France Tries to Stem
 Decline of Silk Trade

ALES, France, Nov. 13.- French silk worms are making less and less of the thread that Lyon factories weave into cloth. The cocoon industry has been dying out for 70 years and much of the famous French silk now is made from Japanese thread.
 What the French call a "cry of alarm" is being raised in in dustrial circles to restore a lan- gushing trade. Back in 1853 Lyon silks were famed through out the world and the beautiful cloth was really a French pro duet. There were raised then 2S,000 tons of cocoons, and now the output has sunk to $500 tons a year, much less than the silk mills can use.

COTTON IS STEADY
IN EARLY DEALINGS
Market Registers Advance Of Five
Points to Decline
of One.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, November S.-The cot
ton market opened steady at an advance
of points to decline of point. There
was some buying on steady Liverpool
cables and reports of further rains In
the belt, but 1t was supplied by South
ern selling and liquidation. Trading
was fairly active preceding the Govern
ment report, with much of it attributed
to further evening-up of outstanding
accounts, and with orders well enough
divided to cause rather narrow and ir-
regular fluctuations. After selling off to
1880 December rallied to 1884, while
March worked up from 1870 to 1875,
but the Improvement was not fully
maintained and the market was within
point or two Of the lowest at the end
Of the first half hour.
The market was quite active toward
the middle of the morning, with prices
advancing on covering and trade buying
and with the active months showing net
gains Of about 18 to 20 points before
business was suspended to receive the
Government report. The latter, placing
the indicated yield at 14,133,0O0 bales
and the ginnings prior to November
at l0,160,997 bales, was not far out Of
line with expectations, but If anything
was shade lower than looked for, and
when business was resumed December
sold up to 1927 and May to 1892, or 25
to A points net higher. This advance
was checked by realizing, and the VOL
ume OF business tapered OF somewhat
with the market holding about steady
at reactions Of or 4 points from the
best around midday

Convertible BOND
TRADING IS ACTIVE
Andes Copper Is Registers
Gain-Anaconda Issue
Is Forced Down.
BY CHARLES G. SPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

0pSSAo& (aophtCH W Inc 0Lar.
NEW YORK, November 8.-The most
interesting incidents in today's bond
market were the further rise of points
In Andes Copper convertible rs and
the immediate sale and listing Of the
$50,000,00 issue of Pennsylvania Co.
4A per cent secured gold bonds.
The Andes convertibleS followed UP
yesterdays rise Of over 10 points with
an opening gain of points and a sub
sequent advance of IL points, which
carried them above ITO. The stock into
which they are convertible was an
active feature In the speculative market,
selling at the highest price since 1t was
offered last month. In contrast with
this movement was the decline of 31a
points in Anaconda Copper convertible
rs, which had risen yesterday from las
to 1853. This was due to profit-taking
in Anaconda stock, which automatically
affected the price of the bonds. g. =
There were two significant elements
in the Pennsylvania financing. One was
the size of the issue, which indicated
that bankers are no longer tirnid about
bringing out large blocks Of high-grade
securities, and the other the price Of 80,
at which the bonds were offered.
This was considered to be somewhat
under the market for bonds of this
character and rate. That this was the
Interpretation of the street was indi-
Gated in the avidity with which the
bonds were absorbed. They sold at a
small premium after being listed. They
had the effect of depressing quotations
of some of the 412 per cent issues that
have been selling in the neighborhood
of 80, notably Union Pacific las.
There was also evidence Of some switch
ing out of old bonds into the new
Pennsylvania Az S for the higher return
and for the anticipated appreciation.
Other issues advertised today brought
the total up to above $65,000, 900.
Again the oil group was strong. The
important members of 1t showing gains
of y to 214 points were Barnsdall 6s,
Simms 6s and White Eagle SIPS. In
ternational Paper 6s was heavy under
&c. There was fair sized turnover in
Dodge IS at 10312, raise of y in Hud-
son Coal SIS, point advance in Denver
SIS of 1855 and fractional gains in New
Haven, Frisco, Wabash and Rock Island
4hs. Foreign issues were quiet and
steady. In the afternoon the public
utilities became strong not only on the
exchange but In the unlisted market
with prices in number of instances
at the highest since last Spring.

