RICHARDSON, Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, September 17.—A bud- get of $38,417,000 of new bond issues caused continued unsettlement in the bond market today. It was only the old investment favorites of the highest type that managed to hold their prices against the competition of the new of- ferings, which were also mostly of the prime type. Money rates were Jn- changed. Volume was around the $8,- 000,000 mark for the day. Small gains made at the opening by Atchison general 4s, Canadian National Frisco “A™ 4s, Union Pacific first 4s, Chesapeake & Ohio 41,5 and Phila- delphia Co. 5s, while Utilities Power & Light 525 were well held. Fractional declines were shown by Baltimore & Ohio first 4s, New York Central 4s, Pennsylvania 4155, Northern Pacifit ds, Great Northern 7s and American Tele- phone 51s. The losses, however, still left these bonds close to their best levels of the year and reflected a very small volume of selling. Convertibles were irregular, mirroring a dull stock market. American 1. G. Chemical 5';s, Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron 6s, Southern Pacific 4'.s International Telephone 4'.s and War- ner Bros. Pictures 6s made small ad- vances, while Baltimore & Ohio con- vertible 4':s, Chicago & Northwestern 43, Texas Corporation 5s, General Theaters Equipment 6s and Leow's 6s dropped slightly. Nor was there any definite trend to fluctuations among the junior obliga- tions of the carriers, the semi-specula- tive industrials, or the better secured but higher yielding industrials. St. Paul adjustments and St. Paul 55 were under pressure. There were also small declines in Erie general lien 4s, International Great Northern adjustments, and West- ern Maryland 4s.

BY J. C. ROYLE. The war cry of the American people has ceased to be “When do we eat?” It | is now more likely that the universal question will be “Where do we eat? The per capita amount of food con- Sumed by all the people in the world is gradually lessening. This, accord- ing to Government scientists, is due in | part to a better balanced ration. But the fact remains that the farmers and | stock growers have to face the probabil- ity that, while the population of the world will grow, individual consumption of food will decline. That is one of the things behind the urgent efforts of the Farm Board and the Department of | Agriculture to induce the agricultural | population to hold to a strict acreage | and keep down production. Style is responsible to a great extent for the drop in food consumption. In | the case of the feminine population, the | fad for slimness had its influence espe- cially on consumption of foods with a predominance of starches and carbo- hydrates such as wheat, bread, potatoes, milk, cheese and butter. Restaurants are basing their menus on the new demands and the heavy | food items are now less prominent. There has been a large Increase in lunch stands and wayside booths which handle only a few items of food. Once the family starting on a Sunday out- ing would not have thought of leaving home without heavy baskets loaded with all sorts of comestibles which could be prepared in advance, as well as frying pans and stew pots designed for camp- fire use. Today they depend on the “hot dog” stands, roadhouses and hoteis. In the cities time is the essence which flavors the eating contract. With only a few minutes to devote to the midday meal, that meal is necessarily light, or, at least, composed of a few items ready to serve. Most white collar workers would rather spend their time and money in the shops or the movies than in the restaurants or at the lunch counters. Another factor in the situation 1is that more more people ride and fewer walk. This is due to the expansion of the cities, the establishment of in- dustrial plants, farther from the resi- | dential districts and the wide use by | workers of all classes of the automo- bile and bus. The tissues once burned up by the pedestrianism of the popu- | lation now no longer need replacement | by heavy foods. The main reaton for the however, is that America and nations ‘are working more_ with their heads and less with their hands. The severe physical labor which a large por- tion of the population used to perform each day now is done by a relatively small number, and machines are taking the place of muscles. Brain workers have found that heavy meals left their minds stodgy without the physical ef- fort required to burn them into energy. The passing of the dinner pail has also marked the passing of the heavy Cl N change, other Py P food is recording that development. Officials of the Department of Agri- culture, seeing this development in progress, are urging agriculturists to and sell those products which are tyle” rather than concentrate all their efforts on the old beef, mutton, pork, bread and potatoes diet.

NEW YORK, September 17.—A slight but noticeable seasonal improvement in the current demand for hardware throughout the country was evident during the past week, Hardware Age iwll say tomorrow in its weekly market sum- mary. The advancing Fall season has been the principal influence lending im- petus to trade activity. The first cold spell will serve to fur- ther accelerate the demand, and & gradual upturn in business is expected during the balance of the year. Dealers are delaying ordering Winier and holi- day merchandise until the last minute, probably in view of a somewhat easier price trend and uncertainty as to what the future may hold. As a result, it appears that an avalanche of orders will materialize in a rush, resulting in shortages and delayed shipments, es- pecially if dealers postpone their pur- chases much longer. Despite an easier price tendency few price revisions of any consequence are being made. For the most part, prices have firmed to some extent at the low levels which have prevailed for some time. Collections retain a fairly satisfactory status. ‘ bar- | | Peru 6s°60. Peru 6s '61 | Peru 7s 59 Poland 7s Poland 8550, ... Porto Alegre 85 '61.
