By Assoclated Press

New York. May 1l.-Bonds were hesitant and dull today. but in the main reflected more stability than the stock list. Virtaall. all of the Liberties closed at nominal reces- sions and the only foreign issue to show firmness or strength were the Latin Americans, especially Mexican 4s and Uruguay Ss.
 Local utilities gave way to further realizing sales, notably Brooklyn Rapid Transit 7S and Consolidated Gas 7s. Interborough Metropolitan 41as also easing.
 More than the usual number of railway issues were traded in, but the broader scope was occasioned by increased selling. St. Pc,l issues, also those of Iowa Central, Peoria and Eastern Illinois. Missouri, Kan sss and Texas, Atchison and Erie were under pressure. Total sales par value. $16.475,090.

SHOALS GAN MAKE 100000 TONS OF
 FERTILIZER SWAIN
Phosphorus Company Official Says Finished Product Can Be Produced in Large
 Quantities
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age Herald
 ROO Daytdson RufIdiug.


 Washington, May 1.-(special9- Two million tons of finished ferti- lizer can be economically produced at Muscle Shoals per annum, accord ing to Theodore Swann, pre,4dent of the Federal Phosphorus company, of Birmingham and Anniston, who came to Washington today.
 Tomorrow morning Mir Swann will appear before the Senate committee on agriculture and demonstrate that statement. His company has al- ready revolutionized to certain ex- tent the fertilizer industry and ac- cording to his statement tonight tho same can be accomplished on a much larger scale at Muscle Shoals.
 "There has been more misinfor- nation given regarding Muscle Shoals than any other subject before Congress in many years" said MT. Swann. T intend to make such simple statement tomorrow that the senators will ask themselves why they hadn't though it out before. Given the machinery available at ni- Ai o I0 pAaAl ANO. EubJCdI 0lliN NO minor modification. and quantities of cheap water power. finished fertilized can be produced economi-l cally and in commercial quantities without great effort. I would say that one-third the present predue ton of the United States or about two million tons per annum could be produced.
 Appears Fer Manners
 T am appearing solely in the fn- terest of fertilizer production and the American farmer who can be furnished a fertilizer at reduced prices. If Henry Ford secures Muscle Shoals. he could produce fer t:lizer. If the government retains the plants, the government can pro- duce fertilizer"
 Mir. Swann said that in his opin- ion the oyanamid process was obso- lescent and that within few years another process capable of further revofutionizing nitrate production would be in general use. This idea is also entertained by Senator Nor- ris and constitutes one of his req sons foN hesitating for turning over Muscle Shoals to private interests
