NEW YORK, May 2.—Those who sold {the new American I. G. Chemical 5%; iver cent convertibles short between 95 |and 96 last Friday on the assumption |'that this issue would drag as man | others have done. and that its rela. | tionship to Germany at the present | time was a bearish feature, paid heavily { today for their poor judgment. | 'The bonds by 1 and 2 point advances went to 110'; during the first hour of trading, after closing yesterday at | 1021z, When the speculative demand | had been satisfied they dropped back | |to 104, which was still a 10-point pre- mium over the subscription price. It a long while since any new bond offer- | | ing_has made money so rapidly for | | buyers as this one. | Other convertibles were quite strong. { The American Telephone 4’.s rallied | |oves 2 points. There were fractional | gains in International Telephone 4!y | Atchlson 4!;s and -American Interna- | tional 535, ~Dodge 6s recovered a point | of ‘their~recent decline of 2!, points. | The Itallan convertibles did not do so well, with Pirelli 7s off 11, points, | | " The renewal rate for money of 10| |per ‘centindicated a strong demand | {2ven with the bulk of the May financing covered. It had a tendency to restrict purchases in high-grade bonds, al- | though prices held steady. Several of | the United States Government issues were a little higher, but the short term | Treasury certificates weer all selling | close to' & 5 per cent basis | Among the inactive rails and in- | dustrials there was lack of definite |trend. Chicago and Eastern Illinois 5s Chicago Great Western 4, snd Missouri Pacific 4s were higher, but | Erie refunding 8s, Prisco 4!5s and Rock Island 4',s were lower. The Bethle- {hem Steel issues were strong, with the | purchase money 5s up a point. There | were fairly broad markets again in , Utilities Power & Light |515s, Midvale 'Steel 5s, Armour 5 | National Dairy Products 5'ss and Rem- | | ington Rand 57:s. The foreign list was dull. Specialists | in it said that it was difficult to dispose | |of bonds except at greater concessions | |than holders would consider. One | source of support, namely Europenni banks and insurance companies, has | been withdrawn recently pending a clearer outlook in the reparations nego- tiations. The high money rates in Ger- | many have also made the returns on | German dollar bonds less attractive than they have been for the past two years. HEADS PULLMAN CO. CHICAGO, May 2 (#).—David A.

An interesting feature was the plen- | tiful supplies and cheap prices of hard | crabs, the crustaceans selling at 85 a barrel, about as cheap as they have| been at any time the past several years. Dealers also had soft crabs from the| Potomac and Chesapeake Bay, as well | as from North Carolina, and they wcre quoted around $1.50 a dozen. They also had plentiful supplies of crab meat from Mississippi, the lower Potomac and Chesapeake Bay. Prices ranged from 25 cents for claw meat to 60 cents a | pound for special lump stock. Other Suplies Plentiful. Lobsters, also plentiful, were offered at 50 cents a pound. There was prac- | tically no shrimp to be had. Frogs, | received from Louisiana, were quoted | at 40 cents, and snapping turtles, alive, were 10 cents a pound. Sturgeon, more | plentiful and cheaper than usual, was quoted at 30 cents a pound. Roe shad were 20 and bucks 15 cents a pound. Herring, quoted as $2 per| 100, were o plentiful that packers were | cutting them and offering the roe at $2 a gallon of 10 pounds. Shad roe | | sold at 60 and 75 cents, Prices of other fish were quoted as| | tollows: Rockfish, 25; perch, 10; cod, 10; catfish, 5: spotted trout. 20; blue- fish, 25; haddock, 5: fillet of haddock, flounders, 8; halibut. 25 salmon, Boston mackerel, 15; Spanish mack- 15. Dealers had fairly good supplies of oysters, shell stock selling at $2 a bushel. Clams were scarce at $2 per 100. A continued firm condition of the egg market was reported this morning. Receipts are not very heavy, dealers re- ported, much of the supplies going to packing houses. Prices were slightly ad- | vanced. Butter prices continued without change.
