The murder of the Serb general

Some Selected Shares Climb
to Peaks for Year.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 23.-The
important changes on the Curb Elk
change today were recorded on the
side Of advancing prices. and not a
few of the issues selected for leader
ship were carried to their highest
prices. Trading, however. fell off in
volume at intervals and there was no
rush to buy stocks Unfortunately.
Included among the leaders was
Bunkerhill and Sullivan Mining. At
11S it was at its best and points
above the previous final. Because of
the high rate Of earnings and substan-
tial return offered share owners as a
result Of the liberal dividend policy
adopted by the directorate, 1t was a
prime favorite among mining issues
Completion Of the purchase Of the
United Mercury Mines was announced
recently, involving an expenditure Of
81, SOC, 900. This is expected to add SUBJ
stantially to earnings in the future.
On August Is last an extra dividend
of so cents a share was declared in
addition to the regular monthly %
cents. These were the same as dis
tributed on August 4.
Alabama and Great Southern issues
featured the railway group, going into
new high ground at 154A and 1855 for
the common and preferred, respective
ly. Their strength was due more than
anything else to the realization that
they are in a category of high-grade
railroad investment stocks and en-
titled to a high price level because Of
earnings.
Swift & Co. at it's highest since 1920
was moving forward in belated re-
Spouse to the better outlook for pack
ing companies. Around the current
level it was selling on basis to yield
over 6 per cent. Recent accumula-
ton of Curtis Publishing appeared to
have been justified by the action of
directors today in declaring an extra
dividend of so cents along with the
regular monthly disbursement of the
same amount.
New high records were also reached
by Gleasonite Products and Huyler of
Delaware. Atlas Portland Cement
strength was noted in Gillette Safety
Razor. Bancitaly selling ex the re.
cent stock dividend opened at 104 and
subsequently sold higher, against the
previous closing Of 116A.
The oils were featured by an urgent
demand for Imperial Oil of Canada,
which was carried forward more than
8 points to a new high for the year,
and Indiana Pipe Line. which reached
a new top at Is.
Philadelphia Electric featured the
utilities in the late afternoon selling
into new high ground. 1t was re-
ported an agreement has been reached
between the United Gas and I'm

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 23.-There
was not so much activity in the bond
market today, but the demand for
high-grade issues continued, with
quite q large number of them selling
at new high prices. The general do.

ing at any time since the war.

fact that the yield on them is drop.

per cent. Atchison general As, at a
new high today, were quoted on a
AIS basis. Baltimore & Ohio As sold

Burlington general As. U. s. Steel
sinking fund 5s at 1892 give the
holder 4.40 per cent. Bell Telephone
Of Pennsylvania IS above 107 are on
slightly less than 2 Az per cent basis.
Yields Are Low.
In order to obtain Az per cent or
better on good rails the investor must
now go into the non-legal class. This
accounts for the recent strength in
such issues as Frisco prior lien As,
which at 80 returned 4.S0 per cent.

gust earnings, the 61a per cent bonds

pared with price of 971s some months
ago when the monthly statements of

They will lose their convertible value

Oil Bonds Attractive.
On account of the high income re-
turn which they offer, there has been
an accumulation recently Of the bonds
of oil producing and refining COM
panies. 1t is felt that although divi-
dens Of some of the corporations may
not be paid again for some time. there
is abundant margin of safety for their
bonds. Those who desire high income
are willing to take the slight specu-
lative chance that faces them.
