FOREIGN BOND LIST
REVEALS STRENGTH
Rest of Market Irregular,
With Lower Trend in
Speculative Group.
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January l8.-With the
exception of foreign dollar credits,
which were strong, bond prices were
irregular today ana in the speculative
group there was a definitely lower trend.
There is still a certain amount of
switching from outstanding issues to
new offerings going on. and traders esti-
mate it will be a few days yet before
this factor is removed from the market.
BY that time another batch of stable
bond issues, chiefly public utilities, is
expected
Municipal financing has fallen off to
some extent, many cities and States
having secured such sums as they need
for the present. Up to date there is
only $l2 .567, $50 of new municipal issues
in sight for next week, the largest OF
which is a $2,900,000 issue of the City
of Yonkers. Cook County, ILL.,, offered
$1,000, 900 of corporate tax fund notes
today, and again there was no bid for
them.
One of the big issues in prospect is
for $50, 00o, 900 or $50 900, 900 to be an
nounced by the Republic Steel Corpor-
alton. The new financing is a sequel to
the recent merger of Republic Iron g.

of affiliated firms

MORE CORPORATIONS
PROTECT employees

The value of group life insurance as
a means o. providing for the welfare
of men who have grown old in the
service of their employers is being util-
lied by an ever-increasing number of
large corporations who take more than
casual interest in the well-being of
their staff of workers.
The Woodward Iron Co. of Wood
ward, Ala, has secured group life in
surance covering its entire organiza-
ton of about 5000 persons. The in
surance, which amounts to several
million dollars, is arranged on the CO.
operative plan. with company and in
dividuals sharing the cost of premiums.
The publishers of Iowa's largest news
papers, printed in Des Moines, took
out 81 900 of group insurance for each
of their employees year ago and re-
Gently applied for an additional 81 200
for each worker.
Employees of the Mueller Brass Co. Of
Port Huron. Mich, are covered by a
group policy involving $l,607,000 on
767 lives.
