<t Hiang ‘STOCKS G0 HIGHER IN CURB MARKET Ford Motor of Canada Again Feature—Newly Listed Issues Also Strong. BL WILLIAM F.. HEFFERNAN, Epecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November 28.—Outside considerations which were responsible for the upturn in the curb market last week continued to have their ef- fect today, namely, expectations of a prosperous final quarter for many companies, prospects of continued prosperity early in 1928, and indica- tions of an abundant supply of funds for speculative purposes. The outstanding coincident of the entire proceedings was the spectacular rise in Ford Motor of Canada. Fol- lowing the point advance last week, the price was carried up more than 30 points, erossing 624. Its activity and strength was coincident with the latest Ford anouncement concerning the new car and the orders alveady received by dealers, despite the fact that prices for the new models have not yet been announced. Inasmuch as this is the only Ford issue, its strength was taken to forecast a favorable pub- lic reception of the new Ford line when it is placed on formal display late this week. Several Other Advances. Firestone Tire had to absorb realiz- ing sales, following last week's rise. but it did so with little difficulty and subsequently rallied to its highest. C. & G. Spring and Bumper estab- lished a mew+1927 top, crossing 12'z and Aluminum Co. of America gained another 5 points or so before the de- mand subsided. In each instance it was prospects of increased business, much of it expected as a result of THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. “NEW.YORK CURB MARKET Received by Private Wire Direct te The Star Office Following s the list of bonds and stocks traded in on the New York Curb Market today: INDUSTRIALS.

Newly listed securities which have made their debut on the Curb Mar- ket immediately following their offer- ing for public subscription were pmong the favorites, although the ex- tent of their advance over subscrip- tion prices was coming in for a good deal of severe criticism. One of these was General Bronze common, offered last week at 20 for a limited amount of stock. It was selling at a premium of 12 points today. Much Manipulation Seen. Crowley Milner common reached a new top and Hershey common was another. Although subscriptions to new issues have in most instances been reported as greatly exceeding amounts offered and much of the de- mand in the open market has been due to limited allotments, those back of the market for these stocks evi- dently were able to do anything they wanted with the issues. MERGER UNDER WAY. Large Blocks of Capital. LONDON, November 28 (A).—Sh: holders and stockholders of Armstrat Whitworth & Co., Ltd., at four s@ arate meetings today, indorsed.a pEo-d nosal for writing down £11,000,000 Pf the company’s capital on account of losses and capital adjustment and for merging with Vickers, Armstrong, Ltd., with its share capital limited to $21,000,000. Vickers previously effected reorgan- fzation, writing off about £12,000,000. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, November 28 (#).—In- fluenced by a bearish crop estimate .from Argentina, wheat values under- went an early sag today. According to a Chicago expert at Buenos Aires, the 1927 Argentine yield of wheat promises to total 231,000,000 bushels. Opening % to % cent off, the Chicago wheat market held to near initial fig- ures. Corn showed relative firmress, starting at 3 cent decline to % cent advance and later gaining a little all around. Oats were easy. Provisions also tended to recede. Inasmuch as the majority of recent forecasts of wheat production in Ar- gentina this season have been around 220,000,000 bushels. a new estimate to- day of 11,000,000 bushels more in pros- pect was given considerable attention here as a bear factor. There was an absence of any aggressive selling from outside sources, however, and price declines did not make much immedi- ate headway: ‘Wet weather prevailing in corn-belt territory furnished strength at times to the corn market today. Numerous complaints were received that corn is molding in the crib and that husking at various places has been brought to a standstill. EVERYMAN’S INVESTMENTS BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. Losing Interest on Liberties. On November 15-last interest on 'the second Liberty loan stopped. The Gov- ernment had called for payment all the outstanding bonds of this issue on that date. Notwithstanding this fact, there are still many bonds which have not been turned in for redemption. Mostly they belong to small investors, who bought them in war time and who have failed so far to see the official announcement regarding the redemp- tion. Many bond owners probably believe because coupons are still attached to their bonds that they will be able to cash these every six months in the future as they have done in the past. That, of course, is an error. It may be asked why the United States Treas- ury did not notify each bondholder personally. That would have prevent- ed any loss of interest to the indi- vidual, but a moment’s reflection shows that it would have been impos- sible. The Government has no list of the holders of coupon bonds. It your bond was registered, you did receive an official notice that it has been called, for in that case the Treasury had your name and address. A coupon bond, however, changes ownership by delivery. In that respect it is the same as cash, and most Lib- erty bonds have traveled about from one owner to another many, many times, It will be months, possibly years, before all of these second Lib- erty bonds finally turn up at Wash- ington to be redeemed. The holders will have lost interest on their money meantime, but there seems no way to prevent it. 1t is the same with other bonds. Un- less the bondholder happens to see the notice of redemption, he will not find out about it until he tries to cash the next coupon at the bank. In that event he will lose six months’ interest, but nothing more. In every case the principal will be paid on presentation of the bond, whether the call date is st or not. ”\'\E’hen T say that some of the second Ziberty loan bonds will be outstanding “or years, I have in mind chiefly those careless investors who do not bother even to cash their coupons regularly. "Then, too, some bonds will have been lost by being mispla accidently destroyed. There i a proportion of these cases. The moral of it all is that investments, 'm Pw Cor n.

