a broad belt of yellow hair, in

Fritz did not evidently approve
of the use to which his jackal's

RECORDfOF FOREIGN
BONDS REVIEWED
Premier European Issues
Have Proved Unusually
Safe, Moody Says.
Special Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK, October 28.--American
investors who have purchased hirh-
grade bonds of stable European conn
tries have obtained the same measure
OF safety as those who have acquired
comparable domestic obligations. &C.
cording to Moodys Investors Service. !.
The analysis cites the confidence dis
played In certain European govern
ments as responsible for the apprecia-
ton in the bonds of those countries
and points out that lower-rated bonds,
including the majority of South Arneri-
can issues, have declined because less
faith is generally felt in the basic credit
factors involved
The yields on 100 representative
bonds are compared by Moody's, with
particular contrast drawn between cur
rent yields and those in November, 1929.
when the general level of bond prices
was lowest, and March. 1880, the peak
OF this year. Domestic bonds accorded
Moodyis AAA rating have appreciated
liz per cent since November and l78
per cent since March, while foreign
ponds similarly rated have registered
respective gains of 5.73 per cent and
2.49 per cent
Almost as satisfactory is the COM
parison between IA foreign and do
mestic bonds" the analysis states. The
latter gained $50 per cent since Novem-
Der and LOG per cent since March.
while the foreign AA issues have in
creased 6.64 per cent since November
and show no change as against the
level of late last month.
Domestic bonds rated A and BAA,
on the other hand, have risen STA and
per cent in IL months, and declined
6.76 per cent and 1.61 per cent since
March. The relative instability of the
lower-grade foreign bonds Is clearly
demonstrated by the fact that COM
parable foreign issues have dropped 2.78
per cent and 1928 per cent since No
vember and 1853 per cent and 20.70 per
cent since March of this year.
1T is the erratic behavior of the less
conservative foreign bonds which usu-
ally acts to move the entire foreign
bond average much more violently than
that of the general domestic list. The
computation shows conclusively that
"a high-grade foreign bonds possess
most of the investment qualities held
by domestic bonds with the same rating
and (2) that generalities in respect to
foreign bonds must be avoided, since
the average of the whole foreign list is
often depressed solely by the action OF
the lower-grade issues"

CONDITIONS STATIC
IN MACHINERY TRADE

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, october 28.-Conditions
remain static in the Nations machinery
and machine-tool markets. Canada's
new tariff is proving beneficial to ma
chine-tool builders there, who report an
increase in orders, while on the Ameri-
can side, only Indianapolis, with export
demand for the heavy tools injecting
new life in the market, reports any
change for the better, reports American
Machinist. No radical change in the
present situation is expected in the in
dustry before the first of next year.
New York's prediction quietude con-
tinues. School business and replace
ment orders constitute the bulk of the
weeks transactions in Chicago where
current buying is mainly for spot needs.
Detroit dealers expect little immediate
change for the better. Automotive buy
ers there are seemingly uninterested.
Cincinnati is just jogging along, with
increasing inquiries and a fair outlook.
New England reports number of con-
gate, indicate nothing either way. Ger
tain companies in that territory report
good volume of orders; new construc-
ton is up, even beyond 1929, but sales
are difficult to close.
San Francisco considers the situation
favorable, but with little prospect of
real upturn before the beginning of
1881. May sales of replacement parts
are reported, which indicate repair in
stead of replacement of machines.

In the domestic department there was
a steady demand for high-grade invest

around with stocks. Industrials had a

were irregular.
The markets improvement was again
aided by the setting back of proposed
