FINANCIAL. CONVERTIBLE BOND * SALES ARE ACTIVE 4Brooklyn Union Gas 5 1-2s ! Feature Trading — Re- * mainder of List Quiet. BY CHARLES F. SPEARE. #@pecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, September 14.—Deal- ings in convertible issues made up the bulk of the trading in today's bond ymarket. Practically all of these were active and strong and some of them !much higher. The mest conspicuous avas Brooklyn Union Gas 5!2s. These closed Thursday at 292, up 12 points on the day. Before noon today they had touched 300, the highest price ou record. The bond is_convertible on January 1 next into Brooklyn Union Gas stock, on the basis of two shares o stock for each $100 in bon ‘The price of 300, thercfore, represents a three- andsone-half-months call on Brooklyn Union Gas at 150, considerably belov the present market for she stock. Barnsdall 65 with warrants, touching 111, were up 4'> points and also at the highest on record. The warrants en- $i1¢ th= holders to buy Bardsdall stock 8t 325 a shate, so that they have an im- mediate value at the present price of the stock. Public Service of New Jerses | #15s moved to a smaller range, but most of the time somewhat higher. Activity kept up in Anaconda 7s. Sales for cash were made above and sales for seven day delivery below the quotations for transactions in the regular way. This represented the efforts of traders tu take advantage of the time when the conversion rate into stock will be ad- wvanced. Investment fssues were steady, but quiet. A block of American Smelting & Refining 5s came up furiously higher and the first 4i, per cent Liberties gained ground. Union Pacific first 4s and Hudson & Manhattan refunding -5s improved moderate!

CHICAGO, September 14 (#).—Wheat prices averaged higher today, helped by increasing attention being given to talk of a decided holding policy on the part of domestic Spring wheat farmers. Friends of higher prices gut special stress on rts of remarkably large numbers of storage tanks bought in the Northwest for the purpose fo holding wheat. In some quarters, it was as- serted that such a course among United States farmers, combined with a holding policy by the Canadian growers’ pool might result in at least moderately ad- vancing prices from time to time. Ex- port demand for wheat from North America today was better, totaling about | 800.000 bushels. Wheat closed firm, 15 to 7 net higher, | corn % to 134 up: oats, showing 'x to 4 advance, and provisions varying from 2 cents decline to a rise of 15 cents. WHEAT— Close.

MARKET Chickens Are Cheaper. Fish Plentiful at Unusually Low Figures. A scarcity of eggs today advanced the prices of both hennery and current receipts. The former advanced to 43 cents to 45 cents from 42 cents to 44 cents and the latter went up to 37 cents to 38 cents from 35 cents to 36 cents. It is cxpected by dealers that these prices will be maintained for some time. In sharp contrast to eggs, most grades of chickens dropped several cents in rice. Large Spring chickens dropped rom 34 cents and 35 cents to 32 cents. Medium Spring chickens dropped cents from 33 cents and 34 cents. Small Spring chickens and Leghorns also| dropped 2 cents per pound on each. Large dressed Spring chickens are now 38 cents and 40 cents as against & for- mer price of 42 cents and 43 cents. Dealers attributed the drop in poultry prices to the lessened demand caused { by the Jewish New Year celebration. In preparation for this event, fish dealers are offering all types of fish that are | appropriate at prices unusually low. Shell crabs are selling at_exceptionally low prices, being available as low as 25 cents a dozen. Hard crabs are $2 a barrel, and oysters $2 and $2.50 a gal- lon, Today's Wholesale Prices.

IS HEAVY Americans Spend Huge Sums on Trips to Dominion, Re- ports Show. BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR. Special_ Dispatch to The Star and American Newspaper _Alliance. NEW YORK, September 14.—How much money do peoble from the United States leave in Canada every year? No official figures have been given out, but guesses run ail the way from $100,000,000 to $400,000,000. The Royal Bank of Canada estimates that $275,- 000,000 was left by United States visitors to Canada in 1927, compared with $140,000,000 in 1925. This year traffic has been unusually y. In Quebec, which 3.434 cars from the United States entered in 1915, 425,000 cars were expected to enter this year. Ontario shows a much larger figure, but the length of stay is less. It is estimated that 3,000,000 cars North ered Canada before the close of the Present year. Canada, sceing what is ahead, is busy speading millions of dollars for good roads. Motor production is at ‘the peak; 435000 cars were shipped from the factories during August—a new record for all time. Foreign demand for American cars is unprecedentedly high. Domestic business is cxcellent. It looks | as if the record of 4,502,000 motor cars turned out in 1926 would be broken before 1928 passes into history.

BALTIMORE, September 14 (Spe- | cial).—Declaring that the bus fares of | 25 cents between Washington and Dis- | trict Heights and 35 cents to Fores ville are too high, William G. Schneider | of Benning Station, D. C.. has asked the Public Service Commission to take some action looking toward a reduction in the rates between these two points. In his letter, Mr. Schneider, who is chairman of the committee on trans- portation of the District Heights Citi- zens' Association, says: “It is the desire of the residents along the Marlboro Pike to have this stction rezoned for bus transportation. At present the fare from Washington to District Heights is 25 cents and to For- estville is 35 cents, which is considered too high. “Please advise me of the proper form of procedure to remedy this condition. Any help your office can give us will be appreciated.” _— The efficacy of the cod's liver was early known among the coastal sections We Finance Mortgage Loans - 5%% and 6% Use our long experience and close co-operation in securing your Mortgage Loans on business or residential property.
