Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March Dictatorship
in the Curb Market today was assumed
by shares of utility companies. The
procedure in the past has been to bring
these shares into lime when operations
for the rise in other industrials after
prolonged advance, shows signs OF
abatement.
Blackstone Valley Gas and Electric,
offering favorable prospects to share
owners because of pending affiliations
with other prominent utility properties,
was carried forward some points to
its previous high for the year. Com
monwealth Edison was another favOrite
although the improvement here was not
as pronounced. Electric investors and
United Light and Power class "A" were
in demand among loWer-priced issues.
Middlewest Utilities Up.
The upturn in Middlewest Utilities
was part of the general rally but 1t
also reflected publication Of the North
west Utilities Co.'S favorable earnings
statement for 1927. The former COM
panv is owner of all the common stock
Of the latter.
The record breaking turnover last
week in Marconi Co. of Canada,
amounting to more than l,750,000
shares. was followed by continued ac-
tivity in the issue today. Realizing
made itself felt at the close last week
and the tendency was to take down
further profits today. The price
opened at Ga on a block of 10000
shares and subsequently receded further.
but the manner in which offerings were
absorbed was noteworthy.
Favorites Under Pressure.
The unusual speculation in this issue
has been coincident with like develop
ments in related issues on the London
Exchange and has caused considerable
comment both here and abroad. A
fusion Of radio and cable interests. plac-
ing companies involved in dominating
strategical position in this field, has
been the prime reason for the activity.
High-priced favorites Of last week
were under more or less pressure at
intervals. but these offerings repre-
sented the taking down Of profits fol-
lowing an extensive rise. This was true
OF such issues as TubiZe Artificial silk,
Melville Shoe, Bancitaly Corporation

Woodward had purchased few
satiny old blackwood pieces, carved
with the five.clawed dragon OF roy

we wondered where our host had

and the haronessa were talking be-

, The hour was growing late, even
for Picking dinner. The Chinese
No. 1 boy appeared at the dining room
portal. On his face had crystallized
that look of cold disapproval which
we Pekingites have grown to know
so well, an expression which said &c
! plainly:
"Goodee Lord, Missile. fish catchee

Mrs. Woodward ignored him. but he
remained obdurately i'm full view.

At the table Mrs. Woodward had
placed Laurent at her right and the

across and down the table from them.
My dinner partner was the elder
Telfair girl. who talked in a steady
stream. yet who Obligingly asked no
questions, thus permitting my atten.

Mrs. Woodward made an honest
effort to divide her favor between
Laurent and the partner on her left.
Laurent seconded no such an attempt:
