GAIN LITTLE BY CUT.

NEW YORK, June 2-Although the
horizontal reduction of 10 per cent
in freight rates will help to improve
business, National Retail Dry Goods,
in a review Of the subject, sees but
little immediate advantage to con-
sumers Of merchandise sold by dry
goods and department stores. The
association estimates freight charges
on general merchandise lines amount
to not more than per cent Of the
cost Of the goods, Of which the con-
signee bears approximately one-third
and the consignor two-thirds. Only
about one-third of the merchandise
is shipped, by freight This would
leave a possible reduction to the
stores of one-third OF per cent Of
the cost of the goods, the association

TRACTION ISSUES

IN BOND TRADING
Distinctly Mixed Tone
Combines With Strong
And Weak Spots.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Contirfued
irresularity among the fractions,
with the spread of softness to
parts of the list not reached on

ket a distinctly mixed tone with
its numerous weak and strong
spots. Interborough's refunding IS
again suffered loss. with fresh
concern on the part of holders
with regard to the outcome of the
company's new finance plans, and
got as low as 71h at the days
poorest level. This compares with
their high on yesterday of 73&
and their Saturday close at 74%.
Along with weakness in the Inter-
boroughs. the Interborough- Metro

bonds closed Monday at is, but fell
as low as 1914 before the close
of the market.

the foreign issues did not vary
much from their previous close.
The Czecho-slovak SIS, to be sure,
lost fractionally. but the Chile IS
Of 1926 were in good demand at
better levels. Business with the
foreign department was quiet, on
the whole. and most of the price
changes represented small frac-
tions.

peared for the copper issues DUR

an upturn of around . cents IN
wheat prices, with the September
selling at a new high on the crop.
Some increase in outside buyins
was noted and while the latter
failed to follow the advance the
undertone was decidedly firmer and
sentiment generally became more
oullish. There was no materiai
pressure on the market and short
covering was strongly in evidence
on the way up. Some of the early
buying was attributed to hedging
against sales of new crop winters
kfor export, and the seaboard re-
ported a good demand there. A

goodman in which he said the crop
