RAILROAD ISSUES
LEAD BOND MART
Finish Week On a Rising
Note But Prices Re-
main On Even Par

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 Up -
Railroad issues finished the
week on a rising note in the
bond market today but with
prices on the average about
even with a week earlier.
Buying apparently represent
ed a carryover from Friday and
was based in part on unconfirm-
ed rumors that an interstate
Commerce Commission ruling
on an emergency freight rate
boost would be issued next
week. Grains ran from fractions
to around a point.
In the first Saturday session
since May, issues of the New
Haven System provided much
of the action, with gains of frac-
ton to a point and more. The
As of 1947 added l SO while the
incomes, when issued, advanc-
ed SO.
High-priced, and consequently
low-yield, issues improved a
trifle after dropping to the low
est average price for the year.
Trading in U. S. Government
bonds in the over-the-counter
market was virtually at a stand
still. Most dealers planned not
to operate on Saturday, accord
ing to an announcement by the
government security dealers
group.
Highlight of the weeks news
for many investors was the fast
public sale of $40, 600, 900 New
England Tel and Tel devent-
ureS.
Two investment syndicates
submitted bids for the issue,
due in 1882, and both named a
3 per cent coupon. Dealers said
it was the first time in years
that so high a coupon had been
named on a prime bond.
Inc issue was AWARDED 10
Halsey Stuart & Company on a
bid of 100, 1901, which topped
Morgan Stanley and Company's
10O.4O, and immediately was re-
ported publicly at 101 So, or a
yield to maturity of 1925 per
cent. Institutional buyers, as
well as other investors, found
the yield attractive and a quick
sell-out resulted.
The yield, according to an
opinion widely held in Wall
Street, pointed up two trends;
an upward tendency, however
slight, in interest rates; and a
more "realistic" pricing of new
issues of that type.

CITY officials marked time yes
terday awaiting official Motif
cation by the U. S. Maritime

The bid was the highest of g
dozen submitted. Others ranging

Southern Farm Market
Summary

Farmers in southern poultry pro-
ducing areas sent more broilers and
fryers to market this week than
the trade could handle, and prices
went lower, in some cases break
ing the sharpest since the war
years, according to the Production
and Marketing Administration. The
marketing of hens, however, did
not exceed the demand and prices
held fairly steady.
A decline of about 10 cents a
pound hit broilers and fryers in the
Delaware Maryland- Virginia, and
by the close Friday prices rang
mostly from 10 to 81 cents pound.
In north Georgia, declines were
uneven but less severe at from 8
to cents. North Carolina mark
cts held fairly steady after drop
ping the first of the week and Ark
ansas markets were weak and off
! to 2 cents. At the close Friday.
fryers brought mostly % to 81 cents
for lghtweights in North Georgia,
with heavy. birds at rs to % cents,
only few up to 81 In North Car
olina and Arkansas, fryers brought
around IS and 80 cents respectively. /
Florida citrus shipments were
heavy for tangerines and oranges,
with prices in ten large auctions
breaking sharply from Monday.
Shipping point prices for vegetables
were comparatively low, but cab
bage advanced on news of freez-
ing temperatures in competing Tex
as shipping areas. Hot, dry wealth |
er held down the quality of the
celery crop around Sanford and
the Lake section. Shipments of
celery and new potatoes were few
because of low quality and small
size.
However, by Friday the north
eastern market for celery and snap
beans had improved. Valentine
beans ranged in New York from
So to $3.25 and Plentifuls sold from
81 to $3.50 a bushel for generally
good quality. Wax types reached
as high as S.. One car of Golden
Heart celery sold at from $3.50 to
S3.75 for crates of six dozen.
Hog receipts at southern markets
were the heaviest of the season to
date. Approximately 10000 hogs
were marketed this week at four
major terminals and in the Georgia,
Alabama trading area. Prices fluc-
tuated, but closed with strong to
higher trend at all points Georgia
Florida-Alabama top price was $40
Is; Nashville $3.50; and Montgom-
cry $21.OO.
In cattle trading, major packing
plants in Georgia, Florida, and Ala
bama listed general mark-ups of
80 cents to dollar under light re-
ceipts and strong demand. Nash
vile had progressively weak to low
er prices on medium and better
steers and heifers, and Gamer grae
cows. A few lots of steers grading
good at Nashville sold around $4,000
to $500. while in the Georgia /
Florida-Alabama area most common
and medium grades brought $107O
to $3.50. At Montgomery, where
prices were strong to a dollar, good |
fed yearlings reached $24OO.

