H|GH-GRADE BONDS
IN UPWARD TREND
Junior Rails ACtive-PresSed
Steel Car Convertible 5S
Show Early Drop.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 1l.-There were
several weak spots in today's bond
market as the readjustment of prices
to stocks took effect and as the un-
favorable conditions in the sugar trade
were expressed through steady liquida-
ton in Cuban Sugar bonds.
Pressed Steel Car convertible SIS had
a heavy decline this morning of 2t2
points, bringing them down nearly 20
points from the high of Monday. Andes
Copper rs lost a point, but regained
it and then fell back again. Dodge IS
sold at l06 early in the session. Sub
sequently they were slightly under yes
terday's closing. and points below the
high of the week Brooklyn Union
Gas 5l2S advanced 4 points.
BarnsdaII Issues.
During the active speculation in
BarnSdall convertible 6S the bonds
without warrants stood still, but today
the .unconvertible bonds were active and
point higher, while the other issue
was down point, reversal of interest
from the speculative to the investment
issue.
some of them fractionally higher. There
is a trifle more evidence in trading cir
cles that bonds are being considered at
tractive enough to accumulate on a
moderate scale. One of the largest trad
ing firms, that has been out of the
market for some months, has been pick
ing up bonds the last few days, espe-
cially the newer public utilities.
A number of the junior rails and
those of semi-Speculative character,
reflected more cheerful feeling. Den
yer 5s were quite active above 90.
Chicago & Eastern Illinois SIS ad-
vanced "a, Erie refunding SIS went above
95, while Seaboard Florida IS gained
2 points and were points above their
recent low.
Foreign List.
Activity in Peruvian bonds fore
shadowed the issue that has been await
ed for some weeks. Chilean bonds were
heavy. There was not much of account
in the rest of the foreign list. The
advice that one of the German cities
is to issue an 8 per cent internal loan
at 9315 called attention to the wide
spread difference between prices quoted
for German bonds in dollars and mark
bonds. In some cases this is as much
as 10 points. 1t. is even greater in
mortgage bank issues, which nearly ap-
proximate in yield the current high
rate for money in Germany In other
words, if an investor is willing to be
paid in marks instead of in dollars he
can obtain yield on good German
securities nearly as great as that on
dollar issues when the American market
was at its lowest four or five years
ago.

With hopes of insuring Repub
lican victory in the Empire State
by one tremendous political effort
Herbert Hoover today approved
tentative plans for Republican
rally in New York city on Octo
Der %
Charles Evans Hughes, standard
bearer of 1916. will share the spot
light with Hoover at the latter
personal invitation. Both Hoover
and Hughes will address the gather
ing in Madison Square Garden ana
a national hoolxup of broadcastlns
stations will carry their speeches TO
every corner of the country.

nee for governor, and former AM

Hoover and Hughes, under present
plans.
Elihu Root, the grand old man
of the Republican party, to preside
or AT least participate. Fl. Edmund
Machold, State chairman, probably
will introduce Hoover.
The Republican nominee will re-
main in New York city overnight
to confe~ with. State and county
leaders the next forenoon. He will
return to Washington after these
conferences. So much importanc is
attachd to this rally by the Hoover
strategists that the national radio
hookup will be employed for two
hours during the evening, making
it the greatest use of the radio by
the RepubIi. ans since Hoover's &C.
ceptance speech was broadcast.
Hoover meanwhile studied plans
for his invasion of New England
to speak liz Boston, October IS.
The nominee probably will leave
here late the Sunday night pre-.
ceding, going direct to Boston.
Following his appearance in Boston,
he probably will return to Wash.
ington by way of Springfield, Mass,
and Hartford, Conn.,, with stops in
both cities.
Hoover has decided to confer with
Connecticut leaders on this trip to
New England. He probably will
meet many of the Rhode Island
leaders at the same time. At least,
dozens of the Republican chieftains
from both States win be invited
aboard his train as he makes the
return trip.
The nominee was pleased today
with two reports. First, he was
told by Senator David A. Reed Of

The weather continued balmy. My

that we began to eat there altogether.
We signed checks, so the price was
not noticeable at first. 1t became ex-
tremely noticeable at the end of the
first month when the bill came up
stairs. If its weight had been as its
size, the porter would have had to
bring it up on the freight elevator.
But we continued to cat downstairs
just the same. We had begun to get
hardened to city prices.
Our first great trouble was about

We knew we couldn't afford to
spend the winter in town. But then
we couldn't afford an automobile, or
n vacuum cleaner, or an electric
washing machine, and we had all of
them. After all it's the things you
can't afford that you get the most
fun out Of. You feef sort of careless
and devilish, like truant school boy
when YOU cast caution to the winds,
along with your hard-earned savings.
Still. when we found what a three
room apartment in hotel, with two
baths and running ice water would
cost. we were troubled. For a day
or two we were almost persuaded to
remain in the country. And then it
got cold, and the furnace refused to
function as it did 25 years ago when
it was new and full Of steam. We
began to figure up what coal cost a
ton. and how many colds we had had
last winter, and what the Italian
charged to shovel the snow off the
walks, and the upkeep of the car, and
the wages of the cook. When we had
them all added up we subtracted the
sum from what the hotel bill would
be, and gained fresh courage.
AS we were gaining this fresh cour-
age a big snowstorm came along and
we gained more and fresher courage.
I went in and paid a months rent on
the hotel apartment. The die was
cast. The next three days we spent
telling each other how much time I
would save by not travelling to and
from every day, how much cheaper it
would be to go to the theatre now
and then without having to go into
town by train, and how wonderful it
would be to spend at least one winter
in a warm place, and keep from hav-
