SPEC|ALT|ES GIVEN
ATTENTION ON CURB
Grigsby GrunoW Feature of
Trading-Many Other
Issues Sell Off.
BY HARRY H. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 27-An irregular
price movement, with many stocks in,
supply and lower prices on the Curb
Exchange in the week end session, was
accompanied by active bidding for a
few favored specialties.
The feature was Grigsby Grunow, now
considered the speculative leader Of the
radio group. The new stock to be out
standing after the four-for lone spiit-up.
on which the stockholders will vote on
August II, changed hands in large
blocks at rapidly rising prices. It had
closed at "a, which in itself was a new
high. It opened today on 1900 shares
at 65Is, from which point 1t advanced
to 70 for a gain Of points net.
Trading kept up actively in the new
Shenandoah stocks. The preferred
made new high In the first hour, but
the common huctuated around the pre-
ceding close. Selling at such substan-
tial premium over the offering price, it
was not surprising that profit-taking in
volume should develop.
Goldman Sachs was considerably
lower. Curiously enough, the latter has
not benefited from the popularity in
Shenandoah, although the same inter-
ests are in both stocks and their longer
future Is closely connected. Goldman
Sachs early today was of more than
points from its recent high.
Reactionary tendencies were in evil
dence in the public utility group. Mid
die West Utilities dropped points, not
withstanding renewed reports of a split
up. Electric Bond & Share lost ground
A few more were able to advance, in
Guiding Northwestern Power Electric
Shareholding made new top by frac-
ton.
Trading was begun in the new Bald
win stock Of no par value. The first sale
was at IS, equivalent to 260 for the old
stock. Philadelphia advices stated that
it was expected the dividends on the
new shares would be at the annual rate
of SITS. The turnover in Consolidated
Gas was again high, but without i'm
portant change in price.
Lower prices were recorded for st.
Regis Paper and for Great Atlantic e.
Pacific. The latter increased its divi-
dend to IS annually Friday, but the
stock does not sell on a cash-return
basis. New highs were established by
Marconi International Marine, Cities
Service, which had been weak recently,
and Eisler Electric Corporation.

IRREGULAR
IN BOND MARKET
ConvertibIes Led Trading
Today-NeW Offerings
Exceed Last Week.
BY CHARLES r. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 27.-The short
session Of the bond market today was
also q dull one. There were consider
able periods when the ticker was quiet,
The largest percentage of the trans
actions was in the convertible issues.
These were irregular. In the case Of
the American Telephone AIS profit tax
ing in the stock caused a decline Of
about 3 points In the bonds after a
fractional opening advance to 100. In
ternational Telephone AIS were also
heavy but quiet.
In other controvertibles there was a
firmer tendency. Kreuger and Toll, the
most active Of any recent foreign specu-
lative bonds, repeated Fridays high
record price. American I. G.. Chemical
51ss were up point but still IS points
under the recent high. Philadelphia
& Reading IS gained points. Atchison
412s were the strongest of the rails,
with rise of points.
There were small transactions in
Anaconda rs. About $1,100,000 remain
unconverted into stock though the ex-
piration date Is August l. Cuba Cane
Sugar IS declined 2 points.
United States Government issues were
quiet and irregular. Liberty first 31as
declined with Treasury 3ass advanced.
In the foreign list general weakness
In Japanese descriptions occurred. The
government IS touched a new low for
the year. or points under the 1929
high. Toxic Electric and Toho Electric
IS were both heavy.
Owing to the sale this week of $40
000.0 City Of Chicago notes, the total
bond offerings exceeded those Of the
week previous. Over 80 per cent of all
bonds offered were municipals. Rail-
road equipments were three times larger
than all public utility bonds.

