TREND IS HIGHER
IN STOCK MARKET
U. S. Steel and General
Motors Stronger-Rubber
Issues Advance.
BY STUART =. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 29.--The princi-
pal price movements on the Stock EN-
change today were higher. There
were numerous exceptions, however.
and while trading was rather more
active there was still no sign of the
public rushing back into the market
the way il had done last Autumn and
In the early Winter.
Wall Street was encouraged by the
further advance in United States Steel
and by the very conspicuous strength
in General Motors. The action of
these two stocks was taken to indi-
cate banking sentiment. Still in each
instance the rise could have been per
fectly well set down to individual
rather than general conditions.
The expectation is that United
States Steel will have extra dividends
TO declare later in the year, provided
the steel business holds up.
The rise in General Motors had little
effect upon most of the other members
of the motor group. Fisher Body went
higher on renewal of the report that
General Motors was after the minority
interest Mack Trucks was higher for
a time, but Hudson Motor was freely
supplied.
Among the public utilities there was
some buying in Manhattan modified
guarantee at higher prices. Public
Service of New Jersey was also fairly
strong. Consolidated Gas, Standard
Gas and Electric and Brooklyn Man
haitian Transit were higher. but there
was not the push in this class OF
stocks thai there had been two months
ago. Hudson and Manhattan, above
80. was getting around its top prices
again.
The rubber stocks were doing bet.
ter. United States Rubber and Good
rich particularly. Special buying con-
tinued in Allied Chemical. General
Electric had another sharp run-up and
Central Leather preferred. which had
sold as low as 43A on Wednesday, ral-
lied some 4 points.
The impression regarding the stock
market was that it was a collection
of individual movements for special
rea sons rather than any attempt to
renew the advance. For the most part
gains We're small.
Railway shares for the greater part
OF the day did little. The induStrials.
which We're going up like General
Electric. and General Motors were
doing so because OF the belief that de
velopments We're impending which
would warrant their increased valua.
tion in the market. They We're not ad

LIST |SSTRONGER
IN BOND MARKET
Interest Centers in Middle
and Second. Grade Is
sues Today.
BY GEORGE L. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to Tho Star.
NEW YORK. April 29.-The bond
market was strong again today, but
interest was centered not so much
on the United States Government
issues or on the legal railway mort
cages as on middle and second grade
bonds and on new offerings.
In the last-named category the
feature was the quick disposal of
the $37000.000 Duke Price Power Co,
Ltd, first 6s. due 1865. offered at
par. Demand for this new issue was
so large that the bonds went to a
point premium in the outside market.
In much the same way, recently
offered new South American issues
sold today at premiums over the
issue price, one example being the
Uruguay 6s. There was active
trading over the counter in all the
new bonds.
On the exchange Skelly Oil 61as took
the place Of prominence recently oc-
cupied by International Mercantile
Marine 6s. Because of the conver-
sion privilege, the oil bonds moved
points for every change of ! point
in the stock. They advanced rapidly
today to a new high and at 1872
were 4 points above yesterdays
close.
Trading in the Marine issue was
less active, but the tone was steadier
than yesterday.
Buying of the local fractions,
chiefly the Interborough obligations,
was resumed and they all made sub
stantial gains. Wall Street pro-
fesses to believe that sooner or later
the Interborough will get an increase
in fare.
The Junior railway bonds were
quiet. Chicago Great Western As
and some of the St. Paul issues were
fairly active, but there was little re-
fiection in the market of the favor
able March earnings report.
In the investment list the gilt
edge issues were steady, but did
nothing more. Ann Arbor As and
Western Electric debentures reached
new high levels.
Foreign bonds were little changed.
It was reported that negotiations
were under way between American
bankers and the government of
Brazil for a new s60,0o0.000 loan to
be placed half in New York and half
in London.

Dover, N. j., July 14 tA9 - All roads in Jerseys shell shattered area last night led back to the abandoned homes of Mount Hope, Hibernia, Picatinny and the small CT communities nestled along the narrow hillside roads and every vehicle carried worn-out refugees returning.
