Her brother Julian, the violinist, entered Erasmus high school when he was II and one half years old. He is now in his final year. Arthur Aaron, the 'cellist. has similar standing in the Monroe high school in the Bronx.
 The youngsters took their names from the fact that each member of the trio has won one or more medals for excellence in the playing of their various instruments. Recently they were received by President Hoover in the national capitol after playing for the two raido stations there.

NEW YORK, February 8.-Respond-
ing to the higher price level in stocks
during the first half of todays session
convertible bonds rallied moderately.
There was also a slightly better atti-
tude toward mortgage issues, whose de-
cline recently has produced an average
loss in the domestic bond list Of half a
point since the first Of the month, with
the average "a under the high Of Jan
uary.
The convertibles, however, lacked
snap. They advanced cautiously, and
like stocks, made a small recovery rel
alive to the decline that has occurred
in them the past week. International
Telephone 4l2s and American Interna-
tional Us were each up point. Ale
ghany Corporation IS rallied e. Ana
conda Copper rs were 8 points lower at
the opening, but later regained most OF
this loss. Fiat Is were down ga points
compared with q rise Of about points
in Pirelh Is.
There was moderate reaction IN
United States Government issues. The
Fourth 4AS lowered around par. It is
fortunate that there are no Immediate
involved Treasury operations to be car
ried through.
Developments in the mortgage rails
and industrials were uinmportant. On
the whole this group of bonds was
lower. The st. Paul gold IS touched a
new low and at today's price gave a d.
rect yield Of nearly 5l2 per cent, with
the present equity much greater than
when they sold last year close to a S
per cent basis. Frisco prior lien As. the

New Stock Placed on So Dividend
Basis-Profts Statement
Given.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 8.-New $40
par common stock of the General Mo-
tors Corporation, issued after the 2l2-
for-1 stock split-up last December, has
been placed on an annual dividend
basis of So through the declaration Of
an initial quarterly dividend Of rs cents.
The old stock paid S. annually, with
occasional extras.
Pierre S. du Points resignation as
chairman of the board of directors was
accepted, but he will continue as q
member Of the board and of the finance
committee. Lanmont du Point, preSi-
dent of the e. I. du Pont de Nemours
Co., which has a large stock interest in
General Motors, was elected chairman
Of the board.
No announcement was made as to
whether John j. Raskob, who resigned
as chairman of the finance committee
to accept the Craftsmanship of the DEM
ocratic national committee last Sum-
mer, would return to an active post in
the corporations affairs.
President Alfred p. Sloan, jr., an
nounced that General Motors Corpora
ton sales and earnings for 1928 estab-
liShed new records for the fourth con-
secutive year., The corporations sales
excluding all intercompany items, to.
tailed 81 ,459, 762, 906, an increase Of Ii
per cent above the previous year. Pre-
liminary figures indicate that net earn
ings, including equities in the undi-
vided profits of subsidiary corporations
not consolidated, were $276. 463, 108
which compares with $235,104,826 In
the, preceding year, o gain Of 17.6 per
cent.
This is equivalent, after the payment
of dividends on preferred and deben-
ture stock, to $15.S5 share on the
common stock outstanding on Deem
Der 81, 1923, Immediately prior to the
exchange of old SIS par stock for the
new $40 par, and compares with $12.99
per share on the common stock In 1927,
calculated on comparable basis. The
amount earned on the common stock In
1923 Is equivalent to $6.14 per share
on the new common stock Of $40 par
value, of which there are now 43, 500, 900
shares outstanding.
Mr.. Sloan stated that sales and earn
ings in the closing months of 1928 did
not fully reflect the demand for the
corporations products, because ship
ments of the new Chevrolet, Pontiac
and Olds models were limited by pro-
duction. The first quarter of 1929, he
explained, likewise will suffer from in
ability to fill accumulated orders.
The corporations cash position con-
tinues strong. current cash and Market

mately $176,000. 900, compared with

standing. Westinghouse held 27,760
shares of the common outstanding and
10000 of the preferred.
Col. Davis said he gave the figures
under protest, lest the conclusion OF
illegality in the ownership OF the stock
be drawn from silence" Emphasizing
that the statement from which he
quoted was made in August Of last
year, he declared, There is no prob
ability that any part OF 1t is correct
today"
Other Statements.
Other statements were that there
are $4,000 r. @. A. stockholders; that
last year the r. G. A. realized an OPP
Grating profit Of $4,000, 900; that 1t has
never paid dividend except for the
per cent en- its preferred stock, and
that the executives and directors OF
the r.. G. A. itself are small stock
holders.
Committee members were eager for
more information and Col. Davis pro-
ceeded, making clear that he was ex-
pressing personal opinions. Because OF
the many things peeping out Of the
radio laboratories and the constant sur
prises brought to the attention OF tne
public, he said, 1t Is very difficult To
demand. Other developments incident
to radio, like talking movies that large
ly came from the radio laboratory, com
bining talking machines with radio re.
ceivers, and television, which, he said
is still within the laboratory, but whicf
came out too soon, so that people ex'
pect too much, have quickened the
public's interest that Is being reflected
In the stock market. This develop
ment has been so fast and so spec
tacular that the public evidently sees q
possibility Of a repetition OF the Fore
experience, and other great funda'
mentals where people have made BIG
money, he said.
Col. Davis agreed with Senator Wat
SON of Indiana, that the price Of radio
stock is "a good bit psychological.
He concurred In Senator Watson's, OBJ

