FINANCIAL!S SPECULATIVE BOND MARKET STRONGER Chemical and Copper Issues Score Gains in Small Turnover. BY CHARLES F. SPEARE. Bpecial Dispatch to The Sta: NEW YORK, April 27.—The surpris- ing strength in siocks, in view of the high money rates yesterday, furnished the basis for the main activities in to- day’s bond market. The feature here was again the new American I. G. Chemical convertible B%s, which advanced early 12 points, selling at a premium of 234 points over the subscription price. This has been the most successful large Issue brought out in some ‘time. Another strong speculative bond was Alleghany Cor- poration 5s, with a rise of 2. Ana- conda Copper 7s gained 4% and Inter- national Telephone 4l3s were at one time up 3;. Slight losses occurred in Atchison 4l¢s and ,Amencan Interna- jonal Corporation 5!%s. u ‘The mag(k]et is so thin that it is pos- sible on small transactions to lift prices a point or to depress them the same amount. This situation explained the gain of & point in Goodyear 5s and in International Paper 6s. Seaboard Air Line 6s dropped to a new low price for the year. United States Government issues were affected unfavorably by the high money rates. Foreign dollar bonds. however, egain stood up well in the face of the unsettled money conditions in Germany. ‘The Pirelli convertible 7s led this de- partment with a rise of over 2 points. ‘The State of North Carolina has been obliged to sell 5% per cent notes due September 16 at par. These refund notes due May 10 8% per cent coupon.

BY HARRY H. BECKER. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, April 27.—Moderate oArength with a sprinkling of new high records featured the Curb Market at the end of the week. Covering opera- tions, which started late yesterday were continued in many parts of the lst. Some stocks moved up briskly for spe- cial reasons. ‘The utilities made a particularly im- pressive showing, marked by enormous trading in Associated Electric Indus- tries, a holding company. The initial sale was for 15,000 shares, and the price climbed steadily in volume dealings. Associated Gas & Electric was quiet, despite announcement of the purchase of United Gas Improvement’s entire holdings in the General Gas & Elec- tric Co. Assoclated Gas is now in un- disputed control of the latter property and is expected to link it with its own system. United Gas Improvement was only moderately steady. It receives for its General Gas holdings an amount estimated at $38,000,000. Other strong features include Bliss Wright in the airplane division, Aluminum Co., Haygart, St. Regis Paper, Irving Air Chute, National Theater Supply and Continental Dia- mond Fiber. Good gains were also marked up by Union Carbide, Casein Corporation of America and National Dairy Products new. Profit-taking ap- Deared in International Projector, Hiram Walker, Firestone Tire and many spe- cialties, but declines were small. Oils were dull, with the only move- ment of any consequence an advance in Humble, Mining and metal stocks hardened. Heavy Construction. NEW YORK, April 27 (#)—McGraw- Hill Construction Dalily reports that heavy construction operations announc ed in the past week were valued at $76,- 400,000, compared with $88,150,000 for the same week last year. .

