IRREGULAR
IN NARROW RANGE
Brazilian Group Sold on Ex'
tension of Moratorium
by Government.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.


NEW YORK, october 2l.-Bond trad
ing today had an uncertain tone, with
price fluctuations indeterminate and
featureleSs.
The extension of the Brazilian bank
ing moratorium to November 30 was
not unexpected by the market, but 1t
nevertheless caused fresh nervousness
regarding Brazilian bonds and trading
in these reflected 1t.
The probability of a debt moratorium
for Germany was a factor in further
weakness in German securities, chiefly
the Government SIS, which had a
fractional decline. Dealers have been
exercised over what they term the I'M
warranted selling of these bonds on the
misapprehension that they will be in
cluded In the debt moratorium when,
as q matter of fact, suspension of
reparations payments should help the
bonds. Otherwise the news from Ger
many was good, the Berlin market
running stronger on a wave of renewed
optimism. German Central Bank IS,
United Steel Works 61aS and other Ger
man industrial credits were higher.
Money. rates were unchanged. Vol
ume was lower than on Monday.
Prime public utility issues were strong,
but industrialS had lower trend Ma
tional Dairy Products 5l4s and Armour
OF Delaware 5l2s were lower. American
d Foreign Power IS ranged fractionally
better, paralleling a movement upward
In the companyS common stock. Con-
VertibleS were quiet.
The domestic market was chiefly con-
erned about the earnings of the rail-
roads, few September reports already
out indicating renewed decreases. Since
the legality Of many heretofore unques-
toned issues has been doubted under
existing conditions, many of them have
been driven to new low levels for the
year. This tendency was exemplified
today In new low levels for Chicago &
Eastern illinois,. IS, Chicago Great
Western Is, st. Paul adjustments, some
junior obligations of the Chicago &
Northwestern, Missouri Pacific As and
512s, Frisco AIS and Western Mary
land As.
At the same time high-grade railroad
bonds moved irregularly. There were
small gains in Canadian Pacific As,
Pennsylvania AIS, and Chicago, Burl-
ington & Quincy Is, and slight declines
in AtchiSon general As, Baltimore &
Ohio first As, New York Central As,
Frisco "a" As and Chesapeake & Ohio
41as.
At noon bids for New York City's
$50, 000, 900 of 4 per cent bonds were
opened, and the issue was awarded to
the Chase Securities Corporation at
10000 There were only three other
bids, one by the Liberty National Bank
for a 100000 slice at par, one by Will
liam Phillips of Dillon, Read & Co. for
500 900 at 100.125 and one by the
Kings County treasurer for 5000 of
the bonds at par. 1t was significant of
the current nervous state of the mu-
nicipal market that there were no bids
from the National City Co., j. P. Nor
gan & Co. or the Kuhn, Dillon,
Read groups, which usually bid so
strongly for New York City or State
issues.

Youths First Earnings
Usually Go for Food

When a boy closes his first adven-
ture in finance with money in his
pockets, earned by his own efforts, his
first impulse is to buy something to
eat.
I'VE have no more important Gus
TONER" said the proprietor Of city
lunch counter. ethan the boy who has
earned his first dollar. Now, you don't
often find a boy whose clothing in
dicates financial straits at soda
counter in a drug store. His needs
are for something more satisfying, and
he comes to us. He looks over the
menu with an eye to quantity rather
than to quality. Corned beef and cab
bage have a greater appeal to him
than artichokes, and having eaten he
puts small tip beside his place with
"a nonchalance that is amusing"
The boy may have few cents left.
If there is no urgent need for his con-
'tribution to the family budget he stops
'at store on the way home and buys
his mother something she does not
need. Thus, very early, he begins ex-
pressing his love in the stereotyped
masculine way.

Sharing Of Song Birds
Popular Italian ".Sport'''

The sport OF shooting and snar-
ing song birds is very popular all
over Italy, especially in Tuscany. Per
haps it is not quite so prevalent as it
was In the old days when every villa
had its ''uccelatolo" or little thicket
to which birds were lured by the call
of tame Gagged birds trained for the
purpose. They were either shot or.
more frequently, caught alive on twigs
smeared with bird-lime, artfully con-
cealed among the trees, and dispatched
by having their necks wrung.
Yet so long as thrushes, larks and
their kind, roasted on a skewer with
sage leaves, continue to be favorite
winter dish, so long will the little
victims for the banquet continue to be
shared, and the bird fair at Porta Ro-
mana, held from time immemorial on
September %, provides the where
withal.
The fair starts early. Long before
daylight country bird trainers begin
to arrive from far and near, with
hosts Of tiny wicker cages each con-
tanning song-bird. The variety is In
finite. Chaffinches and thrushes fetch
the highest prices.-London Mail.

Racing in Paraguay

The start of a Paraguayan horse
race is often very protracted. It may
be set to begin early in the morning,
and series of false starts continue
until noon, when the owners Of the
horses take their charges home for
rest and refreshment. Then they will
meet in the afternoon to begin all
over again. The reason for the de-
lay is that no race can begin until
both jockeys are agreed that neither
has the advantage; so they canter
up to the start many times until
they make up their minds to go.
