BOND NEWS AND NOTES.
Rail Bonds I'm Demand.

Buyers of bonds found yesterday a
fresh speculative attraction in railroad
issues, due TO growing belief that the
rail strike soon would end and traffic
receive a stimulus afterward. Trading

was an active demand for Erie. St.

Some irregularity which developed late
in the day evidently represented a
speculative reaction when call money
went from 3is to 5 per cent.

Market Falls to New Low Price
Records for SeasOn-Big
Receipts at Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 31.--Heavy shipments
of wheat arrived to-day and the market
dropped to new low price records for
the season.
The close was unsettled at a decline
of &c. to 5iac.. the latter for July.

cember 107A to 10S. Corn lost u a 1c.
to Bc., oats 1c. to rs @1hc. and pro-
visions sc. to zoe
In addition to the big receipts. which
were finally announced as totaling
Lac cars, sharp setback in Liverpool
quotations did good deal to force the
wheat market here down grade from
the start and to show but slight power
to rally. Hedging sales of the new crop
were the heaviest yet witnessed, and
there was also selling pressure on
foreign account.
Demand appeared to be confined
chiefly to shorts including a prominent
Eastern trader. Exporters we're said to
have filled their most urgent require
ments and to be inclined to hold OF as
much as possible from eirther buying,
especially during weakness Of foreign
exchange.
Some authorities expressed an opinion
that after to-day's big receipts the crop
movement would slacken arrivals to-day
having been crowded forward in the
hope of getting the benefit OF month
end bulge in prices. AS a matter of fact,
belated liquidation was the feature or
to-day's trading in the July delivery
A decided increase in the United
States visible supply total, together
with harvest progress in the Northwest
and the prospective settlement Of the
railroad strike, were in most quarters
regarded as contributing bearish factors
in tue market taken as a whole.
Corn and oats descended with wheat,
and as a result Of private crop reports

NEW WOOLEN PRICES
SURPRISINGLY LOW
Reductions From Last Year
Named on Women's Wear
Fabrics for Spring.

The American Wooden Company
opened yesterday its complete line of
womens wear woolen and worsted fab
rics for next spring for the coat, suit
and dress trades. Even more surpris-
ing to the trade than the opening of the
mems wear lines on July II, when
prices were found 10 be but slightly
higher than last spring. were the COM
paratively low prices named ON the
lines shown yesterday.
Values named on the best selling or
repeat numbers were from 1 u per cent.
10 per cent lower than prices pre-
vailng at the last spring opening. de-
spite the fact that raw wool quotations
have jumped more than 100 per cent.
on the finer and medium grades in the
last year.
1t was generally believed in the trade
that the American Woolen Company S
prices on the womens wear fabrics
would at least be above last years fig
pres, in view of the fact that the pri-
mary market has risen steadily since
last year The new values probably will
cause some downward revision of prices
byVother independent factors. 1t is be-
lieved in the trade.
Nelours and tricotine worsteds were
shown at prices which were the lowest for
any spring opening in the company's
history Prices on the less important
constructions were figured at a slightly
higher plane than last spring. The
standard 0417 which is the popular
Normandy cloth. was figured at $3.12 II
a yard, contrasted with $3.27h last
spring. This represents decline of Al
per cent The 0453 number which is the
Elysia. was shown at $3.02ia a yard, as
against 81 IN last wear which Is a re-
ductlon of "a per cent. The 04S1,
or Shawsheen cloth, was opened at s3.15
yard, compared with $32O last spring
which is a concession of 1.6 per cent.
The showing was said to be one OF
the largest for department 4. There
was an extensive line of Polaires shown.
ranging in weight from IA to 90 ounces
and in prices from S1.221. to SEAS a
yard. a much larger line OF fabrics for
sports wear also was displayed. Polaires
in small and large checks and diagonal
patterns, weighing from IA to 16
ounces, were priced at $t.42h yard
This showing included tweeds for suit
ings and coats and reversible plaid
back sutings, which are new departures
for the company.
The department was fairly filled with
buyers from the early morning to the
close of the afternoon. Several leading
houses placed large orders for various
fabrics, while purchasing from Other
buyers was also brisleand in substantial
volume.
The balance of mems wear lines viii
be shown to-day.

fabrics shown, with their style, mum

The public is waking up to the fact that
real estate mortgages are most desirable
and profitable investment when payment of
principal and interest is adequately guar
anteed.
This has brought all sorts of competitors
into the field offering mortgages to investors
with numerous substitutes for the guaran-
tee of payment Some avoid giving an out
right guarantee by laying emphasis on the
people, the strength, and the reputation of
the organization selling the mortgage.
They have various vague but unconvincing
