CONVERTIBLE BOND
LIST TURNS WEAK
Foreign Issues Strong or

Group Higher.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Great
strength today in foreign issues, espe-
cially those of Germany, Italy and Aus
tralia, contrasted with weakness in
American corporation bonds of the con-
vertible type or those influenced by
dividend reductions in stocks.
In spite of the heaviness of the stock
market. the better grade of American
issues held steady, with few making
advances The activity, however, was
chiefly in the foreign department and
In speculative obligations.
Rumors of loan to Italy encouraged
buying of all of the italian obligations
The Government rs touched par for the
hrst time in months. They have been
as low as 92A this year. City of Rome
and City OF Milan 613s were II to q
higher. There was also a better mar
ket in Italian public utility issues.
In the German group the Young Loan
5Kas sold at the best price on their re-
covery, approaching GO. The largest
gains, however, were in the Berlin City
utilities, which advanced to IL
points, and in some of the German
municipals. The German Mortgage
Bank IS held their recent advances.
Gains OF l to 21a points occurred in
australian and New South Wales issues.
1here were also broad markets in jap

IN the dividend on Rock Island stock,
The amusement bonds made a sorry
showing, with Warner Bros. Pictures Is
and General Theaters Equipment IS off
3A to 312 points. International TeIe-
phone 41as declined a point and the
various oil producing company bonds
were lower in sympathy with the recent
additions to the list of oil stocks that
have passed their dividends.
New, high prices for the movement
were made in National Dairy Products
5Hs and Dodge IS. International Match
5s were also fractionally higher.
The statement Of the Hudson Coal
Co. is interesting in view of the fact
that last year, when the bonds sold at
about SO cents on dollar, the company
earned, after all charges and deprecia-
ticn, 81, 166.929, against a deficit in 1927
of $376,661, the year that these bonds
were brought out at 9812. The present
price of these bonds does not reflect
earnings, but change in the fashions
in investments.
United States Government bonds were
steady. The new 33s per cent long
term loan was quoted at a premium.
1t Is expected that all three Treasury
issues will be much oversubscribed.
Trading in tax-eXempt issues in the
forenoon was restrained by the ap-
preaching New York City loan, with the
syndicate bids and the subsequent offer
ing price likely to be measure for
other loans for some time to come,

RETAIL STORES PROFIT
IN EGGS FOUND STEADY

BY the Associated Press.
Eggs, when properly handled, are
among the most uniformly profitable
commodities carried by retail grocery
stores
This has been determined by the De-
partment OF Commerce IN survey con-
Quoted in 20 representative grocery
establishments in Louisville, KY. Eggs
paid their way and returned a profit IN
every one of the establishments, the
survey indicates.
An average profit Of little better
than 5 cents was rung up on each sale
of eggs made in the rs stores, the sur
vey shows. The study points out 1t
was conducted during the Winter and
early Spring months when prices were
probably somewhat above the average
for the year, and 1t is not certain just
how this would affect the profit showing
for the entire year. On the other
hand, since it seemed customary for
the grocer to mark UP eggs so many
cents per dozen instead of a percent
age of cost, the indications were that
gross profit and consequently net re-
turn might be fayorabiy affected by
lower prices and larger sales Of eggs,
rather than the reverse.
