BONDS WEAK;
OTHER ISSUES FIRM

NEW YORK, September 27.-It was
not to be expected that liberty bonds,
which had gone up from three to
three and one-half points last week
a wonderful rise in such q space OF
high prices without some reaction.
There was heavy selling this morn
ing on the one hand by dealers who
had profits to take and on the other
hand by holders close enough to the
scene of operations to feel that 1t
would do to sell temporarily in the
expectation Of being able to buy
back on a setback.
This selling carried quotations down
so that with the course of the day
the fourth Az s were off nearly point
and the third ANS were back to 90, as
5000. Other members Of the gov
eminent group disclosed very little
feature For the most part quota
tions were the same as those of Sat-
urday.
The French loan was bit firmer at
1O1M, while the Belgian 7hs at 90
and the Swiss ss at 1921 were the
same as they were at the close of
last week.
Industrial Bonds Firm.
1t was interesting to note that in
dustriai bonds were not affected by
the weakness in industrial stocks.
The American Smelling first SIS ac-
tually made new high in spite of
the depression in the metal shares.
These bonds sold at IS. receding a
point later in the day. Likewise. with
all the pressure against the leather
stocks, the Central Leather SIS were
up a half point to 80. which was their
recent high.
The railway list was again very
strong, as it was bound to be in view
of the great strength in the low
priced railway stocks. st. Louis
Southwestern consolidated As jumped
nearly two points to 66. This was
the main feature of this section of
the market. New high records were
made by most of the st. Louis and
San Francisco issues. The income IS.
which are about to sell ex the annual
coupon of per cent, made a new
high above So, and the 6 per cent ad-
justments got up to a new high of
6SA. Peoria and Eastern incomes
moved forward again to 81. Southern
Railway 5s were in demand at their
high of S6la.

GERMANYS FINANCES
IN DEPL0RABLE STATE
Present Economic Situation Re-
fleets Loss Of Territory, Colo
MES and War Population.

BRUSSELS. September 81 (by the
Associated Press).-German reports
to the financial conference in progress
condition of the country to the length
of the war. Germany's decline in
financial strength Is shown clearly by
the fact that the national debt of the
empire proper. exclusive of those of
5000. 100000 marks before the war to
100000. 100000 marks. The govern
ment's budget estimates for 1920 put
receipts at 10000. 000,0 600 marks, OPP
posed to estimated demands of 10000
100000 marks, thus leaving deficit of
1900, 100000 marks.
The report also points out that IT,
oo0.00o.o0 marks were paid by Ger
many in 1919, according to the terms
of the peace treaty, mostly for repara-
tions, and 25.000000.000 marks have
been provided for in the budget of
1920 for the same purpose
Loss of territory, Of population. of
iron production and merchant ship
ping are dwelt on. and attention is
called to the fact that Germany's re-
lation to the economic situation of
the world has been greatly changed
through the loss of her colonies.
Balance Of Trade Unfavorable.
A table annexed to the report shows
ing products furnished an account of
reparations, exceeded imports by
600,000,000 marks in April and 1,00O,-
100000 marks in May. The balance of
trade against Germany in 1919 was
$4,000, 100000 marks.
The report explains that the in
crease is due essentially to the depre-
citation in the value of the mark
The unfavorable situation of Ger
man finances also is reflected to some
extent in the steadily growing paper
circulation, which mas risen from
about 5000. 00e,000 marks in 1914 to
72,000,0 100000 marks in August, 1920.
The exchange situation is another
symptom of the deplorable financial
and economic situation in Germany,
the report adds.

LITTLE HAT OF NAVY BLUE
Attractive Straw Headpiece Has Brim
Of Taffeta; Decorated With
Raffia Flowers.

There is a small hat Of navy blue
straw with rolled brim Of taffeta, also
decorated with raffia flowers, AID It
is a very smart accompaniment to the
tailored tricOtine suit. Green, orange,
rose and blue are blended beautifully
into gay posies, and wooden beads in
yellow form the center of the flowers.
No spring would be complete with
out its quota of flOwer-laden hats, bat
this season the flowers grace the trans
parent hat Of net or silk hair braid. A
chic model that sets well down on
the head shows a narrow brim, frilled
at the edge and worn to conceal, yet
reveal, the eyes coquettishly. All the
old-time flowers that breathe with
charm lend their fragrance and love
illness to this hat and mark it a sue
cess for late spring.
