u. S. BONDS RALLY
IN QUIET MARKET
Demand Is SIackened by In
creased Charges for
Time Money.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 16.-Not much
impression was made on prices of high
grade bonds today by the further adj
vance in call rates and the unusual
charges demanded for long-term money.
The effect was more to deaden demand
than to reduce quotations. Some of the
Government issues rallied from yester-
days decline, especially the 33s per cent
Treasury issues, which on Tuesday sold
at the lowest since they were author
lied. The Treasury As, however, lost
ground and made new low for the
year, as did United States Liberty
fourth AIS.
The general average of both domestic
and foreign bonds has been slowly re-
acting, but it is still slightly above that
of the closing of 1928. In the case of
domestic bonds it is held up by the
strength in legal issues, for which there
is a larger demand than can be filled,
as few securities of this kind are being
created.
Convertibles were quieter and irreg-
ular. International Telephone 4l2s
rallied fractionally as did International
Cement SIS and Barnsdall IS. The last
named will be redeemed within a month
Anaconda Copper rs at one time were 4
points lower, but recovered. Chilean rs
were more active around &c. Public
Service of New Jersey 4las this after
noon gained about 7 points.
In the rails the features were a
further recovery in Seaboard Air Line
issues, an advance in the generally in
active Peoria and Eastern As of point,
fair amount of activity in st. Paul
adjustments and further accumulation
of the defaulted issues of the Mime
apolis and st. Louis system.
Several small issues of bonds were
offered today. In general new financing
is nominal in size. The largest units
of stock in prospect are those of in
vestment trusts.

Broker Admits Offer to Pur'

in Firm.

| Another attempt is being made by
out-of-town interests to gain control
of the Washington Gas Light Co.
through purchase of stock.
| It can also be stated that these in
| terests are not identified with those
connected with the stock-buying cam
paign launched here several months ago
aimed at securing management of the
company.
Reports in the financial district today
| indicated that G.. Bowie Chapman, res
ident partner of Hartman g. Co., is
representing officials of the company
seeking to gain control. In reply to a
question, Mr.. Chapman admitted that
he had submitted an offer to Ord Pres
ton, president of the gas company, al
though he withheld the name of the
public utility concern or out-of-toWn
financiers directly interested.
| Offer. Made to Corporation.
| "It Is true" said Mr.. Chapman, chat
an offer has been made on the part of
public utility corporation of very
considerable size looking toward pur-
chasing control of the Washington Gas
Light Co. Mr.. Preston has the offer
and there is law which prevents an
outside corporation from buying more
than 40 per cent of the Washington
Gas Light Co. or any other local utility
| company, and 1t is this technicality
which Is holding the matter up at this
| time.
MIR. Preston has been insistent that
| the offer should include all of the
stockholders of the Washington Gas
| Light Co. and not a majority of the
stock. With the franchises that the
company owns in Virginia and Mary
land. it Is more than probable that the
earnings can be increased to show twice
| the earnings the company Is now show
| ing.
while do not want to say what
| the price Is at this time, in view of
the fact, however. that private offers
have been made, so I understand, of
| $125 per share for lots of this stock
privately owned, this may give an idea
| of the price that the offer will carry"
officials Silent Regarding Offer.
| When President Preston of the gas
| company was seen at his Office this
| morning he said he could not deny
that an offer had been made for pur-
chase of controlling interest in the
stock. Further than that Mr.. Preston
| had no comment to make.
Local bankers said today that they
could see no likelihood of any change
| in control of the washington Gas Light
Co. in the near future. So many large
| blocks OF the stock are tied up in
| estates that the transfer Of stock con-
| troll would be q long process.
Several months ago .. A. Pearson,
| q New York financier, spent consid-
cradle time in Washington in an effort
| to purchase large blocks of stock. 1t
| was stated then some Middle Western
| utilities interests were after control of
the property. Mr.. Pearson, however,
| issued statement in which he said he
was working in the interest of private
| investors.
The stock sold at 1885, on the WASH
ington Stock Exchange yesterday, the
| highest price since it was issued.

GASOLINE PRICE WAR
IS BOON TO MOTORISTS

Special Dispatch to The star.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 16.-The
Pacific Coasts gasoline price war, at
least in so far as it affects the San
Francisco Bay district, is giving the
motorists a great deal of glee. 1t looks
as though the garage and filling station
boys are going to be in the trenches for
long time yet and motor fuel at from
Is to 18 cents gallon, including a
3-cent State tax, is like a be-
lated Christmas present to Mr.. Average
Motorist, with the income tax, the cold
weather inefficiency of his car and one
thing or another to plague him.
When the big oil companies fall out,
as they occasionally do. the automobile
owner knows it will be only a short
time until truce is declared and the
price of gas will be back up to its former
level-or perhaps higher. But the big
companies have during the last year
and a half been leasing their filling
stations to employees and it is the
hundreds of the little fellows who are
at present cutting the price until it
hurts.
