NEW YORK CURB MARKET
Received by Private Wire Direct to The Star Office
111 44 11,1,1 AM K. HKKKEII V\4. <
NKW YORK. September 30.—Irreg- 1
ular price movements characterized 1
today’s dealings in the curb market
and it was difficult to detect a definite 1
trend.
An outstanding incident was the
scarcity of offerings of the new Con
solidated Gas of Baltimore shares at ■
top prices around 38*£. Strength!
was sympathetic with the demand
for the old shares on the stock cx- 1 ■
change which also sold at a new high
record. Buying was based on belief
that in view of the company’s large
earnings, distributions would be in- 1
creased in the near future.

chase a new issue of $50,000,060 6 per
cent Mexican bonds, secured by a
pledge of oil taxes.
A member of a hanking house here

suggested that it was unusual that a
bond iseiue df such proportions should
be handled by any save a syndicate
of large banks or investment firms.

The change will affect 10 of the fac

AMERICANS REPORT
RUSSIA STILL CHAOTIC
S((("' at Dispatch to The Star
NLW Y( *RK. Hi plomber 30. Amer
ican Business ni"ti recently returned
'tom Itu si ■ report i -;r at commun
istic reaction aga'-st the new eco
nomic policy ins-il uted by Lenin.
S nee tin- death o, f.enin. says the
Guaranty Trust Company, the Com
munist leaders have organized new
opposition to any effort to expand
private trading or ownership so ef
fectively that it is reported private
business activities of any kind are
made almost impossible. The result
is that most of the ground gained by
business last year has been lost, and
the Russian problem remains as
great as ever, with conditions still
most unpromising.
The lack of capital Is th« basi 4
difficulty and there seems to be no
way of meeting it. In view of the con
flict between Soviet principles and
policies and those of the only coun
tries from- which investment capital
might come.
