FIRMNESS IN BONDS
AGAIN IN EVIDENCE
q. S. Securities Continue as Cen.
ter Of Interest-Rails and In

BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.
Special Disps tch to The Sta,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 16.-Continued
firmness characterized today's bond
market. with, however. many traders
assuming a waiting attitude, pending
the disposal of the bonus bill in Con-
gress. 1t was generally agreed that
il the Presidents veto should be up
held there would be an immediate up
ward movement in bonds. If, on the
other hand. the bill should be passed
over the veto, the immediate effect
would probably be a certain amount
OF reaction. Even SO, however. it
was not expected that the reaction
would go far with money conditions
what they are.
Prices Around Yesterdays High.
United States government bonds
were still the center of interest today,
with prices around yesterdays highs,
which at the same time were at the
highs of the year. Today the tax
exempt 3hs made still another high
record for 1924. Not only is every
liberty loan now selling above par
and at the high Of the year, but the
third Az s have eQualed the high for
all time and the Treasury 4As have
bettered it.
Railroads and industrial investment
Buying came into the bonds just be-
low the legal class such as Pere Mar
quette SIS and in the utilities Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph deben-
ture SIS, the latter making new

as St. Louis, San Francisco Az, Kansas

Texas A SIS, were in demand. 4 good

market being the 3. & o.
Status of Speculative Rails.
In speculative rails the feature was
the heaviness in the St. Paul bonds,
especially the As of 1925. This issue
is now down more than five points
from the high of the year, made late
in March. Puget Sound AZ sold below
81 today against the high for the year
of over 60. Elsewhere in the railroad
list Erie and Scaboard Air Line bonds
were firm and b. & o. IS active and
higher.
Foreign bonds were generally
steady. French obligations were a
shade higher at one time. but specula-
ton was halted until the political out
look abroad has become clearer.

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, May 16.-The cotton
market was lower in todays early
tr-adirg, under realizing or liquidation
inspired by prospects for better
weather in the south and rumors
that more cotton was coming here for
delivery on May contracts
The opening was easy at an ad-
vance of points on May, but gen
orally to % points lower; and May
soon eased off to 31.43, or 25 points.
October declining to 1856. Selling on
the talk of warmer weather in the
southwest was promoted by reports
that cloth sales in Fall River for the
week had amounted TO only l5-0oo
pieces May notices were reported
representing about $500 bales.
Ofncial weather forecasts confirmed
private predictions of generally fair
and warmer weather in the south ard
caused the market to work off to 3l.2o
for May and 25.20 for October. or
about Sc to As points net lower The
decline was checked at midday by
covering at these figures. and there
were rallies of 4 few points from the
lowest, with the market quiet but
fairly steady.

DEALERS RESENT RUMOR.

CHICAGO, May 16.-Chicago com
mission merchants today denied
charges that old potatoes are being
sold for new at large profits by either
the wholesale or car-lot merchants,
but some of them said that possibly
retail dealers were selling Nebraska
Triumph potatoes, a variety resem
bling the new southern potatoes in
appearance, as new tubers.
w. J. Engel of F. E. Baldwin G.
Co, said commission men could not
afford to indulge in such tactics, be-
cause their customers know old po-
tatoes from new ones.
william Taylor of the Chicago
Packer said similar charges had re-
Gently been brought to his attention
and he had Investigated and found
them to be without any basis in fact
as far as the wholesaler and car-lot
merchants were concerned. He ex-
pressed the opinion that few re-
tailers may have sold the Triumphs
as new potatoes, Intentionally or not.

BALTIMORE, May 16. (SpeciaD.-

The demand for unskilled labor has
not been quite so keen, however.

STRENGTH is SHOWN
AS MARKET ADVANCES
Railway Shares, Including Atchi-
son and Union Pacific Among
Leaders in Rise.
BOOST FOR SUGAR ISSUES
Atchison and Union Pacific Among
Rails Noticeably Strong.
BY STUART y. WEST.

Special Dispatch 70 The Star.
NEW YORK, May 16.-The stock mar
ket today developed considerable strength
in the latter part of the session after a
good deal of irregularity in the early
part. Railway shares, especially the
standard dividend payers like Union
Pacific, which made a new high for the
year; Canadian Pacific and Atchison
were among the leaders.
Oil shares ran up a point to a
point and a half. Steel common
above 97~had regained more than its
entire weeks loss, and advances of a
half point to a point were common
IN other parts of the list.
Sugar stocks were helped by the
Improvement in the raw sugar mar
ket. Transactions in Cuban raws
were reported at As cents a pound,
as against the low of 3 11-16 early
in the week. 1t was felt that the
sugar market had passed through
the worst of the test afforded by the
raising of crop estimates, and the
huylng OF the sugar shares. while
1t was not following prices up. was
coming from sources which usually
nave the most accurate information
regarding sugar company earnings
ana trade conditions.
Statements on Copper List.
The Porphyry Copper statements for
the March quarter gave an interesting
IDEA of ihow the North American COM
panieS are doing with the metal around
- cents. Utah is the best situated of
the lot yet it could only show $1.31 a
. share earned. and this before the de-
pletion charge. The s4 dividend is
being earned, but with so small
margin that chances of an increase
until copper prices go up are extremely
slim. A 81 stock around 81 in a
market like the present can hardly be
considered attractive. Nevada Con-
Solldated reported for the first three
months 20 cents share and this, too
before depletion.
Had the depletion item been sub
tracted it is doubtful if anything
would nave been shown on the stock
at all Under these circumstances
the recent weakness in Anaconda
which is higher cost proposition, is
quite intelligible.
AtchiSOn Above lO3
Atchison sold above 103 for the first
time this year. Paying per cent, it
was points above New York Cen
tral, paying Z. This made it appear
that Atchison was being virtually
reckoned now as a I per cent divi-
oend issue. Union Pacific was no.
ticeably strong on what looked To he
investment buying.
Ihe fact that Chesapeake and Ohio
couiu continue so firm right following
the declaration of on1v the regular
per cent dividend, show that it was
not the prospect of an ~, odiata
dividend increase that had been ne
motive back of the recent buying.
=. however, the deal often reported
Tor an exchange OF Chesapeake and
Ohio stock for Nickel Plate We're nut
through, the former would become
automatically a 6 per cent dividend
payer. Some buying came into the
Western Maryland shares.

CAR LOADlNGS DECLINE.

BALTIMORE. May 16 Especially
Decline of car loadings on the Sea-

the week ended May last, as COM
pared with the corresponding period
of a year ago, the number of cars
loaded being 41,162 and 1888 for the
respective weeks. The drop is attrih-
uted to the fact that the late
ness of spring held back ship
ments Of early fruits and vegetables
from Florida Despite this, it is
likely that the revenues of the road
will show an increase as compared
with last year. and that the figures
for April will show a surplus over all
fixed chargez and interest.
