NEW YORK BONDS
SUFFER SEVERELY
Liberties Thrown on Market.
New Haven Issues Were
in a Slump.

NEW YORK, December 13.-The
bond list felt the strain OF the dis
ordered stock market more than on
out in all directions. 1t was not
very pronounced in purely investment
issues, but even among these there
was plenty of evidence that blocks Of
bonds were being thrown overeby in
terests caught in the terrific slump in
stocks. Liberty bonds were heavily
sold and there was talk that this sell
ing was coming out not only from
stock market victims. but also from
farmers and business men who were
getting out of their liberties in order
to be in better position to hold their
deprecated products. Still. fair buy
ing power was encountered and the
liberties were not off at all serious
ly on the day.
In the foreign bonds. like the Bel
gian TVS, there were losses of a quar-
ter to half point. Some Of the re-
Gently fioated equipment issues, which
all along have stood up very well,
were inclined to soften. The New
York Central is were typical case
in this group. They were down to
1O1. as against 1O1h on Saturday and
high of 1929 last week.
A fair instance of what was evil
IDENTIFY liquidation occurred in Man
haitian Elevated As, when a large
block of them sold at 80. bringing
them down to an per cent basis.
Yet, the interest on these bonds is abb
solutely secure regardless of what is
done in the fare question and it is in.
conceivable that they would be dis
turbed even should there be read
justment of capital account.
The sensation Of the day was the
break in the New Haven Issues. This
followed directly the news that the
New Haven company had delivered
its first and refunding mortgage to
the trustee in New York. which fore
shadows early financing. The pro-
vision is that not more t1han $780,
900 Of the new bonds are to be put
out, $SO,O0O,0 900 to refund the debt to
the government and $15,000,000 to
provide for new equipment and bet
terments. The New Haven As were
offered down 10 points before they
attracted buyers from IS TO So. The
debenture 6s quickly fell to so. at
which figure they were down nearly
two points from Saturday. and IA
points from the high. Of less than
month ago.
Traction bonds were relatively
firrner and there was some recovery
in the Third Avenue adjustments.
Among the industrials extreme weak
moss continued in the Goodrich IS.
which, after their tWo-point break of
Saturday, fell another two points and
were offered at SO. The new Con-
solidated Gas IS were offered at 90.
as against 100, the subscription price.

to the issue. A similar emphasis
has also been placed on the proposed
use of substitutes. Regardless OF
what the more remote future may
hold. the present fuel problem will
not be solved by the substitution OF
fuel oil for coal. The production of
electricity from water-power neces-
states elaborate installations at a
time. when capital is costly and diff
ficult to secure, and extensive wa
ter-power projects require years fol
completion. Wood and peat are but
poor substitutes for coal, and for
many uses Ignite likewise is highly
unsatisfactory. Modern industry
has been built on coal, and it is de-

production and probable output had
