The industrial index remained fairly steady as a result of a three - point gain early in the week, But the volume was low-- the lowest in recent months-- illustrating the attractiveness of the bond issues. Further large-scale corporate and government bond financing during the next few weeks is ex- pected to draw more potential stock money away from the mai- kets. . However, the industrial section had one feature this week, Cana- dian Collieries, a western firm with large coal and timber hold- ings. It was the firm's timber land which attracted the atten- tion. The stock was quoted at slightly more than $7.00 two weeks ago and moved ahead to a high of $11.12 this week and closed at $11, a jump of about 40 per cent. It began to move after rumors that an American ply- wood firm has offered to pur- chase the company, presumably bechuse of its timber holdings. A total of 189,554 of the company's Five Sessions 'Of Dull Trade common shares were turned over on the Toronto board this week. COCKSHUTT LOSES Another industrial, Cockshutt Plow, took a beating. The stock, selling under pressure, went down $4.50. It began to decline after the company announced plans for buying a Florida real estate company in exchange for 380,000 Cockshutt shares, In the mining section coppers fluctuated, mostly upwards, and senior issues were fairly steady. The junior stocks showed some gains, especially the Chibouga- mau issues. International nickel crossed the $100 - a - share mark after an- nouncing plans for a 2-for-1' stock split and increasing its dividend 10 cents (U.S.) to 75 cents, On the oil front, refining oils lost ground in dull trading and western oils were all but dor- mant as little news developed from the National Energy Board on gas exportations, Index changes at Toronto: In- dustrials up .55 at 510.90; golds off 31 at 88.00; base metals off 3.02 at 166.16; and western oils off 1.37 at 99.30. Index changes at Montreal: Banks off 0.04 at 56.13; utilities off 1.8 at 138.3; industrials off 2.4 at 303.9; combined off 22 at 248.7; papers off 6.0 at 430.5; and golds off 0.20 at 79.72. Florida Deal Detail Asked NEW YORK (CP)--Benno M. Bechhold, president of Cockshutt Farm Equipment Lid., said Fri. day plans to buy out' a Florida real estate firm are subject to the completion of legal details. The Toronto Stock Exchange asked Cockshutt Thursday for de tails of its proposed purchase of all the issued capital of N.XK. Winston-Sanson Florida Corp. in exchange for 380,000 Cockshutt shares. In a prepared statement Bech- hold said he wished to make it clear that the purchase is subject to title insurance on the land, the delivery of certified audited statements covering ownership of the land and the preparation and approval of formal contracts. Bechhold said his announce ment to shareholders at the an- nual meeting in Brantford Tues day "was to give effect to the board's policv of keeping share- holders informed on important matters." The deal involves 21,200 acres of land in central Florida with an appraised value of $17,300,000. The value of another 2,610 acres has not been appraised. DISTANCE DETERRED HIM VANCOUVER (CP)--One look down and the 23-year-old man decided against jumping off the Lions Gate bridge here Sunday. Police arrived on the bridge as the man was getting into his car. He told them he had planned to jump off but changed his mind after looking over the railing at the water--230 feet below. New Issue Surprises By THE CANADIAN PRESS The Canadian bond markets got a surprise this week with the re- lease Monday of a $300,000,000 government of Canada bond is- sue. The new issue was split into two parts--a $100,000,000 5% per cent Oct. 1, 1962 maturity and a $200,000,000 5% per cent April 1, 1963 maturity. The 5% per cent 1962 issues now are quoted at $99.85. The recent CNR 5% per cent bonds have remained fairly steady with the 1964 maturity 20 cents higher at $98.50 and the 1958 maturity 75 cents higher at $97.00. Tightness caused by the flood of 2% per cent April 1, 1960 bonds from corporate holders led to available day money being soon taken up. The treasury bill this week came at 4.76 per cent as against 4.60 per cent last week. The 182- day treasury bills came at 4.99 per cent as against 4.91 per cent NEW YORK (AP)--Automobile and steel production and retail sales in the United States dipped this week but confidence that 1960 will be a good business year held strong. The stock market had