OPERATING INCOME DROPS.— Net operating income of the New York Central Railroad for October fell to $4,994,066 from $5,865,295 in October last year. The Pennsylvania Railroad also showed a sharp decline in net, $10,744,328 from $13,763,169 a year ago. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad re- ported $354,637 in contrast to $1,040,- 592 in October, 1926, and the Illinois Central System. $3,141,208 against $3,386,623. COMMON STOCK OFFER.—Com- mon stockholders of Standard Gas & Electric of record December 6 have been offered rights to subscribe to ad- ditional common stock at $50 a share before December 28, to the extent of 10 per cent of thejr holdings. The proceeds will be used for investment in public utility companies. EXCESS IN OIL SUPPLY.—Pre- liminary oil figures for October indi- cate an excess supply of 2,700,000 bar- rels of crude and refined oils, exclusive of California, a daily average oversup- ply of 87,000 barrels, Complete figures for September showed a net gain in ofl storage of 1,134,000 barrels, a daily average excess of 38,000 barrels. A gain of 83,000 barrels in gasoline stocks east of the Rockies indicated the be- ginning of seasonal storing. Stocks of gasoline for the country were re- duced 3,717,000 barrels in September, EARNINGS ESTIMATED. — Esti- mated earnings of the Curtis Publish- ing Co. for 1927 are figured on the asis of between $13.60 and $14 a share on 900,000 no par common shares, after preferred dividends, indicating net earnings of between $18,500,000 and $19,000,000, against $15,235,581 in 1926, or $9.92 a share on the common stock. It is expected directors will consider another extra of 50 cents at their December meeting, which would bring common dividends for the year to $10. » PASSES COAMON DIVIDENDS.— even in Government bonds, require a certain amount of intelligent attention. —— More than a milllon houses have ‘heen built in England and Wales since the end of the wan, . Directors of India Tire & Rubber Co. Akron, took no action on the quarter- Iy dividend of 45 cents a share on the common stock due at this time.

Steel Corporation Ex- pected to Announce Farrell as Board Chairman. BY J. C. ROYLE. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. NEW ° YORK, November 28.—A momentous decision for business will be made Tuesday, when one of the chief industrial concerns of the world announces the successor to Judge E. H. Gary as chairman of the board of the_United States Steel Corporation. It'is not anticipated that the ap- pointment, no matter who is chosen, will change the selling policy of the corporation. But the announcement will emphasize this policy at a time when other industrial and distributing concerns are struggling desperately to formulate, a successful sales policy. In scores of corporations, especially in the automobile and machinery fields, small profits are being blamed on sales forces. The salesmen are passing the buck right back to the factory heads and corporation execu- tives. Situation Outlined. On the one side, the executives say that salesmen are taking orders at prices which show little or'no profit, just to pile up sales. They declare they are looking for salesmen who will sell customers on the advantages of their products instead of coming back to the office and selling the executives on the arguments of their competitors and the difficulties which surmount the consummation of sales. ‘The sales forces, on the other hand, declare that the factory heads and executives cannot or will not stick to a sales policy and that they will sacrifice any such program to pro- duction. The front office men, they add, are always yelling for increased production and come to the sales force to get it no matter what con- cession is given to get business. Farrell Probable Cholce. It seems likely from present indica- tions that President James A. Farrell will become chairman of the board,of the Steel Corporation. Mr. Farrell for years has been the dominating figure in the sales end of the corporation, and his new position will bring his policies vividly to the front. He has never been a supporter of the policy of slashing prices to the bone to get volume of business, and it is probabla many corporations will adopt his stand. Heads of the larger automobile con- cerns have, repeatedly said that the competition which all know is coming in 1928 will not mean slashing price cuts. In this connection it is notable that the truck -company which has made the most outstanding success this year not only did not make price cuts, but steadily maintained a price level somewhat higher than many of its competitors. Volume Production Chief Aim. Volume production is a fetish to many manufacturers. They feel that in volume lies cutting of costs and widening of profit margins. All agree with this to a certain point, but' many producers think volume can cost too much to get. One of the largest dis- tributors of machinery and supplies in New York City said today that his firm could do three times the volume of business it was doing provided it took some business at or very close to cost. “But we are in business for profit,” he said. ‘“We will not take a nickel's worth of business which does not show a profit, .whether the plants are at |, capacity or not,” There are niany opponents of this attitude. The department store men, for example, say that by selling one article at cost they attract customers for other articles‘at a profit. Safe Course Indicated. But at any rate there is a_declded tendency today not to accept business merely for the sake of turnover. Au- tomobiles will not be given away. No amazing trade-ins are going to be al- lowed on old cars. No easier terms on part-payment purchases are in sight. Salesmen who can get the business and get it without making concessions are in more demand than ever, and so are executives who can formulate a sales policy and stick to it despite :?mpmtlon offered by volume produc- on.

Dealers in the poultry market this morning reported a return to normal conditions, following the heavy Thanksgiving holiday trade, and they now are looking forward to the trade for the approaching Christmas holi- day season. Prices have undergone _slight changes the past few days. Today's prices, however, were what dealers termed fairly reasonable. They had supplies more than ample to meet de- mands, they reported, and business was about normal for the first buying day of the week. Business along all lines was only fair, according to dealers, but it Is ex- pected conditions tomorrow will show an improvement.
