Corporation News

NEW YORK, December THE fol-
lowing is today's summary Of important
corporation news prepared by Standard
Statistics Co., Inc, New York, for the
Associated Press:
News Trend.
The securities markets closed the
week with a strong tone despite the
fact that the business indices and trade
reviews gave evidence that hesitancy
prevailed throughout trade and industry.
The reviews make the distinction that
retail trade is holding up WELL whereas
the wholesale and jobbing activity is
experiencing considerable contraction.
This is not an unusual development, in
Somuch as retail trade Is entering what
is habitually the best period of the year,
the requirements for which have already
been covered by merchants. Retail
trade often lags behind changes in
wholesale distribution. Probably the
first quarter of 1880 will supply the
true test period tor distribution of
commodities. The steel ingot output
figures for November demonstrate clearly
the contraction that has taken place in
the heavier industries.
Bank clearings for % leading cities
in the week ended December 5 aggre-
gated $l2,905, 100000 a reduction of
1913 per cent from a year ago. Clear
ings of New York fell off 205 per cent,
and the remaining cities SIS per cent
from year ago. Although lessened
stock market activity contributed to the
decline, the figures appear to indicate
a general slowing down in trade, ee-
pecially as the declines are pronounced
IN areas where industrial activity has
shown a decided contraction.

NEW YORK, December Bond
prices fluctuated irregularly within a
narrow range today. Profit taking COM
bined with a fair amount of buying
to keep prices to their highs for the
current movement. The irregularity
extended to the foreign list and to the
bonds ON the Curb Exchange.
Volume, however. was fairly heavy
and indicated that, while the period of
rapid price changes is temporarily at
an end, the market is active and in
a, sound condition to absorb the large
size budget OF new issues in prospect
for next week. The current demand
for municipals will find some remedy
IN total of $95 .531 All new muncipals
to be offered. This compares with S84,-
1857 during the past year Next
weeks offerings include New York City's
55,00o,000 on which bids are to be re-
ceived Wednesday.
Bonds with stock conversion features
were more active today than in recent
sessions. A strong stock market car
rted along these equity sharing in
vestmentS. American Telephone AIS
were most active in this group. Inter-
national Telephone AIS were 8 points
higher and the Allegheny issues. Amer
lean I. G. Chemical SIPS, American In
ternatlonal 5l2s and Commercial In
vestment Trust IS also improved.
U. 5. Government obligations. after
their substantial advances on Friday,
were still at or close to their highs for
the year, but not so heavily in demand
In the speculative list Cuban Cane
Sugar rs were up points from their
low price of the year. Trading was
again heavy in the second-grade rails,
with International Great Northern ad-
justments and st. Louis-San Francisco
AIS making small advances.
German, Belgian and South American
bonds we're strong and French descrip-
tons down slightly from their high
prices of the year.

Farm land prices are on a more stable
basis than in q long while, although
demand still leaves much to be desired.
There is a general feeling that cotton.
one Of the great money crops of the
country, is due to show a decided i'm
provement. One Of the best indications
Of the position Of cotton and wheat Is
gained from the fact that the Ship
ping Board is preparing to condition
additional vessels to carry cotton and
wheat to foreign countries in the next
few months.
There is every indication that con-
sumption of cotton will continue high.
This Is the feeling which exists in tex
tile circles, as we'll as among dealers
in the raw staple. The textile mills
have been afforded no little improvement
by the change in fashions and by the
development Of new uses for cotton
fabrics.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, December Recent in
creased buying activity and higher
prices for bonds indicate that the long
expected upward turn in the bond mar
ket is at hand, according to the No
vember investment review of Lawrence
Stern &c Co., investment bankers of
Chicago and New York.
Among the factors tending toward
optimism on the part of bond dealers"
said the review, lis the large decline in
large offerings, which creates a scar
city value for good bonds This de-
cline probably reached its elimination
in November when the smallest VOL
ume OF new offerings for the past five
years was registered"
New Financing.
The review stated that the total vol
ume OF new stock, bond and note
financing publicly offered in November
aggregated only $178,237,275. This fig
ure represents decline of n per cent
from last months huge volume of $751;
l34, 346 and is 80 per cent below the
record-breaking total registered for No.
vember, 1928.
All classes of securities participated
in the drastic decline in the volume of
lCW OueTLLlgS IOr Gne last mOnCn WITH
the exception of railroad bonds, which
showed an increase of $5,320,0O0 over
October. Stock offerings were negli-
gible, aggregating but $50, 627 $50. While
small, the bond total of $141 ,61O,025,
however was nearly four times larger
than that of stocks, which, 1t was
stated, strongly indicates a trend away
from the abnormal conditions since the
frst of the year, when stock offerings
have almost consistently exceeded
bonds"
Despite the heavy decline in new
offered financing. there was a
very large volume of securities not
offered-that is. distributed by
private subscription and in the form
OF rights to stockholders, etc. This
financing, amounting to $431, GOO, 900,
was almost entirely due to the fact that
a large volume of these offerings, made
prior to the stock market deflation, ex-
pired during the month. Adding this
to the months total, the No.
vember volume would be slightly more
than $500, 100000.

financing In November as compared

A decline of approximately a quarter
OF million in the volume of invest
ment trust and financing company Of
ferings largely accounted for the huge
loss in the amount of new stock financ-
ing in November, which aggregated but
1927 ,250-approximately one-tenth of
the total Of October.
Investment trust issues, which COM
priSed approximately 81 per cent of the

ings also showed a sharp decline, ag,,
to $50, 333, $50 the previous month Pub
lie utility, foreign and real estate stocks
also showed lower volume and there
were no railroad issues.
November Decrease.
The decrease in November bond and
note financing of approximately $685.
100000 from October was due in a
large extent to a $l13,250,000 decline

loss In public utility issues. The volume
of State and municipal bond issues, as
reported by the Bond Buyer of New

Paul Layton, who left Sitka in December for Pinta Bay, in- tending to spend the remain der of the winter trapping in that region, came to a tragic end in his cabin as the result of the supposed explosion of a a gasoline engine. It is not ex- plained what the engine was doing in the cabin, but it is pre- sumed Layton took it from his boat when he arrived at Pinta Bay and had it in his cabin for safe keeping. The cabin occu- pied by Layton and another one near by were burned and the body of Layton was charred to such an extent that recognition was almost imposs- ible.
