NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Bond
trends were divided in slow mar
ket today
Some utilities and the Latin Amer
lean issues were the principal ad-
vancers toward the close, but traders
were holding back from any eX-
tensive commitments.
One of the features Of the day
was jump of more than three
points in Auburn Auto SIS in fairly
active trading.
Rails were divided in their trends.
Among those moving higher were
Southern Railway 4s and Santa Fe

The advancing utilities included

War Uncertainties Curb

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Erratic
price fluctuations in the securities
markets since the outbreak of the
war, and the uncertainties which the
war has engendered have continued
to keep f1otations of new corporate
securities at relatively low levels, ac-
cording to Poors Bond Advisory
Service.
"A continuation of this trend will
have unfavorable implications as to
the future course of general business
activity, but there still appears to
be ample opportunity for the trend
to change. The investment of larger
amounts of new capital to increase
the country's productive capacity
should increase the tempo of general
business.
During the first 10 months of
1899, total corporate financing was
81 ,840,000,000. somewhat larger than
the 81 ,691 100000 in the similar 1888
period, but smaller than the $685.
100000 during the similar 1887 Pc
riod when general business activity
was at a relatively high level" states
the Poor's analysis. only 1922
$4,000 of new capital was raised in
the first 10 months of 1899. This is
less than so per cent of the $768, $685.
600 total of new capital obtained
during the first 10 months of 1898,
and less than 80 per cent of the ST.
142 ,385,000 raised in the first 10
months of 1887. The outbreak of
war was in part responsible for the
poor showing but in no quarter of
1899 have new capital fotations
reached the levels of the correspond
ing 1888 quarter.
Most of the corporate financing
this year has been in the form of
refunding operations, with a large
portion accounted for by the re-
funding of bonds which have been
outstanding only a few years and
which in turn were issued to replace
still higher coupon bonds"

With war orders meager, export
prices on some products are being

Do your guests drive up to your
front door in cloud of dust? Do
you splutter and choke as you stand
at the door waving farewell at the
end of an evening? If so, isn't 1t
worth So to lay the dust?
We've just heard about a chemi-
cal, white and f1aky. which can be
raked over your driveway to keep
those gravel and dirt areas around
your home moist, firm and dust
free. It's easily applied and may be
spread with rake. If you follow in
structions you need use it only twice
q year to eliminate dusty exists and
entrances. Not to mention banish-
ing the accumulation of dust in your
window curtains or on your delicate
hued walls!
The material to which we refer is
calcium chloride, which comes
packed tightly in 100-pound mois-
tureproof bags. The home owner
can apply it himself, wearing gloves
to protect his hands. Or her hands,
for it's not strenuous work. It
should be spread On the gravel or
dirt surface at the rate OF about
a pound and a quarter per square
yard Of space for the first treat
ment. Then after an interval of
from four to six weeks, a second
treatment Of about three-quarters
OF pound per square yard is rec
commended. Each time you rake
the whitish powder lightly over the
surface-that's all
Calcium chloride has the capacity
to absorb three times its own weight
in moisture from the air. The
dampness thus acquired in dirt or
gravel prevents the formation of
dust and makes firm, hard surface
that is easy to maintain.
In applying the material it's wise
to keep it about 8 or 10 inches away
from the sides of a driveway edged
with grass. If you put it too close,
it might injure the grass.
We asked if it were harmful to
dogs, cats and other pets, and were
told that no case of poisoning had
ever been reported after its use. But
an animal with a cut foot into
which the chemical could penetrate
should be kept away from the treat
ed surface until the cut healed
just to be on the safe side.
The calcium chloride is useful in
providing smooth, hard surfaces for
tennis courts, Fairgrounds, parking
lots and highways as well as for
residence drives.
Nothing is more useful in the
snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug home than
good putty. Dozens of uses for
putty always are cropping up; still

window frames against the weather,
filling in the joints between bath
