l. Consequently the
market was in shape 10 respond TO
good news from any quarter and was
ready 90 believe in the Washington
dispatches which represented that
business and credit conditions had not
re. ched stage yet where an advance
in Federal Reserve rates was regapl-
cd as necessary.
4 striking instance of how Wall
street has been putting its faith in
rumorS was afforded by the action of
the New York Central directors at
their delayed meeting in declaring
only their regular dividend ut the rate
of , per cent. \ month ago when
speculative enthusiasm was rs its
height and nearly every market letter
writing was eulogizing the prospects
of the railway shares. a dividend in
crease on New York Central stock
was taken for granted. :,
The only question was whether the
increase would be from = to q or from
} TO 4 per cent. Naturally the dis
appointment ut today's decision was
very keen. especially as it came along
with the February traffic statements
showing a heavy slump in railway net
incomes rs compared with the month

STEEL DEMAND HEAVY.
Prices Continue Upward But Orders
Pour In.
Pittsburg. March 2S.-There

Pittsburg. March 2S.--There is no
reduction in steel demand in this sec
ton, although steel price levels con-
time to rise. Some building plans
in various sections have been post
poned on account Of present costs, but
these are very few in comparison TO
the great volume of building planned
or under way.
Mills and furnaces are being pushed
to meet demands of buyers and are in
receipt of inquiries for larger ton
mage than they are willing to quote
on.
Demand for glass also is especially
keen and is expected TO increase to
be dependent largely on the trend of
wages.
