PUBLIC UTILITY.

To care for its growing population,
Genoa, Italy, is to add another funicular
railway. 1t will be nearly miles
long and operated by electricity. part of
the equipment being from America. Be-
cause of its location among high hills,
which reach down to the sea, Genoa now
has three funicular railways and five
groups of elevators. The new railway
will supply transportation to suburban
districts which are expected to be fully
developed within six years.

CONVERTIBLE BOND
LIST is IRREGULAR
Remainder of Issues in Down.
ward Trend, Despite
Drop in Money.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March lit was hard
" to be expected that progress could
be made in the bond market today, even
though the renewal rate for money was
per cent, compared with 10 per cent on
Friday. AS prices decline from week to
week, holders of bonds naturally become
more anxious and potential buyers are
less inclined to make commitments.
One unfortunate phase of the situa-
ton is the necessity of underselling old
issues in order to place new ones. This
was illustrated today in the decline of a
point in the Republic of Chile IS when a
fresh offering at the same coupon rate
was brought out half point below that
at which the outstanding bonds were
quoted. The same thing happened last
week in the Bell Telephone of Canada
5S and in the Texas &, Pacific SIS. 1t is
the opposite of the situation year ago,
when new issues we're offered above old
ones-rather too much so for the per-
manent good Of the market.
New low prices were reached today
in several of the United States Govern
ment obligations, as we'll as in a num-
Der of high-grade legal rails and public
utilities. The Treasury 3sss of 1947
went below 90. Both these and the As
and 4l4s were quoted slightly under last
weeks lowest. Liberty First 4l4s broke
through SO. Baltimore g. Ohio First
Is, Duquesne 4ias, Canadian Pacific de-
benture IS, Columbia Gas debenture SIS,
Atchison 4s and United States Steel SIS
were among the high-grade bonds to
react. In the second-grade rails Wa
bash 4las lost nearly point, and were
10 points under the price at which they
came on the board last year. Frisco
4las were selling within a fraction of
the prior lien As.
Convertible bonds were quiet and
irregular. Anaconda rs had an early
rise Of points, which was reduced to a
point later, with subsequent rally.
Public Service of New Jersey AIS were
Slightly better after last weeks decline
Of IL points. International Telephone
AIS were lower than they have been in
two weeks. One of the special move
ments was in Hudson Coal SIS, which
advanced az points to 80, after showing
Is per cent depreciation at their low
price of week ago.
There were lis new 1929 low prices
last week among foreign-listed bonds
and IS that made new lows for the year
in the outside market. This gave OPP
portunity for some rally today, espe-
cially in the Japanese, italian, French
and German issues, against which the
pressure had been strongest.

"You know" said he. "This New

were never any Romans at Black

How did the stuff get there? Had
Pell anything to do with it?"
Mr.. Fotherbury made the discovery"
I replied.
"Tell you what, we'll 20 to Newplace

He seemed amused by my amaze

These were ruins. Hardly vestige
of the big church remained except
| three of the external walls, pierced at
short intervals by pointed windows. We
entered the bay so formed. and here
Laxton took the lead, Sinking by the
wall that abutted the excavations.
Laxton fiercely grabbed my arm and
pointed through a window. A tiny
quantity of light was reflected from
one spot in the disordered ground OF
the excavation
Suddenly the light went out. We
heard a metallic sound repeated three
or four times. Then the light reap
peared. Somebody was digging. there
on his own account--a few strokes and
then an inspection with the aid OF the
light.
Our observation of the uncanny sight
was abruptly terminated. The sound
of movement close at hand reached
us out Of the darkness kind OF
sliding footStep. It was unmistakably
coming toward us.
Half a dozen footsteps and pause.
More steps. another pause. The author
of those steps, too. was watching the
digger outside He was creeping from
window to window. In feW SECONDS
he would reach ours.
MY nerves gave an involuntary jump
as the swish Of a skirt struck me on
| the knee as 1t passed. We heard
rapid padding Of feet that indicated
running.
His voice had simply splintered the
silence. The light outside was mme-
diately doused. We heard tool drop

I'll go round to the right. Laxton
whispered. "You take the other end

at about 20 feet and I followed across

In silence we searched up and DOWN
the driveway, over the lawns, and all

ed away. We stood hesitating for
moment, afraid to make sound:
This time I gripped his arm, l was
looking up the drive when saw the
Shadow pass on to it from the turf.
The shadow came swiftly toward us,
went beyond us and silently entered
house.
Ten minutes after Laxton and were
outside the walls of Newplace.
What house was that?" Laxton
asked.
Markings" I replied.
"It's puzzling. Who was the woman
I wonder?" -,
"Marling was the woman" said I.
"Marling always wears cassocK.
You'd easily mistake him for woman
In this pitchy darkness!"
