BONDS IRREGULAR
ON REDUCED SALES
Market Says Slightly After
Strong 0pening-Convert-
ibIeS in Demand.
BY F. HI. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April Under a fair
" heavy reinvestment inquiry, bond
prices were strong and volume was
good during the FIRST hour today, but
afterward the buying diminished and
the list sagged, with a corresponding
decrease in activity.
Beyond the moderate Tightening OF
money with the end Of the month there
was little to account for the markets
weakness. An estimated total of $780,
OOO,0 900 in interest and dividends paid
today should ordinarily have hrmed
up the market.
Once again the stock market was
responsible for some of the diversion
of interest and convertibleS were active
as a consequence. Their fluctuations,
however, were narrow, except In the
case Of International Telephone 412s,
which mirrored a spectacular climb IN
their complementary stock with an ad-
vance to a new high for the year.
One explanation OF the markets
failure to continue its advance is that
the calling of bonds prior to maturity
in March fell of 81 per cent, COM
pared with last year. This coincidId
with a large increase of new financing,
thus tending to set up flooded con-
dition.
Municipal bonds, nevertheless. are still
in good demand, with few high grade
offerings to be had. The same applies
to rail equipment and other legal de-
scriptions. Dealers are in the market
to snap up anything of the kind which
appears. Today's new issues totalled
about $22,0O0,000, of which less than
$4,000, 900 was of municipal nature. The
Boston 81 Maine Railroad sought per-
mission of the Interstate Commerce
Commission today to sell SIS, 100000 first
mortgage per cent bonds at SO.
There was fair activity in the high
grade section. United States Govern
mentS were turned over in large blocks
at virtually unchanged levels. South
ern Pacific 412S and Frisco "A" Is, both
fractionally lower featured the prime
rails, and In the public utility group
American Telephone 512s, Philadelphia
Co. SIS, Columbia Gas IS, Utah Power
a. Light SIS, Utilities Power & Light s. aS
and New York Telephone 4l2s registered
declines.
st. Paul adjustments, opening at 72%,
on over 2 points on the subtraction OF
interest paid, was the most active of
the junior carrier descriptions. The
prices remained firm in heavy trading.
Frisco AIS and MiSsouri-Pacific 51as
attracted considerable attention. the
former somewhat lower and the later
higher by a fraction. National Dairy
Products 5Lzs dropped fractionally and
Goodyear SIS gained a like amount.
Foreign dollar credits were uniformly
lower, italian obligations Stin holding
their high pace of activity.

EXPERT REPAIR
SERVICE GIVEN
AUTO OWNERS
Motorists Are Assured Of
Satisfactory Work by
Pioneer Firm.

Fifty years of service to Indian
apolis and vincinity is the record
of C. Of & Co, LOT North East
street, auto body repairers.
Fifty years ago there were no
autos, so the company worked in
sheet metal. When the auto in
dustry began, this company got
into the making of tenders, hoods
and gasoline tanks, and from that,
as their skill became more generally
known, has taken up the repair of
automobile bodies, Strengthening of
axles, radiator work and similar re-
pairs.
In addition, 1t engages in sheet
metal work, repairing roofs, down.
spouts and cutters, and installing
any kind of sheet metal construc-
ton.
In fifty years it is only a reason
able inference that a man will be-
come an expert or get into some
other line. SO it is with COM
pany.
When, fifty years ago, the Of
company began sheet metal work,
and has been doing it ever since.
and expects to continue to do that
work, it is equally reasonable to
think that they must know how,
and that they must have impressed
the city with their ability in this
direction in order to keep large
force of men at work.
That experience in auto work,
too, extends to the earliest days of
the. industry. In that time they
have met and solved about every
problem that sheet metal handling
could present. Therefore they are
we'll qualified to do the work to-
day.
They have machines for that
kind of work wherever a machine
will do it better, and they have
skilled men where hand work is an
advantage. The banged-up car
here finds a sure repair, on that
with skill and facilities is done
quickly, efficiently and consequently
at the least expense.

WINTER TOURS
SEASON OPENS
Variety Of Ocean Voyages
Offered Travellers.

There are many delightful trips
planned for the severe months soon
to follow that Indianapolis residents
may take advantage of to escape
winters rigors.
Ever popular are the trips to the
Caribbean islands. Cuba and Porto
Rico are Ravens for winter enjoy
ment, and the great lands to the
south Of these make American visit
ors very welcome.
Mediterranean trips have lost
none Of their popularity. They may
be extended as far as desired, with
visits to the Holy Land or Egypt,
and one may go on through the
Suez canal into the wonders of the
Orient.
Many Of these trips are person
ally conducted, which is good way
to travel, as it relieves travellers of
a great number of al1noyances in
the way Of passports, customs rules,
hotel and transportation tickets and
the many other things that might
enbrasses one not familiar with
strange lands.
The travel department of the
Union Trust Company, 116 East
Market street, is ready to take most
Of the trouble of planning any of
these outings of the hands of busy
people, and is qualified by it's years
of experience to help plan the best
possible outings.
Richard A. Kurtz, manager Of the
travel department of the trust COM
pany, will be pleased to give per-
sonal attention in helping formulate
plans for a winter trip.

