BONDS ARE STRONG
IN RISING MARKET
Hoover Victory and Decline
in Call Money Increase
Trading.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
ecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November THE COM
bined effect of the Republican victory
and a decline in call money rates to
per cent was to produce a strong
market today for considerable group
of speculative bonds and to bring about
firmness in numerous high grade
foreign and domestic issues.
The convertibles we're all influenced
by the buoyancy of the stock market.
This was reflected in rise of over
at about 161; of pa points in Barndall
IS, 312 points in Public Service of New
Jersey Alps, a rise of 2 points in Ten
neSsee Copper 6s and of over a point
in Anaconda Copper rs. The inactive
oil convertibles joined. this group,
among them California Petroleum SIPS
and Pan-American Petroleum IS.
There were a number of other in
dustrials that exhibited strength. such
as American Cyanamid IS, Internal
tional Cement IS, Cuba Cane Sugar IS
and U. S. Rubber SIS.
The rail group was not affected so
much to stocks as by money conditions.
These made an impression on most of
the better grade and Az per cent is
sues, with long list of fractional gains
in the latter. The public utilities show
ed the same trend and as group were
in favor because of the friendly atti-
tude which the Republican candidate
is believed to hold toward the public
utility industry.
United States Government issues were
quiet but steady. Interest was centered
in French bonds owing to the political
crisis in France. This, however, did not
provoke any selling in either the Gov
eminent, municipal or railroad issues,
which was an evidence of their strong
market position, inasmuch as French
international government bonds had a
bad break on the resignation of the
Poincare ministry.
Italian convertibles were mostly
higher. Japanese descriptions were in
clined to sag. Germans were Steadier.
It is expected that with the election
over there will very quickly be i'm
portant developments not only in the
matter of negotiating new foreign loans
but in determining the American atti-
tude toward the reparations question.

ATLANTIC SHIPPING
L|NE.F|GHT LOOMS
U. s., England, Germany
Italy and France involved
in Trade War.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November IAN Atlantic
Ocean passenger steamship line war
looms between the United States, Eng
land, Germany, Italy and France as
result of big shipping mergers, unless
the companies can get together" IN
the belief of British financial experts.
Developments leading toward the
greatest consolidation of world shipping
now are proceeding rapidly. Merger
of the big North German Lloyd, whose
two new luxury liners, Bremen and
Europa, are to compete for the Atlantic
speed ribbon, and its equally powerful
rival, Hamburg american, is considered
virtually certain in well informed snip
ping circles.
Merger Believed Likely.
Negotiations long have been under
way, with frequent Interruptions and
disagreements, but it is believed both
now are anxious for a merger, especially
since both expect to receive SubStan-
tial compensation from the United
States Government for German ships
seuuestrated during the war.
Use of such funds for competitive
purposes, it is pointed out, would make
both suffer heavily, while joint addi-
ton to their combined resources would
enable them to become formidable rivals
of the big British companies.
First steps in the formation OF a
huge italian shipping trust recent
ly have been taken through discussion
of working agreement between the
Cosulich group, Lloyd Sabaudo group
and the NavigaZione Generate Italiana
Tentative plans provide for co-opera-
ton and pooling of earnings, which
would be apportioned among the three
lines. In effect, they would operate
as one combine in the North Atlantic
trade, where the most spectacular fight
between shipping companies likely Will
take place, and later would seek closer
merging of their interests.
Watching Developments.
British. French and American steam
ship companies are watching such de-
velopments closely, apparently believ-
ing they presage further serious COM
petition, with lower passenger rates
and increasingly low attractive schemes
to augment the volume of tourist trade
a practical certainty. 1t has been sug-
gested, however, that the Atlantic pas
Senger trade already is growing so
RAPIDLY, owing to favorable holiday rates
offered by the various companies, that
1t is entirely possible it may be more
than sufficient for all countries.

HARDWARE TRADE GAINS.
Volume Slightly Exceeds That &C
Same Period Last Year.

NEW YORK, November (Spc-
ciaD An improvement that is moi
entirely attributable to holiday demand
is noted in the general hardware situa-
ton this week, Hardware Age will say
tomorrow in its general market sum-
mary. While dealers are buying in
preparation for the Christmas rush.
staples are also in good demand by the
consumer, and in most market centers
the volume is at present running
slightly ahead of this period last year.
Seasonable merchandise has been
stimulated by the Snappier tempera-
lures of the advancing season.
The outlook for Christmas trade this
year is most encouraging, and it is
noted that there are many more hard
ware stores giving attention to toys
and other gift merchandise this year
than in the past. Good crops in the
farming sections and generally salts
factory conditions elsewhere point to a
profitable holiday business for the
hardware trade.
Prices show very few important
changes and prices are steady.
Collections are somewhat backward
in most instances, but improvement is
looked for with the pickup in sales.
