INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPERS

The Producers News knows that the welfare and
progress of Montana dependent, in large measure
upon fearless newspapers edited by of personal
touch with the economics and politics of this state and
unafraid when stating facts
Because of disappointment, following declared pur
pose the Montana Free Press has been adversely cri
tcised in recent issues of the Producers News. This
criticism amply justified because of the statewide
promise made by the owner.
In letter addressed to subscribers and prospective
subscribers under date of September 25, 1928, Mr..
Clark ndited-
"The Montana Free Press will be
fearless, independent, clean newspaper
concerned only with the welfare of
Montana and its people. ***The Mon
tana Free Press will continue the task
of freeing Montana from corporation
rule ***I earnestly hope for your
operation in this cause through sub
scrption to the Montana Free Press"
Very Sincerely yours,
(signed) w. A. CLARK Jr.
which, necessarily must include the sister taxdodger
the Montana Power In these instances the spasms
endorsabe. We like them.
We submit however, that the A. G. M. and the Mon
tana Power Company have as much right to muct the
people of this state have the railroads. the telephone
and other monopolies, and think that this view is
shared by the readers of the Free Press. And the
same readers have doubtless observed that the Free
Press has not been oudone by the copper in pub
fishing propaganda of our monopolies items.
The inconsistency surrounding the short history of
the Free Press justify the assertion that Mr. Clark
should come forth with a new declaratory statement
or else make good with the original one.

NEW YORK. Feb. 7.-tP1-A de-
vice that would enable a blindfolded

Institute Of Electrical Engineers BY
Robert H. Marriott. consulting engi-

bottom is the guide. Two coils Of
wire are hung one over each side
Of the vessel. They pick up eiec-

tion and transmit them as sounds
through headphones worn by the
helmsman.
When the keel is over the cable,
the intensity Of sound IL equal in

time begins to diminish in one ear
IL Is an indication that the ship Is
slipping off her course in the direc-
ton Of the faint sound side. Fog

CONVERTIBLE BOND
| GROUP IN DEMAND
Telephone Issues Strong.
U. S. Government Offerings
Display Steadiness.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 21.-Concentra-
ton of buying on convertible bonds was
again a feature of the market today,
following a session in which 35 per
cent of all the trading was in issues
Of this type.
1t is significant of the trend in in
vestment methods that first. mortgage
industrial bond today carried with 1t
stock purchase warrants. Ordinarily,
these are attached to debentures and
only rarely to prior lien obligation.
There are not likely to be many straight
mortgage issues or new issues OF pre-
ferred stocks limited to fixed dividend
rate during the remainder of this year.
The telephone convertibleS, which
represented IS per cent of yesterday S
total transactions, were prominent and
strong The International 412s made
an early gain of over Q points. The
trading units in the American Tele-
phone 4I2s were the larger of the two,
but owing to the size of the issue fuc-
tuations were smaller. There has been
steady accumulation of these bonds on
the expected profitable arbitrage next
year between the bonds and the stock.
United States Government issues
were quiet and steady. The new Treas
ury SIS are now selling close to a
premium of a. This weeks statement
OF the Federal Reserve banks SHOWS
that they have recently sold over $50
100000 of Government securities. with
total holdings by the New York banks
down to SIS, 536 900.
High-grade issues were frmer. These
included Atchison. General As, Balti-
more 81 Ohio IS, Kansas City Southern
SIS, Pacific Gas 6S Electric SIS, Frisco
AIS and the Union Pacific and North
ern Pacific mortgages. Anaconda
Copper IS sold within small fraction
Of their redemption figure Of los.
A new low price of 20 was reached
on Florida East Coast Refunding SIS.
This brings them down to a direct yield
Of over z per cent. There is still an
uncertain market in the bonds Of sugar
producing companies pending the &C.
ton of the Cuba Cane Sugar Co. on

has been no tariff action, and with the
market for raw sugar steadier. the July

OFFER IS SUCCESS
New Treasury 5 1-8 Per Cent
Notes Sell at Premium
on Exchange.
Special Dispatch to The Star


NEW YORK. June 2l.-As it turns
out, the United States Treasury might
have been able to sell per cent nine
months note instead of one with q
coupon rate of SIS per cent, for these
notes yesterday were quoted at pre-
MUM slightly above Il per cent. The
u over S per cent allowed to the buyer
of these Government certificates was
added by Secretary Mellon to "sweeten'
the issue and guarantee its successful
dotation.
This is the best record that any new
Government offering has made in over
a year. Since the notes were taken UP
by the banks and the corporations that
bought them on June is they have
steadily advanced in price, while there
has been a corresponding decline In
their yield from the initial figure of SIS
per cent to about ass per cent. At the
same time, all of the earlier Treasury
notes, including those due on Septem-
Der is and on December Is, have been
marching back toward par after having
been at a substantial discount during
the weeks when call money rates were
ruling between 10 and IL per cent and
time money was 8 per cent.
In the first three weeks of June the
average rate on call money has been
per cent. This is the lowest average
since the end of January and the first
week in February. More important
however, to prices of low interest-bear-
ing securities has been the decline in
time money, which today is quoted
under per cent.
1t is of particular interest to note
that the reaction in both call money
and time money rates this month has
occurred in spite of the rise in the
prices of stocks. There is probability
that money rates in the next two week:
will again advance and remain strong
during the period covered by the pay
ments for stock rights" and that dur
ing which Semi-annual dividend and in
terest disbursements must be effected
There is another factor, namely, thai
of the large Withdrawals of currency
that always take place over the Fourth
of July holiday, which marks the be.
