BOOSTING AUSTRIA
Will Float $3O,OOO,O00 Bond Is.

Commerce and Industry.
Bv the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
| VIENNA. November 2S.-Commer-
cial and industrial Austria, at this par
| ticular moment, has good reason to
| feel grateful to American tinanciers.
who next week will float 10000, 900
bond issue for the City of Vienna.
which will enable the city fathers to
reduce many onerous taxes that have
, prevented manufacturers from eX-
| panding to the production basis en-
| ,yed before the war.
| The money to be derived from the
new bonds is to be used for improve
ment of municipal power houses, street
paving and lighting and to acquire a
| big fleet of city.owned omnibusSes.
This will leave the city revenue free
of this expense for the time being and
probably will allow consideration of
plans to pay off former bon. issues.
| In view of the fine financial showing
made by the city each year. Vienna
has been known to be good for any
| amount borrowed, and therefore nego-
tiations with the National City Co. of
New York proved brief when the city
government finally showed a willing
ness to fall in line with customs pre-
vailng in well ordered capitalist cities
and consent to recognize and take
care of previous borrowings.
The credit Of the federal govern
ment also has improved vastly since
the time DR.. Ignaz Seipel. the chan.
cclor. went to Geneva and literally
begged the foreign statesmen assem-
bled there TO assist them in reorsaniz.
ihg his country's financial affairs by
granting Il foreign loan.
! The $3.50, 100000 borrowed by the
federal government in l9.2 has been
! expended for electriiication OF railways
and extensive improvements TO aGri-
culture. The government has been
meeting the interest on this loan
promptly and also steadily calling 1t in
for redemption when the federal treas
ury permits.

NEW YORK. November oS.-There
was less change in bond prices today
than in any session of the past month
The market held around the level
where II closed on Saturday ard gave
no indication of a disposition to move
one way or the other.
For some time the high grade issues
have been stagnant. with very few
available to those who are compsIied
by law to buy this type OF investment.
The return on them is SO low that
they do not attract the ordinary in.
vestor. The second-grade rails and
public utilities also have moved UP
into ground that limits the return to
Az per cent or less. This has re
stricted the demand from institutions
that are not compelled to buy legal
bonds and arc not willing to invest
their money as low as Az per cent.
Latterly there has been more acttv.
fty in the high coupon bonds of the
/ industrial companies. Some OF these
arc convertible in character. and 9th
ers arc selling enough under their cal!
price to stabilize their price.
The days market produced few tea
turcs. United States Government

lower, advanced. lligh-crade rails
stood about where they were on sat.
urday Some of the junior rails were
4 fractionally lower, with less activity
! in them. The St. Paul issues. how
| ever, after q poor start. developed
strong tone and sold above previous
| levels.
In the industrial list the strength
of Mercantile Marine 6s, Anaconda as,
International Paper 6s and Continen-
tai Bag & Paper 6s were conspicuous.
Dodge 6s showed the effect of profit

Railway Bond Issue at High Mark
in Largest Turnover Recorded
in Several Months.

BALTIMORE. November IS tSpe-
ciaD-Washington, Baltimore An
napolis Electric Railroad per cent
bonds Saturday reached 927s on the
largest turnover recorded for several
months. This high is the top OF the
year thus far and 2S points up from
the low of January.
The financial district sees in the ac-
tive buying of the bonds a move to
retire them. preliminary to segre-
eating the power, and railway divi-
sions of the company. The power
division would be merged with the
Consolidated Gas. Electric Light d
Power Co of Baltimore and the rail-
way end probably sold to other in
terestS.
The next interest date is March /.
and one explanation of their activity
put forward in the financial district
was that the Consolidated Co. may
want to get the bond issue out of the
way In connection with plans to re-
vamp the capital structure of its new
subsidiary.
Separation of the power. and elec-
trio railway ends of the, business made
possible in that way. would pave the
way for sale of the latter division to
new interests.
These bonds have featured the ac.
tivity of the local market for week
or SO, rising gradually day by day.
