EXCHANGE SEAT PRICES
INCREASE WITH TRADING
Rx the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 3.-Prlces OF
seats on the New York Stock Exchange
have kept pace with the increase IN
volume of trading.
Having passed the 6,000,000-s share
day mark, traders appear to be shooting
at a 5000 000-share day, while 5,OOo,ooo-
share days are matters of history
Similarly, seats have risen from
$290,000 to approximately $6OO,OO Be
fore many months pass it is expected
they will touch $1,000.000.
Transfer of some 100 seats last year
has yielded more than $20,000,O0O to
holders, and in recent months num-
ber of seats have been purchased as
speculation. The largest profit prob
ably was realized by member VINO pald
$4,000 for his seat in 1872 and sold 1t
this November for $475,0 900.
Proposals have been made to increase
the number of memberships by 25, 90 or
even 100 per cent seat" dividends In
order to provide enough floor traders to
take care of the steadily increasing bus
ineSS.
Opposition to this plan probably will
be overcome by permitting the present
1,100 seat holders to nominate candl-
dates willing to buy the fraction mem
berships anything less than 100 per
cent dividend would create, thus OBJ
Waiting the necessity of doubling the
roster.
Additions of either 275 or $50 men,
bers undoubtedly would relieve the over
worked membership.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 3.-With the
arrival here today of Agent General for
Reparations S. Parker Gilbert, an ac-
tive campaign to interest American
bankers and American investors in the
proposed German loan, the proceeds of
which will be used in meeting repara-
tions payments, will begin.
Mr.. Gilbert has, during the past
year, been successful in adjusting the
views of various European statesmen
and financiers to what is regarded as
the maximum capacity of Germany to
pay the allies and also to the neces-
sity of fixing definite term of years
during which these payments shall run.
His problem is to overcome the oppo-
sition that is so strong in administra-
ton circles and among members of Con-
gress to any substantial concessions
that may be necessary in order to fix
a basis of payment that can be made
with the assistance of the American in
vestor, who will be asked to take at
least 25 per cent, and possibly so per
cent, of the proposed $1,000, 100000
commercial loan.
The greatest handicap that faces
Agent General Gilbert is that of the
American money market and the Amer
lean market for investment securities.

CAMPAIGN FOR GERMAN LOAN
WILL BE PUSHED BY GILBERT

Mr.. Gilbert will make study to see
if it will be feasible. within the next
six months, to attempt the flotation of
a large loan in the United States.
The high interest rates, the steady
decline in domestic and foreign bonds
and the complete absorption of the
American public in stock speculation
led to the abandonment of 'conversa-
tions" that were about to begin in No
vember.
The annual report of Mr.. Gilbert
just published, makes out strong case
for Germany on the score of her ability
to pcy, and therefore on the credit
rating of any loan that might be issued
by the Reich for reparations payments.
Against this is the fact that the Ger
man dollar bonds recently have been
quite weak, with many of the new 1928
issues selling at their lowest prices dur
ing the past few days. Any new gov
ernment loan would have to compete
with the high returns now existing on
the best grade of German external Sc
curities.
In his report Mr. Gilbert referred to
the corresponding tendency" of the
German government and stated that
some of the German states and COM
munes are still showing deficits and
calling on the Reich for additional pay
ments to meet their own rising expendi-
lures

BOND PRICES RALLY
ON EASIER MONEY
Buying Develops, Resulting
in GainS-ConvertibIe Is
sues Show Advance.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 3.-There was
more snap to the bond market today
than for several weeks. This was the
effect of not only lower rate for call
money, but relief from year-end liqui-
dation, with a certain amount OF insti-
tutional buying as one of the factors.
Some of the legal issues showed gains
ranging from IA to "a. There is a
good demand for bonds of this type and
a scarcity of supply, so that trustees are
finding it rather difficult to fill their re-
ouirementS. The life insurance COM
panies are also having trouble in ac-
cumulating bonds to the extent desired
More business in this kind of security
is being done over the counter than on
the Stock Exchange.
A number of the recently weak issues
rallied on small transactions. They had
declined lower than conditions of earn
ings or business prospects warranted,
This was true not only Of domestic but
of foreign bonds.
The convertible issues moved along
with the stock market. The strongest
members of this group were Interna~
tional Telephone 4l2S, Public Service OF
New Jersey 4l2s, International Cement
SIS, Barnsdall 6s, j. KaySer S 12S, Ana
conda Copper Is and the Italian in
dustrialS. While the gains in the Amer
ican issues we're as high as 7l2 points,
those in the italian convertibles ranged
from 112 to points.
The intermediate groups of mortgages
we're not much changed. although here
again the tone was better than it has
been lately. German Agriculture Bank
6S and some of the municipalS rallied
not only for technical reasons, but on
the emphasis that has been placed on
the strong financial position of Germany
in the report of Agent Gilbert.
Some of the South American, japanese
and Central European descriptions made
moderate gains. There were quite
large number of new bond and stock
issues today offerings of bonds alone
approximating $25. .OO0, 900. Among them
were six municipals representing widely
localities and two industrial
mortgages One of the chain stores is
expected to offer a convertible issue
shortly and there is substantial
amount of new financing in the form
of stocks under consideration.
