What is most pleasing Is that
several young women have be-

FISH STOLEN So
STORY FLOPS

Most fisherman find 1t rather
difficult to put over that story
Of how "the biggest one got
away" But not SO with two 16.
year-old Isaac Waltons.
Louise Soule and Samuel Nor
ris, both living at 73S Fifth st.
N. E., went fishing in the Eastern
Branch out at Benning Road
Northeast, and hooked several
carp, one Weighing more than
IL pounds. So elated were they
with their catch, that they
"bummed" a ride from q colored
man so they might break the
news to their elders at home,
When the man let them out at
Eighth and II Streets Northeast
he slammed the door Of the auto
mobile and drove off with the
fish. .
Almost tearfully, the youths
told their story to the father OF
one of them. Instead of sympath
izing with them, as they had ex'
pected, the parent reprimanded
them saying:
"The next time that you 80
fishing on your own be sure
that you return on your own.
This should be q lesson not to
bum rides from strangers you

BONDS ARE STRONG
IN QUIET MARKET
ConvertibIes Advance on
Continued Strength in
Stock Issues.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 14.-Bonds
were strong again today. While this
was most manifest in the convertible
group, which mirrored strength in
stocks, high-grade issues of an invest
ment character. secondary and semi
speculative credits and foreign dollar
bonds all showed signs of the firming
movement.
In a few cases there were declines,
as in Cuban bonds, which are affected
by political troubles; in Peruvian de-
scriptions, also under the cloud of I'M
rest, and some of the weaker domestic
industrials. Money rates were un-
changed. Volume was moderate.
The opening revealed a stronger tone
in stock privilege issues and these made
substantial progress as the recovery
went on. Gains of fractions to over a
point we're shown by Baltimore g. Ohio
Alps, New Haven IS, Chicago & North
western 434s, Atchison 412s, American
International 51Ss, Commercial Invest
ment Trust 5las, American Telephone
41as, Texas Corporation SIS, Internal
tional Cement SIS and Loews IS.
In the high-grade section there was
a moderate demand for seasoned ia
Northern rs, Chesapeake Corporation
IS, Inland Steel 4l2s, American Tele-
phone SIPS. Standard Oil of New York
412s, Standard Oil of New Jersey IS,
Duquesne Light 412s and Utah Power
& Light SIS. There were further ad-
vances in the list of long-term United
States Government obligations. Lib
erty 3l2s hit new high for the year.
The junior issues OF the carriers
failed to carry through the recovery Of
Thursday. Notwithstanding bullish
statements regarding business, upturns
in stocks, protests of railroad presidents
and the evident security of many of
these bonds, few can be persuaded to
make commitments in them. On the
other hand, there has been heavy SELL
ing of hitherto inactive bonds, for in
stance, International Great Northern
first IS. This bond has sold as high as
106 this year and only few days ago
1t sold at 80, but in recent sessions 1t
has dropped over 10 points to a new low.

Gains Shown in Some States, In

ton Reports.

Christmas Club savings for the Ma

spite Of the depression. Reports to the

ings Banks show that there has been
an increase of Christmas savings IN
mutual savings banks in some States.
A number OF others have about held
their own and there win also be slight
reductions. But for the Nation as
whole the total figure IS expected to
be at least equal to that of last year,
which set the record for all time.
In New York the mutual savings
banks alone viii distribute $l3,l7O.552
compared to $11 1865, SIS in 1929. a gain
of $1,204, 979. This will be distributed
among $50, 698 depositors, q slight in
crease from the 273,251 of last year
The substantial gain indicates that
Christmas saving for 1880 has been
more determined than ever before.
All mutual savings banks, operating
in IL States, wiz have total Christmas
funds of 35,573, 1871, belonging to 74l,-
995 people, almost the exact number OF

MARGIN STOCK BUYERS
ARE LIABLE TO STATE TAX
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, November 1.-THE
purchaser of stock on margin Is the
owner of such stocks and should pay tax
on their full value, the Virginia SUI
preme Court Of Appeals has held.
The courts decision, sustaining a
ruling of State Tax Commissioner C. H.
Morrisett, reversed a judgment of the
Clifton Forge Circuit Court in an action
brought by Commemorative Attorney
M j. Putnam against A. c. Ford.
Ford claimed a tax refund amounting
to 81, 485.45, claiming he paid tax on the
full value of stocks when he did not
own them outright. His assertion, up
held by the trial court, was overruled
yesterday.
The Supreme Courts opinion, pre-
pared by Justice Henry w. Holt, de-
clared Virginia did not subscribe to a
view held In some States, notably Mas
sachusetts, that title to stock bought on
margin is vested in the broker until paid
for in full.
In sustaining a lower court decision
in the case of the Commonwealth
against Safe Deposit 81 Trust Co. of Bal
timore, trustee, and Marv M. Steck and
Ida Katharine Glass, the court held
that trust funds establislieA for the
benefit Of Virginia residents are not
taxable by this State If the body OF the
funds is in another State.

SURPLUS OF WHEAT
MAY NOT Be LARGE
Feeding Of Grain to Live
Stock Has Reduced Sup
ply Considerably.
BY WALTER BROWN.
Written for the Associated Press.


CHICAGO November I4.--Traders
here are venturing the prediction that
consumption Of wheat as q substitute
for corn in the freezing Of live stock
will run 100,0o0.0O0 to 150,0O0.000
bushels. One observer contemplates the
substitution as 200. 900 900 bushels.
The Farmers National Grain Corpo-
ration now is engaged in q survey Of
the corn-growing area, affected by the
Summer drought, to determine the con-
sumption Of wheat in place Of corn. The
grain corporation, sponsored by the
Federal Farm Board, has urged the
substitution of wheat for corn. In in
pressed its opinion that the large wheat
surplus was more apparent than real.
Would Reduce Surplus.
Such withdrawal OF wheat for live
stock, l00,000.000 to 200000,00o bushels.
would cut deeply into this years sur
plus growth. 1t could remove the bur-
densome marginal wheat production
which generally goes into world trade.
If, also 1t developed that the Argen-
tines reported wheat rust plague Is Sc
rious enough to reduce its yield more
than so 0O0, 900 bushels there undoubt-
edly would be reawakening Of foreign
interest in North American grain.
Argentina's wheat crop is about the
last to reach the world market Harvest
ing is begun the latter half of Novem-
Der and generally is completed by the
middle of December. The average crop
in the South American republic Is 240,-
00O, 900 bushels.
The survey Of the Farmers National
Grain Corporation may reveal condi-
ton which would enable the Farm
Board subsidiaries to move their sc, O0O,-
600 bushels on the market. Disposal Of
this grain would tend to bring back
bull traders and stimulate interest in
the sluggish market, some dealers hold
Corn Forecast.
The corn belt was not rs seriously
hit by the drought as was first exnected.
| or as the grain trade believed. The
Governments latest forecast was for q
yield of 2,094. 481 900 bushels. Private
reports had forecast q yield of 10000

was ~, $40 900 bushels as compared with
76.359,00 bushels q year ago, or almost
100000 bushels under the five-year
average. This is interpreted as helpful
to the substitution of wheat. The peak
