NEW YORK. May 1B.-Convertibles

through most of the list were negli-

ency to firmness.
In the stock privilege group American
Telephone AIS were noticeably easier.
These bonds, which have sold as high
as l42 on a when-issued basis, were
off nearly 2 points to 1855 at the close
for a net loss of 17s on the day. The
turnover was heavy for the short seS-
sion Missouri Pacific SIPS, popular
in this weeks trading made new
top at 1854, closing at that price on
fairly large demand.
American l. G. Chemical SIS and
International Telephone 4i2s lost small
fractions. These and the other con-
vertible issues traded on the bond divi-
sion of the Stock Exchange have ac-
counted for about Is per cent of the
volume of business in the last fort
night.
First grade rails were generally firm
while the secondaries and public uti-
tiles inclined to strength. Industrials
were in small demand. However, in
terest in all groups was so slight that
it was difficult to gauge price tend
encies definitely.
The foreign sugar bonds, which have
been selling at or near new lows, offered
some resistance. although one issue
Cuba Cane Sugar convertible rs. slid
to a minimum for the year at SO, of

IndustriaIs showed few changes, but
White Sewing Machine 6s sold into new
low ground at SO.
United States Government bonds
moved irregularly higher on very light
demand. The foreign list tended to
work slightly lower, with German Re-

MIR. MONTE CRISTO

THE LODGE sprawled like g huge brown barnacle, summing itself along the mountainside.
 aiIts rough logs, weather -blacken- ed shingles, and rustic porches merged into the brown green of en- cifeling rock and shrub and fir tree. A sketchy uneven road ended abruptly at the front steps
 sbTen days before it had stood, desolate in it's abandonment. Then it had been metamorphosed and revitalized by a magic wand, waved by Leon Morse. Its exterior was still in perfect harmony with it's wild and rugged surroundings, but it's interior was stamped with the mark of luxury.
 siIn the great living room, Jarvis unwrapped countless packages that had been rought from town by blackboard. Books, magazines, doz- Chs of them, chocolates. French bon bons and photograph records. Arm fuls of hot house flowers were spread before the butler
 s24Ie pressed an electric button and a pretty French maid responded. The bundles of flowers he placed

mot. Shall inquire now, sir?'
 Do so," he commanded.
 "A party by the name of Monte Cristo." Morse smiled. That was his own idea exactly. only he had mt given it the literary flavor.
 There were two things Leon Morse wanted now as he had never wanted anything in his life. The first was Anne Wilmot. The sec ond was line of track between Kansas City and the great north west which would shorten the pres ent schedule by 12 hours. The for mer was to be had, doubtless, but not yet on his own terms.
 The latter had presented unfor- seen difficulties-an upstart irriga- ton company with a title to the iright-of-way which was the key to his projected line of track-a pig headed young engineer in charge who refused to be tricked, bulldozed or intimidated.
 ! Well, there were several cards he had yet to play before he would | take the irrigation company seri- cusly-Douglas for one. Douglas was his attorney and confidential aid whom he had sent to Sacramento to obtain an understanding with an underpaid legislature.
 Douglas should be here now, he thought as he casually picked up the pile of letters on the reading table. He smiled as he noticed the letters to Mrs. Emily Wilmot from New Yorks most famous and ex- pensive dressmakers. milliners, ca terers, florists and jewellers. Anne would come high but he was rich.
 He pushed away the letters and stood drumming his closed knuckles against the table His long, lean, perfectly groomed body bent slight ly above it. His hair was prema- turely gray.
 Overwork and dissipation had sapped the first vigor of youth but there was a certain toughness Of fibre about him, a dynamic energy and power which balanced in con- siderable measure, the lightnesS of build. It was in the set of his

