RECOVERY IN BOND
PRICES CONTINUES
List Moves Forward in Con-
sentative Trading-AIl
Groups Participate.
BY r. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 19.-With
much of the Oppressive load Of forced
selling lifted, the bond market con-
tinued its recovery today.
In some cases the advances ranged
up to 2 points, but in general the list
moved in a conservative manner, with
trading at moderate pace. The fall
ing off in offerings and the recovery
started yesterday have conceded with
a tapering off in bids. Those looking
for a quick turn are keeping an eye on
the stock market for their cues, while
those buying for investment have had
their ranks thinned as the list moved
up from its bargain levels. The i'm
provement today affected all depart
ments. Money rates were unchanged.
Trade news continued scarce, though
there was little disposition to cite the
traditional saying, mo news is good
news" But at current levels the ceSSa-
ton Of definitely bearish factors could
not avoid helping bond prices. In the
high-grade group, for instance, New
York Central As, Pennsylvania 4E2s,
Nickel Plate As and Chesapeake & Ohio
Is recrossed par again on the upturn.
Other advances in investment favor
ties included Baltimore g. Ohio As, Ca
madam Pacific As, Union Pacific IS
and Nickel Plate AIS, the last
named gaining points. Among
industrials and public utilities Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey SIS, Du-
queSne Light 4laS, Western Union IS,
Youngstown Sheet & Tube IS and In
ternational Telephone SIS improved by
fractions to over Ia points.
Convertibles advanced with stocks,
the most active issues being Allegheny
SIS, American I. G. Chemical SIS,
TIT Al
Telephone Avs, Texas Corporation IS
and Chicago & Northwestern 4%s.
Secondary rails were buoyant in come
paratively slow trading. Gains included
Chicago g. Eastern Illinois SIS, st. Paul
SIS, Denver & Rio Grande Western IS,
Erie SIS, Missouri-Pacif1c As, Frisco AVS
and Southern Railway Is.
Industrials moved in much the same
way, the best advances affecting Ma
tional Dairy Products 5As, Dodge
Brothers 6s Goodrich IS, Shell Union
Oil SIS, Brooklyn Transit IS
and Hudson & Manhattan Income IS.
Sugar bonds were active at about I'M
changed levels, in reflection of the an
nouncement that the Antilla Sugar Co.
would be recognized. The company's
first mortgage bonds have been In de-
fault as to sinking fund payments since
the beginning of the year. The COM
pany is controlled by Punta Allegro

Foreign dollar bonds were generally
quiet and firm. Canadian government
Is Of 1860 advanced fractionally to sell
more than "a points above their recent
low point. German issues were I'M

STABILITY OF COAL
IS SHOWN
Only Slight Decline in Spot
Prices Reported-PrOduc-
ton Steady.
BY SYDNEY A. HALE,
Editor Of Coal Age.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 19.-Com-
pared with results in 1929, the coal IN
dustry has suffered relatively little dur
ing the present year. Bituminous pro-
duction to December /, 1880, al &c.,
900 net tons, was less than 1872 per
cent under the cumulative total for the
corresponding period in 1929. Anthra-
cite output for the first IL months Of
the current year Appropriated 6S,7le,-
900 net tons, less than ~ per cent un-
der 1929 figures for a similar period.
Spot Levels Firm.
Levels of spot prices on soft coal
I. o. b. mines have declined but little
under 1929; for the country as a whole.
the average is only few cents less than,
last year. The rub lies in the fact that
sales realizationS in 1929 were made
quate. There have been q number Of
minor seasonal readjuStments in an
thracite quotations, but the general
price structure has undergone no ma
terial change. Probably the most sig
nif1cant development has been the
strengthening Of quotations on No
buckWheat, which has been due to the
home heating in automatic stokers,
With more than 80 per cent Of the
bituminous tonnage entering into the
industrial stream, 1t is obvious that any
early sharp upturn in production must
wait upon a general revival In business.
Against this, however, must be set the
possibilities Of further inroads upon the
coal market by competitive fuels, chiefly
natural gas. In one coal-producing
State in the South this year, the In
PRODUCTION of natural gas has taken q
toll Of approximately 10 per cent Of the
normal output Of soft coal In that
State.
Industry Active.
In the meantime, neither branch Of
the industry is idle Naturalization
underground to decrease costs is making
steady Roadway, although a desire to
cushion the effects Of technologic un-
employment is a factor in retarding the
normal rate Of acceleration. Modern
ization in preparation methods Is
sweeping through the industry and this
movement has continued throughout
, 1880 despite the unfavorable general
business background.
Physical defiation also continues Be-
tween 1928 and 1929 there was q reduce
ton. Of over IS per cent in the number
Of active commercial bituminous mines,
while the production last year was less
than per cent under 1923 totals. Con-
solicitations of existing bituminous COM
panies, however, are more preached
than practiced Outside Of q recent
move to combine IS companies in
Northern West Virginia, 1880 has seen
no major merger.