restaurant owners handling them, how
ever, and wholesale prices are not
quoted.
Hard crabs continued in heavy sup
ply this week, receipts being heavier
than demands, and dealers offered them
at $3.50 and SO BARREL or so and 60
cents a dozen. The crabs have been
more plentiful and cheaper this season,
it is stated, than at any time since the
close of the World War.
Soft Crabs Scarce.
Soft crabs have been anything but
plentiful this week. 1t has been Sug-
gested that shortage of supplies was
due to consumption of the crustaceans
at resorts and the wholesale use of
season, before the opening of the salt
water fishing season, the crabs sold as
low as IS cents a dozen, but the past
few days they have sold around $3.50
and So.
There has been no scarcity of crab
meat this week. Shippers reported
having extra large quantities of meat
on hand the past few days and offered
it at what dealers said were very low
prices. A low price of Is cents a
pound was quoted for claw meat, the
flake selling at IS and the lump at 80
cents pound.
Swordfish continued as leader in the
fish market this week, the meat being
particularly firm and Of exceptional
flavor. 1t sold as low as IS cents a
pound for the Friday trade. Bluefish,
salmon and halibut were similarly
priced.
Founders. butterfish, paddock, trout,
croakerS and a few catfish and perch
were among the other offerings in the
market the week end. Fillet Of sole
and paddock were in demenad, the
former at 80 and the latter at is cents
pound.
Only moderate receipts of water
melons reached the local market, al
though, 1t Is reported that more than
400 carloads Of the fruit were NOV
ing one day early in the week. Pine
market, but not in large quantities, and
most of the fruit, it Is stated, is small
Considering the quantities of other
fruits offered at this season, the banana
market continues strong, with prices
fairly reasonable. Oranges and grape
fruit are not very plentiful, according
to reports, but there are large uuanti-
ties of small Florida oranges being of
fered at low prices. Among other fruits
OlicIeu IIlc retail LTdQe GIllS morning
were pears, plums, grapes, apples and
Alligator pears.
A surprising condition of the market
on tomatoes was reported this week,
prices going up and down several times.
Yesterdays receipts of the popular
vegetables were light dealers reported,
and prizes scared to 81 a bushel.
And the easiest explanation Of the
shortage in supplies of tomatoes" COM
mented a dealer, sis that hot weather
has burned the vines.
"Such may be the cause" he added,
"but when I was in the business of
growing tomatoes was one Summer
when long dry spell was experienced.
1.-The present shortage" he concluded,
may be because of weather conditions
and it may be that the periods between
maturity Is longer"
It was suggested this morning that
unless there is decided increase in
the crop of late tomatoes the canneries
will be hard hit this Fall.
Lima beans, string beans, green corn,
beets, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes,
peppers, cucumberS, cabbage, elephants,
onions, celery and lettuce were among
1fferings of vegetables this morning.

Speaking Of Highway Bill

ms now written, speaking Of the state highway
gWnd bill, 1t Is proposed to authorize not exceeding
He175 100000 Of bonds Of which S75.0O0.O OO or 50 much
Z as may be necessary shall be used to refund to coun-
ties and road districts the amounts spent on state
designated highways. The remaining S1OO.000,O0O
would be the basis Of all highway construction and
maintenance.
AS amended the author eliminates from the con-
t~titutional amendment all language which would have
permitted any kind of a property tax to be collected
to pay the interest and sinking fund Of the state
bond. At the instance of Senator John w. Hornsby
of the Travis district a new clause was inserted in
the measure which provides that there shall never
be levied any tax on real estate to pay the obligations
arising from the issuance Of state highway bonds.
AS thus changed BY the Hornsby addition the
amendment will be confined exclusively to the income
from gasoline. one-fourth Of which is to continue to
90 to the state available school fund and three
fourths to the highway account. Now is the time for
the friends and the foes Of the original bill to get
together. in senate and house. Enact the measure
end submit the bond issue to the people for the quail
flied voters of the state to return their verdit at the
ballot box.
A vast majority of the people of Texas are ever
demanding modern highways and that the users of
the highways shall pay the cost. They are the mas
tiers, the ballots is the thing and the verdict at the
