Completes Long Voyage
From Germany Without

FAST TIME MADE

BY MILES VAUGHN
United Press Staff Correspondent

TOXIC, Aug. IS. U.R)-The Sec
ond leg Of the longest and most
perilous flight ever attempted in
the history Of aviation came to a
triumphant end this afternoon
when the giant German dirigible
Graf Zeppelin alighted at the
Kasumigaura airport near here af
ter 5000 mile non-stop flight
through the uncharted Skies OF
northern Asia.
Carrying passengers, crew OF
40 men and Germany ambitious
hopes in commercial aviation, the
mighty airliner officially landed
here at 6:25 p. m. (5:25 a. m. EST(
just 1Ol hours and so minutes after
she started from Friedrichshafer
for the second lap of her flight
around the world. She left Fried
richshafen at 10:35 p. m. (EST.
Wednesday.
The Graf Zeppelin was safely in
the hangar at 7:O5 p. m. (5:05 a. m
EST.) 40 minutes after it had land
ed. Darkness hindered the ma
neuvering into play to aid in put
ting the huge air traveller to rest
The Graf had been in the air 1O1
hours and so minutes, thus complet
ing another record breaking trip
perhaps improving on the speedy
eross-Atlantic flight she made be
tween Lakehurst, N. j., and Fried
richshafen on the first leg of the
globe girdling journey.
The time made by the huge dirig
ible was far better than even DR.
Hugo Eckener, commander of the
flight, had expected, for before
setting out on the flight the com
mandcr had stated that he expect
ed to make the trip in 120 hours il
conditions favored.
The territory covered by the
Graf never before had been trav
ersed by dirigible. Little wal

along the route. Even the Soviet
savants could furnish but meagrt
information about weather cOndi
tions. DR.. Eckener virtually had tc
explore the whole route and mar
out his own lanes. In aviation cir.
cles here DR.. Eckener's feat was
regarded as one of the outstanding
bits Of pioneering recorded in avia.
tiOn history.
Greeted BY Thousands
The reception was the mots wild
ly enthusiastic ever received by
the Graf, long accustomed to en-
thusiastic receptions after history
making flights.
The landing field was crowded
with thousands of persons and the
areas outside the field were packed
with many thousands Of others
Some of the people had waited
throughout the night and through
the long hours of the day.
They were bivouacked, camp
like, for long distance around the
field. They did not mind the rain
which fell through the early hours
of the morning. They were oblivi
Gus to everything except the news
which was broadcast throughout
the country that the Graf was over
Japan.
New hundreds continued to ar
rive throughout the day and tc
swell the already huge crowd which
was in the vicinity. The streets
of the city also were filled and the
squares were the gathering places
for other thousands. The whole
city was in turmoil and the only
conversation was about the great
airship which was coming from the

CHANGES IN CURB
PRICES ARE SLIGHT
Market Lacks Definite Trend
Pending Adjustment in
Credit Situation.
BY HARRY II. BECKER.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, March 5.-The Curb
Market was without a definite trend
today. Speculative buying operations
were held back by uncertainty over the
immediate course of prices, in view of
the recent heavy realizing.
The fact that the return of March l
money settlements failed to break the
credit stringency also made for consid-
cradle caution.
Some stocks rallied vigorously, while
number of others continued under
pressure One or two indicated an over
extended bull market, especially Avia-
ton Corporation of America. After its
almost perpendicular rise of approx
mately 35 points since last Friday, the
price today crashed IS points from yes
terday's closing and then f1uctuated
nervCuslv. Fokker. on the other hand,
was bid up considerably and was the
lone strong member of the group.
Stocks like Tubize Silk. at new low;
Checker Cab Auburn Automobile, Gold
Seal Electrical, American Cyanamid B.
and Iehieh Coal and Navigation con-
tinued under heavy profit taking. Gains
in other equally prominent industrials
about balanced losses elsewhere, Good
support came into all the chain-store
can Department Stores well taken. The
buying movement in Trans Lux gained
force on a report that February orders
amounting to 104 reproducing ticker
machines were the highest for any
month and brought the total now. in
operation to ! 900 units.
Libby Owens Glass was another strong
feature, rising sharply on recent IA
vorable developments in its earnings
and bright future prospects.
Fandango, which also supplies ac-
cessories to automobile manufacturers,
was helped by official announcement
that rights to subscribe to new stock
would shortly be offered stockholders
and that negotiations were in progress
for supplying several low-priced car
makers with their entire needs of car
upholstery trimmings.
Oil stocks did little, while mining
shares came in for their usual degree
of activity. The only movement of note
was a rally in Newmont in sympathy
with other coppers. Its large holdings
in Kennecott, Greene Cananea, Ana
conda and International Nickel, all Of
which have enjoyed material advances
during the past year, gave it the distinc-
ton of an investment company.

