SPECULATIVE BOND
ISSUES IN ADVANCE
Demand for Long-Term
Group SIight-RaiI Securi-
ties Quiet.
BY F. III. RICHARDSON.
- VNG-k-L A. yrxA q. e..


NEW YORK, May 13.-The market
for speculative bonds was stepped up a
little today, with prices in this group
showing gains Of a fraction to 21s
points.
Elsewhere in the domestic list demand
for long term issues was small. The
same indifference to favorable money
and market conditions as has been
shown for the past few weeks prevailed.
1t Is significant of the attitude of the
public toward fixed interest obligations
that the current average price Of do
nestle bonds is no higher than it was
Just before the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York lowered its rate to per
cent.
The strongest issues in the convert
ible group were Philadelphia q Read
ing IS. which advanced about "a points
and Anglo-Chilean Nitrate rs, which
had larger gain. The latter has been
moving up steadily ever since it was
learned that the nitrate producers are
forming a combination to meet COM
petition with the synthetic nitrate man.
ufacturers. Last year the nitrate bonds
sold at 10 and have been as low as SO
since the LIST of January. They are
callable at 1071a.
In the junior rails the movements
were COIlIneO 10 STlal IracClONS, WIFI
no definite tendency in this group. The
same was true of industrial bonds aside
from the convertibles. The application
filed by the PETERBOROUGH Rapid Transit
Co. to issue 100000 of per cent
bonds has a rather academic appear
ance, inasmuch as the refunding SIS are
now selling at a discount of sc points,
and 1t is doubtful If any banking syndi-
cate would underwrite the 10000, 900
Offering under present conditions at less
than q 5-point commission.
The new Japanese 512 per cent bonds
were actively traded fractionally above
the issue price. It was well placed.
Other members of the Japanese group
were steadier. italian municipals,
French governments and munictpals
and German issues were all firm.
With the new offerings already an
nounced and those in prospect, the vol
ume Of new bonds this week promises to
again be heavy. This will include $780,
OO0, 900 municipalS represented by the
City of Detroit and Allegheny County
offerings which are being sold today
There Is gossip of another piece OF
financing of large proportions by one OF
the prominent public utility corpora
lions. A feature of the market Is the
unsatisfied demand for short-term secu-
rites, which will undoubtedly bring a
high bid on Thursday for the new
Treasury bills.

COMMODITY PRICES
CONTINUE TO DECLINE

Commodity prices declined four
tenths of one per cent during the week
ended May 10, according to the whole
sale price index of the National Fertil-
izer Association. The decline of the
previous week of six-tenths of one per
cent had registered a new low level by
two-tenths of one per cent, and this
has now been increased to six-tenths of
one per cent below the low point of
March IS.
Six groups showed declines and three
advances. During the preceding week
nine groups declined and none ad-
vanced. During the past week declines
numbered IS and advances II, while
during the preceding week declines were
Is and advances only Is. The larger
declines occurred In the groups OF
metals, fats, other foods and textiles
The only significant advance was in the
group of grains, feeds and live stock

I can ask for. There Is ever

Not Highest Goal
singing in grand opera, how
ever, is not the achievement of
my highest ambition" she said.
An artist is constantly looking
beyond and aiming higher. True,
at single performance, when
the audience is evidently thrilled
and appreciative of your efforts,
you consider that you have
reached a certain goal, but as
soon as the night is over you
want to go on, on, to something
Tar greater and much farther
beyond your reach"
II am simply thrilled over the
idea Of entering the movies" she
answered. when asked about her
new contract with Metro -Go.dwyn-
Mayer to make talkies for six
months beginning next month.
"I believe I shall be starred in
The Merry Widow and Nell

o secret"
"The idea of singing for thou.
sands is startling. but when I
realize that even as I may be
basking in the California sun,
people all over the country can
be listening to me sing, well,

1t seems too much like magic.
Enthusiasm Unlimited
'There just doesn't seem to

Everybody knows the thrilling
story of the choir singer in

rumor was probably without foun-
dalton.

mite and very thorough and leaves
State Highway No. 8 where it is at
present:

as a dressing room for the en-
ployees. 1t is of wood construction
