M M ANY people realize the value Of courtesy
but not enough people practise it.
Avn When we are courteously received we
always appreciate it.
But we fail to realize what an asset to our
own personality and success courtesy is.
Yet courtesy is a habit of demeanor that Is
very easily acquired.
And when once ii becomes a part Of you.
YOU display II as If BY second nature.
Courtesy Is worth developing because it un-
failingly wins. -
But courtesy must not be forced.
When you deliberately try TO be courteous,
and only to suit the occasion, it becomes evident
that your charm % manner Il only makeshift,
spurious and trumped up.
That kind of counterfeit politeness deceives

CORN PRICES RISE
TO NEW HIGH MARK
Reduction of German Import Duty
Proves Bullish Market
Factor.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 21-Corn ad-
vanced today to above the highest price
level which March and May deliveries
had heretofore reached this season. Re-
duction of the German import duty on
corn counted as a decided bulliSh
factor. Opening at Z4c off to Hc up.
the corn market soon scored gains all
around. Wheat and oats were likewise
firmer. with wheat starting unchanged
to ssc up, and subsequently showing a
general advance. Provisions were ir-
regular.
According to trade authorities here,
the corn market situation, so far as
export trade is concerned. will get
material further strength from action
of the German government in cutting
down the German corn import duty
from 80 cents to IS cents bushel
This reduction, 1t was asserted here to-
day. will increase the industrial demand
from Germany, demand which for
the next six months will of necessity
call for American corn. Resulting price
advances today for corn in Chicago
were in the face of announcement that
nothing will be done about increasing
the United States corn tariff until Pres
ideut-elect Hoover returns.
Wheat values today derived consider
able f1rmneSS at times from upward
swings Of the corn market. In addition,
reports were at hand from Rosario,
Argentina, telling of heavy rains. The
wheat harvest is under way in territory
north of Rosario, and rain at this time
would be seriously unfavorable.

RAILWAY TRUNK LINE
PROPOSAL is INDORSED

BALTIMORE, November 81 (SpeciaD
With the way virtually cleared for
creation of third railway trunk line
between Baltimore and Chicago, busi-
ness men of Baltimore and towns along
the proposed route are massed solidly
behind the proposal with money and in
huence to make it a success.
The trunk line will consist of the
Western Maryland Railway at the east
ern end, the Pittsburgh and West Vir-
ginia in the West. and link between
both, now being built between Connells-
vile and Cochran's Mill, Pa.
The Taplin brothers of Cleveland will
proceed with construction of the small
link road, following the Interstate Com
merce Commissions refusal to block the
proposal.
When the Connellsville- -Cochrans Mill
link is completed, the Taplins will ask
the commission for authority to create
the East's fifth big trunk line from the
Western Maryland, Pittsburgh and West
Virginia, which they practically own;
the Wheeling and Lake Erie and the

CONVERTIBLE BOND
ISSUES SHOW LOSS
Market Less Active Than

NEW YORK, November 2l.--Con-
vertible bond issues made a poorer
showing today in following the reac-
tionary trend in stocks, which in the
first half of the session caused declines
of from ] to 4 points in this group.
They we're not so active as they have
been. Andes Copper rs declined 2 points
and Anaconda Is lost 3 points. The
oil convertibleS we're l to points lower

advanced 212 points, dupIlcatlng t1eil

as j. Kayser 512s, LoeWs 6s ana PAINE
Is were steady on moderate tranSac-
tionS. Public Service OF New Jersey 472S'
declined 21a points.
The sustained high rate Tor call
money. which has been renewing at 612
per cent for the greater part OF the
week. is reflected in somewhat easier
urices for low coupon bonds whose price
range is slightly lower. Against thls'
however. is the evident interest in high
grade securities illustrated by the un-
usual demand late yesterday and again
today for the New York City new 4A
per cent bonds. Half of the issue OF
SIS 900 900 had been sold before buSl-
ness opened this morning and through
out the day the twoScore or more par
ticipating houses had steady flow OF
orders for them from all parts OF the
country. There was also good de-
mand for the Detroit city loans. With
these two issues the days total of new
offerings amounted to over $4,000, GOO.
The Bulgarian loan was test of the
market for the obligation of one of the
Eastern European countries sanctioned
by the League of Nations. The old rs
declined "a in an adjustment to the
price of the new bonds.
Foreign convertibles made better
showing than the domestic list. The
Fiat rs with warrants were up 312
points, the Monticantini rs 21a and the
PirelU bonds point. South and Cen
tral American Mortgage bond issues
were in good demand, with some evi-
dence that the visit of Mr.. Hoover to
South America has brought investors
to a better liking for the securities of
the South American republics. In spite
of the talk about efforts to improve the
status of the holders of Russian bonds,
prices of the active certificates of de-
poSit give no evidence that concrete
gains will be made in this direction.

Anchor Post Fence Is Fea'

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 21.-Under
another enormous volume of trading,
new high records were marked up on
the Curb Exchange today, but the
movement of prices was highly irreg-
ular. 1t was only the speciality favor
ties that were outstandingly strong.
Elsewhere good deal of realizing was
in evidence, but in no instance did
stocks suffer materially as result of
this profit taking.
The outstanding feature in the me-
dium-priced favorites was Anchor Post
Fence. After opening at a new high
of Al, gain of half point, the price
went forward on the tape to 46, but
was actually selling on the floor at 81
because of the lateness of the ticker,
which at times dropped half hour
behind transactions.
Deere common maintained its place
of prominence in the high priced is
sues. Following the 40-point advance
Tuesday, it was carried almost 10 points
higher and there was little stock for
sale on the way up. In instances such
as these their technical market posi-
ton was all that could be assigned
as the basis for the sharp movements.
In the first two hours the volume
of business totaled 1880 shares.
new record for all time for a similar
period.
Prairie Oil 81 Gas jumped to the
front as the leader of the oil group,
making a new high record above so,
a gain of more than points. In
asmuch as it is the largest of the mid
Continent units, assumption of lead
ership was a logical move in view of
the favor with wich the oils are now
looked upon. Standard of Indiana was
in urgent demand at advancing prices
In the motor group it was again Mar
mon that led the way, making a new
top above 70. Stutz followed closely,
gaining over points. Elsewhere gains
of fractions to more than points were
common. Included among those to go
to new high records were Dominion
Stores, up 8 points to 1856; Bullard Ma
chine, points higher at 100; Nehi, up
over points, close to 80; Stroock, more
than points higher, crossing so;
Blumenthal, up almost 10 points, and
host of others.

COTTON IS STEADY

Market Influenced by Southern

mains Firm.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 21.-The
cotton market opened barely steady
at an advance of points to a decline
OF S points. Near months were higher
on covering by December shorts, but
there was local and Southern selling
in the later deliveries, which became
more active right after the opening
and sent prices about Is points to 10
points net lower, with January selling
off to 1882 and May to 1948.
The report of the Census Bureau
showing 1890, ,302 bales ginned up to
November ID was quite closely in line
with expectations, but its failure to
Stimulate demand was evidently a dis
appointment to recent buyers. This is
supposed to account for some OF the
early selling. There was continued
demand from the trade and commission
house sources which absorbed the Offer
tngS, however. andsgave the market q
steady undertone during the first half
hour.
