The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-06
By OTTO l.. STURM United Press Financial Writer


 New York (UP)- The bond market was irregularly higher at the end of 1933, despite appear ance of weakness in the gilt-edged United States government securi- ties.
 Liberty bonds and treasury cer- tificates broke late in the fall when the government started its gold buying plan to boost price levels. This depreciated the dollar, but failed to raise commodity prices appreciably. Fears that more direct form of imitation might be employed led to selling of the gov ernment group.
 While infiationary fears were lulled to some extent by the triple over subscription of the treasury s December 15 financing program, government bonds were hindered from rallying by a year-end firm . ing of the money market and fin- ished some to 5 points lower than at the end of 1892.
 The general list of domestic cor poration bonds fiuctuated widely. but was headed for higher prices as 1884 approached. Increasing signs of business improvement stimulated new investment buying.
 The market touched its lows for the year prior to and during the nationwide banking crisis in March when all classes of bonds were thrown on the market in a frantic effort of the banks to maintain the utmost 1iquidity.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS
 SEEN FOR SUGAR
Increase Predicted Despite Import Flood -sC0n=

By EARL D. BABST Chairman, American Sugar
 ERnHptpp (n


 New York tUP)-To under stand conditions in Cuba. it should be recalled that during the war period Cuban producers and U. g. refiners. with little help. supplied the sugar needs of the allied armies and civil populations of | United Kingdom. France and Canada, besides safeguarding our | country.
 Our citizens invested hundreds of millions in Cuba and here, and also made loans to foreign gov ernments to buy the sugar pro- duced. All this under the stim- ulus of our government, which, however. did not heed the warning of the sugar industry to secure postwar markets to protect this vast investment. This omission. together with subsequent tariff barriers and artificial measures is the cause long behind Cuba's cco- homie plight.
 U. s. refiners meanwhile have lost almost all export markets through tariffs, bounties and em- bargocs abroad. They have even lost much of the U. s. market. through imports from new refiner- les in Puerto Rico. the Philippines and Cuba, amounting in 1882 to the sugar consumption of over II million of our citizens. equivalent to the consumption of 21 states. A decision important to all in- dustry is in prospect of the gov ernment's suit against the domes- tic sugar refincrs involving their code of fair competition. adopted in 1927. There are brightening prospects for sugar as world sta tistics continue to improve and consumption shows gratifying sta bility.

But Ellen was not asleep. When she was sure that he was, she rose quietly again, and going to the bureau look out a shabby old black purse. Her shopping purse. She went out into the living room. The I girl appeared to be asleep, but in the gray light Ellen saw her long lashes twitch on her white cheeks. Miss Jones'" said Ellen suddenly. You're not asleep"
 The girl opened her eyes and grinned. Her small sharp white teeth glinted In the dawn light. Whats on your mind, Mrs Mack?" she inquired, rnaiiciously.
 Ellen stood very stIlI, looking down at her. Ellen's face was lined md old in the harsh light. Her eyes were. dull and heavy. Her hands, holding the old black purse, were roughcned and reddened at the knuckles. Miss Jones'" she said. T want you to go away. Now"
 "Why?" asked the girl. Because" said Ellen, Mack, my husband, has an awful soft streak for things that are little and soft. | and look helpless. Once he brought home a kitten. He was awful stuck on it-and it had fleas. It wasn't | a nice kitten at all-but he couldn't sec that"

 No" said Ellen. But I'd rather he didn't-do it." Quietly she opened her purse. -
 T get you," said the girl, look ing at it. "I'll go."
 "I've got five dollars I was sav- ing for a dress" said Ellen.

She picked up the platter of steak and the coffee pot. Hold the door, Mack" she led the way into the living room. The table looked nice. the way 1t always did. Ellen took lot of trouble for him, he always thought-fixing his dinner out Of the hot kitchen. Keeping herself spic and span and shining. old fashioned and up to date, too that was Ellen.
 The girl wasn't very hungry after all, it appeared, Her slim, crumbs with blood red nails and curving fingers picked at bread she made no effort to talk. Mack rambled along with his usual re- port to Ellen of the nights ac- tivities, until Ellen said abruptly:
 Mack, the young lady is sleepy. Will you pull out the davenport? [? She ain't used to our hours"
 The girl looked at Ellen sharply. Thanks" she said. This is a break for me.H hadn't no place"

 "The kid has sure had some tough breaks, Ellen" he said. Ellen and the girl looked at each other, their eyes locked in the ifn- memorial challenge. Then:
 That's too bad" said Ellen.
 She lay awake long that night beside Mack in the big matched walnut bed, while the girl slept Cor presumably slept) on the liv- ing room couch. But at last, to- wards dawn, Ellen slept. Only to start suddenly awake with the icy hand of panic clutching at her heart. Mack was gone. Gone, too, was the pink taffeta coverlet she loved; the comforter that had been her most treasured wedding , present. Ellen slid out of bed with out a murmur of the springs and went to the door.

