BONDS IRREGULAR

Prime Issues Show Better

Sharply Lower.

.eciaI Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 3O.-Today's
bond market was a highly irregular
affair, with many evidences of support
in deprecated issues and some improve
ment in prime descriptions. But many
domestic and foreign dollar obligations
were sharply depressed under a moder-
ately heavy load of last-minute selling
for income tax purposes and year-end
liquidation by concerns desirous of
showing large cash balances as of De-
cember 81. Trading was heavy.
The market was irregular from the
start. Railroad bonds had an encourag-
ing tone on the news that $4,000 South
ern Pacific shop employees had volun-
tarily agreed to 10 per cent wage
reduction. This was construed as i'm
proving prospects for general re-
duction which, it is estimated will save
the carriers $200,000,000 in 1882. An
other item of good news was that New
York Central will earn its 1881 liked
charges with a small surplus. The mar
ket Rad anticipated that the road would
earn about 95 per cent Of fixed charges.
AS result rail issues generally were
better.
There was some brisk bidding for
while. which pushed Atchison General

Industrials and utilities had no dis
cernible trend. Western Union 5S OF
1860 lost a point, while the 5s OF 1851
were point higher. Youngstown Sheet
e. Tube 5s gained fractionaly and Ma
tional Steel SIS lost fraction. Utah
Power g. Light IS firmed. American
Telephone SIS were steady. The cana
dian group of rail and industrial issues
were about a point lower, rejecting a
lower quotation for Canadian dollars
with year end money requirements.
Bonds were irregular in fairly active
trading at the opening. The best buy
ing was in domestic railroad issues,
especially the highgrade group.

vances in Baltimore & Ohio first IS,

Stock Exchange houses today report

clients, who have not been dispoSing OF
their securities, but now take the posi-
tion that they might as well recover
from them as much in tax advantages
as is possible. There has been little re-
purchasing OF stocks sold to establish
hosses, as the general view has been that
there is no need to hurry as the securi-
ties sold might be purchased later on
at lower prices. Another phase OF the
tax situation Is that those who. are

operations hesitate to cover before the
end Of the year as by doing so they
would be compelled TO include these

BANKERS DISCLA|M
BLAME FOR CRASH
Declare Impetuous Spirit of
Youth Brought on Stock
Market Collapse.
BY FRANK III. MCCONNELL,

NEW YORK, December 30-The i'm
petuous spirit Of youth and not time
seasoned American banking practice
was responsible for the 1929 stock mar
ket collapse, several leading New York
bankers said yesterday.
In the frenzied speculative orgy of
1928 and 1929, they recalled, the eau
ttouS warnings of some of Americas
elder economists and business men were
brushed aside. This, they said, was Just
as true in the commercial and profess
slonal fields as it was in banking and
brokerage circles. The adage that
youth will be served" was the watch
word of the age, it was said, and con-
SerVatiVe advice was scorned.
This expression of viewpoint was In
response to charges made in last weeks
report of subcommittee of the United
States Senate Committee on Banking
ana Currency, which placed major re-
sponsibility for the 1929 debacle on
large Wall Street banks. The report
stated they had abetted the stock mar
ket crash by permitting an overgrowth
OF loans by banks to brokers for the
account of others" The report also
criticized the formation by banks of Sc
Curity affiliates.
Several leading bankers said it was
futile to attempt to pin the blame for
the crash on any one individual or
group. 1t was primarily due to the
spirit Of the day, they said, which was
one OF extreme enthusiasm for specula-
ton. They recalled that Paul M War
burg and the late George F. Baker both
strongly warned against speculative ex-
cesseS.
In further discussion of the report,
bankers stated that efforts had been
made to apply the brakes to the rapidly
moving vehicle of national speculation.
The Federal Reserve Board, in Febru-
ary, 1929, they said, had made such an
attempt. The board, it was recalled,
was roundly scored for seeking to de
stroy prosperity" Some economists and
fnanciers, including Warburg, issued
public warnings early the same year, but
they, too, were ignored, it was recalled.
Efforts also were made they said, to
arrest the growth of loans for the &C
count of Others" The New York Clear
ing House first made special charge
against such loans, later raised the
minimum amount that it would accom-
modate to 100000 and this year ac-
tCally abolished the practice of placing
such loans.
A few bankers agreed that the crea-
tion by banks of security affiliates was
a contributory cause. Several, however,
insisted that this was sound practice
and should not be disturbed

DECEMBER HARDWARE
SALES SHOW INCREASE
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special DlSpaCcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, December 3O.-Reports
from the Nations leading hardware
markets indicate fairly satisfa ctory
sales volume during December, Hard
ware Age will say tomorrow in its week
ly market summary. In sevcral cen
terS tie quantity of holiday merchqn-
disc sold exceeded the volume of a
year ego, although price depreciation
caused slight declines to be reflected
in dollar sales.
The customary poSt-holiday lull has
retarded the current demand for STAPLE
goods, while mild weather continues to
restrict activity in Winter merchon-
disc. Most retailers and wholesalers
are busy with the formalitv of inven-
tor.Hs. which are expected to reveal
stocks in good condition at sub-nor-
mally low levels. Many jobHe"s ere

ing MADE for TIE active solicitation,
during January. of dealer orders for
Spring requirements. Early interest in
dicates that a healthy volume of busi-
ness will be placed.
Prices in the main, are showing
somewhat f1rmer tendency, and few
downward revisions of consequence are
anticipated The higher freight rates
becoming effective, have made advances
on certain heavy hardware commodities
necessary.
The credit situation retains a rather
"Spottv" character Collections are
termed fair in some territories and are
described as slow in other districts.
Some improvement in collections is ex-
pected after the turn of the year.
