BOND
ISSUES IN DEMAND
Dealer Buying in Second
Grade List Noted at
Short Session.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 24-With the
domestic bonds average today at the
highest of the year, there was no evil
dence OF a let-up in demand for first
grade issues. A continuation of the
dealer buying in second-grade rails and
public utilities also occurred.
Union Pacific first is finally touched
par. A new high record was made early
in the session in United States Liberty
312s, with the fourth Liberty 414s du-
plicattng their best levels. Bell Tele-
phone OF Pennsylvania SIS, a legal pub
lie utility with narrow market, ad-
VaRced points. 1t was quite signifi-
can't that the Inland Steel financing
with Az per cent bond at S61a was
effected at price ~ points higher
than for similar issue in the Spring
boom IN bonds in 1923. The old issue
was selling around SO prior to today'S
offering.
Convertible issues held steady and
were moderately active. Among the
most prominent were Allegheny Cor
poration SIS, American International
512s, Warner Bros. Pictures IS, Inter-
national Telephone 4l2s and Texas Cor
poration SIS. Kreuger g. Toll SIS, which
recently sold off sharply, were up nearly
a point after advancing that amount
on Friday
In the foreign list German, Argen-
tine, Brazilian. Italian and loans of
several of the small countries in South
eastern Europe were strong. Brazil
ians were steadied by announcement
that a credit OF E6,500,O0O had been
arranged in London.
The outlook is for an increase next
week in municipal loans. Those now
slated aggregate about $4,000, 900.
With the market having a limited sup
ply OF such issues and prices for all
tax-exempt bonds back to approximately
their best level of last year, bids on
these new loans will undoubtedly be
high. The City of Rochester, N. Y,
has just sold an issue of notes ma
turing on March IS and on August 81
on basis of 1874 per cent for the
former and 1874 per cent for the latter,
representing the top figure so far scored
for an issue of this character.

DETROIT, February 26.-Radio was
given new job, transmitting messages
to be recorded on distant receiving sets,
by an invention demonstrated success
fully here yesterday.
Glen w. Watson, the inventor, said
the possibilities of his machine, which
he has named the Watsongraph, were
no more than touched upon in the
demonstration.
1t also can be used, he said to re-
produce simultaneously in theaters
without number words and actions of
a theatrical performance presented in
a properly equipped broadcast room.
Among other uses suggested are
transmission of messages to ships at
sea or airplanes in the air; direction
of police squads by code messages of
which a record may be kept, and trans
missions of news stories from the type
writer's of reporters to newsrooras or di-
rectly into homes.
The sending machine with which the
inventor demonstrated the possibility
of these developments might be a type
writer with a revolving disc attached.
Watson typed out messages on the key
board. A receiving set in a distant
room recorded them instantaneously.
The receiving set has a similar disc
and Watson explained the secret lies
in Synchronization of those discs. Each
disc contains letters of the alphabet
as each key is depressed. he explained
the impulse of that letter is sent into
the air, to impinge on the same letter
or key of the receiving set. Static
cannot interfere he said, nor can other

PRESERVES in the hands Of the bis
companies Is un-American and
un-dem0cratie. AS you know
the oil reserve from shaie alone
In our four western states could
supply the world for several hun
dred years, and within a radius
Of one hundred miles Of the Black
Hills Of South Dakota there is
enough coal that could be dis
titled into motor fuel which
would also last the United States
for several hundred years. and
long after our motor fuel re-
sources have even shown any per-
ceptible decline power win very
likely be taken from the sun and
transmitted to motor vehicles By
radio.
Your stand on the tariff Is abb
solutely against al independent
operators. because il imported
oil would be excluded and the
ten million barrels be prorated
down to three million barrels all
independents would get their just
and equal share. and under the
present plan where four major
interests are now importing in
the neighborhood OF one hundred
million barrels without duty. this
is Imposing an unjust burden on
ali Independent operators. The
fact is. that If the. independent
operators are put out Of business
and the large oil companies DOM
mate the situation, the price Of
gasoline to the consumer will
be materially affected as shown
in ali foreign countries where no
competition is in evidence and
the consumer is paying from
Thirty-five to Sixty Cents per
gallon for gasoline.
I'VE wish to vigorously protest
your action in this matter as our
public officials should certainly
adopt policy Of live and let live.
and we people IN this western
country greatly resent the attitude
taken BY our Republican adminis-
tratiOn which we have worked SO
hard to elect.
Yours very truly.

unjustified except that IT will

that your attitude towards this
conservation was prompted BY
the situation in KettIeman Kills

fact that the Standard OF Cali

entirely for their benefit.
