CURB ISSUES HOLD
TO UPWARD TREND
Specially Favorites in Sharp
Advance-CoIumbia Graph
ophone Is Feature.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 6.-Sharp up
ward movements in speciality favorites
were again recorded at the close Of the
week on the Curb Exchange. Trading
continued at an active pace, with no
apparent weakness in any quarter.
One of the outstanding features was
Columbia Graphophone, which opened
on a block of 1900 shares at 1047s, a
new high record, and subsequently
crossed l0S, as compared with the pre-
vious final OF 10ll y. The strength was
based on merger rumorS and the pros
pect Of early listing on the Stock Elk
change.
Balaban g. Katz, which already fig
ures prominently in the theatrical mer-
ger talk, went to new high above 10l.
Others that reached their best included
A. G. Spalding, up 7 points to 260,
Schultz Real Estate, up a point to 46,
on reports of greatly increased earnings;
Consolidated Automatic Merchandising
following announcement of the placing
of the cumulative convertible on per-
manent per cent dividend basis. and
Campbell, Wyant & Canon up points
to 10.
Basis for the recent strength Of
GrigSby- Grunow was found in the an
nouncement today that special meet
ing of stockholders has been called to
authorize an increase in the stock from
100000 to 100000 shares Of no par. Di-
rectors of Safeway Stores, Inc, also
called special meeting of the stock
holders for the purposes Of increasing
the authorized common to 1900 900
shares from the present 10000 shares.

COTTON CLOSES STEADY.
Market Drops 4 to 12 Points on
Selling Movement.

NEW YORK, october (P).-The cot
ton market opened steady at an adj
vance of l point to decline of 2
points and eased off a few points dur
ing the early trading under Southern
selling and liquidation which may have
been influenced by relatively easy Liver
pool cables and reports of fairly good
weather in the South. There was
further covering and trade buying at
the decline, which extended to 1875 for
December and 1856 for March, or about
to points net lower. but the mar
ket later was quiet within point or two
of the lowest.
Private cables said there had been
hedge selling and liquidation in Liver
pool with offerings there absorbed by
trade calling on the decline. The
amount of cotton on shipboard await
ing clearance at the end of the week
was estimated at $4,000 bales, against
$4,000 last year

SPECULATIVE BOND

Andes Copper, Pressed Steel

Early Leaders.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. October 6.-At no time
this year has there been a demonstra-
ton in speculative bonds equal to that
today. This burst forth In several Sec
tions, surrounding the convertibleS with
as much excitement as that recently
witnessed IN popular stocks
On large blocks, Andes Copper rs,
opened Sl2 higher and went to a total
net gain for the day of 5l2 points be-
fore they reacted. This market has
been anticipating the issuance of new
Andes stock next week
Even more remarkable was the rise
IN Pressed Steel Car convertible S.
They started 6 points hi0h r in SYM
pathy with the opening gain in stock
and later increased this advantage to
13 points. There was some profit-taking
ut the high level
Barnsdall convertible IS were up a
point. Dodge IS were fractionally
lower. The foreign convertible issues
took a modest part in the general
demonstration, with the Fiat Is rising
over points.
The Seaboard Air Line issues held
most of the previous days gain. St.
Paul adjustments were fractionally
better. There was an irregular trend
to United States Government bonds.
It is expected that the terms of the
new Treasury financing will be an
nounced over the week end.

CORN PRICES SOAR.
Market Rea 4hes Record High
Mark-Wheat Also Gains.

4A1 al w ACAS 1A49O
CHICAGO, October 6 (P).-Much of
today's buying of wheat here was on
the part of traders who have been con-
spicuous of late on the selling side of
the market. Aside from assertions
widely circulated that on the basis Of
growers costs, domestic wheat, South
west and Northwest, is netting below
1893 values, friends of higher prices
were urging today that threshing re-
turns in Montana and North Dakota
have been less than was estimated, and
that Winnipeg, plus the carrying charge
to December, is higher than wheat in
the United States. March and May
corn today reached new high record
prices for the season, but the corn
market, as a whole, showed at times a
tendency to subSide. In some quarters
it was contended that buying had been
overdone, and that recent sharp gains
in price had discounted many bullish
features. In this connection 1t was
pointed out that five States east of
Chicago have nearly 85000,000 bushels

Why do so many, many babies Of to-
day escape all the little fretful spells
and infantile ailments that used to
worry mothers through the day, and
keep them up half the night?
If you don't know the answer, you
haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas-
toria. 1t is sweet to the taste, and
sweet in the little stomach. And its
gentle influence seems felt all through
the tiny system. Not even a distaste-
full dose Of castor oil does so much
good.
Fletcher's Castoria is purely vege-
table, so you may give it freely, at
first sign of collie; or constipation; or
dlarrhea. Or those many times when
you just don't know what is the mat
ter. For real sickness, call the doc
tor, always. At other times, a few
drops of Fletcher's Castoria.
The doctor often tells you to do just
that; and always says Fletcher's.
Other preparations may be just as
pure. just as free from dangerous
drugs, but why experiment? Besides,
the book on care and feeding of babies
that comes with Fletcher's Castorla is
worth its weight in gold!

VERMONT RENOMINATES
 GOVERNOR

MONTPELIER, Vt, Sept. 12. traditions were shat tered in Vermont yesterday when Gov. John E. Weeks won the Re- publican primary renomination for Governor. He is the first Governor of the State to be nom- mated for a second term since the State adopted the biennial election law. He also broke the unwritten law that ordains that the Governor should alternately be selected from the east and west sides of the State.
 With 12 small towns missing out of PAS cities and towns in the State the vote was, Weeks 4,171, Mayor Edward Deavitt of Montpelier 17,993. There was no other contest in either party. The Democratic nominee for Gov ernor is Harry Shurtfeff. Sena- tor Frank l.. Greene was renom- mated by the Republicans and his Demoratic opponent will be Fred Martin.
