NEW ENGLAND s
SAVINGS LEAD
By RICHARD HATToN

A recent statement regarding the
amount Of individual savings de.
posted in the Lanks of the. country
during the present year indicates
that the average amount saved per
individual was greater in New Eng
land than in any other section OF the
country.
In this connection. and indicating
why the savings in New England
have registered high mark, the
following expressions from President
Herbert L. Tinkham, OF the w. l..
Douglas Shoe Company, may be
taken as a criterion Of general BUSH
ness conditions.
Mr.. Tinkham said today: IF our
own experience of the past few
months is any Indication. New Eng
land industries in general and the
shoe industry in particular are well
on the way toward greatly increased
production and prosperity. Since
we started manufacturing on this
run. July /, we have several times
been obliged to increase production.
Our own retail stores In all parts OF
the country are reporting very salts
factory business. In fact, our great
est problem las been to keep the
different styles properly sized to fit
all customers.
:sOur statesmen are sending in
larger orders than for several years
in great majority OF cases. With
the single exception OF the cotton

TRACTORS STRONG
IN BOND MARKET
Investment List Is Steady
Trading Is Concentrated
in Speculative Issues.
by GEORGE II. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star


NEW YORK, May 2s.-Investment
issues were steady in today's market
but trading activity was concentrated
almost exclusively on the speculative
and semispeculative bonds.
The fractions again were con-
spicuous. but it was the out oftown
descriptions which were adva ncing
while the obligations of the local COM
pa nies. or at least some of them, were
reacting.
The weak feature locally was New
York Railways obligations. The in
come 6s, which had closed yesterday
at S3l2. sold down to 81 without a
rally. The prior lien A Is, which had
lost point and half. Third Ave
nue. adjustments dipped below 60 in
sympathy, but afterward recovered.
The Interboro bonds and notes and
BroOklyn Manhattan 6s held firm.
In the out-of-town group, Chicago
Railways 5s We're very strong, ap-
preaching rs. in contrast with the
preceding close of 73. The belief was
expressed that the expiration OF the
franchise next year would not inter
rupt ooerations nor affect the status
of the bonds. There was a remark
able runup in New York State Rail
purchases OF comparatively few bonds
New Orleans Public Service 6s also
gained a point.
Cuba Cane IS added nearly a point
to their recovery and were the feature
among the sugars. At 96 they were
up points from their recent low
Oil bonds maintained their position
but were not as strong as earlier In
the week. An industrial bond TO gain
point was Walworth Co. 61as.
The Junior rails were not as promi'
nent as might have been expected con-
sidering the strength and activity in
railroad stocks. New Haven and Sea
board issues were the favorites in the
buying on the exchange, while the
over-the counter trading seemed to he
occupied more with Erie prior lien As
and the Erie convertible "A" and "B"
bonds.
Foreign bonds were mostly shade
higher. Hungarian 7i2s got up to
90. which was the previous 1926 high.
Anton Jureens 6s at 1l0 were up 2
points from Thursdays low.

NEW YORK. May 2S.- teel shares

United States Steel common restored
to leadership whole market as
sumed an air of more confidence than
it has at any time since the culmina-
tion Of the downward movement in
the early part Of May.
The entire list in one degree or an
other took part in the upward move
ment. AS United States Steel on large

The motors were not az conspicuous
as they have been. but they were
strong. Mack Trucks. in which spe-
ciaI buying has been going on for the
last week, was in demand again
White Motors ran up over point.
Nash Motor and General Motors went
along.
In the railway section the upward
drift was general. Atchison, above
140 on rumors of increased divl-
dends. was one Of the prime features.
Canadian Pacific made another new
high, The buying movement took In
Pittsburgh & West Virginia. New
York Central, Reading, Pere Mar
uuette. Delaware, Lackawanna q
Western, Wabash and Wheeling d
Lake Erie. Now that the period or
unusual maintenance appropriation
is over and net earnings increases are
piling up, there is logical basis for
expecting larger returns to railway
share owners.
Public Utilities were busy again.
Interboro Rapid Transit was selling
we'll around high figures. The rise In
consolidated Gas was sustained.
Some large blocks OF Brooklyn Union
Gas changed hands at higher quota
tions. Whatever individual opinions
might have been regarding the situa-
ton of the public service commission
Of New York permitting an increase
in telephone rates. II was looked
,,pon from the Wall Street standpoint
az decidedly favorable for Public
Utility issues.
Oil shares bore their part In the
rise. There was nothing remarkable
about trading In this quarter, but
during the greater part of the tune
stocks like Marland, Shell Union, SIN
clair and General Petroleum were
forging ahead. In brokerage circles.
where for some time the rails and OILS
have been highly commended, the
davs developments were pleasing.
