BUYING At PRESENT
UNDER PRODUCTION
By the Associa ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 16.-Financial
interests called attention today to
the fact that recent buying Of steel.
copper. zinc and other basic COM
modities has not been equal to pro-
duction. indicating that inventories
and surplus supplies are running
low in many lines of industry The
relaxing tendency Of commodity
prices has not affected consumption,
which in many lines is as close to
100 per cent of capacity as labor
conditions will permit. In some
quarters the opinion is expressed
that the secondary demand for ma
terials, which is bound to occur if
the present rate Of production con-
tinues, will undoubtedly change the
course of commodity prices.
Cosden Earns &4.c5 Per Share.
The annual report of Cosden &
Co. showed net profits of S5.475,02S in
1922. which is equal after preferred

shares Of common stock outstanding,
as compared with net profits OF $42S..
654, or II cents a share on 96S,355

Solar Refining Votes Dividend.
The Solar Refining Company has
payable June 20 to stock of record
May 81.
This is the first cash dividend since
the declaration Of a 100 par cent

paid out SIS in dividends last year,
including two semi-annual payments
of $5 and an extra of SIS.

Freight traffic during the first

F1RST-CLASS BONDS
G0SHADE. HIGHER
Liberty Issues Move Against

Breaks Recorded.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 16.-Prices for
good bonds were shade higher today
and feeling was little more confident.
but trading was still very dull.
There has been some buying Of first
grade rails on the theory that easy
money, lower prices for commodities
and the subsiding of speculation In
stocks would eventually make for
higher prices in this grade Of security.
So far most Of this buying has been
for the account of dealers rather than
for investors. At the same time there
Is nothing to show that the theory is
incorrect.
Liberty Bonds Lower.

eral trend. somewhat lower quota

The feature Of the market on the
declining side was the sharp break
in New York. Westchester and Bos-
ton AIS. These bonds lost nearly

for the year. They were very weak
Tuesday. Although the property on
which they are secured is very VAL
liable. earnings have been poor for
years, and under its guarantee the
New Haven has been compelled to

shown by all the New Haven obliga-
tions except the underlying divis-

fractional gains in Bolivia SIS and
fractional losses in the French TVS
