BONDS FLUCTUATE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 18. - Pres

Central American group of bonds today
on hopes that the dispute between Bo-
livia and Paraguay may be settled
without further hostilities.
The Bolivian issues heSitated at the
start and later improved moderately.
Holders of other dollar bonds of Latin
American countries showed nervousness,
which was reflected in irregular prices
as liquidation and short covering oper-
ated to balance each other. There was
a heavy tone in the Italian govern
ment and municipal group, with City OF
Milan 6l2s off point.
The improved market for industrial
stocks helped number of the con-
vertibles. Andes Copper Is, which will

rs were ia points lower at the OPEN
ing, but later showed a net gain of
several points The oil convertibleS
were steady. For the present Specula-
tion appears to have gone out of them.
The better South American situation
was helpful to the International Tele-
phone y per cent convertibleS, which
about duplicated their previous high.
Local fractions were conspicuouSly
strong for no other reason than that
more determined fight will be made TO
obtain higher fares. The strongest
members of this group were Inter
borough IS and Third Avenue adjust
ment SIS.
Dodge IS, Container SIS, j. Kayser SIS
and International Cement 5s were
slightly higher, while Lorillard 512s
dropped back below 90 again, and there
was heavineSs in the sugar and soft
coal company bonds.
The high-grade list was not mate

money for the year. These rates were
reflected in lower prices.

two years after it's first release, so that
producers seldom know where they
stand on each picture, and one big hit
means such large profits that it can
upset all earning estimates.
At the present time Warner Bros.
and Fox have the initial advantage
from production standpoint Warner
Bros. has recently taken over a chain
of theaters and has negotiated with
Shubert for the use of parts of its
chain. Fox owns large chain of thea
ters. Paramount is the biggest producer
and exhibitor in the field, but has been
somewhat slow to get into the talking
pictures. Loew's has a large outlet
for it's pictures and good production
facilities, while Pathe depends upon the
ability of its new management to pro-
duce hits" In addition, both Pathe
and Fox have the advantage IN the

RALLY IMPRESSIVE
ON CURB EXCHANGE
Electric Bond and Shares
Recovery Noteworthy.
Warner Bros Strong.
BY WILLIAM r. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 20.--Called upon
to face the most severe test so far in
fiicted upon the speculative element, to-
days proceedings on the Curb Exchange
were not unsatisfactory from a bull
standpoint There was the raising OF
the Federal Reserve re-discount rates at
Boston and Chicago which many took
to foreShadow an eventual uniform rate
of 4ie per cent. Coupled with this was
the publication of the latest brokers'
loans statement. which disclosed an in
crease OF over $l34 600 600, bringing the
total to new record.
The Curb Market opened lower all
around under a rush Of selling orders.
Opening losses extended from l to more
than points in highly speculative in
dustrialS and in the case of Tubize
Artificial Silk the decline amounted to
Z points.
But what was of more significance
was the manner in which prices rallied
after the early outburst of selling had
been completed. The Curb Market
stocks were not so much affected by the
huge increase in brokers loans. mas
much as 1t represented for the most
part stock exchange collateral. How
ever 1t indicated distribution on large
scale and the TACT That speculative ac-
counts might have become impaired.
One of the most noteworthy recoveries
occurred in Electric Bond g. Shares Sc
curities. After opening only fractionally
lower. the price ran up across III for
gain of more than points. OF course,
the valuable rights to be given to stock
holders coincident with the new stock
offering was the incentive for the buy
ing. Puget Sound Power & Light COM
mon was well bought. coincident with
the calling for redemption of the pre-
ferred at $ll0 and accrued dividends.
American Gas e. Electric broke sharply,
but recovered part Of the loss.
The urgent demand for bonds and
Junior stock OF Warner Bros. Pictures
was direct response to the optimistic
statement of the vice president concern
ing 1928 earnings. Rubberoid gained al
most 4 points at one time, while Hap
pineSs Candy, Neisner Bros. and Brock
way Motors reached new highs.
