BONDS
MARKET LEADERS
New York Traction and Sugar
Issues Attract Most
Attention Today.
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. November city,
higher-yielding bonds absorbed practi'
cally all Of the trading attention I'm
the bond market today. The two
most prominent groups were the local
fractions and the sugars. both of
which scored substantial advances.
In the traction list the Interboro
issues were the leaders, and among
them the SO notes Of 1882, which were
UP over G. point and a half, crossing
so to a new high for the year. This
is an unsecured obligation. but gives
the largest yield of all the Interboro
bonds. Interboro Is were up over
a half point above 9S and also at
new high for 1926. There was more
moderate improvement in the refund
ing 5s, Third Avenue adjustments
crossing 60 once more. and the re
funding As were fractionally higher.
Against these advances in New York
City traction securities was a decline
in Chicago Railway IS.
The Cuba Cane bonds were the
most active of the sugars. The Is
and the Ss are equally secured now,
the bank loans to which the SIS We're
subordinated having all been paid off
three years ago. Both advance
easily today to new highs for tn"
movement, the bonds carrying
conversion privilege into commou
stock at a price for the stock jus
under $46 share. Eastern Cub
Sugar 71as, the obligation of a Cub
Cane subsidiary. were also up today.
Other features included Cities SerN
ice Power and Light IS. which at 97i.
duplicated the previous best price thi>
year, and Chicago, Terre Haute AMI
Southeastern refunding 5s and income
bonds, both of which sold around theit
recent top. The speculative rails
however, were not as active as mos
Of the last week and some of them
were inclined to sag off. The strictly
high grade investment group was sin
ply dull. United States Steel sinking
fund 5s also sold above 107, but Were
a point below the record made a few
days ago.
Foreign bonds were not importantly
changed. French Is and French 71aS
were down fractionally, but some al
the French railway issues Were
higher.

Baldwin Continues Advance

BY STUART p. WEST.


NEW YORK, November 22.-The
stock market started the week under
the impulse of a moderate accumula.
ton of over-Sunday buying orders.
The execution of these produced gen.
sTally higher prices and a larger vol

trading quieted down. but the early
advances were as rule maintained
ard in some instances increased.
Baldwin Locomotive, continuing its
remarkable advance, sold above $50
Cor the first time since 1916. There
was a good deal of talk about the
picking up in the company's business.
but even the most Sangutne estimates
lid not place the probable activity OF
the Baldwin plant at more than 90
per cent OF capacity. Practically the
whole emphasis was laid upon the
scarcity Of the floating supply, which
vas variously estimated between
90. 900 and $4,000 shares. Not so much
was said about the possibility OF
corner, because it was believed that
the outstanding shorts had pretty

Motor shares for the most part did
better on reports that after the recent
lull business was picking up. Cen
eral Motors ran up sharply for a time
and SO did Mack Trucks. Nash
Motors, Willys-Overland. du Pont ana
Hudson Motor were higher. Wnlie
among the shares of the motor sup
ply companies Stewart-W at one
stage was quite prominent and so was
Timken Roller Bearing.
On top of last weeks advance OF
nearly points Philadelphia co. had
q. further sensational rise. Naturally,
n movement of such magnitude oc-
casioned all sorts of comments as TO
the possibility of new mergers in the
public utility field which might AFFECT
Philadelphia Co. and Standard Gas as
the owner of the majority of the
stock. 1t was said that only per
cent of the Philadelphia Co. capital
remains in the hands Of the public.
the rest all having gone into the
Standard Gas treasury.
Steel shares bore their full part
during the periods while the market
was advancing. Here the idea was
that such recessiOnS as have occurred
in the steel industry are no more than
seasonal and not likely to last beyond
December at the outside. 1t took only
a small amount of buying to put
United States Steel up. Offerings of
Sloss- Sheffield were scarce as the
stock shot forward.

eral trusteeship over Indian property,
the personal life of the Indians, en-
abling the Indians to bear their re-
sponsibilities and claim their advan-
tages as the first Americans. 1t is
proposed to turn the Federal appro-
priations for Indian education, health
and social welfare over to the States.
to be administered through the State
agencies which are serving white
populations. 1t is proposed also to
bring the United States Department of
Agriculture, the Children's Bureau
and the Public Health Service into
action for Indians. The trusteeship
over property WOulU logically go un-
der the Federal courts. The Indians
would be permitted to organize, to
form cooperative societies, credit
banks and corporations as white
farmers and stockmen are now allowed
to do. Such is the program of the
American Indian Defense Association,
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs and the Indians themselves,
who are now organized into the Ma
tional Council of American Indians.
