STRENGTH SHOWN
IN FRENCH BONDS
Other Foreign Obligations
Are Steady-RaiI and Oil
Liens Unsettled.
by GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 17.-Trading
in bonds proceeded today along much
the same lines as on Monday. Specula-
tive descriptions were heavy. In some
cases weak; the high-grade investment
descriptions were steady, but dull. The
one grade In demand was good short
term obligations. for the very good rea-
son that no risks were being taken by
the buyers in this case either as to
money or as to the industrial outlook.
Rally In French Bonds.
The feature in the foreign list was
the moderate rally in French bonds
The general opinion in the Street was
that the buying was coming from inn
portant banking houses rather than
from individual investors attracted by
the low price. The French rs got
above 80. as against Mondays low
under 50. The recovery in the other
French issues was not so pronounced,
but the selling had not been as heavy,
either. The Greek rs. for which the
syndicate was closed Monday. were
firm only a half point under the Of
fered price
In over the counter dealings the
market for new foreign offerings
such as German industrials, was very
thin and sellers made liberal conces-
Sions.
St. Paul Issues Improve.
Among the speculative rails the
st. Paul issues were a shade better.
The comparative steadiness Of the
AIS of 1882 again attracted attention.
The selling seemed to be principally
confined to the As Of 1925. Some in
crease of activity came into the gen.
eral mortgage bonds but without
much change in price. Missouri-Kan-
sasTexas adjustments were heavily
dealt in and fractionally lower.
Important new offerings included
s., ,0O0, 900 Glidden Co. first 6s, matur-
ing serially to yield from 4.75 to 6
per cent, and $2,500.000 City Of Graz
IS, to yield SIT per cent.

SEVERE BREAKS
IN STOCK MARKET
Many Leading Issues Under
Heavy Selling in Late
Afternoon Trading.
BY STUART T.. WEST.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, February 17.-Today's s
stock market was very unsettled. fol-
lowing the severe break of the preced-
ing day, which carried prices down
from an average of points to over
10 in several instances. Early in the
session prices were inclined to steady
and covering purchases had the ef-
feet of rallytng some stocks.
Active Issues Tumble.
There were stories of support being
accorded such leaders as United
States Steel common. but 1t was no.
ticeable that many of these active
issues fell back sufficiently to more
than cancel the recovery from Mon
days lows. Further increases in
crude oil quotations failed to help the
oil shares. The skyrocketing of specu-
lative stocks in the recent trading
had evidently caused a closer scrut-
my of loans by banking interests.
The unloading Of weak speculative
holdings and the haste with which
traders were taking profits where
there were any Influenced the selling
Crucible Steel and Bethlehem made
new lows. There was a battle royal
in United States Steel common around
1874 American Smelling around SS
was off 11z points, but subsequently
u.
metal were reported a fraction off
from the recent selling level, and
this probably Influenced sentiment.
Covering in OIL Shares
The advance in petroleum prices In
the midcontinent field brought about
some covering in oil shares which
had been particularly weak on the
previous day. But the movement was
very much mixed. Texas Company
dropped below A., where 1t was under
Mondays low. The new interests in
Independent Oil and Gas appeared to
be Offering some support between rs
and rs. The trading in Pan-Ameri-
can B around 20, the closing figure
of the previous day, was very heavy.
in the oils were limited to fractions
both ways.
At 1861 Baldwin Locomotive was
off over IL points from It's high of
1925. On the whole, however. the
Street had pretty we'll anticipated the
1924 report, which showed only ST.
$4,000 earned against $S.500,000 the
year before.
American Smelling Breaks.
American Smelling broke badly on
word from San Francisco that the
United States Circuit Court had found
against the company along with
Phelps Dodge in the case involving
the patent of a smelter feeding de-
vice invented 10 years ago. This de-
cision involves damages and royalties
said to amount to $2O,000,000. There is
a similar suit against the Anaconda

BY LELAND oLDs.
Federated Press Industrial Editor

No improvement in the unemploy-
ment situation is shown in the en-
ployment report of the U. S. depart.
ment Of labor for November, 1924. The
figures drawn from 6,773 establish.
ments employing over 100000 work
ers show that thruout the month the
level of employment remained more
than 10 per cent below that of Novem-
Der, 1928.
The report shows decrease in the
total amount paid out in wages due
in part to wage reductions and in part
to reduced operations. Total wages
were 1872 per cent short of those dis
bursed in November, 1928, while per
capital earnings were down 3.5 per
cent.
The general level of employment
shown in the departments index is
about 10 per cent lower that the aver.
age for 1919 In other words about
1,700,0 900 of the 100000 shown in the
census Of manufacturers in that year
were off the payrolls in November,
1924.
Decreases in employment of more
than 10 per cent compared with year
ago were reported in 20 industries
while % industries showed total wage
payments lower by more than one
tenth.
The situation is shown by industrial
groups as follows, the figures repres-
enting decreases as compared with
Nov. 1928:
