PLUMBING PRICES
AT 2O-YEAR LOW
Boilers and Radiators Sold
at About Half of Cost
in 1926.
BY FRANKLIN MULLTN,
Areoc{a+a5 Drass Gta@ ur}t.r

CHICAGO, December 8-Prices Of
staple plumbing fixtures are at the
lowest level in 20 years, a survey made
by the Plumbing and Heating Indus
tries Bureau showed today.
Boilers and radiators are selling at
approximately half of what they cost
in 1926, and a similar downward
tendency has occurred in the rela-
tive prices of kitchen sinks, the sur
vey indicated.
Using the 1926 price level as basic,
with the index number of 100, the
bureau found that the index indi-
eating relative prices for a 5-foot
corner built-in bath tub varied from
97.1 in 1914 to 112.1 in 1920, IS in
1928, 619 in 1882, IS in 1893 and
ssh in 1884.
The index for a 20 by 50 inch roll
rim one-piece sink, (which stood at
65.8 in 1914, advanced to Oil in 1920,
touching the high in 1925 and then
declining to 93.2 in 1928, It's in 1892,
ISL in 1888 and $50 in 1884.
The bureau said reports to it in
dictated the public is engaging IN
extensive modernization of plumbing
and residential business properties,
stimulated by unprecedented low
prices, attractive credit provisions of
the Federal Housing Administration
and the Nationwide interest in
modernization.
A leading manufacturer Of plumbing
fixtures reported sales for October,
1884, were ia per cent in excess Of
sales the same month last year.

Directors of the Northwestern Saw

to extend the time for the rendering
of such stock All stock thus acquired
will be retired and the capital Of
the corporation and the total dividend
requirements Of the first preferred
stock will be correspondingly reduced.
A similar situation, requiring the
suspension of dividends on the first
preferred stock, arose in July, 1882,
when the market value of the corpo-
ration's assets fell below its stated
capital. Previously dividends had
been paid continuously on the first
preferred stock from the time Of its
issuance in 1924.
During the latter part Of 1882 the
market value of the corporations net
assets increased and made possible
the resumption Of dividends on Octo-
Der l, 1892, at which time payment
of So per share was made to cover
the July l and October dividends.
Since that time dividends have been
paid regularly up to and including
the dividend which was paid on Oc-
tober !, 1884.

During November.

A gain of 1,121 new accounts in the

urday
The gain in assets for the month

In commenting on the report, Carl
j. Bergman, president of the league
said: These figures are convincing
evidence that the long-awaited up
turn in the home building, buying and
repairing field has definitely come
The average American family always
has been home conscious and, as a
rule, only postpones the owning of a
home or neglectS the maintenance OF
it in times of distress or financial
insecurity. This normal interest has
been greatly stimulated and encour-
aged in recent months by the pub
licity program and materials put out
by the Federal Housing Administra-
ton, and the Better Home Exposition,
which has been in progress the last
two weeks, has been practical DEM
onstration of the possibilities of i'm
provefnent in all types of homes.
Every indication points to an in
creasing demand on the part Of the
home owner, or the prospective home
owner, for funds with which to buy
build or improve their property; and
the building and loan associations OF
the District, with ample funds and
with their longtime amortization plan
of loan, anticipate no difficulty In
meeting all demands and speeding the
drive for unemployment in the con-
struction and building trades"

SUGAR REFINERS GET
LOWER NET RETURNS

NEW YORK, December 8.-The re-
cent reduction in the price of refined
sugar to 4.40 cents a pound brings
the net return to refiners to the lowest
point since May. 1882, according to
statistics Of B. w. Dyer g. Co., sugar
brokers. After deducting cash dis
count of per cent and the Federal
processing tax of 531a cents hun
dred pounds, the net return to the re-
finer is 37777 cents pound. In May,
1882, before the processing tax went
into effect, the company states. the
net return to refiners was 3.675 cents
a pound, but since that time the price
has been higher than at present.

