advantage of these factors
Among the lines of merchandise that
follows local habits is canned fish

SPECULATIVE BOND
GROUP IS Strong
Market Displays Somewhat
Irregular Tone-Treasury
Issues Move Higher.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. May 2.-The effort of
those operating in the bond market
today was to determine what issues
we're most affected by imitation, either
for a rise or for a decline. To Judge
this in the confusion of opinion re-
ou:res a vision that few possess. While
there have been substantial profits
made in the purchase of speculative
bonds, there have also been losses by
those who have gone short of high
grade issues on the theory that infia
ton would cause them to react sub
stantially.
There were many movements to-
day that involved sharp price f1uctua-
tionS, in both the domestic and foreign
lists. AS rule speculative bonds were
strong. Though there was some heavi-
ness in issues of the better grades. the
movements in them were not at all
uniform. In the early operations the
bonds of countries that are still on the
gold basis reacted from Mondays re-
markable rise and United States Treas
ury loans were higher.
Among the strongest of the rail bonds
we're Chesapeake Corporation S. up
lie points and Is points above their
low OF the year; Baltimore g. Ohio IS,
which also gained p points and have
recovered nearly 20 points; Illinois Cen
trail SIS. up 81 points: and Pennsyl-
vania 4l2s, which rose to II from 68i2
Missouri Pacific SIS were off to joints
on the default in the May coupon. New
York Central Is declined points and
Chicago Great Western As point.
Atchison General IS dropped a point.
as did Union Pacific 4.s and Southern
Pacific i2S Fractional gains occurred
in Chicago g. Northwestern. ST Paul.
Great Northern and Southern Railway
issues
With the exception of Western Union
IS. which rose 2 TO point. the specu-
latve communication bonds were reac-
tlonary. Interborough Rapid Transit
Ss lost fraction. Columbia Gas &
Electric IS rose a point and North
American Edison IS were slightly higher.
Consolidated Gas of New York SIS and
American Telephone g. Telegraph 5las
were both strong
German government bonds had a
sharp reaction. which was shared by
other German loans French govern
ment and city dollar issues reacted
from ! 10 zig points on profit taking
following the premiums yesterday of
from 20 to nearly "a points over par
on these loans. which brings their net
income down TO nominal basis. Aus
trallan loans and some of the Belgians
and Scandinavian issues were lower.
Dutch and Swiss bonds. however, con-
tinued strong. They have not become
unreasonably high like those of France.
The United States Government mar
ket was about a point higher but ex-
tremely inactive A discussion of pay
ments in gold had little effect on them.
1t is understood that accumulation of
the discount issues for the account of
the Federal Reserve Bank is still under

RB.SHARES SAG

Public Utilities Steady, With
Some SpeciaIties Show

BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, May 2.-The Curb Ex-
change slipped off after its rally in the
first hour today, which followed the
lower but active opening.
Public Utilities, however, were fairly

Overnight news for the most part
was constructive. The Capper conser-
vation bill, which would compel ma
tional curtailment Of oil production.
was hailed as the one way out OF the
present difficult petroleum situation.
This news, however, was offset by the
omission of the Socony- Vacuum divi-
dend and further rise in daily crude
output
The Dominion group of Standard Oil
companies, however, moved contrary to
the general doWntrend during the first
several hours, as buying from over the
border continued London cables re-
ported that British interests had ac-
cumulated block of Woolworth, Ltd,

CORPORATION CASH
POSITIONS Strong
Companies Have Guarded
Assets Closely During Pc :
riod of Depression.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 2.-Analysis OF
corporation management policies. dig.
ging into operations for the past year OF
leading companies. have been impressed
by the fact that, while net prof1ts
siumped sharply. cash positions gener-
ally were maintained at a relatively
high level.
The reason for this, it is said. ap-
parently is that in an effort to combat
the severest depression In the history
of the country. greater attention has
been paid to the problem Of conserving
resources. not only through the drastic
pairing Of expenses. but by the reduc-
tion or elimination of dividends and
pairing of fixed charges.
Results of Survey.
A survey by the Standard Statistics
Co. of 399 leading American industrial
corporations discloses that profits for
1882 totaled only some $1460O0, 900
crease of 8l.l per cent, whereas. at the
end of the past year. these companies
had cash and equivalent on hand
amounting to around $2,629, 900 900 COM
pared with $2,716,000,000 at the con-
c!usion of the previous year.
"As a result Of the demonstrated abil-
ity of individual corporations to main
tain or strengthen their financial posi-
tions under the conditions prevailing
last year." states the Statistics Co., "the
unfavorable earnings results lose much
of their significance in the appraisal OF
operating results achieved during the
period. Balance sheet positions at the
end OF 1882 comprise more accurate
yardstick for appraising prospective fu-
ture security values and for judging the
potentialities of individual industries in
the coming period OF business re-
covery"
In a survey of So subdivisions OF in
dustry. 1t was found that "a groups in
creased their holdings of cash and
equivalent during the year. OF the 399
reporting companies, approximately $50
reported gains in cash holdings. There
was an aggregate decline of 1l.6 pei
cent In net working capital of the cor
porations surveyed. but this was conSld-
cred moderate in view CT the greatly re-
stricted earnings of 1892 and the reduc-
tions on both sides OF the balance
sheet.
Working Capital Improved.