TRUCKS VITAL
TO C|TY'S LIFE
Tieup of Freighting Fleets
Would Be Disaster.

One sees a big truck travelling
over the city streets. Sometimes one
is impressed with its massive lines
and general efficiency, but more
often one does not think anything
about it or the subject Of trucking
either.
But II something should happen
that would tie up the truck fleets
of the city for even a day. practi-
cally every one here would feel the
unpleasant effects.
These great trucks carry the prod
ucts of the city's factories to rail-
road stations, warehouses and other
distributing concerns: they take a
lot of raw materials to the factories,
and they distribute the products Of
all kinds of concerns to the people.
Performing such a service, the
work must be done with the utmost
regularity. It is big feature Of
modern business-tfis trucking end
of it-and it takes a big investment
Of capital and close attention to
business to operate.
One of the concerns that have
made a success of this work is the
Central Transfer and Storage Com
pany, 1882 South Alabama street,
phone Riley 1884, operated by
Charles F. Roesner.
1t has been In the business forty
three years, and has an equipment
of fifty trucks constantly at work.
Some of these are big fellows and
are fitted with winches to handle
heavy articles.
Regularity Of service, faithful at
tention to the clients needs, and the
willingness to go anywhere, any dis
tance, mark the contribution of this
concern to the community welfare
Its regular delivery service In
cludes about 300 towns and villages
within a radius Of 100 miles of IN
dianapolis, and it makes much long
er trips on occasion, in addition to
maintaining an extensive local haul
ing service.

ADVICE NEEDED
BY COAL USERS
Consumer Forced to Rely
on Dealers Honesty.

1t seldom occurs to users of coal
that literally there are hundreds of
grades of this fuel, and that each
one is different from the others in
fuel value, suitability for domestic
use and cleanliness. There Is said to
be difference even in two mines
working the same vein.
When this is realized 1t easily is
seen that the names different Goals
go by can be only general listing
and are not by any means a salts
factory guarantee of quality.
In fact, the only real guarantee
of quality in coal is the integrity
and reputation of the dealer. First
of all, in his own buying, he must
select coal which he knows to be
right and from mines which he
knows will furnish that grade of
coal he would want his patrons to
have. In that way only can a dealer
be sure his customers always will get
quality coal.
A striking example of the value
of this procedure is furnished by the
continual growth of the Polar Ice
and Fuel Company, 1000 North
western avenue, which has given
splendid service in the best quality
coal over a long period of years.
Careful selection of the coal
offered, full weight and prompt and
courteous service have made this
company SO well known and favor
ably regarded that its business in
creases with each season and it's
patronage sticks to it year after
year, content with the quality of the
coal delivered, the efficiency of the
service rendered and the courteous
treatment they receive.
Where others have been SO well
pleased is a good place to buy.

This service was inaugurated to

Germs, which could not afford the
necessary expense experienced by
employing a regular bookkeeper.
All service is given by accountants
of broad experience in various bust
ness problems so that they are able
to give, at very nominal cost, COM
plete and comprehensive set of

records, this organization also gives
its clients consultation service re-

BUSINESS RECORDS
VALUABLE TO FIRM

lating to various business problems
which might confront them from
time to time.
The matter Of keeping proper and
sufficient records need not be en-
phasized in this day of keen compe-
tition and should be considered as
a vital element contributing to the
success of any business.
Such records of account clearly
and concisely should reflect the full
operations and financial condition
of such business at all times, and
all accounts should be classified so
that the necessary reports, includ-
ing federal income tax, readily can
be taken of without an endless
amount OF unnecessary analysis.
Firms are assured Of such records
and information when their book
keeping needs are serviced by this
organization.
This company is associated with
the firm Of Burkhart & Burkhart,
efficiency engineers, and therefore
is in position to give any possible
technical service to its clients.

Plating Metal Articles
Renez0S Original Beauty

largely are in the finishing of the
product.
Articles to be plated first under
go a thorough cleaning. They must
be not only smooth and clean, but
there must be removed from them
any traces of corrosion or rough
ness before they go into the bath.
This bath is of a weak acid Solu-
ton, and the plating is effected 'by
the disintegration of the metal in
this bath and its being deposited
by an electric current on the sur
face of the article to be plated.
When taken from the bath, after
a determined number of hours, the
plated article is FURNISHED and
polished on special machinery until
the desired finish is obtained. Many
of the articles then are sflellacked.
1t is possible, in such well
equipped shops as that of the
Adams Plating Company, at 1873
West Tenth street, to restore en-
tirely the finish Of any metal object,
so that It wifi correspond closely
with others Of the same set, for in
stance, and to give 1t just he right
degree of polish.
Oxydizing and lacquering are re-
sorted to In many cases, SO that the
company must be able to give a
large number Of finishes.
When one looks about his home
and sees the large number of ar
ticles he uses that are plated with
some metal, he will realize that the
opportunity to have them restored
by complete masters of the craft,
really is a very economical thing
for him, and one that will enable
him, with little care on his own
part, to maintain an appearance
of newness all the time.
A large part of the work, of
course, is the plating of articles for
manufacturers, but close attention
is given to all kinds of custom work.
