LIBERTIES F|RMER
IN TRADING TODAY
Declines in Other Parts of
List Not So Large as
Earlier in Week.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 24.-Reac-
tion in the. bond market continued
today, but with declines not so large
as on Friday, when the influence Of
the advance in discount rates by the
New York and Boston banks made
itself felt. For instance, today
libertys were comparatively steady
and the Treasury AIS even showed
a tendency to advance, whereas on
Friday the United States government
bonds were relatively weaker than
the high-grade rails.
1t was the second grade bonds which
were the heaviest today. such issues
as American Smelling and Refining 5s.
There is absolutely no reason con-
nected with the condition of the COM
pany why a bond of this character
should decline. and IT is only a ques-
ton OF time when quotations will ap-
pear very attractive to conservative
investors.
Among Nails the same could be said
OF the Baltimore and Ohio obliga-
tions. practically all of which sold at
lower prices.
The foreign department was steady.
French securities were firm.

WEEK SEES GAINS
IN BULL MARKET

NEW YORK, February e4-Tb.
''bull' movement in the stock marta+
continued with a few minor inter.
ruptions during the past week. stock
market averages soaring to the
the industrial group at the high
EST est hgure since the spring Of
1870. Bonds moved within more mar

Rising commodity prices, a food. Of

marked improvement in all basic in
dustries over conditions at this time
last year and another series of favor
able dividend announcements, fur
nished the basis for the rise In stock
extensive, but the bulk of the trad
ing was still In professional hands.
Higher Prices Help Stocks.
Sales of copper metal between 1s
and l6?sc a pound, the highest
prices since 1920. drew attention to
inc copper shares, nearly all of which
registered new high records for the
year. Sugar issues. which became re-

raw sugar market last week. started
upward again In response to higher
prices for the raw and refined prod
ucts. Oil shares also strengthened on
higher crude oil and gasoline prices.
Indications of a record daily aver
age of pig iron production in 'Febru-
airy. combined with higher prices for
finished steel products and reports
that many steel mills had withdrawn
from the market as sellers of steel,
induced buying of the Independent
Steel shares Automotive shares made
a quick response to reports of record
production for this season of the year,
Rubber shares also were inclined to
stiffan on rumors of higher tire prices.
Rail Earnings Heavy.
Speculative expectation of unusual
1y favorable January earnings state
ments was noted in the railroad
group, several dividend-paying issues
registering excellent gains. Louisville
and/NaShville was one of the most
prominent, gaining approximately ten
points, buying being Influenced by re-
ports that the Interstate Commerce
Commission would soon hand down a
plication to increase the capital stock
from $72,000,000 to $125,000,000, per-
uniting the declaration of stock
dividend.
Public utility, merchandising, food,
tobacco, chemical, textile and equip
ment shares also had intervals of
strength. Shippings were the only
noticeable weak spot, falling back
slowly when it became apparent that
the ship subsidy bill was doomed to
defeat

BUSINESS BOOM
IN JEWELRY SEEN
Discoveries in Egyptian
Tomb Expected to Result in
New Gem Fashions.
BY j. C. ROYLE.
To The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 24.-The un-
covering of the tomb of Tutankhamen
has had more far-reaching effec.
on the trend Of business and fashions
than any happening in generation.
according to Pierre Cartier, one OF
the most prominent jewelers. in the
world
Fashion follows the news Cartier
said today. 1--WE may, therefore, eX-
pcct a decided Egyptian influence il,
our next jewelry modes, as a result
or the recent discoveries. These dis
coVerles are bound to have their ef-
rect on fashions and art. just as Ma
poleonS return from Egypt in the
fate seventeen tLndreds had it's eff
feet on the style of that day in deco
ratI"e and applied arts.
But before such an influence car
through the medium of artists whG
can adopt an old era to present-day
use. France has always been the
treat interpretive nation in the
arts 1t was France which translated
the Egyptian influence in the Napo-
leonlc era and il will be to Franco and
her artists that the task will be left
or interpreting the new Egyptian in
f1uence to the world.
Much of the work, however, will
be done in this country. French arr
interests and artisans are already a,
work here combining, adding to anu
subtractinS from the essentials of tn,
Iutankhamen period and that of to
day, creating new designs and pal
terms to be executed in jewelry."
Labor Shortage Serious,
Demand for copper is deyelopinl
far faster than the mines are pro
ducing. The rise in price to vel
above the siteen-cent mark ha>
started mine owners in an effort T.
increase production, but efforts H.
that direction have been badly ham
pered by lack Of labor, both skilled
and unskilled.
Higher tire prices, which had beei
predicted, are being withheld tempo
rarily, according to word from Akron
today. New price lists, which are
understood to have shown advances
aDproXimating 10 per cent. were pre-
pared by five companies, but it was
decided to hold them up for th.
present, at least.
Pre-Easter Buying Light.
The advance in the federal reserl.
rediscount rate, which was counted
on to check speculation in some o.
the commodity markets, has not vel
made a noticeable impression in tht
buying of cottons, Woolens, silks and
other commodities. In retail lines
however. the usual pre-Easter buy
ing so far has been extremely light.
This is attributed to the weather con
ditions in most sections and mer-
chants are counting on an increased
movement within the next ten days
