BOND LIST HIGHER
ON STEADY DEMAND
Volume Increases in Various
Groups, but Price Range
Is Small.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 29.-Bonds
moved slightly higher today. There
were some Irregularities in the list and
it was evident that the REIMBURSEMENT
to meet the low offering prices of re-
Gently floated issues was still going on.
But the steadiness of the market IN
the past two or three days lends
strength to the theory that, for the
most part, the market has found its
level.
Volume was up today and activity in
some quarters of the market pointed
to much healthier trading conditions.
An example of the readjustments is
contained in the movement of Canadian
National IS issued last year. These
have been selling at to IL points
premium. With the offering Of
$4,000 600 Canadian National refund
ing SIS at 9s12, the outstanding issue
has dropped q point in the past few
days and it is now selling at about the
offering price of the new f1otation.
The Chicago situation has had con-
siderable sentimental effect on prices
of municipal bonds, due to the nervous
ness of holders of obligations of other
cities, and to meet it dealers have
been reducing quotations on new issues
in order to move them out. Dealers
report a steady distribution of the big
issues brought out in December, such
as those Of New York, Detroit and San
Francisco. One organization stated to-
day that about 80 per cent of all the
bonds they have been identified with
in the last six weeks had been mar
keted
1t is understood Chicago banks have
advanced funds to pay the coupons on
the sanitary district bonds due shortly
An issue of New York Central
equipments is expected to be offered
later in the week on about a $50
basis. New hotations today totaled
$29,145, 146.
Advances in the high-grade group
today included Atchison General As,
Canadian Pacific As and Pennsylvania
41zs.
United States Government bonds
were extremely dull. ConvertibleS were
featured by drop of over points in
International Telephone AIS, parallel
ing a decline in the stock The loss
was partly recovered. General Theater
Equipment IS. traded on the curb,
jumped points. Mississippi River Fuel
IS gained points, in sympathy with
the new high in stock of Columbian
Carbon. which is one of the controlling
groups of the fuel company.
1t was in the speculative group that
the greatest activity conferred. Trac-
tons issues were again in the spotlight
marlborough descriptions reached new
high levels for the year under steady
stream of buying orders.
Fisk Rubber IS ran up points at
the opening and the 5l2s on the curb
had q 2-point advance. Most of the
gains were held. The outlook for the
rubber industry has improved. Both
Goodyear and U. S. Rubber obligations
were firm to a shade higher.
Foreign bonds, not having been af-
fected by any new issues of Importance
of late, were still firm. Notable gains
today included a fractional rise OF
French 7lAs TO new high level since
their issue.

Miller and Westbrook Out of The
Picture

Sens Eugene Miller and Ed westbrook will not be
in the legislative picture to be taken Of the And
legislature. Rep. Grady Woodruff of Wise county
will be the successor Of Miller and Rep. Jacob 10y
Of Grayson county turned the picture Of Westbrook
to the wall in the August finals. Sen. A. r. Nc
Farlane was not a candidate for denomination. He
decided TO take the scalp Of Congressman Quinn
Williams in the Wichita Falls district.
There was a run-off but McFarlane was not the
runner-up. That distinction was handed to B. ID.
Sartin. OF Thomas B. Loves ablest lieutenants. i.
was q battle from start to finish between Williams
and Sartin but the returns show the veteran con-
gresham winner by a very safe majority. Quinn
Williams has been an office holder and lawmaker
for many years. He has a reputation Of being one
Of the cleverest politicians and vote getters the state
has known. In the August final contest he did not
lose his reputation but he had the closest call Of his
political career.
And 50 it goes. John c. Box who had a national
reputation was the only member Of the Texas dele
Cation whose political life was snuffed out In the
July ballotinE or the August finals. Martin Dies,
Jr. viii be the successor OF Box. and as for the
Mexican immigration issue customs officers and Rio
Grande river patrols have been very active during
the year and Mexican immigration has been reduced
to the minimum. This is the verdict Of the depart
ment Of state and the Washington officials should
know whereof they speak.

Texas Revenue Payments Show
Decline

According to a Washington correspondent. in
ternal revenue collections In Texas during the fiscal
year 1880, which ended July 80. fell slightly below
1929 total. This is a splendid record In itself con-
sidering conditions in the fall Of 1929. According TO
the correspondent. unusual stability In collections
were shown in Texas. In but few other states and
districts we're declines and decreases so small over the
two year period"
All this bears out the statement made to State
Bank Commissioner James Shaw that financial con-
ditions in the federal reserve district Of the South
west made the best showing OF all the reports receiv-
"a by the federal reserve board.
1t is well for Texans to turn their faces to the rising
un. In other words to look to the silver Innings Of
economic clouds and realize that America always
comes back and that Texas has never been known TO
Fail.
