FOREIGN BOND LIST
CONTINUES STRONG
Domestic Issues Turn Irreg-
uIar on Bonus and Earn
ings Reports.
BY. F. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 27.-Foreign
dollar bonds continued their advance
today, but the general list in the invest
ment market was thrown into an ir-
regular trsnd owing to two factors. One
was the passing OF the soldiers bonus
bill by the House over the Presidents
veto, and the other was large batch OF
January earnings reports.
Ogden L. Mills assertion that the
Treasury would have to borrow $400,-
1000 additional in March to meet the
provisions of the bonus bill was con-
strued in most quarters as bulliSh. AS
a result, United States Government
long-term bonds, which have recently
been weak, were strong, with gains OF
1872 to 1892 The market had antici-
pated a much larger addition to the
March Government financing.
AS to the January earnings, though
they showed a decline in carrier net in
comes of 5 to 35 per cent, apparently
some believed that now that the worst
news was out, rail bonds should be
bought. At any rate, junior carrier OBJ
legations that ordinarily are sensitive to
earnings wsre strong. Gains of point
or more were made by Atchison con-
vertible AIS, Erie general lien 4s, Flori-
da East Coast SIS, International Great
Northern first IS, Frisco A As and Loui-
siana 81 Arkansas SIS.
In the rest of the domestic list a
considerable degree of irregularity pre-
vailed Prime bonds for the most part
tended higher, with small gains In
American Telephone SIS, Atchison gen.
eral As, Canadian National SIS and AIS,
Chicago g. Alton IS, Chesapeake Cor
poration SIS, National Dairy Products
514s, New Haven AIS, New York Tele-
phone IS, North American Edison SIS
Southern Pacific collateral As, Standard
Oil of New Jersey SIS, Western Union SIS
and Youngstown Sheet & Tube SIS.
Junior issues were subject to wide
moves, according to whether earnings
we're considered up to expectations OF
not. Anglo Chilean Nitrate rs gained
az points to new top for 1881. Chi
cago Railways SIS, virtually a traction
bond, rose fractionaIly. Commercial
Investment Trust 51as we're a shade
higher. General Theaters Equipment IS
sold down with the stock. Goodrich
IS we're off fractionally. Hudson Coal
SIS, Hudson g. Manhattan refunding SIS
and Interbcrough Is were higher Issues
of oil companies, which showed de-
creased earnings, moved lower.

however, is, according to the statement,
covered twice over.
1t should be noted that coming ahead
of the holding company's charges are
interest on subsidiary bonds and divi-
dends on subsidiary preferred stocks
The consolidated balance sheet shows,
as of September 80, that the subsidiary
funded debt was $153,29l, 800, against

gives of its ability TO maintain earning

PLEA FOR ECLUSION
OF SOVIET GOODS MADE
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Henry D. Baker, former commercial
attache for the government in Russia,
says Soviet labor is the cheapest in the
world, and that unemployment will in
crease and prices decline in this coun-
try unless Russian goods are excluded.
He adds that coal mined in Russia
by cheap labor is "displacing Pennsyl-
vania anthracite" and that the Soviet
is dumping its products in this country
for the purpose of "wrecking the coal,
manganese. oil and steel industries" On
the basis of vital public policy the
United States should exclude Russian
goods" he says, adding that Russia
"confscated and stole" the mines and
other industries which it is now oper-
attng for the purpose of destroying the
economic and capitalistic system Of the
world.

WESTERN MARYLAND RWY,

BALTIMORE, February 81 Especially
Although gross revenues of the West
ern Maryland Railway Co. in January
were considerably lower than those OF
the corresponding month a year ago
net income Appropriated the same fig
ure. This was due largely to a sharp
reduction in operating expenses.
Operating revenues for the month
amounted to ST. 5,318, compared with
81 ,526, 1927 in the same month a year
ago, a drop of $197,609 Operating ex-
penses totaled only $685., 432, against
81, 035,58 year ago. Operating ratio
for the month was 6097 per cent, COM
pared with 66.13 per cent in January
1880.
The large savings resulted in a net
income of $185,211, compared with
$l87,107 in January, 1880, or a decline
of only 81 1896.

all bankers and his talk aroused a re-
sponsive chord among the delegates.
So convincing were his remarks that
they brought forth extended comment
from the floor. The conference was
requested to take action, placing the
gathering on record as favoring the
payment Of no more than per cent on
savings accounts and no interest on
checking accounts.
Chairman Fleming called for a rising
vote. The resolution was passed al
though there was considerable oppoSi-
ton to it when the mos" stood up.
The resolution merely expressed the
feeling on the part of the majority of
the delegates at the conference. It Is
not obligatory on any bank that may
be paying higher interest on savings
and interest on checking accounts to
make any change in its present policy.
The final address at the evening ses-
sion was made by c. w. Hoyt, auditor,
New York State National Bank, at Al