Receipts of most commodi- ties were in excess of the demand, merchants reported, high prices of meats and poultry probably affecting trading along the two lines of business. | Business along most lines was onlyl fair, according to reports, but increased buying is anticipated in the near future. | It is probable that poultry prices will | take a decided drop the coming week, | dealers say, and business should then | improve. | Meat prices have continued high the | | past month or more, the increase af-| | fecting the fresh pork market more | {than the beef, veal and lamb sales.| | Genuine Spring lamb is the meat most | in demand at this season, selling by | the quarter rather than by the pound. | Chickens in Demand. Spring chickens also are in demand at this season. Early receipts sold at| prices lower than usual, but prices later advanced to such an extent that the de- mand lessened. Prices took a drop this week, however, and turkey prices also dropped. Practically no changes in the butter and egg markets were recorded this weck. Slight fluctuations in butter prices resulted in the dalry product | being offered this morning at substan- | tially the prices quoted the first of the | week. Current receipt eggs continued at 26 cents throughout the week, hennery and fresh selected stock selling at slightly higher prices. In the fruit and vegetable markets dealers had immense quantities of commodities to offer the trade, both fruits and vegetables, in- cluding almost every varlety that is found in the local market at any time during the year. Quick recovery from the effects of the storm that prevailed along the At- lantic coast early last week resulted in from South Carolina, Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Liberal supplies of cabbage are com- ing from South Carolina, most of the receipts being of the pointed type. Best quality, bashel hampers, sold around 2.35, fon® in fair condition selling at $1.25 and $1.15, while the poorer stock sold as low as $1. Light supplies of old potatoes, the demand being correspondingly light, 150-pound sacks, sold at $225 and $235. New stock came in moderate supply, meeting a light demAnd and steady market. No. 1 Florida stock sold at $7.25 this morning. Other Receipts. Receipts of tomatoes were reported light the past few days. Some much larger tomatoes were received this week from Florida growers, many of them green. Fancy No. 1 counts sold at $6 and $6.50 the past few days, choice counts bringing $4.50 and $5.50. Lima beans, string and stringless beans, peas and squash were among other vegetables received from Florida growers. Beets, carrots and radishes were among vegetable supplies received from Florida and other States in the South. Renewed activity at Municipal Fish Market this week followed the slow receipts during the stormy period, re- celpts showing a decided increase and lower prices increased the demand. In- creased receipts ¢f shad and herring were the interesting features of the week’s market, both fish being in de- mand. Shad have not become very plentiful, however, "according to reports, and prices are not as low as usual at this season. Shad sold at 30 cents a pound for roes and 20 cents for bucks most of the week, while herring dropped to about $1 per 100. Rockfish and perch, recelved with shipments of shad and herring from the lower Potomac and Chesapeake Bay, found ready sale, the former at 30 cents and the latter at 25 cents a pound. Carp, alive, were in demand at 25 cents, and dealers had tile, bluefish, croakers, flounders, sturgeon, trout, had- dock and salmon to offer the trade. Shrimp continued scarce at 40 cents a pound. There were very few crabs re- celved, and oysters also continued scarce, There were plentiful supplies of crab- meat to be had at 75 cents a pound. Frogs were quoted at 50 cents, and turtles, dressed, at 75 cents and $1, MARYLAND COAL (0. BALTIMORE, April 27 (Special) — At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Maryland Coal Co. of West largely increased quantities of marine products reaching here this week. Catches of shad and herring and other fish are expected to further increase the coming week. Retailers were on hand early this morning to get supplies for their week end trade, all looking for first pick of perishable foodstuffs, and wholesalers experiencing no difficulty meeting their demands at prices that have prevailed the past few days.

Watermelons and cantaloupes were added to the already attractive fruit supplies in the local market this week. The watermelons were from South America. They weighed something like 20 pounds each and sold at $1.50. Not many of them were received, however, dealers readily disposing of them to persons able to pay the price. “The melons came more as a show fruit than for consumption,” remarked a dealer, “although they were sweet and possessed the flavor of the melons gathered nearby later in the season.” Mexican growers supplied the limited quantities of cantaloupes found in the local market this week. They were of fair size, and are said to have pos- sessed the genuine cantaloupe flavor. There was no great demand for them, however, at 40 cents each. Salavos and papya, fruits said to pos- sess medicinal gualities, are still to be had in the local market. The former is said to contain 33.8 food material, a larger percentage than ‘is contained _u apples, oranges, lemons, peaches or strawberries. Calavos have been re ceived in much larger quantities this season than during past years, accord- ing to dealers, while growers of papaya are making every effort to interest con- sumers in the fruit. Strawberry Shipments. Heavy shipments of strawberies from North Carolina have been received this week. Big truckloads of the fruit came over the road from the Tarheel State early in the week, approximately 1,200 crates coming Tuesday, additional ship- l:rzm being received each day there- T Truckers soon found the local mar- continued North to other citles, and in some instances, it is stated, trucks from Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey Carolina for supplies, passing through this city on the return trip. A wide recelpt of various grades of the berries. Honeydew, a fruit that always claims attention of consumers, is being re- ceived from Chile. The fruit is of large size and very attractive, but is picked 50 long before time for it to ripen that much of it has to be kept on hand a week or two before becoming edible. Crates of six melons sold around $6 and $7 this morning. Blackberries, product of Florida growers, reached the local market this week, first of the season, being of good size and in splendid condition. They came in refrigerators' and found ready sale at 40 cents a quart box. Pine- apples also have been received this week, chiefly from Porto Rico, and found ready sale. Many of the “pines,” as they are called, were so green when recelved that dealers found it necessary to ripen them. This was done by putting them in rooms where' bananas are ripened. Prices were governed by size and con- dition of the fruit. Bananas are com- ing in the usual large quantities, much of the fruit being of the No. 1 variety. Because of cheap prices of strawberries, it is stated, the demand for bananas probably will lessen. Oranges have been received in mod- erate quantities this week, many of them of larger size than those received earlier in the season and commanding better prices.

Much smaller quantities of grapefruit have been received this week, many of them very small. .Prices ranged from $2.75 to $3.75 a box. Spring greens from nearby farms and truck gardens are being received by wholesalers in limited quantities that are sufficient to more than supply the demand. Spinach and kale, usually leaders in the line of Spring greens, were in greatest demand, the former selling at 75 cents and $1 and the lat- ter at 50 and 75 cents. Dealers had cabbage sprouts at $1.25, mustard at 75 cents and $1, turnip salad and dandelion at $1 and aspa- ragus at 127> and 15 cents.
