FIN ADVANCE IN CURB ISSUES CONTINUES Utility and Aviation Stocks ! Lead in Big Buying ; Movement. BY HARRY H. BECKER. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, May 3.—Advances pre- domhinated in today's trading on the Curb Exchange forjthe same reasons that brought about the rise on the big board. The immediate call money situ- ation was overlooked because of gratifi- cation over the relatively small increase in brokers' loans and because of favor- able trade developments affecting vari- ous stocks. Opening_transactions were in large blocks, with many substantial gains. Later on profit-taking canceled a part of the rise, but, generally speaking, it was well absorbed. The leaders were the utility and aviation stocks, particularly the former. United Corporation made a new high Tight at the start, when 18000 shares sold fractionally under 59. Before noon the gain had been increased. _There wa$ a sensational opening in Electric Investors_at advance of almost 9 points. case realizing made some impression in the later trading. Allled Power & Light, a comparatively newcomer, had a 5-point jump on_the first sale to & new high. The low- priced Arkansas Natural Gas likewise made a new peak price on a 35000- share initial sale. The aviation favorites included Avia- tlon _ Corporation, Fokker Aircraft, Douglas Aircraft and National Aviation. Fokker and Douglas made new highs. Western Air Express advanced a point on the announcement that shareholders of record May 20 are to be offered rights to additional stock at 45 in the ratio of one share for every four now held. High-priced issues received attention. Aluminum Corporation of America was up almost 10 points on top of & 17-point gain Thursday. Today's price was & new high. Procter & Gamble went up over 10 points and J. C. Penny 5 points. The rise in Auburn Automobile to 195, a gain of 10 points, and a new peak, was in response to record-break- ing shipments and the gratifying earn- ings outlook. Other strong Stocks at one time or snother included U. S. Gypsum, Na- tional Screen and Guardian Insurance, Buying of the last was stimulated by the latest earnings statements.

NEW YORK, May 3.—Coal Age re- ports that market conditions in the bituminous coal trade were “conspicu- ously dull” throughout April, despite price reductions. These recessions, made on the higher priced prepared coals used for heating, sent the aver- age quotation to the lowest level reached in years. “The tonnage represented in con- says the publication, “has been disappointingly small, retail- ers as well as industrial consumers being loath to renounce their bargain-hunting ventures in the open market. “The index number of spot bitumi- nous prices for April was 13914, com- pared with 148 in March. The weight- ed average spot price for April was| $1.68'4 a ton, fo.b. mines, as against $1.79 in the preceding month. “Curtailment of production was noted in a number of instances, voluntary in some cases and because of floods in the mines in others. Even so, output of bituminous so far this year is ap- proximately 12,500,000 tons in excess of that for the corresponding period last year. The stabilizing influence of the lake trade has not made itself felt thus far, and shipments are only just get- ting under full headway. “In the last fortnight there was a slight revival of interest in anthracite by retailers desirous of anticipating the advance effective May 1. Nut was somewhat in the lead in demand, fol- lowed by stove. The steam sizes were firm, due in large degree to the reduced output of the larger size: s g CHICAGO DAIRY filfll‘.

BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Btar. NEW YORK, May 3.—The farmers and most of the industrial concerns have about completed their Spring bor- rowing. There has not been a notice- able shortage of credit, but some con- cerns have paid higher rates than they counted on for their accommodations. However, the general outlook is so bright that the possible returns from the programs of expansion, to which most of the borrowed funds will be devoted, promise far to outweigh the burden of the interest rates. While this is true to a large extent of the industrialists and farmers, the public utility concerns still have pro- grams in view which will require large sums. They are, however, in better position to raise these sums now than they have been for years. The volume of money available for all purposes promises to be large, for, while Euro- pean nations have raised their discount rates to keep gold at home, the attrac- tion of the New York call money mar- ket is likely to draw at least $200,000,- 000 in foreign gold to these shores. The fact that borrowings have passed their peak does mot mean that indus- trial concerns are slackening their ex- pansion and improvement programs. They are putting in new and improved machinery daily and cutting costs thereby and will continue to do this so long as the volume of demand re- mains anywhere near its presant levels. ‘The reports from the steel industry show that this demand still is extraor- dinarily high in that key industry. Steel plants are turning out more goods than their rated capacity in most in- stances and still are reporting opera- tions between 90 and 95 per cent. The better situated companies have pro- duced 50 per cent more so far this year than in the splendid season of 1928, The automobile industry is doing the largest business done in any pre- vious Spring. May is likely to witness another record-breaking motor car out- put, but this demand which inspires the volume, of production is far from evenly distributed. Some concerns are not feeling the effects of the apparent- 1y large prosperity. The same is true of the airplane manufacturers, although this is a business which promises to grow faster even than radio. Conditions in the rubber and tire industry are very satisfactory. Agricul- tural implement sales so far this year are 12 to 15 per cent heavier than ever before in a similar period. Industrial chemicals are in greater demand than for years.” What cotton textiles will do in the next few months depends largely on the raw cotton crop situation. Many MAY 3, 1929. excellent judges anticipate a decided advance in raw cotton prices despite recent favorable weather and heavy acreage. GAIN IN CIGARETTE SMOKING IS SHOWN U. 8. Tax Figures Reveal Increase in Number of Tobacco Users. Cigarette smoking is growing by leaps and bounds in the United States, ac- cording to Treasury tax figures. While the staid Government statistics of the Bureau of Internal Revenue do not give any reason for the increase, it 1s admitted by representatives of tobac- co firms that not only are man smokers on the increase, but women, who are being appealed to in national advertising, have added hugely to business of the clgarette makers. The Government's figures show that during the nine-month period ending March 31, cigarettes were taxed $247,- 160,930, an increase over the same period of the previous year of $23,632,682. On the contrary, use of all ather forms of tobacco decreased during the same period, according to the Federal tax returns. All tobacco taxes totaled $315,936,361, an increase of $21,202,102 over the same period of the previous year. taxes aggregated $46,049,333, an increase of $12,109,115. Of the stamp taxes more than half were pald in New York upon capital stock sales and transfers. Treasury of- ficlals attributed this to the great amount of speculation in the stock market during the nine months. FINANCIAL COTTON PRICES GAIN. NEW YORK, May 3 (Special).— Though an easier tone prevailed in to- day's cotton market for the first three hours on the failure of frost to pene- trate the interior of the cotton belt, extremely low temperatures in lal States brought reports of replanting being necessary, which started a sharp ad- vance during the afternoon. All months sold above yesterday’s best figures end- ing with a gain of 7 to 15 points on the day. Spots were advanced 10 points to 19.75. Close. 10.50 o] S28333%° January Mareh . X WHEAT CLOSES LOWER. CHICAGO, May 3 (#).—Scantiness of exportdemand for North American wheat did much today to nullify bullish effects of a cut in domestic rail rates on ex- port grain. Besides, it was announced officially that Canadian roads would meet promptly any cut by United States lines, and would possibly go further in reducing rates to Canadian Atlantic ports. Continued large deliveries on Chicago May wheat contracts today tended to carry the May price to a wider discount under July. Wheat closed weak, 73 to 1'% net lower; corn, % to 7% downw: oats, 1 to %a% off, and provisions unchanged to a setback of 12. ikt oo ] ) 228332y WHE!

Mr. Royall, who gave this statement, resides at 647 Park Road, has lived in | Washington for 15 years and has been | employed by the Street Railway Com- pany for the past eleven years.

I had been sick for about eight months and medicine I used gave me no relief at all. There were times when I simply could not work, my stomach was in such a condition that I could hardly eat a thing; in fact, as I sald before, I practically lived on bread and soft boiled eggs, my stomach was badly swollen, seemed to be full of bile and I had sharp shoot- ing pains through the chest and around the heart. My entire system seemed to be full of poison, legs and arms ached, head hurt and I felt mis- ereble. It has been many months now since I first used this great rem- edy and I can truthfully say that since I used it I have never suffered as I did before faking it.

Con- tinuing, she said: “Yes, before my husband used this medicine he was in bad shape and for weeks at a time he was unable to work, complained all the time of a burning pain in his stomach, was continually belching up sour bile, had pains in his side, also back, headaches, and for years he had suffered from chronic constipa- tion. He sald he always felt tired and worn out and I could see that he was losing in weight. He used £ number of tonics, also all kinds of laxatives, but they failed to give the desired results. We saw so much in the papers about this medicine that he made up his mind to try it. The first bottle showed good results so we bought more, and now after using three bottles he is simply like a new man. He looks like a different man and says he feels better than in years, no longer complains of his stomach, pains in side and back are gone, he works every day and I am thankful indeed that we were fortunate enough to learn of Miller's Herb Extract. It is one medicine that has proven to be just as advertised and I do not hesitate to recommend it to all my friends.” You don’t need any pills with this medicine, it is a real medi- cine within itself and guaranteed to give results.
