BONDS IRREGULAR
IN QUIET MARKET
Many Issues Continue to Dis
play Strength, but Profit :
Taking Appears.
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January e.-There was
not quite so much snap to the pcno
market during portions OF todays ses-
sion as was shown at the END OF last
week. However, strength continued In
numerous issues along with profit taking
in others. with a transfer of activity
into different groups of domestic and
foreign securities that for some time
had been dormant.
The feature of the industrial list was
the sudden rise of S points in United
Drug per cent debentures. This was
accomplished on moderate transactions
and recovered the net loss OF last week,
when this issue dropped from Do 10 oo
after having had STEADY advance
from AZ. United States Rubber 3s rose
over a point, National Dairy PRODUCTS
5As were strong and Dodge Brothers
ss duplicated their previous high for
this year and last a. 80.
In the public utility list there was
further accumulation OF the second
grade and speculative issues at traction
ally higher prices. The top grade bonds
of the power and light operating COM
panies maintained the price average
quoted last Friday.
There were numerous good gains in
the railroad list Great Northern 5l2s
rose points, Northern Pacific IS were
up a point, Chesapeake g. Ohio 4las
gained points and Southern Pacific
AIS, New York Central 4l2s, Chicago 4
Northwestern 4%s, Baltimore Ohio
refunding IS and Missouri Pacific gen.
eral As gained anywhere from "A to
point
Among foreign dollar bonds there
was considerable speculative buying IN
the defaulted South American issues.
OF these, Chilean and Brazilian obllga-
tions were most in demand. Chilean
Government 6s rose nearly a point ana
have had a so per cent appreciation IN
about a week. Their present price OF |
Q compares with low last year of 3 y.
Brazilian 6l2s rose over point and |
have rallied points from their low.
other municipal and provincial South |
American loans were strong. There |
was a report that some compromise |
might be effected with bondholders. |
Argentine IS were again heavy. Ger
mans were steady. Australian and |
United Kingdom bonds were lower. but |
Canadian Government SIS sold above |
par.
The United States Treasury loans
were generally higher. The IS advanced
IA and the 31ss the same. The high
premium issues made smaller gains.

NEW YORK, January H0.-Re-

Wall street is fairly optimistic on the

Having set mark for conceptions
involving the emotional side Of life
in which there is conflict with con-
ventions, and having worked out
most Of his plots with that tragic
idea furnishing exalted climaxes, the
writer here appears to have moved
forward to the position Of one who
sees life as an assortment Of expert
ences In which the observer, de.
tached from the intensity Of feeling,
views the whole thing as q piece Of
maneuver1ng toward social effects.
His variety in characterizations Is
as impressive as in his more serious
writings, and the dialogue Is as bril-
liant as ever; but the people on the
stage are just part of the show,
and the cynic may find delight in
their thoroughly uninspired attitude
on moral questions. 1t is intellectual
farce, with more value in the play of
personalities than in the progress Of
the plot.
One particular incident is the
scene involving two persons at the
table on which a meal Is being
served. It is thoroughly original in
the idea Of having two persons in
their seats at the table, facing the
audience, and carrying on a vital
conversation, while gradually the
group grows larger and the cOnver.

moves, however, toward the end
with speed and some excitement.

MIR. Hampden last night was
richly rewarded for his services by
prolonged applause at the end OF
his piece. He had played his play
with ease and with that manner Of
speaking his words distinctly and
sonorously which has placed him at
the head of his profession.
The play, of course, is too well
known to need description. It IS
not an after-dinner morsel to be
confused with lighter moments in
our theater, such as the rich and
ribald Noel Coward might provide.
And perhaps it suffered mite last
night from the too near shades OF
the Lunts, who, it seemed, had been
lolling about on that left-hand sofa
only a minute before, discussing
freighters and Norwegians and islands
big and small 1t suffered. too, from
a staginess which some of the lesser
characters brought to it. You could,
once or twice, almost hear the stage
manager shoe on his crowds with q
switch and wave them of with lusty
arm motion.
However, all in all, for those who
are fond Of their Caponsacchi, this
is an event in the theater which IS
well worth supporting. And this Is
due entirely to Mr.. Hampden. For
the remainder of his cast is nothing
to shout about-it ohstructs rather
than aids traffic, although Esther
Mitchell is graceful Pompilia,
Ernest Rowan a believable bad man,
and Whitford Klane q genuinely
amusing Canon Cont.