WHEAT Is LOWER
ON INITIAL SALES
Chicago Market Reacts on Reports
of Drop in Liverpool
Prices.
BY the Associated Press.

by bkC Ao5UGlhtCn ELCS0.
CHICAGO, November 8.-Sympathiz-
ing with more of down turn In Liver
pool quotations than expected, wheat
averaged lower today during early deal
ings here. Declines were associated
with favorable crop prospects for new
Southern Hemisphere wheat and to con-
tinued large offerings of old crop wheat
from Argentina. Opening b to " OF,
Chicago wheat later held near to initial
figures. Corn and oats were relatively
firm, corn starting at 1s to 3s setback,
but afterward scoring gains.
Provisions inclined downward.
With Argentina reported today as Of
fering old wheat for November ship
ment at discount under the new crop,
indicating that old crop supplies In Ar
gentina are still abundant, wheat trad
ers here were also confronted today
with reports of auspicious weather for
the Argentine wheat harvest. Spread
ing operations here, in which wheat was
sold and corn bought, tended likewise
to depress wheat values.
Notable falling-off in the volume of
corn receipts helped at times today to
give firmness to the corn market. Ar
rivals of corn in Chicago today amount
ed to but 1874 cars, against 348 cars q
week ago. Kansas City, ST. Louis and
Omaha receipts were also meager.
Furthermore, advices were at hand that
United States corn Is underselling Ar
gentine corn in Europe by as much as
8 cents a bushel.

CURB SHARES GAIN
IN UPWARD SWING
Buying Market Continues.
Oils, Utilities and Motors
in Advance.

Special Dispatch TO The Scar;
NEW YORK, November 8.-Appar-
entity unlimited buying power. with
speculative enthusiasm keyed to high
pitch resulted in another session of
pronounced activity and strength on
the curb exchange today. Prices were
bid up sharply with an utter disregard
to yields and current dividend rates.
Many of the favorites went to their
highest prices on record with previous
buyers showing little or no disposition
to take down profits already accrued.
Oils, utilities, motors, mining issues
and host of speciality favorites shared
in the upturn. In the case of the first
named group the demand was influenced
by the steady change for the better in
the industry, prospects of favorable
dividend action by companies credited
with large cash surpluSeS and the out
look for increased earnings in the COM
ing months. Standard of Kentucky
Ohio and Vacuum went forward into
new high ground while Cities Service
common, Ryan Consolidated and Barns
dali warrants reached their best among
the Independents. Power companies and
shares of stocks representing holding
companies were favorites among the
utilities. Electrilcation programs of the
various railroads through which these
organizations stand to benefit materially
provided an incentive for operations for
the rise while at the same time MANY
were inclined to attribute their strength
to the political developments. American
Superpower issues responded to the
favorable dividend action taken by
directors, American Light g. Traction
moved upward several points. while
Northeastern Power at 43 reached new
high
Stutz Motor Henney Motor and Mar
mon came in for attention in their
group, with the first named two at
fresh highs for the year. Their strength
was part of the general upward move
nent in motor shares on the Stock Ex-
change
Attention was attracted to the mar
ket for both Anchor Cap and Anchor
Post Fence. The former went to a new
high for the year, while the latter was
in demand around 81. Although there
was apparently no connection between
the two stocks the latter was Influenced
by the rumorS that it was soon to go
on regular annual SO dividend basis
with the possibility of an extra being
declared in stock. Earnings for 1928
were estimated at the rate of $6
share
New high records we're too numerous
for explanation, but they included
rise of more than points in Neisner
Brothers, further upturn in Rainbow
Luminous, which has been among the
favorites recently, gain of points in
the new Safeway Stores, a several point
rise in the comparatively new Keystone
Aircraft and a like gain in Newmont
Mining.