Dupont Circle Citizens
Back Six-Year Plan

Support of Engineer Commits
sioner Gordon r. Young's six-year
plan for municipal improvements
In the District, was voted by the
Dupont Circle Citizens Association
yesterday.
The association, meeting in the
Mayflower Hotel, unanimously
adopted the resolution approving
the plan "in general principle" after
hearing Gen. Young outline past
progress Of municipal government
here and some Of the Districts
present and future needs.
Citing the rapid growth Of the
city since 1910, the Commissioner
said that during the past six years
Washington has increased in popu-
lation by q quarter Of a million per-
sons, practically the same number
who came here from 1919 to 1910.
For the quarter of million per-
sons who came during the interwar
years." Gen. Young said, "$140, ,000,-
600 was spent to take care Of the
increase, but from 1910 until now,
less than SAC, 0,000, 900 has been spent" "
In another resolution the asso-
citation approved the proposal to
add three judges to the Municipal
Court, with one to be permanent
trafhc Judge. The group also In
dorsed the Hebert bill to set up an
alcoholic clinic in the District.

Fred Warnings. '.Well. boys, here
We are In Constitution Hall" started
OF the concert that brought the
popular director and his radio show
to the OAR auditorium where q
good slice OF the Washington public
was on hand to greet him. Not only
was the turnout something to make
|envious the serious minded music
lovers but the vociferous approval
|of everything offered during the eve
ming Of jazz, grooming and high har-
monized chorus singing was of q
kind seldom heard In that dignified
precinct. The appearance Of Waring
and his Pennsylvanians was the
third event presented by Patrick
Hayes in his first session as impress
sario.
The theme song Of the group
opened the program and was re-
peated several times as Waring
razzed the latecomers, stopping to
inquire from some. Where have you
been?" or to others, Trying to
sneak in, weren't you" He was his
own master Of ceremonies and the
star Of the show with his clever ad
ubbing as situations arose. He kept
the action moving and there was no
intermission in the more than two
hour program.
He wondered II the walls that DR..
Kinder had conditioned with his
music could stand that of Warnings
group. But they were prepared to
give symphonic numbers, he said,
for those who expected to hear only
that kind in Constitution Hall and
swung his musicians into a jazzed UP
performance of "The Volga Boat
Song" There was also Dinicu's
"Hora Staccato," made famous by
Jascha Heifetz, which other fine
musicians besides his had played,
Waring said. He continually prom
ised to arrive at the best part Of
the program but stopped on the way
for another swing session with his
orchestra or for q song by his sew
eral soloists.
No printed program was used but
favorites, long familiar from the
Waring broadcasts, were chosen by
each Of the singers. Tall, statuesque

Tigers Whip As, Il
On Evers' TWo-Run
Homer in Ninth
Newhouser Wins No. 3
As Detroit Increases
Lead Over Red Sox
By III. A,,oeioted Pres,

PHILADELPHIA, May 17.-Wal-
ter "Hoot" Evers wound up the
Detroit Tigers first visit of the
season here in blaze of glory today
with two-run, ninth inning homer
that defeated the Philadelphia
Athletics 81. The victory 6ncreased
Detroit's league lead to two games
over the Red Sox.
The blow, with Pat Mullin on base,
broke UP what had been a scoreless
pitching duel between Hal New
houser and the AS Rookie Joe Cole
man. Newhouser, who famed 10,
went on to win his third victory
against four defeats.
The Mackmen loaded the bases
with none out in their half Of the
ninth, but could manufacture only
single run as Gene Handley
bounced into double play and
pinch hitter Pete Suder famed on
four pitches. Coleman was charged
with his second loss.
Eddie Lake. Detroit shortstop,
suffered a slight spike wound in a
ninth -inning collision with George
Binks of the AS. Lake was removed
from the game, but club sources said
later he will be able to play tonlor-
row.
