PACIFIC LINERS

Washington. Sept. Y UP)-Thc international rivalry for the Blue Pennant of speed supremacy on the North Atlantic is likely soon to spread to the Pacific. according to marine authorities here who have received reports from many quar- ters concerning new traffic develop ments on the western ocean.
 American. Japanese. and British Canadian lines are to participate in a new period of trans-Pacitic ship ping rivalry. in which speed for pas sengers and freight will be major consid eration; and the eyes of ma rine financiers, as well as designers and builders, have temporarily turned to the North Atlantic to profit by the transport lessons of the Bremen and its mighty rivals.
 Many of the companies plans for the Pacific are still in tentative stage, but at least four unofficial 5 reports studieid by authorities here cosfrm the belief that speed Will Be King" in future transpacifc, as

CONVERTIBLE BOND
ISSUES ARE STRONG
New High Records Establish.
ed as Trading Volume
Increases.
BY CHARLES r. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch TO Inc star
NEW YORK, August 20.-Another
demonstration in the convertible bond
issues took place today. in which new
established on heavy volume Of trans
actions.
The most pronounced strength was In
International Telephone AIS, which re-
duced the gap of about 80 points at
Mondays closing between them and
American Telephone 4ll2s in rise Of Q
points, while the other issue was gain
ing only a point. With today'S rise the
International 4l2s show an advance
from the low of the year Of over 80
points. Atchison convertible 4i2s
gained about points. American In
ternational 512s were up ia, CONNER
cial Investment Trust 5i2S Ia and
Missouri Pacific 5las point. Smaller
gains occurred in General Public Serv-
ice 5las and Allegheny Corporation IS.
American !. G. Chemical 5l2s were OF
points. The telephone issues reacted
from their early high prices.
Little change occurred in the Cuba
Cane Sugar debentures, although this
was the last day for making deposits.
The Seaboard Air Line has extended the
time for taking deposits until Septem-
Der 6. Since the last extension $1,000
900 Of the adjustment bonds have been
turned in. with the present outstanding
amount $5.000.000.
Mortgage issues were irregular. Al
though the market Is at approximately
its low average for the year, corpora
tons that have orders to buy high
grade taxable bonds find difficulty In
obtaining offers. One trust company
is in the market for 81 100000. So far
it has been able to obtain only q
comparatively small amount of the
bonds, as holders of them are not will
ing to sell except at prices prevailing
a few months ago. No new bonds of
this type are being created. so while
the market looks weak 1t has strong
technical foundation.
The trend toward stock financing
and away from financing with bonds
has never been more strikingly Illus
tfated than in todays offerings Of new
securities. These aggregated nearly
$4,000 900, OF which only $500. 900 were
Of bonds. Practically all of the stock
issues were for the account of invest
ment trusts.