its ups and downs. Some observers said a major worry was failure of new car sales to show as big an in- crease as expected. Retail auto sales picked up slightly in the final third of Jan- vary, when 173,000 new US. built cars were delivered. Never- theless, the industry cut output this week to an estimated 166,000, the lowest of the new year, from 173,231 last week. Chrysler president .L. Col- bert said he still expects the in- dustry to sell 7,000,000 cars this year but added that "sales are going to have to explode some- time this spring to do it." The steel industry kept its eyes on automobile sales as the major indicator of what its own busi- ness is going to be in the second quarter of this year. It was cer- the week previous. tain that production would run at Auto And Steel Production Dips a high level through the first quarter. But with inventories quickly being built up in other in- dustries, the auto makers hold the answer. Production this week was esti mated at 2,687,000 tons, dows from 2,717,000 last week. Retail trade finally quit its steady climb, slipping back from last week's volume but remain ing slightly ahead of a year age. Poor weather in some areas and an end to clearance sales were blamed. Buyers got some good news when wholesale food prices |dropped sharply. Another welcome development was agreement by the railroad industry and the Brotherhood of locomotive Engineers to submit their wage dispute to binding as bitration. This wiped out the prospect of a strike. In Washington, Commerce See- retary Frederick Mueller said business got off to a good start in January and that the U.S. is enjoying "good, steady, tent growth." WHITBY AND DISTRICT Hillcrest H&S Makes Visit To Variety Village The Hillcrest Home and School Association instead of its regular monthly meeting visited Variety Village, school for handicapped boys. The group met at the school at 7 p.m. and then by cars went to Variety Village. Arthur Robertson and the boys under his direction took the par- ents in groups to make a tour of the school. D. Catherwood, prin- cipal of Hillcrest school, on be- half of the association, thanked Mr. Robertson for the most in- teresting and enlightening tour. One of the boys responded and Benevolent Lodge Welcomes Member Benevolent Rebekah Lodge No. 132 held its regular meeting last Wednesday evening in the IOOF Hall. The meeting came to order with grand sister Grace Harris, presiding, assisted by vice grand sister Greta Ca One visitor was welcomed, sis- ter, Martha Ward, member of Queen Esther Lodge of Saska- toon, who is mow taking up res- idence in Whitby.

Hunter, Ed. Mulligan, Rev. J. Ward, Mrs. Ann Kennedy and Mrs. Marjorie McAvoy. New York Affecting Trade Here By WLLUAM P. SNEAD bara H. Crang Co. Against a background of per sistent liquidation in the New York market, which brought prices there to their lowest level of the year, almost every grou) in the Toronto market gave ground this week. The standout exception was International Nick el which held above the 100 mark but papers, refining oils and even the coppers all gave ground. Steels were also under pressure, mirroring the decline in major steel stocks in the U.S. Reports of increasing inventories of cars in dealer's hands, now about 775,000 units, is cating a shadow over the prospects for continued high level steel production, Just how materially New York affects Toronto was told by the poor price action in the copper group despite a general back- ground of good news items. There is the threat of strikes interrupt- ing production at two Chilean mines that turned out better than 55,000 tons of copper last year. (The current lahor contract ex- pires April 30t*.,. The stortage of copper in Lon don has sent prices upwards there again to 34 cents. And, in response to this, the Canadian price of copper was advanced one half cent after the market closed Friday. The combination of poor genm- eral market action and lack of news from Ottawa on the long- awaited decisions on gas exports kept gas pipeline stocks under pressure and with decisions on gas export policy still some time away, traders showed little im- terest in this group. Mining stocks were virtually unchanged throughoiuit the week. Exploration activity is increasing in the north country and a num- ber of properties are reporting quite good results. But, until a real recovery movement gets under way in New York, traders will likely 'stay on the sidelines".
