DRY GOODS TRADING
INACTIVE THIS WEEK

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 4.-Dun's Re-
view says:
Inactivity in dry goods trading over
the year end occasioned no surprise,
such a condition having been clearly
foreshadowed Some increase of in
terest in supplies wanted for early use
was noted, but broad operations were
lacking. A promising feature, however,
was the fact that more buyers appeared
in the markets than in recent weeks,
while note of confidence was mani
tested in different quarters.
The trend Of prices has an added
significance now and the steadier I'M
dertone shown this week was considered
encouraging. Few actual changes in
published quotations occurred, yet SELL
erS seem to be firmer in their views
and popular construction of print
cloths was a shade higher.
AS a supporting factor in prices, the
curtailment of outputs is of significance.
there being a strong inclination to reg
ulate production and prevent accumu-
lationS.

WALL STREET AWAITING
SPEECH BY COOLIDGE
Special Dispatch to The Star,

Special Dispatch 70 The Star.
NEW YORK, January 4.-The fnan-
cial district is interested in Calvin Cool
idge's coming speech on THE Eco
Monies of Life Insurance" his first pub
lie utterance since he left the White
House. The address, which is to be
delivered at ST. Petersburg, Fla. jan
uary before the annual convention of
the New York Life Insurance Co., is
regarded as a timely and reassuring
contribution to the countrywide eco
nomic discussion following the late COL
lapse of the stock market. That cpl
sode apparently has not shaken Mr..
Coolidge's confidence in the inherent
capacity and good sense of the Ameri-
can people.

What Fixes
Bond Prices
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.
Income Bonds.

Another adjustment bond which a.
Illustrates the peculiar provisions appli-
cable to these issues as a class is the
S per cent income bonds of the Hudson
g. Manhattan Railway Co. These bonds
originally were issued under a plan for
readjustment of the company's debt
back in 1918 and for many years were
an extreme speculation. The mortgage
provides that interest is payable only
when declared by the board of direc-
tors out of available income. In other
words, it is not a fixed charge" as is
interest on the ordinary bonds.
However, now the regular rate is be-
ing paid and all the accumulated back
interest has been liquidated and the
bond ranks high in its class. In rating
security of this type much the same
considerations apply as do in the case
of a preferred stock.
Such bonds take precedent over pre-
ferred stocks and have the additional
advantage of being a direct obligation
of the company, the principal of which
must be paid at maturity, whereas q
preferred stock has no maturity and
represents only an equity in the bust
ness. The owner of an adjustment
bond is creditor, but a creditor with
a junior claim on earnings up to the
amount of interest rate. If dividends
are being paid on the stock which
follow the adjustment bonds it is a
reasonably good indication of merit in
the bond and that is the case with the
Hudson & Manhattan issue.
Rule on Exchange.
The rule on the New York Stock Ex-
change is that income bonds sell fiat
and not with interest" as do bonds
representing a fixed charge However
when an income bond has paid its
coupons regularly over a long period
and there Is no fair doubt about its
continuing to do so, the Exchange
makes an exception In that issue and
such an exception has been made in
behalf Of the Hudson 81 Manhattan
adjustment incomes. This, too, is ad-
ditional aSSllrance tn the riIrchasar

the people and the people believe
in education.
Continue the rule of popular
school government. Do not, for ex-
ample, clTtHil the control of the peo-
pie by taking the district school
budget out of the hands of school
trustees. 1t has done so much for
cur schools. 1t is prepared by men
and women, elected in the various
districts, who know school condi-
tions and who, prompted by local
pride and interest, are fair in their
estimates and seldom extravagant,
because just so much can be OBJ
tanned from State and County funds
and when the budget exceeds this
the excess must be paid by the dis
trict- Yet, strange as it may seem,
an organized effort is developing to
take this sound, business-like. prero-
gative away from school boards.
''The idea of a centralized pur-
chasing &cheme-a state and coun-
ty board to buy the supplies for all
the schools, is under active headway
in the state. I am in favor of econ
on1y and the proper supervision and
checking of expenditures in school
districts big and little I am not op-
posed to school boards voluntarily
cooperating in matters of purchase
whenever they deem it to their ad-
vantage to do SO; but I am opposed
to an arbitrary law that would con-
centrate the buying power of coun-
ty and state into the hands of one
purchasing board.
"a school board association, some
thing, perhaps on the Farm Bureau
order, might be practical and help
ful in both state and county work.
It would add to our strength to hold
fast TO the laws and policies that
have advanced our schools; afford
a better opportunity for the ex-
change Of ideas and plans pertain
ing to both the economy and eff
cheney program and would put CO.
