One of the most noteworthy features
both of the 1926-1929 bull market, and
of the current forward movement, has
been the insistent and sustained pub
lie demand for utility shares. Such
issues, which for more than four years
past, have been priced higher, both on
yield and earnings, than the vast ma
jority of rail and industrial issues, dur
ing the greater part of that period have
been eagerly bought at rising prices.
Between March, 1929, and September,
1929, utility issues advanced almost
twice as fast as the general run of in
dustrials. The Standard Statistics Co.
index of 81 leading issues in this group
gained $50 per cent, while the index
of 337 industrials, during the cor
responding major upward swing, showed
q net appreciation of only 142 per cent.
During major bear markets utility
shares have generally shown better re-
sistance to selling than industrial is
sues. The downswing eliminating In
November, 1929. was an important ex-
ception.
Recovery in the utility group has been
exceptionally rapid. More than So per

NEW YORK, May 17.-Thousands of
half-savage black men, toiling under a
tropical sun, raise cocoa for the white
mans sweet tooth, but cocoa's market
price is established by the trading on
the New York Cocoa Exchange.
Dependent upon Africa and Brazil to
raise the cocoa bean it consumes in the
form Of candy, beverages and other
sweets, the United States nevertheless
dictates the price of cocoa in other
markets.
This is due, explains Eugene Cana
lizo, president of the exchange, to the
dominant position the exchange, first
of it's kind in the world, has gained
within five years.

Formerly the market price for cocoa
was established by the weekly cocoa
auctions in London. 1t is under the
British flag that more than so per cent

Years ago shippers and importers
with cocoa to sell were forced to find
buyers as best they could, making their
own offerings to prospective customers.

Swedish Match King Says En-

CHICAGO, May 17.-Speaking on in

only enlightened self-interest."

Kruger urged the creation in the main
creditor nations of a sufficiently broad
and reliable market for international
securities. This market, he said, should
make it possible for any country with
sound finances to have deficit in the
yearly payments transferred into long
time loans at a reasonable rate Of in

Kruger paid tribute to the work Of
Ambassador Dawes, Parker Gilbert,
owen Young, j. P. Morgan, Jackson

that it was no mere coincidence that
