Final Day Murray Alliance Sale

Bringing the annual two day
Christmas sale to a close in a most
successful manner, the ladies of the
Murray Alliance on Hhurday night
served a delicious chicken supper to
about $50 people, in the vestry of the
Universalist church. The vestry was
beautifully decorated with Christ
mas trees, evergreens and sumac and
the tables with yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS and yellow candles.
AS the guests entered the dining
room the lights were dimmed' and
the lighted candles made a most i'm
pressive and effective picture. The
supper was served by an efficient
corps of mattresses who We're under
the direction of Mrs. Albert Green
law. The little yellow caps which
were worn by the mattresses added
much to the attractiveness of the
dinner. Mrs. Edith Gray and Mrs.
Anne Newman had general oversight
of the supper.
The second day of the sale was a
busy one in spite of the inclemency
of the weather and, especially as the
time approached for the supper, were
the various tables beseiged by eager
buyers of dainty Christmas things.
Nearly all of the articles which were
on sale were disposed of with case
during the evening.

Favored issues-More

BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE feature
of the bond market at the close Of the
week was the demand for the high
grade railroad issues coming within
the legal for savings bank" class.
Prices did not advance, but the steadi-
ness Of these issues in the face of
the weakness in the more speculative
descriptions was very impressive tes-
timony as to the abundant supply of
investment capital
Atchison General As, the typical
bonds of this kind sold within a frac-
ton of it's high of the year. and Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy-Illino
Division As, Southern Pacific refund
ing As, Atlantic Coast Line first As
and New York Central 5s, were all
very firm.
In the foreign group the leader was
again the Jugoslav IS, which made
another new high, this time above
SO. There was no sympathetic re-
Spouse in other foreign bonds.
Hungarian 71zs and Czechoslovak
IS both sagged. In the South Ameri-
can division the Argentines were
fairly firm, but Peruvian IS were
fractionally lower.
Speculative bonds, both railroads
and industrials, were affected by the
weakness in stocks. The st. Paul As
of 1925 were again heavily sold.
Among the sugars Warner Sugar Is
were especially weak, dropping a
point and a half on single string of
transactions. There was a sharp
rup-up in Manila Electric 5s.
