NEW YORK, August 17.-With less
activity, but with the same general trend
as recently, the bond marc~t finished
the week today with prices of converti-
bic issues showing substantial advances
along with another long list Of new lows
for the year in mortgages.
The convertibles strongest in today s
session were AtchiSon 412s. which ad-
sTanced liz points: American Telephone
6Ias, American International 51ss, AL
legheny Corporation IS and Remington
Rand 512s.

ondary method Of easing money market
and credit conditions. That Is by pur-
chase Of commercial bills In the open
market from the funds Of the regional
reserve banks. Between August . and
August IA the board purchased $50, 727,-
900 worth Of such instruments, to hold
until maturity or for resale, as the bank
arrangements may determine best.
It has been the unvarying custom OF
the reserve banks to begin such pur-
chases toward the Fall Of each year,
and records disclose that as much as
$3.50, 000, 900 Of bills have been taken out
Of the open market. Today the system
holds a total Of open-market bills OF
$1l7,SS5, 900, and at that has 81, 00o, 900
less so invested than 1t had on the same
date last year.
Credit effects Of such purchases are
far more extensive than their total ex-
presses. The board pays for its bills with
currency, which immediately gives rise
to q series Of new bank deposits. Econ
onists usually estimate that central
banks outright purchases Of bills have
the same effect as the addition OF o like
amount Of gold to the monetary stock
and that credit superimposed upon such
q base multiplies several times.

leader OF the public utilities. and on q

neavy volume selling above II for an
other peak price.
Consolidated Gas rights continued in

weeks. But we had, by adding small
quantities of materials to the milk,
postponed the production of anemia
from about eight weeks to eight months.

been shown to be anemic, which simply
confirmed our faith in the method OF

SCHMEL|NG UNDER
 FUGAzY CONTRACT
German Must Fulfill Terms or
 He Will Be Suspended

New York, July A tUP)-The New York state athletic commission has spiked another favorite yarn of sports writers.
 The commission has announced that Max schmeling is under con- tract to fight for Humbert J. Fugazy rather than under contract to fight against Phil Scott, British heavy weight.
 Here in New York there is chip per little fight manager known as James Tn Right" Johnston. The middle name was applied by sports writers who feel, that Jimaiy is the white haired boy of the boxing commission, from which he had only to ask and it would be given.
 Johnston and his brother, Charles. handle the affairs Of Phil Scott m this country. Hence, when the com- mission flatly refused to sanction any bout for schmelng until he ha1 met Scott the writers shouted Jimmy Johnston."
 It was openly charged that the commission had no interest in mak- ing Schmeling fulfill his contract with Fugazy, other than the fact that a fight with Scott would mean money in the jeans of In Right and his brother.
 The New York district of the box ing world became highly indignant over the affair and protested a com mission that would display favorit- ism.
 Yesterday the commission, reply ing to a statement issued from Mai- ison Square Garden last week, an- nounced that it had not retracted a step in its stand on the Schmeling case-that the German must fulfill his contract with ''ugazy or he would not be allowed to show his wares again within its jurisdiction.
 The commission also made it clear that Phil Scott was not necessarily the only opponent Fugazy might name. but that Schmeing must fight anybody Humbert J. decides 10 send against him.
 This let Johnston out Of the pie ture, probably to his great satisfac- ton and made clear what is consid- cred one of the most important stands the commission has yet taken.
 The commission also avoided what. to prove a ticklish situ- alton by terming the statement is- sued from the Garden last week 2 request rather than an ultima tum.'
 The Garden virtually announced it would match Schmeling and Jack Sharkey outside this state in Sep tember if the commission did not relent and allow the match to 20 on here as originally planned.
 It was feared that the commits sion might take more rigid stand in the matter and deliver, in return, an ''ultimatum' of it's own. By ac cepting the statement as request the Garden virtually returned the entire case to it's original status ani it is considered probable that the Garden will proceed with it's plans under another state charter. elimi- mating the possibility that it's license might be revoked as hinted by Chairman James Farley.
