NEW YORK, February 1.--Due to
the activity in convertibles, the volume
of trading in the bond market expand
ed somewhat today. There was some
what better tone to high grade issues
as a reflection of the first decline In
time money that has taken place in
over month.
Another convertible issue that prom
ises to be active was introduced to the
market today. when the American In
ternational SIPS were brought over from
the curb, where they have been popular
since they were listed there two weeks
ago. Originally sold at los, they adj
vanced on the day of issue to ia and
then dropped back to 109. The initial
transactions today were around Ill.
The new Allegheny Corporation SIS,
which sold at l0-point premium early
yesterday and later reacted points,
were up point today.
International Telephone 4las went
above their previous high record in
spite of some disposition to take profits
of between 10 and IL points that have
accrued in them during the past month.
Public Service of New Jersey ABS were
quiet though several points above the
200 mark, as were Anaconda rs at about
similar price. New Haven convertible
IS were slightly influenced by the ad-
vance in New Haven stock to a new
high record.
High-grade railroad bonds were frac-
tionally better but dull. The easier
money produced some recovery in
United States Government issues. al
though the change in rates has not yet
been sufficient to influence this market
q great deal.
There were many bond issues that
usually show fair degree of activity
in which there were no quotations DUR
ing a considerable part Of the day, as
interest has even more definitely switch
ed to stocks from bonds during the past
week. New low prices were recorded on
Hudson Coal SIS and City of Budapest 6s
This weeks total of new securities
was again large one. owing to sew
eral important bond offerings and nu-
merous great and small issues of in
vestment trust stocks

ASH LAWN CLAIM

Monroe Family Says President

home Of James Monroe, that the Mon.

acterized as ridiculous" by member:
of the Society of the Descendants o.

was very young man." 1t Is de-

Monroe was very young man wher
he went to Albemarle County to Et
near Jefferson" according to a state
ment Of the Society of Descendants Of
James Monroe. Besides, his life al
Ash Lawn was short.
THE doctrine was written in 1928
Monroe then was an old man. He hao
been President six. years when he sem
his famous message to Congress, anc
at that time owned and occupied from
time to time the princely estate, OAK

Monroe Doctrine, and in this letter the
whole doctrine was outline6 There also
is q copy Of Jefferson's reply to this
letter, dated Monticello, october "a
1923.
1T seems that Monroe was on a vaca
ton at the time he wrote jefferson and
the space of time was too short to con-
suit his cabinet. There is certainly one
fact in connection with the authorship
of this doctrine which stands out in
bold relief-John Quincy Adams makes
no claim to its authorship in his diary
or any other of his writings"
The society defends the distinguished
statesman from the late Theodore

ness was thrust upon him."
His greatness was not thrust upon
him: he earned it," the statement saws
