BEST BONDS RISE

NEW YORK. September os.-High.
grade bonds were in special favor to-
oay In market that was more active
than at any time this week and re-
hected the purchases for the account
OF institutions and wealthy individ.
uals. The element of income return
old not enter into the situation great
oeaL Prices were easily advanced on
account OF the difficulty in obtaining
slzable blocks of bonds.
A cross-section of the market for
legal rails and those which carry a
high rating showed advances of Il to
a full point in such issues as New
York Central AIS. Pennsylvania 41l2s.
Union Pacific 412s, Mobile & Ohio 4I2s
and Great Northern 51as. Atchison
general As, Northern Pacific as, Union
Pacific As all moved up into new high
ground. Lehigh Valley 5s rose e u.
Baltimore 4 Ohio refunding 5s touch
ed 105 and the new Rock Island 412s
sold at a premium of Il.
Some New Highs.
Closely following this line in point
of strength and activity were the
Frisco prior lien As and 515s, Erie Re-
funding SIS, Chesapeake Corporation
bs. Texar kama 512s. Kansas City
Southern 5s and Western Maryland
5hs. In each instance today's price
was the highest of the year, or ap-
proXimately so. There was heavy
tone to the Florida East SIS on the
poor earnings of the road. Erie con-
fertlble 4s at one time advanced 2
points. with only two more days in
which to make conversion, and Della
ware q Hudson 5S were off a point
Ihere are still about $3,000,000 of
these bonds to be turned in before
the conversion privilege expires.
In the industrial and public utility
list the interest was in convertible
and junior issues. International Tele.
phone AVS exceeded their previous
high price. Hudson Coal 5s were
stronger. There was a recovery of
Pig points in Fonda, Johnstown and
Gloversville AIS, following the decline
OF about IA points from the high of
the year.
Foreign Bonds Hesitant.
Considerable liquidation has taken
place recently in the Anglo-Chilean
nitrate rs. which reflect unsa atisfactory
conditions in the nitrate industry. In
ternational Paper convertible bonds
were active. There were again mum.
Der of weak situations in small indus
trial issues.
Owing to the controversy over the
PruSSian 6 per cent loan there was
some hesitancy in the foreign govern
ment market. If there is to be a re.
Btriction of new loans the technical
market position of old loans should
logically improve. It was reported to-
day that the State Department favors
the Polish loan as being devoted to
productive purposes. Several Of the
South American issues advanced, as
did Polish 6s, Tyrol Is and japanese
Issues. The market for Mexican is
sues has shrunk to its former small
proportions.

'W|CK'S' ACTION IN
 FILING SUIT MAKES
 AWFUL MESS JUNEAU
HALTED ALL WORK OF cOMPLET- ING RECORDS OF 1927 LEGIs-
 LATURE
(Juneau Empire)

CT Judge James Wickersham in the U. s. District court Judge T. M. Reed issued a temporary order restraining Walstein G. Smith, Territorial Treas urer, from paying out any money from appropriations made by the Legisla- ture for the office of Gov. George A. Parks and maintenance and repair of the Executive Mansion. Secretary Theil's office and for all special legis- lative expenses.
 The total sum involved is s42,69O. Judge Reed set D. m. May II, as the time for the Treasurer to appear and show cause why the order should not be made permanent The suit to stop payment was filed by Mir Wickersham flor himself and all other taxpayers similarly situated
 The first direct result of the suit was to shut of post-session work in the offices of secretary of the Senate and clerk of the House. The special legislative funds tied up by the order were appropriated to cover extra work necessary for preparing the journals of the two houses for publication and other necessary clerical work that always follows the actual session and for overtime actually put in by mem bers of the clerical staffs.
 While the regular salaries paid the stenographers and typists will not be affected by the action, twill not be possible for them to be paid for any of the hours of overtime work done during the regular session. This amounts to several hundred dollars in each branch
 President Howard of the Senate and 1 Speaker Smith of the House, when informed by the Treasurer that the suit had been brought, at once notified their office forces they would not be responsible for any salary earned fol post-session work. Preparations were being made today to suspend work and box up all records and sup plies pending definite settlement ot the action
 It was regarded as unlikely that the journals would be completed for pub lication. The Federal funds fol printing these volumes are not in volved in the suit, but money to pay for their preparation is tied up and-can not legally be used until the action has been decided.
 'Frogged Out of Turn"
 Judge Wickersham has frogged out of turn" was the comment o1
 some members of the Legislature to day. Therewas a good deal of feeling
 expressed that the suit should have in
 cluded funds to pay off the clerica workers for duty actually performed during the session, in the performance of which they put in many hours o overtime.
 "As it affects myself as presiden of the Senate. the Governors and Sec retary's offices, have no feeling at al in the matter. But I do feel yer. strongly about the loss which will b. inflicted upon the women who hay worked so efficiently and so hard dul ing the session, putting in many nigh hours in order that we could hav our journals out properly and our re Gavnn1
