BOND ISSUE QUICKLY
ABSORBED BY BUYERS
$25, 100000 International Tele-
phone and Telegraph Offering
Immediately 0versubscribed.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 20.-The
feature of the day in bonds was the
remarkable success of the offerings
Of 25,000,000 International Tele-
phone and Telegraph 5h per cent
debentures. Subscription books
were closed directly after being
opened and the bonds dealt in on a
when issued basis promptly went to
premium three points on the eX-
change. The price at which the
bankers asked subscriptions was SO
and the first sale on the exchange
was 102. The conversion privilege
into International Telephone and
Telegraph stock, which was the
motive back of the buying, does not
become operative until March l.,
1926, and then at 125, but the fact
that the stock is selling well above
that figure now brought about
scramble for the bonds. 1t was also
a testimony to the confidence in
vestors felt in the long-range public
utility outlook.
Prices were higher throughout the
list stimulated by the over-subscrip-
ton to the new telephone bonds; High
grade rails and industrialS were in
demand, fractional gains being scored
by New York Central 5s and b. & o.
HTSJ As, oregon w aSnlIlBtOIl halfway
& Navigation As and Western Electric
5s, which at 101 were at a new high.
The advance in the last named could
be attributed directly to the favor
shown the International Telephone
issue.
Only a moderate interest was shown
in the speculative rails. International
Great Northern adjustments had
fractional gain and some of the low
coupon New Haven bonds were
higher. Seaboard Air Line adjust
ments were strong above 80.
AS a group the convertible oil is
sues went up with their respective
stocks, the leaders being Sinclair 6s
and Skelly 6as. Chile Copper 6s
were the favorites among the copper
bonds.
In the foreign group French IS made
a new high for the year at los and
German rs were in demand, one block
of $240, 1000 par value being taken at
81, point above the low of last
week.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. August 20 Cp).-Wheat
opened higher here today because of
buying by millers at Minneapolis and
strength at Kansas City, combined
with light offerings and commission
house buying here.
The range in early trading. how
ever, was within narrow limits, al
though the market generally main
tanned strength. Kansas City values
showed a full cent over Chicago at
one time. Wheat opened Il to ~
cents higher with September at 1914
to 1.61A and December at 1.6O1h to
1.61, but later receded somewhat, al
though remaining above last night s
close.
There appeared to be an absence of
pressure to sell corn and this market
also opened higher at a shade to q
up, with September at 1.06 to 1.061R
The market then declined fractionally
and an hour after the opening was
down shade below last night s finish.

American manufacturers of cast
iron pipe have underbid French com
petitors for about 1900 tons sought
by the city of Detroit, the contract
involving 100000. The Lynchburg
Foundry Co. is understood to have
obtained $500 tons, the balance going
TO the United States Cast Iron Pipe
and Foundry Co., which also has a
contract for $50 tons for Franklin
Park, Ill, and 325.OOO tons for Fair
mount, Minn. The National last
Iron Pipe Co. will supply $50 tons to
Martinsville, Ill
All grades of pure and denatured

Wall Street statisticians state that
the recent almost perpendicular ad-
vance of 10 points in the industrial
average is rather misleading, because
it was due largely to the sensational
advance in a few high-priced issues
such as American Can, General Elec-
trio and Mack Trucks, which are
among the 20 selected issues used in
the compilation. While the industrial
average recently attained it's highest
level in history. a number of the So
called barometric stocks, such as
United States Steel common and
Baldwin, still are we'll below the high
figures established in the March ad-
vance.

STOCKS IRREGULAR,
BUT TREND UPWARD
Recessions Throughout List
Followed by Stronger
Market.
BY STUART +. WEST

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 2O.-Stocks
followed an irregular course today
but during most of the session the
important moves were upward.
Early in the day, there were re
ceSsions throughout the list United
States Steel common was heavy and SC
were numerous important industrials
It was then that Mack Trucks, foI
instance. broke eight points and sever
al other motor shares went down
sharply-White Motors well below
par and Chandler TO a new 1925 low
But in the subsequent dealings the
market turned stronger, under the
lead of the metal shares. There were
a score or more new high records, and
a number of stocks, which have not
received their share of speculative
attention, in the recent dealings, were
taken in hand.
Feature of Metal Group.
American Smelling and Refining
was the feature of the metal group
1t sold at a new 1925 top on heavy
transactions. United States Smelling
went along and so did the entire
copper share list. Kennecott rose
over a point, CRANKY over a point
while Anaconda. Chile and the rest
they had been in some time.
The new high records included, in
addition to the smelling shares. Rey.
nolds Tobacco B, Havana Electric
which rose violently; Chicago Pneu
matte Tool, General Outdoor Adver
tising, Otis Elevator, Atlantic, Gulf
and West Indies preferred, Mackay
preferred, Durham Hosiery, Fleisch.
mann and Loew. The last-named was
,+i
than 2 points.
In the speciality group CongOleum
was a feature. 1t had been dull fol
lowing the unfavorable dividend ac-
ton, but today appeared to be at
tracing some interest again. Union
Bag and Paper went up briskly.
while there were gains of point to
several points in Atlantic Refining,
Standard Oil of California, United
States Cast Iron Pipe common and
preferred, United States Industrial AL
cohol, American Express, Consolidated
Cigar and Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron. The buying in United
States Cast Iron Pipe preferred was
especially active.
Oil Held as OversoId
The oils, in the opinion of some
people, have been oversold. Others
stocks have done better the last few
days, much of the buying probably
having come from short sellers who
were exploiting the unfavorable news
from the trade. The Pan-Americans.
as well as Atlantic Refining, gave a
particularly good account of them
selves today, and there were good
sized gains in such issues as Phillips
Petroleum and General Petroleum.
The main points of strength in the
railway section were st. Louis South
western. Pere Marquette, Seaboard
Air Line and Missouri, Kansas and
Texas. All these stocks made new
high records. New Haven was still in
demand.
The closing was irregular Heavy
selling of the motors was resumed in
the final hour when Mack Trucks
broke II points below last nights
close. Operations for the rise con-
tinued, however, in United States Cast
Iron Pipe common and preferred and
Savage Arms, up 512 to 9 points.

TIE FORTUNATE CLASS

The middle classes" have been much pltied IN
late years, by themselves and others. They have
seemed, during war times and prices, to be
ground between the miIlstones OF capital and LABOR
The people who are neither rch poor have been
compared UnIaNo oraDy with the Wase-eArAlhg classes
because often they have more expensive tastes WIN
less money TO crafty them.
All this says B. c. Forbes, financial writer, IS
wrong He knows what it is to be poor, and he mas
seen much of the rch and he testfies that speaking
broadly, the people who moderately well-to-do
enjoy larger measure of happiness than either those
who have to struggle make both ends meet or those
who possess fortunes running into seven or eight or
nine figures.
thoughtful and observing people will probably
agree with him. The very successful man usually
loses somethng-health time or zest-ln the quest
for wealth which leaves him incapable OF really enjoy
ing its benefits The rich person who has not earned
his money seldom gets his full share of JOY from spend
ing it. The poor man finds it hard to happy, amid all
the material inconveniences and limitations OF his
position, unless he is very much of philosopher.
The man who has made his way and won to
modest comfort and selfrespect and the family de-
velopng with him, apprecatlng opportunities and en-
joynents because they fresh and unspoiled, and
lacking the burdens and responsibilities OF great
weath-these are the lucky ones.
