Feature of Market-Con-

BY F. II. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpaJcn 10 Inc oIaT.
NEW YORK, March 5.-The imme-
date sale today of the 500, 900 900
issue of the New York City Az per cent
bonds and the premium of nearly Il
point on the new long-term Government
3as per cent issue sufficiently testifies
to the abundance of funds seeking in
vestment in high-grade securities
This fact stimulated certain parts of
the market for corporation issues and
helped to balance the effect of the
heavinesS in convertible issues and in
various obligations representative of
industries that are showing unfavor-
able earnings.
The ability of the syndicate to place
all of the New York City bonds at a
substantial premium suggested that they
had been taken in large blocks by in
situations and for estates and that
there has also been good foreign de-
mand for them. 1t also bears out the
argument that it is better business for
New York City to offer Az per cent
bond and obtain substantial premium
on it than to sell a per cent bond
that does not bring competition into
the market and to which the public is
indifferent
1t is quite possible, in view of the sub
sequent events, that the Government
could have sold 3A per cent bond
rather than one carrying a coupon of
33s per cent.
The feature of trading again today
was the strength and activity in foreign
issues. Chief among these were the
German loans. The Young Plan SIS
touched 80 and are now midway be-
tween offering price and the low level
of last year. City of Frankfurt 615s
advanced 2 points and Berlin City Elec-
trio over a point. The German Agri-
cultural Bank IS and rs were again
strong, as were the various public util-
ity and iron and steel issues of German
corporations. Australians likewise show
ed further resiliency and were up IL
to IL points. italian Government rs
were at par. Argentine, Brazilian, Sac
Paulo and Chilean bonds were firm.
In the domestic list junior railroad
issues were affected by the reduction
in the dividend on the Rock Island and
the failure to declare a dividend on
Frisco common. It is apparent that
considerable number of bonds now legal
for savings banks in New York State
will be taken from the list this year.
Railroad convertible issues were soft
Florida East Coast SIS sold again around
2512 having lost all of the improvement
since the March interest was paid It
is understood that this was covered by
company funds and did not represent
any outside borrowing.
The amusement company convertibles
were steadier On the other hand. oil
bonds were heavier. Phillips Petroleum
5I4s dropped 212 points and Pure Oil
512s were fractionally down.
High-grade issues held their recent
gains and some of the public utility
legals, like Duquesne 41as. were at the
highest of the year. New bond issues
today included about So, 500 900 munich
pals. An issue of $4,000 600 per cent
ffve-year notes by subsidiary of the
Standard Oil Co. of California is an
immediate prospect.

Up to and including November, Penn
sylvania Power & Light showed larger
gross earnings for every month in 1880,
as compared with the same month in
1929, except for August, and then there
was a negligible falling off. In other
words, this particular public utility
maintained its record for increasing its
earnings in a year of exceptional bust
ness depression.
The company is controlled by Lehigh
Power Securities Corporation, through
ownership of all of the common stock,
and Lehigh Power Securities, in turn,
is controlled by National Power & Light,
There Is, therefore, no public interest
in the junior shares Of Pennsylvania
Power 81 Light, but the result is inter-
esting because of its bearing on the
investment value of the stock OF Ma
