average price of corporation bonds has
declined to the lowest during 1881 Syn
dicates placing New York Central and
Pennsylvania Railroad mortgages that
are legal for savings banks have dis
solved and the price If their issues has
declined l to gig points. This is an
other confirmation of the lesson taught
by experience that at least IS per cent
of new bonds may be purchased cheaper
in a free market than at the initial
offering. Some of the difnculty which
recent loans are having Is due to the
fact that the borrowers moved too
slowly and missed their market when
it was at its best stage six weeks ago.
The weakness in group of junior
railroad mortgages IS readily explained
by the fact that the equity position
under them has been violently disturbed
by dividend changes. This, in turn,
has affected the legal status and rating
of these bonds. However, there has
not been as much adjustment in them
to changed conditions as in railroad
stocks, for IN a group of 20 dividend
payers which sold in 1929 to yield an
average of less than 4 per cent there
is today an accommodation to lower
dividends and to lower net earnings
giving these same stocks an average
Money Supplies Ample.
Commodity markets this week have
been less agitated. Progress is steadily
being made in the way Of sterilization
Money rates have been higher as they
were affected by temporary conditions
but with no indication other than that
Of a surfeit of funds for some months
to come. A growing disposition is wit
messed on the part of banks through
out the country to reduce their rates of
interest. Brokers loans are about so
per cent lower than in April, 1890 and
loans on securities of member banks
in the Federal Reserve System about
S1,000,00 10000 less than II months ago.
Compared with the high level of Octo-
Der, 1929, brokers' loans are off S5,000,-
100000. If Wall Street and the banks
Of the country had not been thoroughly
liquidated in the final three months of
1880 there would have been much more
market decline in response to all OF the
beariSh news that has come to the sur
face in the last so days.
Not the least important Of the adj
justmentS that must be made to a
changed economic and industrial situa-
ton is that having to do with interna-
tional debts. This question is reaching
a stage and an urgency that cannot be
ignored by the people of the United
States. Attention will be focused on it
by the conferences in London in June
between representatives of the British
and German governments. 1t is mat
ter in which the governor Of the Bank
of England has been doing some mis-
sionary work during his visit in Wash

STOCKS IRREGULAR

Late Bear Attack Wipes Out
Many Gains of Earlier
Trading.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial EditoP.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Bears stole
upon 9 loafing stock market from the
rear today, and gave 1t few sharp digs
in the final transactions, enlivening an
otherwise colorless session.
A fairly broad advance of a point or
two achieved in the earlier trading was
mostly lost. and several issues closed
to points lower. Trading was in ex-
tremely slim volume until the last few
minutes, and the total transactions for
the two-hour session aggregated only
600 900 shares the lowest for Saturday
since August 2, when sales fell below
100000 for the first tire since 1925.

among them National Surety, Liberty

higher, after making an extreme gain
of IL. Two-point gains in Eastman and
Case, however, were virtually Cancelled.
Shares closing off a point or so included
Westinghouse Electric. du Pont Allied

The market ended week of indie

GET ANOTHER
HARD PRACTICE

Cool weather resulted in another
hard workout by members of the
Central squad last night.
Most of the evening was spent in
blocking practice under the direc-
ton of Coach R. NJ. Armstrong. VINO
insists that good blocking is essen
tial to good football team. He
said he considered most members
of the team weak in this depart
ment and that much time will be
spent in blocking practice prior 10
the first game of the season.
The last part of last nights prac-
tice session was spent in q hard
scrimmage between the first and
second teams.
Maiden continued his good work
of the night before and made some
nice gains. If he continues his
present tactics he probably will land
good JOB as first string halfback,
according to Armstrong. Couch,
right guard, showed up well last
night and should develop into a
first class player.
Weiss, sophomore haltback, was
moved to the flrSt team IN place OF
Swink. He is fast and shifty and
is making a strong bid for a reg
ular halfpack position.
Cosby has taken Vests place as
right-end and showed speed in the
workout. Vests work with the
scrubs last night showed that Co.'S
by will have to go some to keep the
job
Other players showed to good adj
vantage and the practice was poppy
throughout, said the coach.
The field is being flooded this
weekend. Another workout will
take place tonight. with Saturday
and Monday nights workouts
scheduled to take place on the dirt
tield during the afternoon hours.

