Where Carthage Stood

When Carthage was destroyed by
the Romans in 146 B. c., houses.
people, animals, even vegetation
were razed to the ground. Many
years later the Romans built an
other city on the crurnbling,
scorched earth. But when the Ro-
man empire in Africa declined.
their city was wiped out leaving, to
the present day, little standing
above the desert sand. and only
brackish pools where once the
mighty Carthaginian fleet was har-
bored.

'Medium-Priced Rails
Lead Lower Drift
In Bond Market

by the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 4-The bond
market tilted to the downside in
today's brief session under leader
ship Of medium priced rails.
Declines were mostly in frac-
tions with an occasional straggler
losing a point or so and in all
major groups there were a GER
tain number of plus marks scat
tered through the losers.
Sales of $1,330,000, par value.
gives a good idea of the quiet
conditions prevailing at the trad
ing posts. Last Saturdays volume
was $1.610,000. The rails and
industrials in the Associated Press
averages each lost i of point
while other groups remained
stationary.
/. G. N. Issues Advance.
Loans. of the International Great
Northern Railroad were the out
standing feature of the advancing
side of the market. The SIS, due
in 1856, rose IA points to 81h.
The &C" bonds of the same issue
rose "a to 81A and a fractional
plus mark was hung on the first
IS which closed at 86. The ad-
justment IS lost q fraction.
On the losing end were bonds
of the Baltimore g. Ohio, Central
of Georgia, ST. Paul, North Wes-
tern, Detroit Edison and Hudson
8, Manhattan. Missouri Pacific
loans were mostly lower. A block
of 10 Southern Railway consoli-
dated SIS sold at 116. off 31a points.
Ending a little higher were Le-
high Valley 41as and SIS, National
Dairy 234s and Northern States
Power 2As. Spokane Interna-
tional AIS advanced 5 points to
30 on sale of one bond.
Limited demand lifted some
Latin American bonds but most
foreign obligations we're quiet.
Market Steady In Week.
The corporate bond market rode

wcch Will l1O llSCS VI OlpS W III
terrupt its steady gait.
Railroad. industrial and utility
issues all finished the week just
about where they started it,
There was no political, economic
or corporate news that had the
power to add or detract from the
even performance of the debt
market.
Rails moved up a jot when it
first became known President
Truman was ready to make a bid
for peace in the coal dispute, but
quickly leveled off.
Fereign dollar bonds, however,
continued the slow, steady rise
that developed around the year
end and has not been interrupted
yet. The foreign dollar average
hit 30-month high during the
week.
Obligations Of British Empire,
Latin American and the Scandi-
navian countries, as well as of
Italy, all have made good pro-
gress.
