INVESTMENT TRUST
FINANCING RESU MED
Market for Such Issues Has Now
Been Placed on Sounder
Basis.
snecial pisnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 26.-One of
the significant trends in recent financ-
ing has been the resumption of offerings
of investment trust securities. In nearly
all cases these represent the common
or preferred shares of trusts newly or
ganized and making their first bid to
the American market for financial sup
port.
Just a year ago the popularity Of in
vestment trusts with the general public
was at its height. Because Of abuses
of public confidence in the management
of some of these trusts. since deceased,
supervision of their affairs was de-
manded by various State authorities.
The speculation in investment trust
shares was carried to an extreme during
the Winter and Spring along with the
boom that occurred in bank and in
surance company stocks. For the past
six months the investment trust move
ment and the market for investment
trust securities has become stabilized
and Is today on Sounder basis than
ever. Nearly all of the large trusts are
in very liquid position, having not
only converted a considerable portion
of their holdings of American stocks
into cash, but placed these, along with
new capital secured from bond and
stock sales, in the call money market
where they have had the advantage of
the high rates prevailing since July.
Profits in numerous instances have
been from one to three times greater
than income derived from interest and
dividends on investments held.
While many of the investment trusts
have been out of the American market
for some time they have been increas-
ing their holdings of foreign securities.
Markets abroad still offer attractive
bargains for those who know the real
worth of these securities. The return
on various German internal bonds, for
instance, has been much higher than on
similar dollar bonds. A case in point
was mentioned today by the president
of the investment trust whose company
recently bought on IL per cent basis
an underlying bond of company which
brought out Junior issue in New York
in dollars on z per cent basis
Other profitable markets have been
those of France. Great Britain, Italy,
Greece, Turkey and Japan.
1t is expected that for the time being
part of the funds now raised on new
investment trust shares will go into the
call money market, which offers a high
rate with no risk All of the investment
trusts are looking forward to the day
when they can get back into the Ameri-
can stock market at a reasonable level
and raise their proportion of American
stocks, now very low. to better bal
ance with the stocks of foreign corpo-
rations. The latest trust to make an
offering of shares expects to have a
portfolio in which the common stocks OF

STOCKS RECOVER
FROM BEAR ATTACK
General Motors, Radio and
Oil Stocks Figure in
Advances.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October 27.-Substantial
recovery was staged by the Stock Mar
ket today. Some of the gains were
quite large. especially in stocks which
had been under the severest pressure
in the sudden selling wave that de-
veloped half hour before the close
yesterday.
Not all the loss was regained and
some stocks failed to participate in the
improvement. There was also an un-
dercurrent of nervousness, with the
haunting suspicion that what had been
tried once in the way of bear raid
was pretty sure to be tried again, and
perhaps with equal, if not greater,
success.
Opening Prices Higher.
Opening prices were nearly all high

points in the preceding session. had re.
gained 3 of them when it sold at 2I9
ChrySler, which was one of the hardest
hit motors in the slump having gone
down more than 5 points, was up al
129. United Steel which was pressed
below 160, got back to 162 in the early
trading today.
More remarkable was the come back
in Radio. That stock had closed al
22512 yesterday. 1t opened today on 9
block of 300 shares at 230 and ran rap.

Buying was resumed in a few specia

IRELAND SEEING SIGNS
OF PROSPERITY AHEAD

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, October 27.-The Irish Free
State regards the decline in its adverse
balance of trade as sign of returning
prosperity.
A year or two ago the gap between
imports and exports was nearly $780,
100000. Now it is only $4,000. 900, with
exports rising and imports falling. The
change is ascribed largely to construc-
tive agricultural legislation and a de-
cided improvement in Irish marketing
methods.
For instance, Ireland has been inn
porting bacon. The country has a taste
for American bacon. so it has been
customary for the farmers to sell off
their own pigs and buy American ba-
con for the home table. But bacon i'm
ports now are being reduced, the decline
so tar reaching nearly 20 per cent.
With view to favoring home manu-
facture, the Free State put heavy i'm

larger needs for capital outlays. States,
however, are assuming larger portion
because Of increased State activities,
particularly in highway construction.
A chart prepared shows the share and
purpose of State and local debts. as
represented by bond issues from 1924 to
