special Dispatch TO The Sta
NEW YORK, october 23.-Early
gains on the Curb Exchange were
erased in the first hour, but a fresh
rally in pivotal issues around midday
strengthened other sections of the list.
Selling as usual was directed first
against Electric Bond g. Share, but
pressure there met with little success as
that stock at intervals showed an ad-
vance of almost three points. Cities
Service was firm most of the forenoon,
showing gain of a half point.
The weak spot in the utility division
was Natural Gas shares. Lone Stax
Natural Gas, one of the most seasoned
Of the group, sold down about point
toa new low level. United Gas pre-
ferred, however, rose 1la points.
Traders paid no attention marketwise
70 several small consultations in the
Southwest.
Pennroad Corporation was sold in
moderate amounts around midday as
traders noted the decline of some of
the railroad holding companies listed
on the Stock Exchange. After Penn
road hit a new low level for the year,
selling came into some of the general
trading corporations, known to have
large holdings Of rail issues, and into
some trusts specializing in carrier
cSCullCleS.
Previous to the noon rally, trading
was slow, volume in the first two hours
being only 267,400 shares, compared
with $4,000 in the same period
Wednesday.
The fresh reduction in copper prices
was forecast by further shrinkaVe
Of red metal shares. This group like
wise was affected by reduced dividend
declarations Of some of the larger
mining companies.
Manufacturing stocks ignored specific
favorable corporate news. Powdrell &

shortly after the declaration of the
regular common quarterly dividend. s.

~ YEAR ago the Stock Market plunged
into panic that exceeded in vio-
lence any previous debacles in Wall Street
history In few days securities dropped
thirty billions of dollars in value an
appalling sum which to illustrate, practically
equalled the devastation of the World War.
Just recently stocks again sank to new low
records. During this year thousands have
seen their savings swept away in the tor
nado of speculation.

MONK FROM sREECE.... IN ALASKA SEEKING
 AID FOR BROTHERS

From the ancient and histori- cal slopes of Mount Athos Greece to the coast of . Alaska. is long journey and especially 50 for a monk who, for many many years. has been an in- mate of a monastery.
 But Father Nicone- who arriv- ed in seward from Kodiak on the sS Admiral Farragut. has made such journey in response to requests of brother monks. Since the overthrow of the Czar of Russia, this monastery which was the haven for ab1ut 15O monks, has been practically pen- niless Where in former years donations were sent from Rus- sia. for the last l5 years the monks have existed only by dis- posing of their church orna ments, paintings, icons, massive bells and even the pipes in the plumbing system. Things have now reached a point where there is nothing else to be sold and starvation is faced.
 The original l50 monks has dwindled down to about 37 the younger monks having left in order the older might De fed.
 It is the desire to obtain fin ancial assistance in America, and Alaska, that Father Nicone is now here and thus far, he has been quite successful. The few small communities to the West ward contributed to the cause with a most generous spirit, he said For centuries the monastery has been without hospital facil- ities; their has been no land for them to till no vineyard or or chard, owing to the almost per- pendlcular slopes of Mount Athos; there has been nD place, no home for the helpless aged. These are the three aspirations of these religious men. It is es- timated an assured sum Of $40 a day will be sufficient for l5O.
 Of Father Nicone himself, an interesting figure unfolds as one listens intently to catch every word and sentence uttered in remarkable excellent English. Be- fore taking the VOWS Father Nicone was high officer in the service of the Car and had performed numerous missions in foreign countries for his Aone- land. Following the World war he entered the monastery, there to spend the remainder of his ] life in prayer for the salvation

|. MARKET IS STEADY
South American Issues in De.
mand on RumorS of Rev.
oIution's Collapse.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 3.--With the
rest OF the list dull and irregular, the
strength of South American bonds was
the feature of the investment market
today.
Some of this was attributable to COW
ering by spectators who went short of
Argentine issues on the superstition that
revolution was in the making and
who are now protecting themselves in
view of the continued quiet in that
country. Still more of the strength was
traceable to investment buying induced
by the bullish news that rapproche-
ment is imminent between Bolivia and
Peru, whose chickering's in the past have
often resulted in loss to investors in
their credits.
Right from the start it was evident
that better outlook was seen for the
future of South American bonds. Ar
gentine IS gained point in all maturi-
ties. Bolivian rs were up like amount
Sac Paulo IS and the recent Coffee
Realization rs. sympathetically affected
and also strong in the face of reports
that another sterilization credit is being
arranged in London, were higher, the
former by nearly points. Peruvian
bonds were firm.
Apart from this group the foreign
department was quiet, though there was
impressive strength in some of the Ger
man descriptions, notably Berlin 612S
Cologne Gigs and United Steel Works
A 6l2s Q95D. Swiss 5l2s. Belgium 'SS,
Norway IS and Japanese 51as advanced.
In the high-grade domestic section
there were a few declines caused by
the competition of a $40,000,000 issue
of Portland General Electric first and
refunding AIS, which were priced at
1924. The selling affected such issues
as Utah Power e. Light SIS, Philadelphia
Co. 5s, Duquesne Light 4 l2s and COM
parable bonds which are selling around
a 400 to $50 per cent basis against
the 400 yield of the new issue.
Such high-grade rails as Canadian
Pacific As, which are not legal invest
mentS for savings banks and trust COM
panies in New York State, were also
off shade, but otherwise the rail
group showed strength, with small ad-
vances in Baltimore g. Ohio first As
and others.
Junior rails were fairly active with
price fluctuations about evenly divided.
International Railways of Central Amer
lea Gas, rejecting the improved tone
in Latin-American credits, gained 2
points, though the first mortgage SIS
were unchanged. st. Paul Adjustments,
st. Paul 5s, Florida East Coast SIS,
International Great Northern Adjust
ments. Frisco 4las, and Southern Rail-
way As improved. Erie General Lien As
and Erie SIS were lower. Industrials
were dull.
There was total of over $45, 0O0, 900
in new bonds, including besides the
$40, 100000 Portland General Electric
issue, $2,264.00O New York Water Serv-

RAILWAY EARNINGS
INQUIRY SCHEDULED
Rate Base Is Basis for Quiz in
Congress on the Howell
Bill.

BY the Associated Press.
Echoes Of the celebrated O'Fallon de-
cision of the Supreme Court will rever-
berate in Congress next session when
hearings are opened on the Howell bill
to provide q method of arriving at a
rate-base for determining railway earn
ings
The provision of the bill by Senator
Howell, Republican, Nebraska, center
around the value Of the railroads and
also would require that earnings above
per cent be held in trust, one-haf for
investors and one-half for the United
States.
Determined opposition to the measure
already has been expressed In BRIEF
filed with the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee by Alfred P. Thorn,
general counsel for the Association OF
Railway Executives.
Thorn commended the bill would be an
"insidious and dangerous" approach to
Government ownership and manage
ment.
In the decision, handed down last
year, the court ruled the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in fixing val
uation of the st. Louis and O'Fallon
Railroad, had not given sufficient con-
sideration to cost Of reproduction.
The brief by Thorn insisted the How
ell proposal for determining a rate base
was contrary to the OFallon decision
and that the figure arrived at would be
far less than actual value.
"It is respectfully submitted" the
brief asserted, that Congress will not
accept so, fragrant O defiance of the
court and Of the Constitution"
Thorn added there was no danger to
the public from strong and prosperous
railroads. -contending that even il they
had 1.-The purpose to Cypress they are al
ready so regulated as to make oppres-

The hearings will be before the Inter-

| gan, is chairman.
