BOND LIST SHOWS
.. IRREGULAR ACTION

NEW YORK, August 15.-Strength
in railway bonds and irregularity
with more or less weakness in the
industriais made today's bond mar
ket a counterpart of. what was hap
pening on the stock exchange.
The advance in the rails was very
general, with the exception of Erie
convertible Bs which were down over
a point. and the New Haven IS. which
were off nearly a point,
Atchison general As. after holding
at 77h during the latter part OF
last week, when other things were
coming down. advanced to 77is
cag0. Burlington and Quincy general
As at 79. Big Four IS at 80. Northern
Pacific IS at 56z. and st. Louis and
San Francisco incomes at 81 Y. Chi
Cag0 Union. Station 6l2s had not
able rise of more than point and
a half to 1875 u, and Southern Pacific
refunding As were up half point.
In the traction group there was a half
point rise in Hudson and Manhattan
adjustment IS. while Market Street
railway consolidated Is broke a point
to a new low level of 691a
Not Finally Placed.
The trouble with these bonds seems
to be not an earnings trouble. but a
question of lack of seasoning. Ap-
parentIy, they have not been thoroughly
digested by the ultimate investors. and
the unsettled financial conditions iH
general have forced upon the market
some of them that were not securely
held.
Chile Copper IS and Cuban American
SIS both had a half-point rally, and Du-
quesne 6s. which had sold off last week
from 93 to 81 n. got across 80 again.
Telephone issues were strong, the North
western Bell Is equaling their preyi-
Gus high and the New York Teie=
phone 6s gaining half point to 81
Sinclair Oil TVS did better. while
L. S. Realty 5s were dealt in at their
high price of S8.
These Were Heavy.
On the other hand, weakness broke
out again IN Cuba, Cane Sugar con-
vertible IS and U. S. Rubber issues;
especially the ia per cent bonds
were affected, as they were not on
Saturday. by. the weakness in the
stocks. anticipating a very unfavor-
able report for the half year. Marine
IS and Central Leather 5s were heavy
and SO We're the Packard Motor IS.
City of Copenhagen 5as were
strong up to rs. Japanese Is equgled
their high of ~. while Denmark SIS
at 102-wers a point up freH last
W eek's low, although still q point
under their recent high. Belgian
bonds were helped by the decision
giving them priority in the first pay
ment on German indemHitiss Of @

Call Money.
A somewhat freer supply of call
money appeared following the i'm
provement in the week end bank
statsment, but the renewal remained
at per cent, and rates on time
money and commercial paper were
unchanged. The feature in the for
eign exchange was again the fluctua-
tions in German marks, which got
down again to their lowest since last
autumn What little strength was
impaired to this part of the market
month ago by the granting of
credits to Germany by commercial in
serests in this country and in Eng

tinued huge o4tpOur of new paper

yersing ahd demanding to the cir
cult court fora new trial in the

with the killing of DR.. r. b.
Wamack, and were found guilty
of voluntary manslaughter by the
iurv, A new trial was asked but
was overrullkd by Judge Brown,
and Stacks attorneys, Charles S.
May6eld. q b. c. Witt and John
S. Shambli took an appeal to
the supreme court. The principle
grounds on which the ATTORNEYS
insisted ona new trial was that
the circuit Judge sefused to charge
the law of selt.defense. MIR. Witt
and Mr.. May6eld argued the case
before the supreme court.
On account of the prominence

Judge Brown is rendered incom-
petant to trv the case again and a