 Mack leaned back and swung open the door of his cab. Hop in." he said, bluntly. "Outa the wet" She looked at him keenly. Then she slid into the cab. and huddled shivering in a corner. Out in front Mack sat leaning on his wheel. He was in for it now, he told himself, scornfully. As usual. Big hearted. And he'd had a lousy night. He hadn't booked a pound. tips, gyps and all. It's a tough spot," said Mack, presently, to the girl in the back seat. There's only one thing I can think of to do for you" he hesitated.
 "l get you. Home, James," she said promptly. Her voice was flat and bitter.

 That's okay with me-" said the girl, flippantly. "I ain't lookin' for nothin' permanent. And l guess you get the price of coffee-and, ain't you. Let's go."
 Shut up," said Mack. That's no way to talk. Gimme a break, will you? I'm tryin' to be nice to you. feel sorry for you"
 SUDDENLY MACK DREW
 AWAY FROM CURB
 Suddenly Mack drew away from the curb with a shriek of protesting machinery. It was an ancient ve- hicle, but his own. He drove up Fifth avenue, block after block, sticking to the middle to avoid chance call. A glance over his shoulder assured him that the girl had wit enough to huddle back out of sight, because ne had left the flag up. After all, nickel was nickel. Brooding over the new tax, he almost forgot her until he turned east on Seventy-second street. East and still further east.
 The girl sat erect, pleating her skirt nervously over her knee. Where we goin', big boy?" she wanted to know. T know the way to the river. was down there last night, lookin' it over"
 T ain't takin' you down to look at the river" said Mack. I'm takin' you home. To my wife, Ellen"
 "Hey-are you crazy? Let me out" Her voice was suddenly shrill.
 "You don't know Ellen," said Mack, calmly. She's different. Here we are" He got out and opened the door. She slid out and looked up at the house. A tall, brown tenement. Respectable. Clean. She ran up the steps with nervous little scamper. They climbed the dim, odorous stairs silently. Runs in her stockings, he noticed. Heels turned over. Good ankles, but skinny. It was pitiful, the way the rain had soaked into her thin suit at shoulders and hips. She'd of had pneumonia" he told himself, contentedly, as they reached his door. He knocked three times. The girl shrank back.
 The door opened. Ellen stood there, framed by the yellow lamp light. Ellen, plump, starched, waved and shining. Mack looked at her with pride and swept the girl forward with an

pinned to Ellen's face. It was simple and kindly. Ellen must have been forty. She had never been pretty ah any age. 1.-The girl strengthened her shoulders with a little twistof bravado. "Pleased to meet you," she said, pertly.
 Dinners just ready" said Ellen, noncommitally. Mack show the young lady where to put her hat" She vanished into the kitchen.
 THE FLAT WAS
 BLAZING WITH LIGHT
 The flat was blazing with light, as if it were six o'clock dinner in stead of three in the morning. The air was rich with steak and coffee and other savory odors. The girl stared about her curiously. Then her wide, hazel eyes came to rest on Mack's ugly, sympathetic face. They were strange eyes, holding two small pin points of light that widened and frightened as he looked into them. Somehow he

Bonds Much Higher
 As 1883 Year Ends
United States Loans, Exceptions, Register Declines
 New Investment Buying Stimulated

When markets reopened on March 15 after two-week shut down during which the, new ad . ministration strengthened out the tangled banking situation. bonds began a forward movement which | lasted until late in July. New highs since 1881 were touched on the rise, which was accelerated by business improvement, cheap credit and plans of the government to raise price levels.
 A violent break in stocks and commodities terminated the rise in July and speculative bonds fell of sharply from their highs. Demand converged on United States govern ment and other high grade bonds, which ruled steady until late in the year, when monetary developmcnts reversed the trend. Speculative bonds, which had moved irregular ly lower since July, firmed up. Industrial corporation bonds particularly those of steel, rubber and metal companies, showed the best gains at the end of the year. Railroad issues of the lower priced speculative descriptions were sharp Up higher, advancing, as much as about 50 points in some instances. Public utility bonds, with the ex. ception of communication com pany issues, ruled lowers on selling induced by fears of adverse Iegis- lation.
 Foreign obligations were featur- ed by sweeping gains late in the year in bonds of the European gold bloc countries, which scared as the dollar declined in terms of foreign exchange. French and Swiss loans were carried to new record highs. British and Japanese issues made wide gains and there was a sub stantial rally in Argentine bonds. German issues, which advanced early in the year when the Ger mans bought back large blocks of their dollar bonds and retired them sold off with the advent to power of Adolf Hitler. but steadied as the year ended.
