H|GH-GRADE BOND
MARKET IMPROVES
Junior Securities Freely Of
fered, However, and Show
Price Declines.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, March 80. = Unsettle-
ment in stocks, further patches of poor
earnings reports and unsatisfactory de-
velopmentS in foreign countries were
the factors responsible for wide fluc-
tuations in junior bonds today High
grade investments, however, were con-
sequently in brisker demand and ad-
vanced fractionally all around to new
tops for the movement.
The brief speculative interest evinced
In secondary investments last week
seemed at an end as prices dropped
by points and funds thus released were
thrown into the money market or
served to advance short term paper
another notch. Time money rates, with
90-day loans, quoted at 134 to 2 per
cent, were unchanged but unofficially
such loans were obtainable as low as
119 per cent. Near maturitieS of mu-
nicipal bonds and United States Treas
TRY bills and notes moved higher.
The feature of the market was the
recurrence of strength in the Austria
liam list. Premier Scullin's announce
ment that the Commonwealth of Aus
tralia would pay $3,536,766 on the New
South Wales war loan in London, on
which the state government had de-
faulted was followed by broad buying
of all Australian bonds. particularly
these OF the commonwealth and of the
state of Queensland.
Reports that New South Wales would
seek a new loan in New York were not
given credence. The premier of that
state, j. T. Lang, it was considered, had
forfeited his states chances of securing
credit here for some time to come, in
so openly catering to New York by pay
ing interest on dollar loans while indi-
eating English investors could do with
out their money. Wall Street derived
assurance that Australia would not sac
rifice her credit rating through the OPP
position of the federal government and
Of the premiers of the five other states
to Premier Lang'S reputation proposals.
The rest of the foreign list, however,
was weak. The Austro-German Tariff
Union controversy, which started a de-
cline last week, still had a depressing
effect. German Young Plan SIPS were
off nearly a point. Preparations Is,
German Central Bank IS and German
Municipals followed suit. Belgium,
French and Austrian credits sold off
slightly. Italians were well supported.
South American issues were weak all
around, following the official default of
more Peruvian bonds. Brazilian bonds
slipped despite announcement that in
terest on the Sac Paulo coffee loan Is
would be paid.
In the domestic list there were firm
bids for American Telephone SIS,

No Change in Order This Year-Hint at Relief
 for 1932 Season

Appeals from the Alaska Game Commission to the Department of Agriculture for modification of the Hoover duck edict, the final effort of Alaska to obtain relief from the drastic restrictions of that order, has met with the same re- jection that greeted requests from other sources, 1t was revealed to- day by the release of an announce ment on the subject by local head quarters of the Commission.
 Too late, is the burden of the answer of the United States Bio logical Survey Not this year, but maybe next, might be said to be the promise made.
 The Commissions announcement, issued today by E. M Goddard, As sistant Executive Officer, said:
 Tn response to an appeal of the Alaska Game Commission and the requests of the various com- munities of Alaska as presented by Delegate WickerSham, the Commls- sion has been advised that no ex- tension of the open season for the taking of migratory waterfowl will be made this year, but that should 1t become necessary to restrict the open season again next year, con- sideration will be given to the al- lignment of open season dates for Alaska to conform to the different conditions found in the Territory" " The local Chamber of Commerce this week was also in receipt of a telegram from Judge Wickersham saying he had gone directly to Sec retary Hyde and presented the matter to him. The Secretary ad- ,vised him that no extension would be made in the Territory.

IMPROVEMENTS FOUND FOR FEW,
 COUNCIL HEARS
E m pl oym ent Manager Thompson Reports A
 Given Employment

Since the establishment of the municipal employment agency last week, A men have been found jobs, either permanent or temporary, it was reported last night to the City Council by S. J. Thompson, Manager of the agency.
 Permanent jobs have been found for 18 workers and temporary work ranging from one day to two months
 for 26 more. Private citizens, MT. Thompson said, are cooperating heartily with the municipality in the effort to give work to the un- employed and working through the municipal employment office.
 However, the number of jobs filled remains for below the num- Der of idle. To date 232 persons have enrolled at the agency. Of this number 30 per cent have come to Juneau in the past few weeks. Included in the roll are also sev- eral Indians residing on Douglas Island.
 The Councils meeting last night was largely devoted to routine business. Chief of Police G. A. Getchell was authorized to add sev- eral special patrolmen to his force temporarily, dividing them between residential and business districts.
 The usual monthly bills were audited and ordered paid after having been approved by the Coun- cil.

Thursday morning, with two others from a fishing boat in the canal, search was started The three men comb ed the woods all day, firing rifl- es at intervals, but found no trace of Kibbe.

Stick 'em up! Be quick about it!
 This was the command mutterad low to Capt c. A Hayes, on the wharf above the City Float at the rear of the Warmers Machine Shop on Front Street, last night. At the same time, the Captain felt the muzzle Of a pistol presse d against the pit of his stomach Just as he was about to obey the injunction. an automobile drove on the wharf and the headlamps of the car flooded the scene with light.
 The robbers attention was dis tracted by the sudden glare, and he turned toward it. AS he did so the Captain struck out with his right fist, hitting the highwayman a staggering blow in the cheek. The captain ran and so did the rob- Der
 Reported to Police
 Capt. Hayes reported the incl dent to Chief of Police George Gctchell but could give no clear description of the thief. No. ar rests have been made.
 Capt. Hayes, who is associated with the project of salvaging the treasure ship Islander, went on the wharf of the City Float to get his boat moored there at 11:30 last night. In his left arm he was car rying several packages. His right hand was in his front trousers pocket

 T approached the rail to glance down at the gridiron myself. As I came close to the man he turned quickly and commanded me to stick up my hands. At the same time he pressed his pistol against me. Im- mediately-before I could drop my packages or take my hand from my pocket, the automobile ap- peared. It's lights disconcerted the robber. Startled, he turned his head to look at the car I struck him as hard as I could He ran and so did l. AS he hurried away I could see him rubbing the cheek I struck and there appeared to be blood on it. The large ring on my right hand may have cut him. The driv- CT of the car evidently did not mo- tice the robber or me. After mo- ment I turned back to go to the automobile, but it was being driven away.
 Only Few Seconds
 The entire affair occupied only a few seconds. I could not posi- lively identify the robber"

Excitement of R eported Gold Quartz Strike
 Increases

WHrTEHORSE, Y. T., Oct. B. Excitement increased over the new find of gold quartz on the noun tain range at the headwaters of Livingstone creek in the Big Sal mon area with the arrival here of Livingston Wernecke, general man. ager of the Treadwell Yukon silver lead mines at Mayo.
 MT. Wernecke has had charge of two planes of the company which have been distributing prospectors throughout the Yukon this season. Two of his prospectors, Fred Lund- wall and Fred Hoffman, have been in the Big Salmon area near Liv- ingston creek this season. The Treadwell planes are equiped with pontoons. and find numerous land ings in the many lakes and water courses of the region.
 The Treadwell Yukon company, which is allied to the Alaska Ju- neau through inter-c h nge of stocks and both under the Brad ley management, has some half dozen mines in the Mayo area and has been conducting an intensive prospecting campaign in the terri tory the last three seasons in quest of large body of gold bearing quartz.
 MT Wernecke was in Juneau dur ing the summer doing geological work on the Alaska Juneau ex- tensions. His conclusions in respect to the new find in the Livingstone district are awaited here with much interest.
 Ten stampeders are on the way to the new strike with hopes of stalking claims, left here in the launch Loon, which will take them up the Hootalinqua River.
