I was the dealer and bid two clubs

Lost First Rubber.
After this good start our opponents
scored two games in success on, so we
lost the first rubber after all.
The Culbertsons scored the first game
of the second rubber, and then we
obtained a good opening on the fol-
lowing hand:

I was dealer and passed, and after

partner doubled informatorily. West
passed during the entire auction.
1 bid my best suit-one heart-and
Liggett raised me to two hearts. When
I bid two no trump he went to three
hearts, and I ended the bidding with
three no trump, making four. When
nv partners hand went down as dunn
my I was sorry that l had not left
his informatory double in as this
would have given us much larger
profit than the game. Mrs. Culbert-
son could not have made more than
four tricks, if that and we would have
set the contract for at least 1000
points.
Cut Opponents Lead.
After winning the second rubber and
two more, we had reduced the lead to
14715 points, but the next rubber cost
us l ITO points because of vulnerable
slam bid by Mrs. Culbertson. This
slam was slightly overbid by her and
her partner, but was made because OF
two lucky breaks
l was somewhat surprised at Ely's
bidding of the following hand, as he
took rather long chance, considering
both sides were vulnerable:

NEW YORK, october 2.-Mayor
James j. Walker may have 1877 shirts
and enough ties to reach to the moon.
but the records of the board of taxes
and assessments yesterday disclosed he
never has been included among those
possessing enough personal property
to require him to pay personal tax.
Personal property when it comes to
taxation, includes clothing. jeWelry,
water craft. automobiles, books, works
of art. household goods, and even
cigarette holders.
Every one with personal property
valued at more than $1,000 is required
TO pay a tax.
John F. Curry, leader of Tammany
Hall, is with the mayor in the list of
those who have never been taxed for
personal property. Former Gov. Alfred
E. Smith paid taxes until 1928, but for
three years he has paid no personal tax.

CIGARETTE PRICE RISE
is EXPECTED SHORTLY

opeS4ei OlSpatCn TO Inc Star.
NEW YORK, April "A move for
higher retail prices on the leading
brands OF cigarettes may follow the es-
Enlistment next Saturday of higher
prices for cigars, which was announced
last week by large retail tobacco
chains, an officer of the United Cigar
Stores Co. revealed.
Dissatisfaction with the present profit
margins on cigarettes has led to gen
eral agitation among retailers and Job
bers for higher price schedules. In a
letter printed In the United States To-
bacco Journal, Robert W. Jameson.
flrst vice president Of the United Cigar
stores Co, declared that effort to
bring order out of the chaos that exists
In retail cigar cigarette and tobacco
prices Is entitled to the support of all
right thinking merchants"
About q year and a half ago." Mr..
Jameson said, "the United Cigar Stores
made q sincere effort to produce for
our stockholders profit in our BUSH
ness that would represent q reasonable
return on their invested capital, and
Tor a period of so days we stood alone
IN our efforts to sell cigars, cigarettes
and tobaccos at prices that represented
reasonable allowance over cost.
Dtsregarding our experience, we feel
that the trade in general would follow
leader making an advance in prices,
and that We are observing the situation
very closely, believing that the move
ment is not only constructive but really
necessary to the best interests of the
retailer, jobber and manufacturer"
Retailers declare that the present
margin is inadequate, and the estab-
iShment of price scale of IS cents
pack and two packs for 81 cents has
been suggested Under the present
scale the profit for the retailer is about
2 per cent. The merchants feel that a
profit of or 10 per cent would be
justified.
II the retail price of cigarettes Is adj
vanced, jobbers would BE- able to raise
the wholesale price. so that the profit
of all distributors would be increased.
The United Cigar Stores Co. and the
Schultz Retail Stores Corporation will
increase the price of cigars at the end
of this week. United Cigar Stores will
establish price of six cigars for IS
cents on scent cigars, which are sold
at present as low as five for 18 cents,
an of11cer Of the company declared.

|BOND VALUES SAG
IN QUIET MARKET
Money Market Tightens at
Prospects of New Treas
ury Financing.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April Bond trading
today was dull and prices had sag
cling tendency. The weakness was due
more to indifference than to any new
factor. New bond offerings were only
about $11 100000. Wednesdays heavy
selling of United States Government
bonds had Subslded 10 great de-
gree.
New issues in course of preparation,
while weighty are not likely to come
in large amounts in the immediate flu
ture owing to the imminence OF an
ether heavy piece Of Treasury short
term financing as a result of the SOL
dires' bonus loans. This latter fac
tor, of course, resulted in some funds
being held for investment in the Gov
eminent paper. This time, it was re-
ported. the Treasury would resort to
the sale of certificates. probably to the
amount of $150,000,o00 or $200, 000, 900.
There was a Tightening in the money
market, with 90-day loans firm at IN
to per cent.
New issues in prospect include $40,-
600 900 of National Steel bonds and
an issue by Newton Steel.
In the domestic list even the demand
for high-grade securities had subsidized.
American Telephone 5Ias were off a
changed. Great Northern rs lost frac-
tionally. There was firmness, however,
in Columbia Gas & Electric SIS. Illinois
Central 4%s, New England Telephone
4E2s, National Dairy 5As, New York
Telephone AVS, Northern Pacific Cen
eral IS, Pennsylvania 4As, and Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey SIS.
One of the individual features was
the further gain of over 3 points in
Pathe Exchange rs, which touched
levels over "a points above their low Of
January 3. Other amusement company
obligations, however, were weak, includ-
ing Warner Brothers Pictures IS, Para
mount-Publix 512s and Famous Players
IS.
A few of the junior rails, which have
had a declining trend for over a week,
had small recoveries. Among them were
Chicago Great Western As, Information