EXPERTSL0SEHOPE
Of CORN GASOLINE
Ncohol Would Enrich Farmer
and Speed Traffic, But
Proves UnfeasibIe.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, January 27.-Another
dream of agricultural scientists-that OF
a corn-made alcohol that would help
power the Nations automobiles-ap-
peared today to have been shattered.
This time research specialists OF the
petroleum industry have disturbed the
interesting vision Of farm relief through
new outlets for farm production. -Four
years ago it was the paper manufac-
turers with more cheaply produced
wares, who upset the scheme to supply
the country with corn stalk paper.
Very recently. agricultural college
authorities were intrigued with the pos
sibility Of making alcohol out of corn
cheaply enough to provide fuel that
could be added to gasoline to increase
its anti-knock qualities.
They figured that If one gallon Of
ethyl alcohol were used in each 10 gal
Ions Of motor fuel, about 100000 900
bushels of corn could be consumed
yearly Once that happened, farm re-
lief in the corn belt might become a
mere memory.
Blend Used Abroad.
So tests were made and results pub
Ished. Suggestion cropped out that
corn distilleries could be established in
local communities and new industry
created. DR.. Charles E. Friley, dean of
industrial science at Iowa State College,
pointed out that IT countries now use
q blend of alcohol and gasoline to make
their cars run.
But now the Standard Oil Co. of In
diana presents research report on al
cohol-gasoline possibilities. The COM
pany asserted that its position on the
question is neutral inasmuch as it
readily could manufacture alcohol to be
blended with gasoline, but added that
"on study of the alcohol motor fuel
question, the company's specialists have
discerned complications which make the
idea interesting as it, in a theoretical
way, looks highly impractical"
1t was pointed out that experience in
countries that import gasoline and
manufacture alcohol was not applicable
to this country where gasoline is cheaply
produced.
Oil Scientists View.
The oil industry scientists said
'The current selling price Of gasoline
at North Central States refineries Is less
than cents per gallon. Opposed to
this, the actual cost of manufacturing
alcohol of 95 per cent purity from the
present cheap nlolasses is about 20 cents
per gallon and the selling price is 80
cents per gallon. Many extravagant
claims as to the low cost Of alcohol
manufactured from excess farm prod
ucts have been made.
Actually. the process costs, exclusive
Of raw material cost, are greater than
when using molasses as raw material.
The new result is that in order to man
Sf$o OF to1
manufacturing cost of 20 cents per gal
lon, the price that can be paid for corn
is only 20 to 25 cents per bushel at the
alcohol plant.
In other words, this is squarely
proposition of mixing an inferior diluent
costing Is cents per gallon with q prod
uct worth only S cents and finding
some one to bear the added cost"

TRANSFERS STAR
WITH NEW CLUBS
Stewart, Higgins, Beck and
Hodapp Among Latest to
Demonstrate Worth.
by HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR.,


Associated Press Sports Writer.
JUDGING from the earliest
returns, the major league
~ ball clubs accomplished
few good strokes of business
in their dickering in ivory during
the Winter. The season is only
three days old, but already a
good many of the players who
shifted their allegiance in the
off-Season have had opportuni-
ties to shine for their new clubs.
In the first couple CT games Freddy
Lindstrom, Babe Herman, Al Simmons,
Sam West, Carl Reynolds Jimmy Dykes
and few others who figured in the
Winter trading got in some heavy stick
work; Eddie Durham, Earl Whitehill
and others displayed excellent pitching
form, the Brooklyn acquisitions, Jake
Flowers and Joe Judge, did some snappy
fielding along with the Athletics collec-
ton of rockies, who didn't do much
else in their first two games against
Washington.
couple of other recruits came out
into the spotlight yesterday to show
that they, too, may figure in the bat
Ting for the two pennants this season.
ONLY three games escaped postpone
~ ment, but they saw Walter Beck,
Brooklyn's big recruit from Mem
phis, pitch brilliantly in his National
League debut; Frank Higgins of the
Athletics add his name to the home
run list on his third day in the big
league: Walter Stewart, formerly of the
Browns, give Washington some more
good f1inging, and Johnny Hodapp, who
was with the White Sox last year, con-
tinue his effective work for the Boston
Red Sox
A couple of veterans, however, put on
the real show of the day as Lou Gehrig
and Charley (Rufus the Red) Ruffng
combined to give the New York Yankees
q 6-2 victory over Boston.
Rufflng, locked in f1inging duel with
Bob Weiland, in which each allowed
five hits, saw the game go into the
ninth inning tied at %, due to Gehrig's
second homer in two games. Consid-
cred the greatest hitting pitcher extant,
Rufus" took things into his own hands
dAIcI du error ana Two walks laQ CRAM
med the corners with two out. He
sr1acked Weiland's first pitch into the
bleachers for homer that ended the
game.
HODAPP, who helped the revived Red
L Sox make things tough for the
world champions in the first game
drove in both Boston runs yesterday
Beck's feat consisted OF holding the
heavy hitting Phillies to seven hits and
whiting five of them while the Dodgers
hammered out 7-to-1 victory. Most
OF Brooklyn's Is hits were made of
Austin (Cy) Moore, a former Dodeer
who went to the Phils during the
Winter.
Bob Grove, the AS stellar southpaw.
stilled the Senators bats after two
straight victories and gave the rebuilt
Mackmen 5-to-1 triumph. He gave
only six hits and pitched shutout ball
up to the last inning. Stewart pitched
well in his first start for washington
but didn't have a chance, as Higgins,
the young third sacker up from Port
land, nicked him for a homer In the
nfth and Jimmie Foxx and Mickey
Cochrane got in timely extra-base blows.

BROSE HOVER Is OUT

the ardor Of the mighty man with
