BONDS ARE. HIGHER

Hiuh Grade Issues Have AC-
tive Market-RaiIS
Well Bought.
BY F. HI. RICHARDSON.
Il Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatcn TO Inc SIaT.
NEW YORK, May 2.-While stocks
were going down today bonds we're re-
flecting the general lowering of interest
rates all over the world, which included
the cut in the Federal Reserve rate in
New York after the close of the mar
ket yesterday and the lowest renewal
rate for call money today in over a
month.
There was accumulation of high
grade bonds by dealers, which was re-
tlected in the listed market and in over
the-counter transactions. The aver
ages of all of the first-grade rail
mortgages and of the public utilities
showed a strong upward trend. Gov
eminent bonds were higher than they
have been for some time.
The influence of easier money spread
through the foreign list, where numer-
Gus issues that have not been quoted
for some time appeared on the tape at
advances ranging from one-half to a
point. This group was favorably af-
fected, not only by lower money here,
but by the decline in rates abroad,
which undoubtedly will lead to refund
ing operation where they may be made
at any time and to the purchase OF
these bonds by foreign investors.
Some of the strongest of the high
grade rails were ACcnlSOn As, Canauldu
Pacific As, Union Pacific As, Northern
Pacific AIS and IS, West Shore As and
Great Northern rs. Among the Junior
rails which responded to the money
situation were Chicago d Eastern
Illinois SIS, Chicago, Great Western As,
st. Paul S. Erie SIS of 1875, which raj
lied within "a of their issue price and
then reacted, and New Haven 4 per cent
debentureS.
Local fractions were up from II to a
point Bonds of the automobile and
tire group were firmer. In the con-
vertible list sharp declines occurred in
American Telephone and international
Telephone 41as. with Atchison and
Baltimore & Ohio AVS both higher, and
Philadelphia & Reading Coal IS up q
point and then off points.
The market for preferred stocks has
been benefited by the new money con-
ditionS, but not to the extent of that in
bonds, as the former had moved up
sharply and had held their gains. 1t
was reported from London that the
underwriters of the Sac Paulo loan had
been left with a large amount of the
issue, which was in contrast with the
experience Of the American members OF
the syndicate.

VIRGINIA TAKES
BIG SQUAD
- ~. ..s A9WV

UNIVERSITY, Va, Oct. IT,
Virginia's entire football squad
: varsity regulars, substitutes and
!. scrubs, will all go to Lexington
tomorrow when the Cavaliers have
= their annual game with the Ca
= diets of Virginia Military Institute.
It's not that all Of them will
see action: for in fact only be-
tween 80 and 40 will be in uni
/ form. But for years it has been
the custom to take the full squad
along for the contest with v. M. I.
.' This next game means a great
deal to Virginia. With two vic
tories followed by two defeats the
- whole season for Cavaliers hinges,
',ine q manner, upon this one az
fair. It will show whether or
not the team has really risen
out Of the slump in which it
found itself in its first Southern
Conference game.
For two seasons the Cadets
have come out ahead Of the
Cavaliers And every man on
the Virginia squad knows it
will take a great deal Of
very good playing, both on
Offense and defense, to win
from the ". M. /. boys on
their own field.
Virginia has been preparing q
diversified attack. Frank Sip
pley, who will direct the team at
quarterback, has been given a big
bag of tricks that includes for
ward and lateral passes in addi.
tion to the usual line bucks, off
tackle thrusts and end runs,
Bill Thomas will, as usual, carry
the burden of the Cavalier at.
tack. This versatile youngster
who is brilliant on offense and
. on. defense alike, will do most OF
the punting and passing as well
as q considerable amount Of the
ball carrying.
OO&CWCS AWCu 0Hu 4CWCA
So have mot decided just who
will be paired with Sippley
and Thomas in the backfield.
Bryant and Beury had the
' positions against Penn and
may be in the starting lineup
against v. M. /.
Ward Brewer, Doug Myers and
Ben Pinder. who saw service
against Penn, are all in the con-
test for these places. Gene Stew
. ems, who has been on the injured
list, is also in the running. But
Henry Sackett. second string
quarterback, will probably be held
In reserve in case he is needed
to replace Sippley.

MAJOR TEAMS

Z. BETHLEHEM, Pa, Oct. 13
Starting with next Saturday,
October 18, the Lehigh University
eleven will enter its first major
test of the season when the
Gettysburg eleven will invade
Taylor Stadium here. After that
game Lehigh will meet Penn,
sMuhlenberg, Princeton, Rutgers
and Lafayette on successive Sat
'urdays, all Of which are consid-
cred strong this year.
The Brown and White line will
in all likelihood be strengthened
by the return of Phil Myers and
Frank EYers at the tackle posts
for these games.
Both of these men have
- been confined to the sidelineS
for the past few weeks but
are again available for &C.
- tion.
- The supply of first-string ends
will also be augmented by War
= rem Duke and Bob Clark, who
have not seen action in varsity
games to date, but are expected
to be in shape by the end of the
week. ...
:. Lehigh has gone through the
season to date without the SER
snices of a captain. There have
been acting captains in the three
games to date, appointed by
Head Coach Austy Tate. It is
likely that one will be elected
during the coming week.

Riggs has decided upon the
lineup of his team, with the ex-
ception of the player at right
end, where either Fader or Ziegler
may be picked. The former, weigh
ing but 140 pounds, is the midget
of the team, though MacCartie, the
star runner. is but two pounds
heavier. Ziegler weighs 100
pounds.
The scrimmage of Wednesday,
the only one this week, resulted in
the less of Dulin, fullback, to the
team. He received a bruise on the
groin, and is not likely to be used
at all. Armacost will take his
place.
Though the University of Mary
land has been defeating st. Johns
rather regularly under the regime
of Curley Byrd, an examination of
old records shows that the teams
are exactly even on the series
since meeting began. so that the
result of Saturdays game will in

DECLINE.
TWO BILLIONS
ON CROPS

. While iron!bound conclusions:
relative to the probable amount
Of the farTn-purchasing power
resulting from 1880 crops are.
still impossible, sufficient data
are now available to indicate
conclusively that this years agri.
culture income win fail substan.
tally below that for 1929, says q
current survey Of the Standard
Statistics Company, Of New York.
The survey continues, in part: I
1--WE estimate, on the basis
Of latest official crop forecasts
and prevailing price levels,
that the decline win be in the
neighbOFhOOd Of $2,OO0, 900, 900, !.
or approximately IL per cent.
Gross value Of al farm pr0duc-
tion probably win be the low
est since 1922, although the I'm
dicated decline, ~ compared /.
with 1929 win not be rs serious |
as the drop Of $4,000, 900, 600
witnessed In the 1921 depres'
sion period. Then, too, con- |
sideratiOn must be given to the
fact that purchasing power Of
the farm dollar has been in
creased by the severe decline
in nOIl-agricultural commodity |
prices.
Largely because Of the Sc
we're depredatiOns OF the
drought, crop conditions are un-
usually spOtty at this time, and
will result in q wide divergence
of returnsS. Thus, reduced
values Of the corn, wheat, cot
ton, livestock and produce
yields will adversely affect
trade In the respective growing
areas. Conversely, favorable
results from the fruit, and vege-
; table crops should be somewhat !,
Of q palliative factor. Unque&
tionabIy the decline In aggre- .
gate farm income viii be . de-
cided deterrent to early recovery :.
In general business. However. !.
II the l921-22 experience can
be used as o reliable example, !.
it should not prove an 1nsur-
mountabIe obstacle"

Lehman recalled the predictions