following statement here yeste",

ave who still support prohibit
ton are not unaware of prohibl-
tons many failures and their sim
lister implications. We. too, be-
lieve that the truest prohibition is
the self-control that comes from
within the Individual.
"But we also believe that free
dom and self-control find their re-
enforcement in the environment
of the community and the sane
tions of society.
81 am opposed to traffic in
liquor for the same fundamental
reason that am for abolition OF
child labor. night work for wom-
en-, the long work week, low
wages, war, and many other forms
of human exploitation that tear
down and destroy the bodies and
personalities of human beings"

RALEIGH, Oct. %. - While
nearly 100000 ballots are be-
ing prepared for use in North
Carolina when the state votes No
vember 7 on the repeal of the
18th Amendment, attention is be-
ing called to three important facts
connected with the approaching
election. These are:
There will be only one registra-
ton day, to qualify to vote on the
repeal issue, and this will be Sat-
urday, October %.
No absentee votes will be cast.
In order to register in new
precinct, voter must first appear
before the registrar of his old pre-
cinct and obtain a certificate OF
removal and present it to the reg
istrar of the precinct in which he
expects to vote. This ruling does
not apply to voters who have re-
moved from one county into an
other.
Although absentee voting is le-
gal in the regular general cleo
lions of the state, it is specifically
set forth in the law providing for
| the vote on the general" election

on the 21st Amendment that it
shall not be used on that occasion.
"No vote shall be cast or count
ed except such votes as are cast
hy electors who represent them
selves in person and cast their
ballots at the polling place, in the
precinct of which they are elec-
tors" reads the law governing the
November election. ANY person
who is physically unable to enter

ing such booth and in marking ms

otherwise the qualifications OF
the voters are generally the same
as in other elections.
It is believed here that less than
100000 people will vote in the
November 7 election. AS each OF
these may cast ballot on holding
the convention, and a second bal
lot choosing a delegate to TINS
convention, it is estimated fhat
approximately 1000, 900 DalloIs

Green Reveals Figures on
Unemployment Past
Six Months

WASHINGTON, Oct. % (UP).
Americas army Of unemployed
has been reduced by 100000 in
the last six months. President
William Green of the American
Federation of Labor said last
night.
His statement came as the gov
eminent announced hat allOtments
from the $3,300,000,000 public
works fund already amounted to
$2,049, 7G7,06S and that thou
sands Of new Jobs would be avail
able soon through this eXpendi-
trrc of funds.
Green said 100000 workers
had been returned to their jobs
during the months of August and
September and added that the
gain in September was the larg-
est for any month since the adj
miniStration began its attock on
unemployment,
He cautioned, however. that
the work week must be shortened
to absorb a sizeable portion of
the 100000 unemployed fac
ing another winter of idleness.
Green listed a table showing
the decrease in unemployment
each month since President
Roosevelt took office in March.
1t follows:
April $4,000; May 100000;
June $4,000: July 411,000;
August S33 and September S7l,-
600.
In answer to criticism that the
failure of the public works ad-
ministration to keep pace with
the NRA and the AAA was
threatening the success of the
recovery program, it was an
nounc last night that allotments
have been made at the rate of
Sf36, G5l 1879 a week for the past
IS weeks.
The public works administra-
ton said Hundreds of thousands
of men. most of whom have been
idle for months already have
found employment on PWA prof.
ects." The exact number re-em-
plOyed will be determined by a
now being made, it was
said.
