EASY MONEY FELT
IN BOND DEALINGS
New York fractions, Erie
ConvertibIes and Foreign
Issues Are Leaders.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 5.--The influence
of easy money on high-grade bonds
and of an aggressive speculation in
stocks on junior issues again was
clear in today's bond market.
1t is anticipated that the Treasury
may make an announcement on
Monday to the effect that the remain.
ing second Liberty AIS will be re-
deemed on November Is. This would
stimulate the general investment lisf
and provide additional funds for bond
purchases. The Government group
was strong today with the fourth
4As above 104.
Activity was greatest in the local
fractions, in Erie convertibles. and IN
the general list of foreign government
and corporation issues. The fractions
moved up to the highest range of the
year. Accumulation of them has been
in progress for some time both on
account of better earnings and the
slow but sure headway being made
toward a co-ordinated surface and
underground system in Greater New
York.
Erie at High Level.
The movement in Erie convertible
"Ds" carried them back to approx
imately the high level of the year
and IL points above last weeks low.
This was in sympathy with the rise
in the common stock and prepara-
tions for bringing out an issue of $40
000,0 of Erie Railroad per cent
bonds on about a $40 basis.
Legal rails moved up quarter TO a
half point, the largest gain being in
Baltimore and Ohio refunding 6s,.
which touched 10.
Not so much activity occurred In
the French issues, which. however,
held most of the advance of the pre-
vious day. Argentines sold at the best
| prices since the last offering of 6s was
| made and the Japanese public utilities
| were higher than at any time since
| they began to recover a week ago.
Italian issues were inclined to be
heavy. The German group was ir-
regular.
A more cheerful feeling regarding
| the California oil situation was reflect.
ed in fractional improvement i'm the
bonds of oil producing and distribut-
ing companies.
Boycott Junior Bonds.
Considerable attention has been given
to statement issued this week to the
effect that life insurance companies
and savings banks have practically
boycotted the junior bonds of rail-
roads operating in the Northwest,
having made virtually no purchases of
such bonds in the past four years.
The purpose of this is to emphasize
the need of fairer return for the
Northwestern roads.
During the period of greatest bond
market appreciation in the past year
the average advance in list of six
inv
tributed and strong credit lines,
| namely Atchison adjustments, BaIti-
more and Ohio refunding 5s, Illinois
Central refunding 5s, Louisville and
Nashville refunding SIS, ST. Louis
San Francisco prior lien 5s, Southern
Railway consolidated 5s and Union Pa
cific refunding 5s, has been IL points.
At the same time the average gain in
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Chicago and Northwestern refunding
5s, has amounted to over points.

MOST GROUPSR|SE
! IN STOCK MARKET
Utilities, lnduStriaIs, Oils and
r Motors Advance in To-
days Dealings.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK. May 5.--The trend of
prices in stocks again was upward
today. Most of the news was favor
able, but it is doubtful whether the
general market was responsive so
much to developments affecting indi-
vidual issues as TO the demonstration
1t had given of its own inherent
strength yesterday. The fact that the
industrial averages had pushed
through their previous high for the
year encouraged speculation for the
rise and the overnight orders We're
predominantly buying ones.
Nearly every group shared in the
advance at one time or another. The
utilities came into favor early in the
session. High-grade seasoned diVi-
dend-paying shares of the type of
BROOKLYN Edison, Detroit Edison and
American Telephone G. Telegraph were
the objects Of investment demand.
Brooklyn Edison made new high
for the year, and, Detroit Edison, do
ing the same, gained a point between
sales. Philadelphia Co, now minor
ity stock, added to its yesterdays rise
of more than points.
Strength i'm Utilities.
Strength in the higher-grade util-
ities eventually spread to the more
speculative stocks representing
equities in holding companies, such
as electric power and light. Amer
lean and Foreign Power and National
Power and Light. The first-named
made a new high for 1927.
In the general industrial group
new buying and short covering SEEM
ed to be about evenly divided. Inter-
national Paper rallied briSkly from
the low of the preceding day. Union
Bag and Paper ran up over points.
Radio was higher, while among the
high priced leaders Commercial Sol
istic advances. General Electric was
the strongest of the investment in
dustrials as it crossed SO.
There were one or two exceptions,
but they did not attract great deal
OF attention because of the strength
of the market as a whole. Selling
Of some of the rubber and tire
shares followed publication of re-
ports that the long -talked-of advance
In the price of tires had been indeti-
nitely postponed. u. S. Rubber
weakened on offerings influenced by
this talk, but subsequently rallied.
Oils Were Higher.
Oils were higher for time also. It
has come to be the expected thing
for short covering to appear in the
oils early in each days session, but
generally gains are not held to the
end. The average trader hears so
much about the distress in the oil in
dustry that he is apt to conclude moth
ing worse can happen and that the
next change must be for the better.
This reasoning has made shorts timid
and other spectators reluctant about
inaugurating fresh operations for the
decline.
Leadership of the motors today
went to Hudson. Estimates of earn
ings for the first half of the year were
highly favorable. and the stock ran
up to a new high for 1927. Mack
Trucks also was aggressively bought.
White Motors gained a point and
Chrysler. Nash, Studebaker and Will
lys Overland went along more or less.
General Motors seemed to be consol-
idating its recent gain, but it held
within a pointfor so of the new top
made Wednesday.

ADVERSE WEATHER
GIVES WHEAT BOOST
Unfavorable Crop Conditions in
Northwest and Southwest Have
Bullish Results.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Material fresh
upturns in wheat resulted today from
further adverse weather in the North
west and Southwest as well. Crop
comment from typical domestic Spring
wheat territory was that the season
is late and conditions must be favor
able hereafter to make an average
yield. Starting % to %aN higher,
wheat scored some additional gain.
Corn, oats and provisions were rela-
lively easy, corn opening at Il to
y advance, but later receding to be-
low yesterdays finish.
In addition to unfavorable weather
today over both Spring wheat and
Winter wheat territory, an incentive
to buyers here was a sharp new
advance in quotations at Liverpool,
The strength abroad appeared to be
largely due to a decided falling off
in the volume of shipments from
Argentina, estimated at more than
one million bushels decrease for the
week.
Snow as well as rain was reported
today from Alberta province in Can.
ada. European countries were also
again complaining of unfavorable
weather, with Winter wheat growth
making only slow progress and with
Spring seeding generally behind
schedule.

At the annual meeting of the direc-

Co, held at noon today in Alexandria,
earnings for the year ended February

for depreciation and taxes, were re-
ported as 81 ,009, 1921.
With the exception of the employe
savings fund of 500 .592.S6. the year
closed with no bills or accounts pay

Inventories decreased $24 1000, 900, leav-
ing current assets of $4,547 564.59, a
net gain of $423,000 for the year after
payments of dividends.
Regular quarterly dividends were
paid amounting to a total of $3.50, 900,
and the policy of creating adequate
reserves for depreciation and patents
has been continued.
Notwithstanding the increase of
bills and accounts receivable, resulting
from a larger business during the
year, necessitating the use of more
capital, the report states that the
company's cash position has been
such that no money was borrowed.
