CURB ISSUES FIRM
; DESPITE SELLING
utilities, Oils and InduStriaIS
Active in Upward
Trend.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February Public
utilities, oils and industrials led today's
hesitant. but fairly firm Curb Market
session.
The bellwether, Electric Bond g.
Share. after stoutly resisting pressure,
advanced more than a point in the
first few hours. This brought better
bidding for American g. Foreign Power,
American Superpower, United Light g.
Power and Power A and Associated Gas
& Electric.
Merger plans and rumors spurred the
utilities, which in the previous session
met considerable profit-taking.
The announcement that Central Pub
lie Service was negotiating with Public
Utlllty Holding Corporation for Port
land tOregon) Electric Power Co. while
having little effect on the shares men,
toned, set many rumors afloat about
other combinations
Middle West Utilities and its invest
nent associate. insult Utilities. again
were strong. Commonwealth Edison at
times was up more than points and
American Light and Traction rose
slightly.
Cities Service early assumed leader
ship of the oils. Standard Oil of
India, however. soon turned active and
1t was followed by Indian territory il
Illuminating. Meanwhile Humble snap
ped out of its recent inactivity and
moved within range of points.
Industrial news at the opening was
Of mixed character. Lerner was I'D a
point as result of its January sales
gain. Tubize Artificial Silk was sold
following Belgian cables telling of the
dividend omission of the Belgian firm
Tubize of America later recovered when
traders suddenly recalled that it had
broken away from its Belgian associate
nearly five years ago.
Payment of 100000 interest on the
Poll Theater chain purchase had a
beneficial effect marketwise on Fox
Theaters A, an associated company.
The Slight January gain in Schultz
United Stores earnings was not re-
flected on the tape.

RAIL WAYS RETURN
TO BOND MARKET
]. c. c. Is Asked to Approve
Lines Issues to Finance
Improvements.

After several months of inactivity,
the railroads again are presenting APP
plications to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for permission to issue
financing notes for sale on the bond
market.
With the Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road today seeking authorization to
sell $2O,OO0,0O0 in bonds, of which
$5,000,000 is for additions and better
mentS to the road and equipment.
the request this year for permission
to issue securities reached a total of
$l23,00O,0OO.
Virtually Had Withdrawn.
After the depression in the stock
market in october the railroads, along
with other industries, virtually with
drew from the bond market on the
belief that the demand for new issues
was lacking and that it would be i'm
possible to dispose of these securities
probably. Where additional funds were
needed issuance of short-term notes
was reSorted to in many instances.
The improved condition of the stock
and bond market, with reduced rates
of interest since the first of the year, is
generally believed to have changed the
attitude of the railroads and started
them on the financing program neces-
Sary to carry on the millions of dollars
in extensions and improvement that
they informed President Hoover they
expected to complete during the pres
ent year.
The New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad opened the activities in
the bond market with a request for
authorization to issue $4,545,000 to
finance partially the purchase of equip
ment costing approximately $4,000, 900.
Since then the applications have come
to the commission steadily.
Seeks to Sell Big Issue.
Authorization to sell S25 900 900 now
held in the treasury was asked by the
Delaware, Lackawanna g. Western. The
New York Central sought to issue
SIS ,28O, 900 Of equipment trust certifi-
Gates, permission for which was granted
today. The Kentucky g. Indiana Ter
minal Railroad asked permission to
issue $298, 400 in notes partially to pay
for the acquisition of new locomotives.
Equipment trust certificates totaling
$2,li5, 600 would be issued by the Chi
cage, st. Paul g. Pacific; the Savannah
81 Atlanta would issue $l,300,000 in
bonds; the Baltimore g. Ohio. $685.
$40 900; the Pittsburgh e. West Vir-
ginia, $4,000, 600; the Central of New
Jersey, $3.50, 900, and the Chesapeake
Beach Railway, $37,500 in notes for
equipment.

Business Notes
BY the Associated Press

by the ASSOCidJeu EISSS.
NEW YORK, February ACTUAL or
ders are beginning to replace inquiries
in the machine tool and machinery
markets of the country, according to the
American Machinist, which states that
while the flow of inquiries that marked
the first three weeks of January gives
no indication of decreasing, the trade is
naturally more eager to see signatures
on the dotted line. Another source of
optimism for producers is the increase
i'll the number of tools on each inquiry
and order.
There will be no reduction in wage
scales in the Akron rubber manufacture
ing industry, and while the sale of tires
used&ls original equipment on motor
cars will fall off during 1880 from last
year. it will compare favorably with any
previous year excepting the record year
Of 1929, according to P. w. Litchfield,
president Of the Goodyear Tire 81 Rub
Der Co.
January sales of raw sugar futures en-
the New York Coffee and Sugar Ex-
change totaled 88l, 900 tons, compared
with 874,750 tons in January, 1928
The National Coal Association re-
ports that about 1l,700 900 tons of BIZ
luminous coal were mined in this coun-
try during The week ending February l..
An analysis of factory employment
and wage statistics made by the Stand
ard Statistics Co. of New York from
figures compiled by the Federal Reserve
Bank and the Department of Labor
leads that company to report that "un-
employment has during the past sew
eral months been more widespread than
in considerable period, but, viewed
from a national standpoint, conditions
should show gradual improvement be-
tween now and Summer"

the American Cotton Cooperative AS
ISOLATION, meeting here yesterday, an