Bonds and Preferred Stocks
Strong as Common
Shares Waiver.
STEADY DOLLAR SPURS
DEMAND FOR SECURITIES
Wheat Ends Week 1A to 3la
Cents Higher and Corn Scars
Nearly 2 Cents.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,

NEW YORK, December 8.-Bonds
and preferred stocks were stalwart
pillars of financial markets this week
as idle funds sought investment out
let.
Common stocks wavered toward
the end of the week, after a moderate
advance, but demand for income-pro
ducing securities continued good.
Rather active trading in shares,
without much progress in the list
generally, spread the impression that
some distribution was taking place
following the recent upswing. Traders
became cautious and reduced their
holdings.
Stocks on the whole, in consequence,
lost little ground, while bonds on
the average held most of their gains
to the end. Highest grade issues as a
group virtually duplicated peak levels
made last Summer. The Standard
Statistics Co. average for 80 stocks
finished the week l point lower at
TAT. The bond index was up nine
tenths Of point.
Weeks Volume Jumps.
With Wednesdays turnover in
stocks the largest since July at 1880
9l3 shares, the weeks volume in the
Stock Exchange increased to 6,232 ,451
from 4,86l,1 the preceding week.
The Thanksgiving holiday the week
before partly accounted for the diff
ference
Trading in bonds was broad and
active. The market was stirred by
the success of the Treasury's offerings
at the start of the week. Heavy de-
mand for the Treasury obligations and
the evidence they presented that yields
on investments were dwindling, set in
motion buying through the bond list.
A good deal of investment demand
spilled over from bonds into preferred
stocks and dividend-paying common
shares. Most stocks moving into new
high ground for the year were in those
categories.
Latest trade statistics continued to
build up background of business i'm
provement for the security markets.
But visible gains were not dramatic
enough to excite much speculation in
stocks.
Stimulated by Grains.
Wednesdays broad share market
drew much Of its inspiration from a
sharp rise in grain futures. Corn,
wheat and other grains have been
swept by recurrent buying waves as
imports Of foreign grains and small
domestic deliveries focused attention
on the limited supplies.
Wheat futures in Chicago ended the
week ia to 81 cents bushel higher
and corn held gains ranging nearly up
to 2 cents. Elsewhere appreciation in
commodity prices was slow and re-
stricted. Cotton futures in New York
for the week lost to Is cents a bale.
The healthy appearance of the dol
lar in foreign exchange dealings en-
couraged the flow of capital into Sc
curity markets and attracted more
funds from abroad, as was apparent
in the engagement of additional
amounts of gold for shipment to New
York.
European gold currencies had diff
Guilty maintaining their ground against
the dollar and the British pound fell
cents to around S495. But foreign
exchanges were not visibly perturbed
by the Balkan dispute and the resur-
rection of war fears in that sector Of
Europe.

ADVANTAGE SEEN
FOR BANK LOANS
Customers Likely to Receive
Easier Margins Than
Security Traders.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 8.-Impor-
tant distinctions in the loan values
Of securities which will give the indi-
vidual banking customer permanent
advantages over the security trader
operating on margin are being pre-
dicted in informed banking quarters
here on the basis of private Wash
ington advices.
Power to regulate the extension Of
credit on securities through the banks
was given to the Federal Reserve
Board in Washington under the secur-
tiles and exchange act While margin
requirements of brokerage concerns
already have been prescribed by the
board under this power, to date no
regulations have been issued covering
the granting of credit by banks
directly to their own customers.
Prepares New Rules.
The Federal Reserve Board is said
to be preparing new rules allowing
substantial differentials in favor of
individual banking customers as to
the collateral value of their securities
even when the loan requested is for
the purpose of carrying the security.
A still greater value for borrowing pur-
poses is expected to be allowed when
the customer wishes credit for other
than speculative purposes.
The securities and exchange act
now limits the credit which broker
can extend to a margin customer to
SIS to IS per cent Of its value, with
most securities falling into the former
class.
Following banking criticism that
such requirements were excessive
where the loans were under direct
supervision of the individual banks
and where the purpose of the loan
and status of the borrower could be
scrutinized, the new requirements are
expected to be easier!
High Percentage Talked.
Borrowers viii be required to declare
the purpose Of the loan in advance,
and if their bankers agree, a loan of
as much as IS per cent of the cur
rent market value may be permitted,
it is said.
This high percentage probably will
apply to loans where the customer
has signified his intention in writ
ing to use the funds for commercial
or personal purposes. Individual
loans for use in carrying securities are
expected to have a higher collateral
requirement, but still substantially
less than that required by brokers.
