BONDS IRREGULAR
DUE TO NEW ISSUES
Prices Show No Marked Re-
cessions-Treasury Securi-
ties Are Neglected.
by the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 15.-The ap-
pearance this week of about &220 ,00o.-
600 i'm new issues. most Of which
arrived in the past two days. created
some further irregularity in today's
bond market. Investors gained conf
dence, however, from the promptness
with which the new offerings were
absorbed and prices showed no
marked recession from the high level
established In several recent sessions.
The payment today of some 100000.
900 In dividends and interest also con.
tributed to the firm foundation under
lying bond prices.
Sagging prices were more evident in

a march to new high ground on the
announcement that the new Polish

also lost ground, but some Of the

Trading in domestic railroad liens
was rather desultory.- Slight advances

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 15.-There
was nothing particularly impressive
about the upward movement at the
close of the week on the Curb Ex-
change. TIE majority of price
changes were toward higher levels
but 1t was only special issues that
lid anything noteworthy. The mar
ket as whole appeared to reflect
the growing recognition that outside
business conditions were not such as
to warrant a general renewal of the
advance in stock prices, and it was
only issues where special develop
ments were pending that attracted
attention.
Midland Steel Products, continuing
its rise of more than points yester-
day, sold into high ground in sympa-
thy with pronounced strength in the
preferred stock on the big board. Be-
cause OF the participating privilege by
which the common stock shares in ad.
di'tonal earnings with the preferred
stock, 1t was expected that share own
ers were in line for larger distribu.
tions as result of increased earnings.
United Light & Power "A" was
dealt in in enormous volume, block
OF 5,00e shares changing hands at the
opening at 1512. after which the price
went forward to a new high record.
Paying almost so cents q share an
nually, there was a prospect that ex-
panding operations might put the "a"
stock in a position to be entitled to
increased dividend payments. Uni
versal Leaf Tobacco continued its up
ward movement and sold at a new top
coincident with reports that other
prominent tobacco interests were in
the market for the stock.
General Baking "A' sold within a
fraction of its previous high for the
year, while Borden common advanced
sharply to it's highest. Rumors were
current Of a special stock dividend in
Borden, but the main incentive for
the buying appeared to be the merger
prospects with the Reid Ice Cream Co.
Shares of the latter company were
moving forward sympathetically on
the Stock Exchange.
The new Investment Co. of Amer
lea S per cent series "A" offered for
public subscription Friday, was in ac-
tive demand. The issue was offered
at 81 and sold at a premium Of more
than 21a points today.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
SuspiciousIy High Yields.
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.

In appraising the value of a bond
that seems to be selling out of line
one point OF vital Importance is the
nature or the lien the bond carries. 1t
Is true that earning power and not
property worth is the first considera-
ton, but if earning power In sufficient
the bond will never sell at a price to
bring it within the high yielding clas-
silica tion.
1t is only when earning power falls
of and there is doubt about interest
charges being paid that buyers begin
r to look to the security back of the
bond. If then the bond is what is
known as debenture. that Is direct
obligation, but not secured by mort
gage ii does not look to be a bargain.
Such bonds are in effect simply notes
and their value rises or falls with the
financial position of the debtor cor
poration. Even when the bond is
mortgage secured it does not follow
that the security could be realized
upon.
The plant of an industrial corpora
ton is valuable as a going concern.
If 1t has to be sold at auction under
foreclosure it may not realize enough
ta meet the claims of the bondholder
On the other md, if there is real
estate which can be turned to new
uses the outlook is more favora BILE.
(. In this same connection a study
should be made of the prior liens, if
any. This is of especial importance
in the case of railroad bonds. A
railroad may go in the hands of a
receiver and still pay interest on its
first mortgage bonds. defaulting only
on the Junior issues. There are many
cases of that kind in railroad history,
In fact, it is very rare for a large
railroad not to continue payments on
it's first mortgage bonds though in
receivership. Such bonds. however.
seldom decline enough in market
price to make them attractive.
