BONDS ARE QUIET
IN FIRMER TREND
Prime Issues Continue to Re-
fleet Growth of Invest
ment DEMAND.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK, February 10.-After an
active opening. with prices steady, the
bond market today lapsed into . period
Of quiet trading. Prices were hrm to
fractionally higher all around. Prime
issues reflected an undiminiShed demand
from investing institutions, while junior
bonds sensitive to earnings and con-
vertibles that follow equity fluctuations
mirrored the strong advance of stocks.
With the exceptions of Australian and
Bolivian bonds, the foreign department
also evidenced firmness. Money rates
were unchanged.
The significant feature of the past
few sessions has been the failure of new
financing to come onto the market.
That there Is q tremendous amount of
bond offerings awaiting suitable condi-
ton Is common knowledge. The market
has exhibited q strong tone for several
consecutive sessions, yet the new offer
ings are withheld. Dealers blame this
hesitancy on the part of borrowers to
the still existing uncertainty as to what
Congress will do with the scheme to
cash soldiers bonus certificates. Today's
offerings amounted to less than 81, OOO,-
900.
Meanwhile new Issues still undis-
tributed are moving faster, especially
municipals. In the latter case there
has been g daily marking up of prices
since last Wednesday. Jersey City to-
day secured bid Of par plus cash
premium Of $4,000 on $4,000 900 Of 315
per cent bonds due 1892 to 1884. White
Plains, N. Y, sold $4,000 of $50
per cent bonds due serially 1884 to
1854 at 100215. These are accurate
measures Of the current market for
such bonds.
United States Government long-term
issues and other investment issues
listed on the stock exchange were firm
today. With most of the legal group
selling close to their best prices Of the
year. the demand was evidenced chiefly

Transit So, Canadian Pacific AIS, Rock

Standard Oil of New Jersey SIS.
The influence of q rising stock mar
ket was more directly felt in Junior
issues. Consolidation Coal of Maryland
IS added another point to Mondays
61zs, on which default in interest has
occurred, were az points higher. This
was attributed to the progress of re-
organization plans. Second-grade rails
had substantial gains and most of them
are selling around their highest levels
Of 1881.
Foreign dollar credits were led up-
ward by German issues. The of1cial
approval Of the participation of French
banks In q loan to the Reich provided
the stimulus. Young Plan 515s and
Reparations rs gained fractionally 10
new 1881 tops. Other Europeans were

Australian bonds dropped to 8

TO the Canberra government by Premier
Lang OF New South Wales, in which
he favored cutting of interest rates and
abandonment of the gold standard

NEW YORK, February 10.-Unhlled

poration increased 18e, 755 tons in Jan .
uary to q total Of 4.132, 351 tons Janu-

On October 81, the total untitled ton

1880, untitled orders amounted to e..
468.71O tons.
While unonicial estimates in the steel
trade had been vague, the gain Of 1884,
T55 tons was considerably larger than
had been expected by the more opti-
mistic, who looked for gains Of about
100. 900 tons. A short time ago, many
observers thought small decline might
be expected.

YOUR BABY AND NINE
MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

In addition TO learning these motions
rnuscularly, the child can learn the
words which represent the action.
pick up your Spoon"-'Dtp 1t In your
cereal'-"Lift it to your mouth"-"Dip
It in your cereal." until the child knows
exactly what you mean when you speak
any one of these phrases.
This may seem unnecessary. II Is
not. Children very often disobey be-
cause they are confused by words. They
know the acts, but there are so many
ways the mother can convey the i'm.
preston that she wants the child to eat.
It is essential that small children learn
definite words to accompany definite
acts; then they know what Is expected
of them. Different words for the same
acts can be learned later.
We also recognize that once learned
set Of motions Is started. it is easier to
complete 1t than to stop. Perhaps we
are accustomed to get the mail each
morning. Once We have started to
move with that purpose in mind, we are
unhappy until we have investigated the
mail box and secured its contents. Our
muscles yearn to go through the whole
chain Of acts.

Gated acts as washing himself. try to
do this each day in exactly the same
order. Put stopper in wash basin, turn

Is immensely valuable. It Is legitimate
attention which the mother can give
the small child without fear of en-
couraging an unhealthy desire for more

Incorrigibility.

While the older children are at school
for the day it is natural for the mother
to devote much more time TO the
smaller child. She waits on him, she
cuddles him, she devotes herself ex-
clusively to him.
Healthy attention is fine for any
child-he needs a certain amount OF 1t.
Too much attention, however, I'M
mediately develops problems. The baby,
being the center of the stage, will be-
have like an angel while the children
are in school. But when the fountain
of attention is turned off late in the
day, he becomes little demon. He
finds he has to be naughty and cross
to turn 1t on again.
There are ways in which the mother
can indulge herself, and the child, too,
without such unhappy results. During
this period, probably between two and
four years, the child is busy learning
numerous things. He Is perfecting the
art of self-feeding. He should be learn
ing to dress himself, to wash his face
and hands, comb his hair and brush his
teeth He Is improving his language,
and with mothers ear so happily
focused upon him, he can babble unre-
proved all day long.
There are so many things for him to
learn that we should make this learning
as easy as possible. This first learning
is usually in the form of muscular acts.
Take the simple act of Spooning up his
cereal. 1t requires four motions: pick
ing up the spoon, dipping it into the
cereal, lifting it to the child's mouth
and putting the spoon down again or
posing it for the next dip. 1t is help
full for the child to learn these move
ments in the same order, so that pick
ing up the spoon will lead naturally to
dipping it into the cereal, etc.

Repairs for Winter.

At this time of the year, when we
have been accustomed to living out

to think great deal about the subject
of keeping in condition" But we
should reserve O thought or two for
our homes. Soon we shall be return
ing to them and not a few Of US will

shall find them.
Keeping ones home in condition Is
sure way to save money. as well as
sure way to avoid loss, inconvenience,
discomfort and even disaster.
Do you know whether the plumbing
of your home Is in condition? Repairs
are now simple to effect. Later in the

have an inspection made of the pipes

powder the fur thickly With cornmeal,
let it stay in day and then shake 1t
out thoroughly.
When it comes to using the fur for
trimming bands. lay the pieces fur side
down on table. Mark the design you
wish. It may be bauds; it may be some
shaped piece. Cut through the skin OF
the fur with a sharp knife, not cutting
through the hairs any more than you
have to. Sometimes you can bind the
edges Of the skin with tape and then
fasten the fur to the dress by means
of the tape. Sometimes you can just
tack the edges of the skin direct to the
dress.
It Is better to sew fur on with coarse
cotton the color of the skin than with
silk, and the coarser you can use 1t
without showing the stitches the better,
for the coarse cotton seems to have less
tendency to cut through the skin than
does fine silk.
Also, 1t holds securely.
