JOHN L. COOLEY,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, December THE bond
market was inclined to rest on its
upward course today and the two-hour
trading session found mixed price
STSt.s::- Z2ls nndertone. however, was
steady ed there was enough buying
support to advance prices or numerous
coupon rails.
The continued advance of the stock
list directed considerable attention
toward some of the convertibles. In
ternational Telephone 412s rose
points and American Telephone Avs
more than a point, both reaching new
highs for the current movement. The
new Chicago & Northwestern 424s
traded in a narrow range. CONNER
cial Investment Trust 512s rose nearly
2. AtchiSon AVS were sluggish.
1nconsequential selling brought out
losses averaging almost a point in q
few industrials and Specialties, includ-
ing Western Electric SIS, National Dairy

the rail group Green Bay g. Wisconsin

the opening.
Dealings in United States Govern

EAT MORE GRAPES DRIVE
is PUSHED BY ITALIANS
Growers Want Fruit to Grace Table
as Well as Being Used in
Making Wine.

ROME (N.AN.A).-"Eat more grapes"
is one of the greas appeals of
the moment. That growers no longer
want to think of their produce in
terms Of wine :ssSne, <ney want more
and more grapes to grcUe the tables or
Rome and. indeed, of Italy.
All Of us who have stayed in Italian
hotels would be inclined to think the
eXhortation rather unnecessary. The
fruits" at the end of the menu always
materialize as grapes to. -.r.s extent Of
at least 80 per cent. Ia Milan one re-
members great, black, wine favored
grapes, rich and delicious; in Venice,
small, firm little grapes, with delicate
threads Of ice about them as one lifts
the punches from the bowl
If in the Summer you visit the Island
of Torcello, lying of Venice, you will be
greeted by gondoliers clamoring to take
you up the little stream to the famous
old church and also by grape sellers,
who will supply you with their tempt
ing wares for about pence a centsl
a pound, and here as well as in Venice
itself you will see innumerable small
children with bunch of white grapes
c,Ipped In the left hand. They pick on
tslc fruit ana eat them almost uncon-
sciously as they re-: ,:i.out at play.

FOOD IMPORTS LARGE.
Brazilians Get Potatoes and Fish
From Other Countries.

do DE JANEIRO, November 80 (Ho).
-Brazilians eat huge quantities of pota =
toes and dried fish, but both items are
largely imported
And that despite fertile soil adapted
TO the raising, of the tubers, and 1000
miles of coasD off which fish of every
variety abound
Last year the country paid $10,OO0,-
600 for fish that had been dried, smok-
ed or sailed in other countries, and the
potato imports cost nearly $1,500,00O
The fish question is more compli-
Gated than a mere matter of casting
nets into the sea. The Brazilian fisher
men catch only enough to supply the
demand for fresh fish and keep prices
at an exorbitant level. The truth of
this latter statement can be gagged
from the fact that shrimp sold here at
SO pound.
Restaurant proprietors and fish deal
ers say that the supply is scant and
prices high because foreigners are not
allowed to fish in Brazilian waters.