There is an outside possibility
that Squadron-Leader A. II. Orle-

may enter the contest. He did moi
fly in 1929
During the past few weeks Stain
forth has spent more time in the
air plotting the new Vickers Super
marine Rolls-Royce SOB mono
planes than any other members OF
the high-speed flight except Orle-
bar. In 1929 Stainforth was one
of the pilots selected to race for
Britain but was left out at the last
minute when his machine, the
golden Gloster VI, developed en-
CINE trouble.

ENGLISH PILOTS
SET FOR RACES
FOR AIR TROPHY

CALSHOT AIR STATION, Sept.
II. U.P - Squadron-Leader A. H.
Orlebar, captain of the British
Schneider Trophy team, will ag-
gregate about Is hours of high
speed flying time by the time the
Schneider Trophy contest starts
tomorrow.
Few pilots in the world have
done SO much flying in super speed
planes as Orlebar, yet. including
his activities in 1929 and again this
year, his total number of hours is
amazingly small. The striking IL
lustration of the British leader
shows the comparatively short fly
ing time high-speed pilots have to
acquire thorough mastery of their
machines.
Hours On Ground
Most of them spend hours study
ing their engines, and weather con-
ditions while on the ground. Black
board talks and study sessions are
never below high-speed aviators.
Every movement of the plane in
actual flight must be studied and
moments spent aloft must be util-
lied if valuable knowledge and ex-
perience are to be gained.
The routine for British pilots at
tached to the high-speed flight Is
always the same. The budding
pilot begins in an old type sea-
plane, then. moving ON to high
speed machines, he goes out first
on the Gloster Napier " biplane
proceeds to the SIS of 1927 fame
tries the golden Chester VI, and

DEMPSEY TAKES
THINGS EASY
in CONTESTS

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. Il. U.P
Jack Dempsey fought five rounds
with four opponents last night dur
ing an exhibition appearance for a
milk fund benefit here.
He appeared somewhat weary
after two days OF riding on trains
and did not knock out any of his
opponents, but demonstrated his
ability to the satisfaction of 5000
cheering fans.
Marine Ranierie, Tacoma heavy
weight, was the first man to enter
the ring with Dempsey. Ranierie
spent most of his time covering up
and retreating from Jacks half
hearted attack.
George Rickard of Vancouver, b.
c., stayed two rounds with the eX-
champion, and on several occasions
forced the fighting, even though he
took several left hooks to the body
and head in return for his efforts.
Dempsey jabbed the Vancouver
fighter with several terrific lefts
TO the mid-section and head.
Cyclone" Thompson, Yakima
heavyweight, provided the sensa-
ton of the evening when he open
ed cut over Jacks left eye.
The final fight was purely an ex-
hibit;on between Dempsey and
Wayne Pitts, another Tacoma
heavyweight. Pitts had no inten-
ton of forcing Dempsey to fight
and the mauler seemed content to
spar around the ring with his OPP
ponent during the entire round.
Dempsey doesn't know when or
where his comeback" attempt will
start, but in three months he'll be
ready for the best heavyweightS,
meeting any or all of the present
contenders, he told friends here
last night.

Boxing. where honor is as scarce
as raccoon coats in a nudiSt colony,
offers hundreds of cases where a
fighter, getting q bit the worst OF

known as the human freight car.

There are none who believe
that this is q time to GET OUT,

The only way to take advant-

The field Is not confined to roy

careful investments.
What j. one man s disastrous
loss is another mans fortune in
this day. The reason that the
crude market in the Midcontin-
ent has been shot to pieces is
the NECESSITY Of raising
money. An operator who HAD to
have $4,000 sold 100000 barrels
Of oil at 10 cents a barrel. The
company which bought this oil
win make a lot Of money, for
there are no gasoline prices in the
country based on 1O-cent crude.
With the money it has held back
from the regular dividend pay
ment, the Ohio Oil company can
double and treble the amount
several times over by picking up
bargains Of this kind.
And 80 IL goes with royalty
The average invest
Or cannot buy up 100000 barrels

age in which to keep it or no
market outlet for it, as has Ohio
