CURB ISSUES DRIFT
IN MIXED MARKET
Leaders Under Pressure, but
No Large Losses Are
Reported.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 20.-After
opening irregularly, the curb market to-
day turned active and lower. Around
midday slight rally in few of the
pivotal issues took place.
The market leader, Electric Bond &
Share, after opening fractionally high
er at 795s. fell steadily until it hit 773s,
from which level it recovered partially.
American Superpower, another active
utility holding company issue, slipped
from its opening of 23h to 223s before
rallying.
Ranking second in activity in the
widely held stocks, Cities Service APP
peared fractionally lower and moved
within very narrow range. Fox The
aters A, in sympathy with the crash of
Fox Film A over on the big board, was
the weakest spot in the entire list of
active issues, sinking from 6H to 534
before recovering. Bickford's at Is
also hit new record low price.
Outstanding features of the first part
of the curb session, aside from early
weakness and a midday rally, were the
frequent appearance of big blocks of
stocks and the numbtr of inactive issues
traded in, rejecting tax selling.
A 10,000-share block of Lehman Cor
poration came out at I'll off %, then
slipping to 705s. Large lots were not
uncommon in the utility list including
such sales as 5000 shares of American
Superpower at 231s, and 10000 shares
of Niagara Hudson Power at IL. A
4,200-share block of Cities Service and
10000 shares of Columbia Syndicate at
5-16 were the biggest early blocks of
miscellaneous oils.
A sale of 4.200 shares of Sonora Prod
ucts at Il was the largest single trans
action in industrials. and 5000 shares
of Hudson Bay Mining at 3A the big
gest deal in mines.
Galena Signal Oil, new, preferred, ap-
peared at SO, up one, and later hit
IS. The old preferred came out at 83,
rise of 3. These transactions followed
an announcement that deposits under
the reorganization plan exceed SO per
cent of the outstanding preferred stock
and 88 per cent of the outstanding
common stock.
Among the high-priced industrials
Aluminium Co. of America opened 915
points lower at 250Ha. Tubize ranged
from 1862 to 141 and then up to 157.
New stocks admitted today included

PUBLIC BUILDING
PLANS INCREASED
Vast Program for Next Year
Insures Employment
for Many.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 20.-One
definite corrective with an important
bearing on national employment already
has appeared as result of the defiation
of stock prices and the availability oi
credit for other purposes. This is a
sharply stimulated municipal and State
building improvement program through
out the country.
Within the last month, municipal and
State bond issues have recovered the
ground lost earlier in the year and risen
to level slightly above the normal fer
such issues before the beginning Of the
stock boom.
Recent estimates placed the total OF
such financing for 1929, at 81, $50, ,000,-
600, with December included. The offer
of SAL 100000 of San Francisco water
bonds and other offerings since this
estimate was made now give assurance
of about 81 1,400, 100000 for the year.
Some fthiS money will be used for re-
financing, but large portion of it will
go for new work on highways, bridges
schools, sewers and other public i'm
provements.

The improvement of the bond market
and the increased number of new issues
led to reconsideration, and the divi-
dend will be paid as usual. This Is
but one of many instances in which re-
newed city and State activity is tending
to stay the decline in industry and en-
ployment. Industries which may ex-
pect considerable degree of stabiliza-
ton in this trend are cement, asphalt,
lime, sand, gravel. building materials
and road-building machinery.

but State Legislatures in several in

100000. Other road building programs
are to be financed by gasoline taxes.
The stimulating effect of this work is
not limited to construction interests and
to labor. but extends to the automobile
industry as well, as the advantage to the
industry of widespread and large scale
road building programs is obvious.
About S25,000,000 of distress sales of
bonds here in November we're quickly
absorbed. Savings banks were drained
of bonds. sold to Offset Withdrawals of
savings accounts. All in all, the ways
are clear for satisfactory marketing of
| the big issues now in the offing. High
grade municipal bonds which two years
ago yielded 37s per cent are now yield
ing as the average of select group
425 per cent.
The weeks issues total $56,594, ,444.
The largest issue is that of the City of
! Chicago for $7,278,000 offered Thursday.
Other large issues were Mobile County,
Ala, $3.325. 900: State of Georgia. salt
Lake City, Utah, and Milwaukee County,
Wis, $2,000,000 each. Montreal issued
$18,500,000 Tuesday for sale in the

love in real life anyhow.
She remembered vaguely some
thing she had read-something to
effect that in her first passion a
woman loves her lover but in all
others, all she loves is love.
Well. there wasn't anything wrong
about that. Only now, of course,
she didn't even love love. That she

A SHTORETH sat on the couch.
"A She was very quiet, and she
did not cry. Her heart, she thought,
was broken. She even told herself
that something within her had died.
After few minutes, she took
Monty's letter from behind Hollis
picture on her dressing table, and
read 1t again, slowly.
Tt was dated a. m. and began:
Dear Ash
This is to say good-by. 1 never
felt so sorry for ane one in my life
as did for your husband, after
the swell little scene you treated us
to. The way he kept saying, Or
child 'Orchid'-it would have wrung
tears from stone, or almost any
thing.
'He calls you that, because it
means something sweet to him.
The orchid is beautiful flower.
And a parasite is a thing that
gratis itself on to something that
is capable of taking care of it.
"a parasite is a plant of an ami
NAL living on some other living or
ganisrn, at whose expense it gets its
food, shelter and the like. It at
taches itself firmly, and it won't
let go.
Some parasites suck all the life
out of the thing to which they cling
so that eventually they kill it.
Orchids graft on trees. and
stumps, and old roots. They are
exquisite things, but they don't care
what they live of.
They are so mean, they won't
even give the bees any honey. But
they are very beautiful.
There are girls just like orchids,
They think that beauty is excuse
enough for being. Maybe it is. But
a lot of people despise human
parasites, even the beautiful ones.
your husband thinks you are like
an orchid. Well, you are. But he
doesn't know how.
"You turned me down, because
you're sort of tony little para
site, and you were looking for some
thing better to get attached to.
Well, you found it. You get better
than you deserve, but you haven't
sense enough to know it"
The letter ended abruptly; your
true friend, who's got nerve enough
to tell you the truth. Monty"
She dried her eyes, and wondered
what the end would be.

doned her hopes of an immediate
reconciliation.
