ADVANCE IN CURB

Utility and Aviation Stocks
! Lead in Big Buying
Movement. D
BY HARRY II. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 3.-Advances pre-
dominated in todays trading on the
Curb Exchange for the same reasons
that brought about the rise on the big
board. The immediate call money stu
alton was overlooked because of gratifi-
cation over the relatively small increase
in brokers' loans and because of favor
able trade developments affecting vari-
GUS stocks.
Opening transactions were in large
blocks, with many substantial gains.
Later on profit-taking Cancelled a part
OF the rise, but, generally speaking, 1t
was well absorbed
The leaders were the utility and
aviation stocks, particularly the former.
United Corporation made new high
right at the start, when $4,000 shares
sold fractionally under SO. Before noon
the gain had been increased. There
was a sensational opening in Electric
Investors at an advance OF almost 9
points. In this case realizing made
some impression in the later trading
Allied Power & Light, comparatively
newcomer, had 5-point jump on the
first sale to a new high. The low
priced Arkansas Natural Gas likewise
made a new peak price on a $4,000
share initial sale.
The aviation favoriteS included Avia-
ton Corporation, Fokker Aircraft,
Douglas Aircraft and National Aviation.
Fokker and Douglas made new highs.
Western Air Express advanced a point
on the announcement that shareholders
of record May 20 are to be offered rights
to additional stock at IS in the ratio of
one share for every four now held.
High-priced issues received attention.
Aluminium Corporation of America was
up almost 10 points on top of 17-point
gain Thursday. Today'S price was a
new high. Proctor & Gamble went up
over 10 points and j. G. Penny points
The rise in Auburn Automobile to
1876, a gain of 10 points, and a new
peak, was in response to record-break-
ing shipments and the gratifying earn
ings outlook.
other strong stocks at one time or
another included U. S. Gypsum, Ma

Buying of the last was stimulated by
the latest earnings statements.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
DECLARED BRIGHT
Spring Borrowing Practically Com
pleted-Expansion Program
Under Way. 81 :.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch 70 Inc star.
NEW YORK, May 3.-The farmers
and most of the industrial concerns
have about completed their Spring Dor
rowing. There has not been a notice
able shortage of credit, but some con-
Germs have paid higher rates than they
counted on for their accommodations.
However, the general outlook is SO
bright that the possible returns from
the programs of expansion, to which
most of the borrowed funds will be
devoted, promise far to outweigh the
burden of the interest rates.
While this is true to a large extent
of the industrialistS and farmers, the
public utility concerns still have pro-
grams in view which will require large
sums. They are, however, in better
nosition to raise these sums now than
they have been for years. The volume
of money available for all purposes
promises to be large, for, while Euro
pean nations have raised their discount
rates to keep gold at home, the attrac-
ton of the New York call money mar
ket is likely to draw at least 5000, 000,-
600 in foreign gold to these shores.
The fact that borrowings have passed
their peak does not mean that indus
trial concerns are slacken1ng their ex-
pansion and improvement programs
They are putting in new and improved
machinery daily and cutting costs
thereby and will continue to do this
so long as the volume Of demand re-
mains anywhere near its present levels
The reports from the steel industry
show that this demand still is extraor-
dinarily high in that key industry
Steel plants are turning out more goods
than their rated capacity in most in
stances and still are reporting opera
lions between 80 and 95 per cent. The
better situated companies have pro-
duced SO per cent more so far this
year than in the splendid season OF
1928. The automobile industry is doing
the largest business done in any pre-
vious Spring. May Is likely to witness
another record breaking motor car out
put, but this demand which inspires
the volume of production Is far from
evenly distributed. Some concerns are
not feeling the effects Of the apparent
" large prosperity. The same is true
of the airplane manufacturers, although
this is a business which promises tc
grow faster even than radio.
Conditions in the rubber and tire
industry are very satisfactory. Agricul-
tural implement sales so far this year
are IL to IS per cent heavier than evel
before in similar period. Industrial
chemicals are in greater demand than
for years. What cotton textiles will dc
in the next few months depends largely
on the raw cotton crop situation. Many

GAIN IN CIGARETTE
SMOKING is SHOWN
U. s. Tax Figures Reveal Increase
in Number of Tobacco
Users.
Cigarette smoking is growing by leaps

Cigarette smoking is growing by leaps
and bounds in the United States, ac-
cording to Treasury tax figures.
While the staid Government statistics
of the Bureau Of Internal Revenue do
not give any reason for the increase, 1t
is admitted by representatives Of tobac-
co firms that not only are man smokers
on the increase, but women, who are
being appealed to in national advertising,
have added hugely to business OF the
cigarette makers.
The Governments figures show that
during the nine-month period ending
March 81, cigarettes were taxed STAT, =
100, $50, an increase over the same period
of the previous year of $23, 632 ,6S2.
On the contrary, use of all other forms
of tobacco decreased during the same
period, according to the Federal tax
returns.
All tobacco taxes totaled $315, 1886, 361,
an increase of $21, 202, 102 over the same
period of the previous year. Stamp
taxes aggregated $46,049, 1888, an increase
Of $12, 109,115. =.
OF the stamp taxes more than half
stock sales and transfers. Treasury Of
f1cials attributed this to the great
amount of speculation in the stock
market during the nine months.
North Carolina, which led the States
in paying taxes on Tobacco products, re-
turned 1852, Gal 1903 on cigarettes, an in
crease of approximately $18,500,000; and
$685. 04 on manufactured tobacco
and snuff, a decrease of approximately
$250,00
The North Carolina cigar tax de-
creased approximately $4,000, to $47,-
479. Virginia paid $711,868 in tax on
cigars, a decrease approximately of
SIS, 500, while its cigarette tax totaled
$44 ,543, 1921, an increase Of $1,288, 900
over the same period Of the previous
year. Virginia'S tax on manufactured
tobacco and snuff also increased 1884,
900 to $2,412,128.

PRAISES MEDICINE
FOR RELIEF IT
GAVE HUSBAND
SAYS HE SUFFERED FOR
YEARS BEFORE HE LEARNED
OF THE HERB EXTRACT

Thanks to three bottles Of Miller's
Herb Extract, my husband Is now IN
better health than he has been Tor
years and am always glad to speak
a good word for such q grand med1-
cine. The above is taken from q
statement received q few days ago
from MRS. CHAS. e. BIRD, 619
GRESHAM PLACE NV. Mrs. Bird
has been O resident Of Washington
for the past % years and Is well
known to hundreds in the city. Con-
tinuing, she said: "Yes, before my
husband used this medicine he was
in bad shape and for weeks at time
he was unable to work, complained
all the time Of burning pain in his
stomach, was continually belching up
sour bile, had pains in his side, also
back, headaches, and for years he
had suffered from chronic constipa-
ton. He said he always felt tired
and worn out and could see that he
was losing in weight. He used q
number Of tonics. also all kinds Of
laxatives, but they failed to give the
desired results. We saw so much In
the papers about this medicine that
he made up his mind to try it. The
first bottle showed good results so
we bought more, and now after using
three bottles he is simply like a new
man. He looks like different man
and says he feels better than in years,
no longer complains of his stomach,
pains in side and back are gone, he
works every day and am thankful
indeed that we were fortunate enough
to learn Of Miller's Herb Extract. 1t
is one medicine that has proven to
be Just as advertised and do not
hesitate to recommend it to all my
friends" You don't need any pills
with this medicine, it Is a real med1-
cine within itself and guaranteed to
give results. A medicine you can take
three or four bottles without seeing
any results is not much medicine.
