CURB SHARES GAIN
IN ACTIVE TRADING
Better Trade News Reflected
in Numerous Stock
Advances.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 9.-Under the
stimulus of series Of favorable over
night news developments, the Curb Ex-
change turned strong and active today.
Electric Bond g. Share resumed some
Of its old-time leadership as it ad-
vanced more than point. Cities Serv-
ice. however, continued quiet and heavy.
Standard Oil of Indiana firmed up.
The opening gong was greeted with
series of constructive news items.
Bank clearings here showed the first
gain in 81 months.
Commercial failures during the week
declined. The official announcement
Of an easing of the local mortgage sit
uation was encouraging. Reports of
January sales fully justified the state
ments made here early last month at
the Automobile Show.
The oil trade took cognizance Of the
less favorable showing In gasoline and
crude oil statistics and promises to
correct this situation. Most of the divi-
dend actions were favorable and earn
ings reports were not as small as antici-
pated. Along with these items, perhaps
engendered by them, were the private
utternaceS OF business and financial
leaders that the new administration
in Washington would find many quar-
ters ready to cooperate with its aims.
The rise in grains betterei Deere &
Co., but Quaker Oats common on its
first sale of the year was down sew
eral points. The preferred stock rose
a point. Montgomery Ward A, how
ever, reflected the improvement in agri-
cultural products The coal shares
ignored the cold snap. Aluminium Co.

upward path pointed by Electric Bond

Gas & Electric preferred, Duke Power
and Pennsylvania Water & Power. Then
the preliminary report Of American Gas
d Electric came out. Showing net of
$2.31 a share on the common against
1854 share in 1881, the income state
ment stimulated buying of American
Gas & Electric. This movement was
still under way when bidding began in

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February s.-Pronounced
strength In the highest grade of cor
porate bonds Is characteristic of q de-
preston once it has passed the panic
stage. It is feature of the market
just now. when the best Of public utility
obligations and few of the highest
ranking railroad issues are selling to
yield less than 4 per cent.
Money accumulates at such times
and, in an endeavor to find employ
ment with minimum Of risk, turns to
Just such bonds. OF course, IL takes
refuge also in the obligations of the
Government, but there are certain dis
advantages to Government bonds under
present conditions. The major one Is
the doubt about new financing. With
the budget unbalanced and expendi-
lures for relief and reconstruction
growing by leaps and bounds and the
market for short-term issues nearing
the saturation point, It needs no
prophet to predict an addition to the
supply In the near future, which, con-
ceivably, the Government bond market
may have difficulty in absorbing.
The "oversubscription" to Govern
nent offerings Is no measure OF the
ability of the market to assimilate
long-term bond issues. The situation
will not be cleared up until some such
long-term offering has been success
fully placed with the public instead OF
with the banks. Until that>time, for
the purpose under discussion, the cor
porate bond has the advantage, pro-
vidtng, Of course, there is no doubt
about its security. Bonds that qualify
are in demand, regardless Of the yield.

JUNIOR RAIL BOND
MARKET IMPROVES
Missouri Pacific Issues Take
Lead on Reports of
Financing Plans.
BY CHARLES f. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 9.-The
strongest market in junior railroad
bonds that has developed in some time
was created today out Of the report
that consideration was being given TO
q recasting Of the Missouri Pacific
financial structure in way that would
avoid the difficulties that have obvious
ly been facing that system for some
time. There was broad market for
this group of securities, with gains
ranging from u to 2 points.
Strong bidding appeared for the Mis-
scuri Pacific refunding IS. These ad
vanced ~ points. The As were also
strong. There are approximately $110,-
100000 of Missouri Pacific bonds now
selling at an average Of around 10, and
with a very weak position II these.
through voluntary agreement, could be
reduced to the status of an income
bond, the saving effected would be the
difference between fairly easy position
for the Missouri Pacific in normal times
and one in which it will always have
difficulty in earning much over its fixed
charges.
The response of bonds of roads SINH
larly situated was substantial These
included the Baltimore g. Ohio, Chi
csgo & Northwestern, Rock Island, AL
leghany Corporation, Chesapeake Cor
poration SIS and Erie issues, with ad-
vances of / to 2 points in another and
higher quality group such as Great
Northern rs, Louisville & Nashville AVS,
New York Central Az, Southern Pa
cific 415s and Illinois Central ANS.
The market broadened to include in
dustrial bonds. International Merchan-
tile IS were up points. Loew's IS rose
1h points. National Dairy Products
51as gained over point, as did Stude-
baker 6s and u. S. Rubber SIS. In the
lower grade of public utilities improve
ment was shown in American &
Foreign Power and Postal Telegraph IS.
There was again halting tendency
among the higher grade rails and public
utilities. The dealer attitude toward
them is that they have advanced to q
point where they are not so eagerly
sought as was the case a few weeks
ago, with the present preference for the
second grade issues for investment and
an inclination to speculate In the
cheaper run Of mortgages.
As q group the German bonds were
heavy. The Government SIS had an
early loss of point which was re-
dected in other German dollar obliga-
tons. United Kingdom 51as sold above
JOG, while Canadian government loans
and Canadian railway bonds were
heavy. Argentine 6s recovered a point.
Following Wednesdays decline in
United States Treasury loans there was
an improvement today all through the
list ranging from 1s to "a.

CHICAGO, February s.-Much en-
larged general buying lifted wheat
prices quickly early today. Severe cold
added to trade apprehension Of dam
age to domestic Winter wheat over un-
protected wide areas. Gables reported
better demand at Liverpool.
Opening M up wheat afterward
rose further. Corn started at A-as
advance and continued to gain.
After cent bushel jump, wheat
buying slackened, and the market re-
acted somewhat. At the top Of the
bulge, prices showed more than 8 cents
gain compared with last weeks low. An
undertone of strength prevaded deal
ings, however, Influenced by talk that
signs pointed to little prospect Of
weather moderation.
Comprehensive reports indicated like
Hhcod that big damage to wheat was
increased by absence of moisture. VIM
nipeg advices told Of fairly good sized
export buying with standing orders for
more at about last nights close. An op-
posite factor, though, was expectation
OF large Argentine shipments this week,
about 100000 bushels more than last
week. Corn and oats were responsive
to wheat strength, and to scantiness of
arrivals Of corn.
Provisions held about steady, despite
dowrturns OF hog values.