been attracted in large quantities: The
stock market is paying dearly for its
credit. But evidently the market still
considers business prospects bright
enough to pay the high interest charges.
How long this situation Will continue
it is difficult to say.
Meets Resistance.
In previous stock market advances
the point has always been reached
where the stock market considered that
future business prospects did not war;
rant the payment of increasingly OPP
pressive interest charges. We seem to
be approaching the point where high
interest rates will finally have an eff
feet. for in many reliable quarters the
peak for the current business expan-
sion is expected during the Spring
months.
It is also significant that as the gen.
eral market last week approached the
high which it has been unable to break
for four months now, the volume of
trading rose sharply. Because of the
large volume of stocks offered at these
prices it wasn't able to break through
to higher levels when money was easier,
and now, although business Is admitted
" better than on previous occasions, we
are closer to the period where declin-
ing business may be experienced.

o% MARKET
q, W. '' u
BY KENNETH S. VAN STRUM.

NEW YORK, March 5.-After two
weeks of steady climbing the stock
market is again near the high levels OF
early February. The volume of trad
ing has increased from 100000 shares
during the early part of the advance
to 5000 900 shares last Friday. At this
point, the old highs were approached
and the market became more irregular
as it met resistance to the advance.
The more spectacular advances were
staged in the steel, rubber, copper and
amusement groups, although many
others also showed strength. The rise
In the steels conferred about the strength
in Steel common, and the amusement
and radio group continued to respond
to the favorable reports from those in
dustries. The trend of the coppers and
r,lbbers was closely associated with the
wide fluctuations in the price OF those
commodities.
The Rails.
Toward the end of the week. when
the resistance to the advance in the
industrials began to be more evident, a
few rails began to move forward. Again
the question arises as to whether the
rails will be whirled upward again just
when further advancement by the in
dustrials seems difficult. Perhaps we
are to experience another sharp rise,
with subsequent reaction similar 10 the
one which occurred few weeks ago.
Steel Corporation.
The plan of the United States Steel
CORPORATION to replace its bonds with
common stock excited much comment,
for it shows that at least one group Is
taking advantage of the present high
rate of operations in the steel indus
try and the unprecedented demand for
common stocks to cut down their fund
ed indebtedness.
The plan aims to retire some $27l,-
600, 900 worth of per cent bonds by
giving stockholders the right to subscribe
TO additional stock. The soundness of
the plan is obvious. Steel common is
selling to yield around 3.6 per cent and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-03-05

it is possible for the corporation to OBJ
tain additional money from the sale OF
common stock on a lower yield basis
than from the sale of bonds. Also, 1t
will put the corporation in much
stronger financial position when the
steel business reaches less prosperous
days.
With steel leading the current adj
vance from the start, the present mar
ket might better be called Morgan
than a Hoover" market. The Steel
Corporations proposals are being used
as bull arguments, but since 1t VIII take
some months to carry the plans through
1t is not reasonable to regard these &C
tiyities as a whole hearted Endorsement
by these interests of further sharp
stock market advance.
Call Money.
Average call money renewal rates last
week were TT, per cent the highest
average rate this year except during the
week covering the January first pay
ments. These weeks in February and
early March are normally weeks OF
seasonal ease, but throughout this period
the call rate has advanced steadily
from the per cent level Of four weeks
ago.
The weekly bank statement. showing
an increase of $1,000 900 in brokers
loans, did not include the loans made
to finance the higher stock prices pre-
vailing during the last four days OF the
week, since it records only the figures
as of the close on Tuesday. Only the
current rate for call money cen tell
how Others" are meeting the current
credit needs of the stock market
The bank statement showed that the
out of town banks were following their
instructions to cut down their brokers
loans, for they withdrew $S3,000,0oO
from the market during the week.
Since total brokers' loans increased $50
100000, $123,000.000 was needed TO NIL
the gap. "Others supplied $56,000,00O,
and New York banks $4,000, 900.
While 1t is normal situation for
New York banks to supply funds tenn
porarily needed in the call money mar
ket to tide over the month end. the
belief was current that. after the Re
serve Boards warning. the New York
banks would be inclined to let the brok-
ers' loan market shift for itself These
latest figures, however show that they
still consider the call money market
their pet and are still inclined to help
1t over the rough spots.
Looking at the situation over a longer
period Of time, however, 1t still appears
that during the past few weeks With
that "others" must finance the stock
market rise. And 1t is most significant

NEW YORK, March 5.--The rapidly
growing volume of funds loaned in the

tiles, has become one of the most vexing
problems in Wall Street.

$1.110,000, 200 on February 8, 1928, to

the same period, loans for the account

no general responsibility toward the

concern to New York bankers, who re-
gard 1t as a dangerous threat to the
continuance of business prosperity.
They claim it has lessened the supply
of funds available for regular business
purposes, and is making it more diff
cult for banks to continue a policy OF
affording an ample supply at rates
which to some extent are independent
of rates ruling for brokers' loans. 1t is
asserted further that this huge volume
of outside credit made it available for
speculative operations tends to nullify
all safeguards which experience and
legislation have provided for the bank
ing business in the past.
