business of New York Market To-

Il Character.
BEARS SHOW MORE CAUTION
Variation Seen in Effects Of Re-
cent Short Selling.
BY STUART r. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 2S.-The yoluml
OF business was still further reduced
n the stock market today and the
trading was more than ever profes-
sional. The bear party had been rem
dered more cautious by Tuesdays eX-
perience, which had demonstrated a
greater degree of resistance to short
selling over n considerable part OF
the list Operations for the decline
were renewed, however, against in
diViduaI stocks believed to be in ar
unfavorable position. One OF these
was American Woolen and another
was American Sugar.
American wooIen mt New Low.
There was nothing new to account
TOR the drop in American Wooden &c
he lowest it has sold this year. The
wooden industry is not badly of, like
the cotton industry. Yet 1t has the
same problem of high wage costs
which it has been unable to pass on
10 the consumer. Fears of dividend
reduction are the explanation for the
present weakness.
In the case of American Sugar, the
motive back of the selling has been re-
pcatediy pointed out. 1t was impossible
last year for the average refiner to make
money because he found himself unab 4
TO keep pace with the fluctuations Of the
raw sugar market. So far as American
Sugar is concerned it appears that con-
uitions have continued unproftable this
year. BY drawing To the full upon in
NcStments i'll sugar growing properties
the company last year was able to cover
the preferred dividend and leave q small
balance for the common. But until the
refining end of the business takes a
turn, which at present seems far off
American Sugar common must be classed
a hopeless non-dividend payer, and as
such seeking its proper selling level in
the market.
Cuban Producers Fare Better.
shares OF Cuban Sugar Producers
on the other hand, did better. They
were following another rise in raw
sugar prices, i'll the course of which
transactions were reported at an ad
vance of a half cent d pound over last
weeks low.
The street continued to speculate
over the explanation for the Specia
strength in Colorado Fuel and Iron.
The rise in the stock could only
have been accounted for on the
ground of the recent improvement in
earnings, the surplus for the first
quarter amounting to S5S0,O0o against
1872, 500 year ago.
As expected, Mexican Seaboard di-
rectors declared a dividend of 5C
cents a share, but the effect had been
discounted in the stock. Atlantic
Refining had particularly sharp re-
bound, and Royal Dutch was in de-
mand otherwise, the oil group
merely followed the course of tho
general market.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGOn April 2S.-Wheat traders
marked time today during the early
dealings and effected no decided change
in prices. Apparently neither sellers
nor buyers were willing to make any
determined stand for the time being
and were confining their efforts to ad-
justment of open accounts.
The bulk of wheat transactions con-
sisted of changing over from May de-
livery to July. Opening prices. which
varied from Il off to IS up, May 1.03M
to 1.031a and July 1.05%, We're followed
by only small changes in either direc
ton.
Corn and oats held steady with wheat.
After opening unchanged to u lower,
May 77S to 771a, the corn market dip
ped little and then scored slight gains
In some cases.
Oats started at saK decline to 4

later duplicated the action of corn.

IRREGULAR MARKET
FOR BONDS TODAY
Liberties Firm and u. S. Treasury
4 14s Make Another New
High.
FOREIGN ISSUES ABSORBED
Greatest Reaction Is Noted in In
dustrial List.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 23.-Irregularity
and uncertainty characterized today's
trading in bonds. Liberties were firm
and the Treasury AZ s made another
new high, but high-grade rails were
inclined to drag. Foreign bonds were
strong almost without exception, but
domestic industrials and speculative
rails were reactionary.
1t was evident that the buyers of
United States government loans were
not ready tc extend their operations
TO the railroad and industrial list
lf the strength in liberties were con-
fined to the short-term issues 1t
would be easier to understand why
tong-term railroad bonds should be
neglected.
But the fact was that the govern
ment issue relatively the strongest
was the one of longest term. Most
probable explanation is that Libertys
have been selling out OF line with the
rest OF the Investment market
Foreign Bonds Popular.
With only minor exceptions under
pfoht taking the absorption of for
elsn bonds went on today. All the

can Sugar Refining 6s made a new
low record for the year. These bonds
were originally offered in December,
1927. at 9s y and sold more than a
point below that price today. The
decline is doubtless due in sympathy
to the slump in the stock. United
States Rubber 5s sold below so again
and there was a further drop in VIII
son a Co.'S convertible 6s, although
the 712s rallied somewhat American
Agricultural 7h S and Marine 6s were

USE DUUGH IN MATCHMAKING
Minute Screws Make 1t Necessary for
Special Method to Be Employed
in Their Handling.

In the manufacture of watches flour
plays a rather important part, two
barrels of flour a week being not un-
usual in factory turning out 1000
70 1900 watches weekly. Since baker
uses about three pounds of -four to
FIVE loaves Of bread, it follows that
for every watch the maker uses the
equivalent of almost third of loaf.
The flour is made into dough and the
dough is used to handle screws, rivets
and other small parts.
Each man in that part Of the busi-
ness has a lump of dough always at
hand; and when he wants to examine
a screw he jabs the piece of dough on
It. Then, turning it over, he has a
good chance to look at it with his
watchmakers microscopic eyeglass
Many of the screws are too minute to
pick up easily with the fingers, and
many more, though large enough to be
picked up, would be SO covered by
the fingers or the forceps as to be al
most hidden from sight.
