Bond Market

New York, June 10.-Prices in the
bond market today were generally
a fraction lower, especially the
convertible issues Liberty bonds
kept active but failed TO exceed
and in one or two instances TO equal
their closing prices of the preced-
ing day. Foreign external loans
were featureless. The japanese
first 41ss rose slightly and the
Mexican government IS were nlgh-
er. others, like the Rio De Janelro
SIS, went lower
Among railway issues, the low
priced bonds held their ground
fairly well, and the were only a
few changes in the high grace
mortgages. The new international
and Great Northern adjustments
sank over a point to well beloW
the level at which trading in them
began recently and as compared u
their high above 50. Chicago q
Alton 3hs sold off, while the I
per cents were up. In the lnaus-
trial sections, Producers and he
fners IS with warrants lost
point, Consolidated Gas convertible
Is were active between 11S1z anc
l1I9, Cerro De Pasco IS were Weah
and among the greater New forf
fractions, Interborough Is when Is
sued and Third Avenue ADJUST
ments went down fractionally.

tCopyright. 1927

The general theory as business
began today was that there would
be further liquidation on short sell
ing at the outset and that then
would come rally. Stocks were
down five,' seven and 10 points
from their recent tops, and it was
felt that this had been q sufficient
reaction where there was no sques-
ton of anything unfavorabIe in the
outside situation, but that all that
was needed was to correct weak
ness within the market itself. This
view turned out to lie fairly accur-
ate. After opening down under
heavy selling, supporting orders
made their appearance, especially
in the oil, steel and shipping
shares. Bringing OF SO, 900 barrel
well by Mexican petroleum in an
entirely new field, furnished the
incentive for the swift recovery in
this stock. Standard Oil of Cali
fornia opened down 41z points on
what appeared simultaneous execu-
ton Of number of scattered sell
ing orders. When this block had
been taken off the market the

lence. Steel common was taken in
large quantities at 1003s and 1902
. and was subsequently bid up obvi-
ously for the moral effect 1t would
have upon the rest of the market
The pool in Maxwell Motor B dis
tinguished itself by working itself
to almost the highest the stock has
struck.
ATLANTIC GULF.
The action of Atlantic Gulf stock
Friday and again this morning at
tracted attention. 1t was among
the few which stood up strongly al
times when the rest of the list was
going down. The latest official in
formation was that Atlantic Gull
, was earning its fixed charges witt
something besides. The revenue:
of this company, have, it is felt
ben increasing very substantially.

Capetown, Union of South Africa,
June 10.-Airplanes did more to

Of the volunteer forces engaged IL

correspondent of the Cape Argus
SAYS. The airmen were successful
both in spotting the enemy and
finding the governments patrols.
A remarkable incident in con-
nection with the trouble was the
discovery and dispersal Of a body
Of Hottentots in. the mountain
gorges, where they sat warming
themselves by a fire shortly after
dawn. The airmen dropped bombs
and opened machine gun fire or
them. Scores were killed and oth,
ers fed in all directions, yet ~ OF
them could have held the plateau

WEEKLY VEGETABLE
AND FRUIT REVIEW

Chicago. June 10-With nearly
perfect conditions to accelerate the
harvest of the winter wheat crop,
and With a government report con-
firming bearish estimates OF yield,
the wheat market has undergone a
material setback in price this week.
Wheat this morning compared with
a week ago, was down 3 Is to 5-S
cents, corn was shade to 1-2c up,
oats off L ga to 2 cents, and pro-
visions showing gains of 20 to 80
cents.
Optimism regarding the domes-
tic crop outlook, especially for
Kansas, put the bull side of the
wheat market at a particular dis
advantage in the first days of the
week, and an increase of the United
States visible supply total counted
also as a factor, giving impetus to
the lower tendency OF prices.
Good rains in India and Australia
together with a forecast that India
would have an exportable surplus of
I 10000 900 bushels, tended further
| to weaken values.
! Anxiety over dry weather COM
plants from northwest of Chicago
| led the wheat market to rally some
what during the last half Of the
week, and although apprehension
of drought was relieved by general
showers the market continued &c
turn more in favor of the bull side
because of a better demand which
/ developed on the part of exporters
and millers. In addition, shipment:
out of Chicago attained liberal pro
portions, whereas arrivals herr
dwindled to almost nothing.
Aggressive leaders in the cor1
:. trade took the position that thu
available supply of corn had ceased
. to be of sufficient volume to &C
, any longer as a weight on value
Oats. however, were weakened b,