SOVIET PREPARES

Is Convinced N0D-COmmuniSt
 World Plans to Attack It

Moscow, April IS (UP)-The Communist government of the Soviet Union is convinced that it is in im- mincnt danger of an armed attack by the non- Communist world.
 Scarcely a day passes without this basic conviction being emphasized by some high krcmlin official, un- derlned by press alarums, rein- forced by a shcaf of dispatches from abroad.
 Nor is this merely intended to keep the Soviet masses in a white heat of patriotic fervor. The gov ernment group in Moscow, according to persons close to it, actually does believe that the concerted capitalist war against the Soviets is only a matter of time.
 In Communist circles the question is no longer whether there will be a war on the Soviet Union, but when it is likely to begin.
 To understand the internal situa- ton here it is necessary always to bear in mind this pervading fear of war. Whatever the justification for Soviet apprehensions, the belief in war exists and colors all the Krem- lin's thoughts and policies. The fact claimed by some in this case-does not make it any less potent.

 In this capital of Haiti and also in Santo Domingo, capital Of the reighboring Dominican Republic, one sees an almost incredible num- Der of automobiles, of every make, price, and degree of repair. In any part Of either city on minutes notice. one may flag a "jitney' anI ride for a very small fee 10 any part of town.
 The great majority Of these cars are bought on installments, with many sold at a rate of three dol lars per day. The driver takes the car and makes the daily payment out Of his earnings from traffic picked mp on the street As there is, practically no competition from

the land and to reorganize the basis of agriculture doubtless has been dictated in part by desire to do the job before the enemy arrives. In discussing their plans for heavy industry, machine building and the like, Soviet leaders have pointed out candidly the fact that such industry can easily be turned to the uses of war. There is also ample reason to believe that the moderation of pres sure against the peasants just an- nounced by Joseph Stalin is in part due to the sharpened fear of war.
 The kremlins oft-repeated view point is that the Soviet success in it's various economic campaigns is frightening capitalist nations, es- pecially because those nations arc engulfed in economic difficulties.
 It is the basis for intense military preparations, the announced pur- pose of which is to make every boy, girl and srown-up vcapable of talk ing up arms in the inevitable "dc- fcnse of the revolution"

 The expanding use of automobiles is not confined to the cities. The American Occupation of Dominican Republic, terminated in 1924, and the Occupation of Haiti, now in gradual process Of liquidation, re- gardless of the political unhappl- ness which they caused, were q factor in stimulating the construc- tion of modern highways.

CARDINALS and
BEARS TO CLASH
IN TRACKMEET

PALO ALTO, April 10. U.P)-
Two traditional rivals in all branch
cs of intercollegiate athletics are
scheduled to clash here today when
Stanford and the University of Cal
ifornia fight for honors in northern
California's annual track and field
classics.
Coach Dink Templeton's Cardi-
mails are favored to win the dual
meet by strong margin, with Cal
ifbrnia's hopes for victory lying
chiefly in second and third place
points.
In the face of Stanford's leading
contenders in most of the events
however, the chance that the Bears
can win enough seconds and thirds
to outweigh the Cardinal predicted
firsts was considered remote.
California is basing lot of hope
on "Spud" Mossman, crack dis
tance runner who is expected to win
the mile and two mile events for
the Bears. Stanford is weak in
both races.
Captain Alfonso Pogoletti of Cal
ifornia, is another strong possibility
for pointage in the hurdles.
Stanford of course, is depending
on Hec Dyer, who defeated Wy
koff of U. S. c. in Los Angeles last
week, for the sprints. Fans had the
discus, shotput and broad jump
events also set down as naturals for
the Cardinals.