Who's who In the Radio Corporation
of America stock ownership and why
the r. G. A. stock has skyrocketed from
paltry 40 points to more than 400
since the Fail of 1927-questions that
long have intrigued the public--are an
swered to some extent by Col. Manton
Davis, vice president and general at
torney Of the r. G. A.
The imagination Of the public, height
ened by the spectacular and rapid de-
velopment of radio, Is responsible for
the extraordinary increase In price OF
practically every radio stock, Col. Davis
told q Senate committee. The rise In
r. C.. A. stock, he said, was as much OF
a surprise to those inside the corpora
ton as to those on the outside. To
have such high values placed on the
stock is embarrassing" to those who
noses to. the grindstone endeavoring to
make dividends for stockholders.
Gives Stockholders Names.
The names of several brokerage houses
of New York and their holdings Of r
G. A. stock as Of last August were
drawn from Col. Davis by members OF
the committee, but much against his
will. That the General Electric Co. and
westinghouse control the largest blocks
was known and Col. Davis willingly
gave to the committee his latest in.
formation as to their holdings. Pushed
by Senator Wheeler to name other large
stockholders, he did so reluctantly
These he cited as follows:
. Jules F. Bache & Co., 1878 shares
common, 625 shares preferred: Arthur
Braun and George G. Moore, New York
trustees under the will of T. H. Gibbon
1000 common and 1880 preferred; H

NEW YORK, February "a. rising
bond market, which was generally ex-
pected once the new year was well
started has not materialized. On the
contrary bond prices have continued to
fall, until at present they are close to
the low point reached last August. One
explanation is that the attention of the
investing public, even of those conserv-
largely in bonds, has been fixed upon
the stock market. Even institutional
bond buyers have preferred to avail
themselves Of. the higher return offered
in call loans rather than to purchase
long-term bonds. AS result the stock
market, with plenty of capital at its
disposal. has been rising, ignoring the
high prices 1t has had to pay for its
credit. The bond market has suffered
and all concerned are looking hopefully
for relief.
Bond Prices Decline.
It is now history that early last yeal
the Reserve banks, becoming alarmed al
the large sums of credit being used fol
stock market speculation, began tc
tighten credit conditions. They raised
rediScount' rates and threw $400 ,000, 00(
worth Of Government securities on the
market in order to make it more din.
cult for member banks to borrow.
Immediately the broad rise in bono
prices which had been going on with
only minor Interruptions since 1872:
came to halt and gradually the, trent
was reversed. The tighter credit con,
ditions and the dumping Of Governmep

Temporary Recovery.


Temporary Recovery.
Toward Midsummer the demand for
funds to finance Fall expansion of trade
made 1t necessary for the Reserve banks
to hold-up their selling of Government
securities and to take steps to meet the
legitimate Fall needs of trade, The Re-
serve banks even found 1t desirable to
purchase Government securities, all Of
which, combined with the fact that
much institutional buying Of bonds had
been held up about as long as practi-
cable led to q moderate recovery in
bond prices.
Beginning in late November and De-
cember, however, general credit condi-
tons began to tighten even further, and
bond prices again fell gradually. About
the middle Of January the Reserve
banks began once more to sell Govern
men securities, with the result that
bonds are now selling almost as low as
at any time, for the past two years.
Bonds and Money Rates.
The future trend of bond prices de-
ponds to q very great extent upon fu-
ture credit conditions. When money
rates fall, bond prices will rise, but If
money rates continue at their present
high lead, or work even higher, bond
prices cannot be expected to rise.
The relationship between time money
rates and bond prices Is shown ON the
chart. Time money, representing loans
for definite period against securities,
Is not so erratic as call money or, as
stable as commercial paper rates. Time
money rates have shown a consistent
tendency to move In the opposite direc-
ton from bond prices. s.,
AS might be expected, longtime trend
of bond prices Is determined by, the
growth In savings OF the people in re-
lation to the demand for these savings
by business for expansion. But short
term money rates have always had
temporary and at times quite serious
effects upon the trend of bond prices.
Last year bears witness to this fact.
~ Future Of Bond Prices.
AS far as the immediate future of
bond prices Is concerned, however, 1t
appears that as long as the Reserve
banks are struggling to curtail further
expansion Of brokers loans, and as long
as money rates remain high, bond prices
cannot rise far. But Is. soon as credit
conditions ease, either through stock
market liquidation, declining business
activity or the action Of the Reserve
banks. bond prices may again be ex-
pected tsrise. It is commonly believed
that many potential bond buyers have

had their funds tied up In the stock
market either in call loans or stocks
and that they will again turn to bonds
once stock market liquidation takes
place. At any rate, the relation between
time money rates and bond prices rel
mains. AS long as money remains firm
at 71a per cent. or higher, as 1t Is to-
day, bond prices will not rise. but as
soon as money rates begin to ease ris-
ing prices for bonds may be expected.
