BOND TRADE: QUIET
DURING THE WEEK
LARGE Volume of New Offer
ings Cuts Interest in
General List.
BY GEORGE L. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch u The Star.
NEW YORK, November 26-ThS
has been an interesting week in the
investment market, Notwithstanding
the comparatively quiet tone in bonds.
The average has not varied I'M
portantly from Il week ago for
domestic issues. and while foreign
obligations are a shade lower. the
change is too small to be Significant.
The lower scale of activity in
seasoned issues has been due to the
large volume of new offerings. The
total for the week was nearly
1896, 100000 which was the largest
since the week ending October 21.
and compares with $4,000. 900 a week
ago, and about $4,000. 900 in the cor
responding week of 1926.
The surprising thing is not that
the advance in the older bonds was
checked. but that the effect was as
small as it was. The new financing
was well absorbed also, regardless of
the low yield on some of the larger
issues.
Youngstown Issue Biggest.
The most important new bond issue
as well as the largest industrial offer
ing of 1927, was the $4,000, 900

Side-lieht on these refunding opera
tionS now so common. this company
will save $3,150,000 a year in interest
charges by the substitution of the
new bonds for the old. The Youngs-
town Offering is also noteworthy for
the fact that it was priced at a
premium. There are many COM
parable bonds with per cent.
coupons selling at premiums, but
very few have been brought out
recently at prices above par.
This year, by the way, is going to
break all records for amount of bond
redemptionS. 1t now is estimated
that over $500, 900 ,000 will have been
retired by the end of 1927. Some of
these, Of course, have been paid off
without new financing. some have
been paid off in part and others have
been refunding at lower rates. In
any case it has been all TO the ad.
vantage of the debtor, but it has been
hard on the creditor. who has been
forced to find new employment for
his money at time when security
prices were steadily rising and yields
correspondingly declining. The only
solution was either to accept a lower
return or to sacrifice quality.

CITY zOti11aG LAWS
UPHELD BY COURT
Supreme Tribunal Defends
Right to Regulate
al Buildings.

The right of municipality to enact
zoning regulations for the construction
spf buildings has been upheld by the
Supreme Court of the United States
in a decision handed down May 16 in
the case Of Hector NJ. Zahn and A. w.
Ross vs. the Board of Public Works
of the City of Los Angeles.
d The decision is pointed out by the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards as supplementing the recent
decision of the Supreme Court in the
famous case of Euclid VS.. Amber Co.
I272 u. S., S65I, which has assured
permanent foundation for the work
which is being done by American
cities through coming ordinances to
conserve use conditions both as to
home sections and business or indus
trial sections and so immensely to con.
serve real estate values.
The Los Angeles case was one In
which the city had refused the plain
'tiffs permission to erect business build
ings on property which had been zoned
as residential. Suit was brought on
the ground that the prohibition alb
rogated property rights secured under
the fourteenth amendement.
In handing down its decision, the
court cited it's previous ruling in the
case of Euclid VS.. Amber Co. 1t
held that the issue involved in the Los
Angeles case left it impossible for the
court to say that the conclusions
reached by the Los Angeles officials
"were clearly arbitrary and unreason-
able"

Architect Says Future Structures

Gloomy Days.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, n. Y, May 2S.-Color
will surely be used for exterior deco
ration of the building of the future,
it is predicted by Joseph Urban, who,
with Benjamin Wistar Morris, re-
Gently was named architect for the
new Metropolitan Opera House.
The structures will have charm on
gloomy days, as we'll as when the
sunlight tints them. All degrees of
lights, shadow and night illumination
will have their part In modifying and
enhancing the color effects, Mr.. Urban
believes.
''The demand for maximum light"
he says, 'has created a new prob
lem in exterior decorations. The
great area demanded for windows is
reducing the available wall space
which can be employed in the
decorative plan. 1t is necessary
therefore, to get the maximum effect
with the little strips which are left
between windows.
zone treatment, of course, is to
have the entire building dark, so
that the windows are not noticeable
as distinct features, but are merely
a part of the mass. This dark mass
is then given the necessary tighten
ing details.
Naturally, all of the buildings in
a city cannot be black. Other colors
will be employed. The windows will
be made an asset to appearance, in
stead Of a liability. as they are in
many Of the present structures"

A gratifying improvement is re-

Of this seasonal dullness Is undoubt-

Statistics of the paint and varnish
industry show that the painting of
houses Is now less seasonal than it
was few years ago, but that it is
still sufficiently restricted to certain
periods to cause unemployment and

OTTAWA, Can, June 6.-The dia-

Canada is to be appropriately cele-
brated throughout the Dominion
from July l to this year. 1t is
sixty years since Canada became a
united self-governing country. Prior
to July 1, 1857, Canada was num-

Now the Dominion from sea to

Diamond jubilee celebrations will
be held in every city. town hamlet

Sixty years ago the foreign trade
of Canada was less than $120,000,-
900. For the fiscal year ended March
81, 1927, it was $2,298, 100000, an in
