Motor Vehicle Dept. Wants
 Traffic Squads on Duty

Hartford, Nov. 1. - The motor vehicle department has requested police commissioners of the cities in the state not to reduce their traffic forces this winter until a decline in traffic has been caused by the wealth CT it was announced today by the department, Increased use of closed cars has lessened the deterrent ef- feet of cold weather on traffic the department says, though a decrease is noted after snow or sleet storms or abnormal cold. As a result, in cities where traffic supervision was withdrawn last year the accident rate was abnornally high, the state- ment declares
 In letter to the police authorities urging continuance of traffic super vision Motor Vehicle Commissioner Stoeckel expresses the beief that last years open winter occasioned an over percentage of traffic hazards, due to the fact that there was hard ly any withdrawal of motor vehicles from use.
 "Commencing in May 1924, when l suppose full police supervision was renewed he says land right through to date. the beneficial effect on traffic is clearly shown"

SOFT COAL HIGHER.
Prices Advanced for Sixth Con-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 17.-Coal Age
reports the coal market as follows:
The bituminouS coal market con-
tinues to move irregularly, but the
trend is unmistakably upward. Marked
strength perVades the trade in New
England, rejecting a pickup in the
textile industry, but western Ken
lucky just now probably shows the
greatest Improvement. In Illinois and
Ohio, on the other hand, no bills"
have appeared again, though Gin
cinnati is an outstanding exception,
slack having become scarce there
Caution is in evidence throughout the
trade, which means that competition
is fairly keen.
Coal Age index of spot prices of
bituminous coal for the sixth con-
secutive time registered an advance
Last week, standing on October l3
at $174, the corresponding price for
which is $2.10. This compares with
Sill and $2.07, respectively, on Octo-
Der 6.
A slight increase in activity was in
evidence at Hampton Roads last
week, dumpings of coal for all ac-
counts during the seven-day period
ended October 9 totaling 340,447 net
tons, compared with 1899 tons han

ACTIVE SELLING
|NFRENCH BONDS
Prospect of New Loan to
France Causes Decline in
Present Issues.
BY GEORGE IT. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE pros
pect Of new $150.O00.0OO French
loan next week brought active selling
French bonds in today's market.
A report had it that the new bonds
be offered about 95, to yield tx per
cent.
Traders reached the conclusion that
on this basis outstanding French
bonds were too high, and offerings
increased until French 7ks were
down below 101 and French IS touch
ed 105. Department Of the Seine Is
went off in sympathy with French
government issues, and the Marseille
Lyon and Bordeaux 6s were heavy.
That there was any real liquida ton
of French securities by genuine inves-
tors appeared doubtful In any case
the sinking fund may be expected to
support the French IS at any time and
the 7k s when the price of the latter
touches par.
German Bonds Active.
Dealings in the new German Is were
again very heavy and the quotation
was lower. For the first time since
the initial day of trading in these
bonds the market price broke below
"a. Allotments having been made,
d
course. Up to Thursday. selling had
been restricted by the fact that the
seller did not know whether he would
have the bonds to deliver. The balance
of the foreign list was steady, and
Hungarian 712 s improved somewhat.
The general list was firmer than on
Thursday. Nearly all the active Lib
erty loans made gains, and the Treas
ury AIS again sold at their record
high. Among the speculative rails
st. Louis-San Francisco issues were
the feature. The income 6s and the
adjustment IS both made substantial
gains. Another strong spot in the
railway list was Seaboard Air Line
adjustments, up at one time a full
point
Other Moves Mixed.
Price movements among industrials
and utilities were mixed. Heaviness
persisted in the local fractions. Fair
ly large sales of Detroit United Al s
were made at Thursdays high. Oil
bonds were little higher and sugars
a little lower.
The new issues included $2,7S4,000
New Orleans, Texas and Mexico first
5L4s, due 1854, to yield 5.57 per cent
