are all OF a minor nature.
One of them provides that police
men detailed to the Woman's Bu-

BOND PRICES RISE
! WITH SPECULATION
italian Fiat Is Register Gain,
Public Service of New Jer-
sey Up.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 25.-Due tc
the speculation in both domestic ano
foreign bonds with convertible or stock
warrant features. the market today was
of greater size than for some time and
showed several unusual advances.
Interest has been confined to the
bonds of domestic corporations, out
TODAY the greatest gain was In the Z
per cent issue of the Italian Fiat Co.
Is which rose u points, making an ex-
treme gain for the week of nearly
IS points, The rs without warrants
gained 3i2 points. Montecatini rs
with warrants were up points. There
were more moderate movements in a
number of the German convertible cor
poration issues.
The broadest markets in the Ameri-
can group were those in Public Service
of New Jersey 4 l2s and Anaconda Cop
per convertible rs. The former rose
about points and the latter 2le points.
Andes Copper rs were at one time a
point higher. Barnsdall 6s the same,
while Liquid Carbonic IS were up
points and j. Kayser 5l2s over points.
It will be seen from this list that
trading ran mainly to bond issues that
had kick" in them.
In spite of the 7l2s per cent rate
for time money there was surprising
strength in number of low-yield
bonds, including Governments. The
latter rallied from Mondays dec ne.
with substantial gains in the long
term Treasury issues. There were also
some small advances in a number of
the better grade rails and public util-
tiles of the legal type.