SYNOPSIS: Beautiful Anne Wilmct believes her armor is love proof until she goes to the Sierras as the guest of Leon Morse, whose wealth makes him attractive in the eyes of her ambitious aunt. Beside 8 moun tain spring she meets a tall. bronzed westorner who speaks glibly of the Rue de Ia Paix and in whose eyes there turks amusemcnt instead of admira- ton. Her interest is piqued. She satisfies her hunger from his knapsack but her gratitude turns to anger when he calls her Miss Eve" and kisses her hand in departing. She is fur ther incensed when Sheb, an eccentric prcspector and the younger mans pal, warns her to "leave i'm be-"

shoulders, the line of his long clean cut head, in his every move ment, as if his muscles operated or steel springs.
 "Well?" he queried as Jarvis re- appeared.
 Miss WiImot went out early this
 morning, sir-alone She has moi yet returned"
 Early this mornings alone?" he repeated, reflectively.
 | AS he spoke Mrs. Wilmot canc downstairs with her usual aristo- cratic leisureliness. She was the picture of a plump, while-haired grandmotherly old patricion. Her soft and rather full mouth hardened as she took in the significance of Morse's phrase. You say Anne has gone out-alone-after you expressly asked her not to?"
 Morse nodded. At a slight sign of dismissal, Jarvis vanished. Morse drew up a chair for Mrs. Wilmot and after an exchange of pleasan- tries, sat down near her. T want to speak very seriously with you," he began. T want you to try to impress upon your niece that it is dangerous for her to go to the mountains alone. The coun- try is overrun with the irrigation company's workmen and our own a lot of low class trash" He broke off abruptly as the door opened and Douglas entered The two men faced each other for moment in silence, then Morse made slight inquiring movement The attorney, stocky shrewd-eyed man of considerably less than his employers height, shook his head The other frowned and signed to
 his study at the end of the room. Then Morse excused himself and
 moment later, the door of the study
 closed upon them.

 You mean hot house, no doubt,' Jarvis corrected.

 MT. Douglas hasn't come back yet?" he asked as he glanced down the road through the chintz cur tained window.
 No, sir" Jarvis replied.
 Morse drummed lean, nervous fin- gers impatiently against the win dow pane It irked him to wait. He took out his watch. It was 12 O'Clock
 as"Has Mrs. Wilmot come down yet? he inquired.
 sNo, sir"
 .sAnd Miss Wilmot?" he appended casually

break in security prices. The an- nouncement of several electrifica- tion projects by the Pennsylvania, Lackawanna and other railroads was made during the year.
 Mail order firms embarked on a huge program of expansion into the chain store field Huge com pines also were effected in the food, steel, copper, oil and most of the other leading industries.
 Railroad Unification
 Little progress was made toward the unification of the railroads, pending publication of a revised consolidation plan of the Inter state Commerce Commission. The Commission received several peti- tions for the approval of mergers, particularly in the Eastern terri tory.
 The break in security prices also caused the abandonment or tenn porary postponement of many fi- nancial plans, including the mer- ger of the National City Bank and the Corn Exchange Bank Trust Company into what would have been the largest bank in the world.
 Quoted values on the New York Stock Exchange alone dropped more than $15,000O00,000 in Octo- Der and probably as much more in the first half of November, al- though some recovery took place in the closing weeks of the year.
 Decline Reasons
 Apart from the obvious fact that speculation in securities had been carried to excess, all sorts of req cons were advanced for the decline. One major factor was the huge volume of undistributed securities, particularly of investment trusts, that had overhung the market and had been financed, to large ex- tent, through brokers loans.
 Uncertainty over the proposed new tariff, which failed of passage in the special session, was advanced as another reason by some bank CTS, although this was vigorously disputed by some Senators.
 Ohe of the immediate effects of the decline was to bring about a general relaxation of money rates. Call loans dropped to the lowest levels since early 1928, with cor responding reductions in time mon- ey and bankers acceptances. The volume of Federal Reserve brok- CTS loans was almost cut in half in the six weeks ending the middle of october.
 Total sales on the New York Stock Exchange crossed the bil- lion mark for the first time in any one year during November.
 The violence of the break over whelmed the trading facilities of the leading exchanges of the coun- try, forcing the adoption of ab- breviated schedules until the ac- work had been cleaned up.
