ter. considerable block. or a number
OF blocks OF stock were put upon tho
market, breaking from 3S TO SO, Inside

effect that some stockholders had mis-
understood tho statement sent out by tho
company relative to the transfer OF the
old stock, 10 the effect that the old
stock would not receive dividend un-
less transferred before certain date.
This was interpreted in some quarters
that a dividend would not be paid. but
a statement from Ponca yesterday clear
ed this up. Local people know no rea-
son Whatsoever for the falling off In
price. and those best Informed. arc IN
clined TO believe that Marland Is very
cheap at present figures.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The bond
market today gave a much better ac-
count Of itself than it did Monday
and while no sensational gains were
scored in any quarter, issues which
sagged yesterday recovered much Of
their lost ground.
French bonds, which led the drop,
also led the recovery. While the
French bonds showed a betterment.
British bonds were inclined to sell off
fractionally.
The speculative rails acted better,
the Seaboard Is reaching 6e1a from
the days low of IS. The Interna-
tional and Great Northern adjust
ment Is went to 541z. up point, and
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas ad-
iustment 5s got above So once more.
However, Chicago & Alton 31as
showed a drop of more than 3 points
at 471+ This road has suffered an
outlaw strike.
Local fractions bonds were among
the most active groups, but the price
range was comparatively narrow. The
strength in American Telephone and
Telegraph stock was reflected in the
company's convertible 6s, which went
up more than two points during the
day. and at their best price were up
21a from yesterdays close.

CHICAGO HOGS DECLINE
Increased Holdover, Plus Receipts,

CHICAGO. Aug. 2s.-Hogs sold 10

at the Chicago stockyards today. The
heavy supply Of followers, about 49,
600, and approximately 10000 for
warded direct to big packers from
other trading centers, caused the
drop. The total fresh supply was
% 900. Demands for plain and heavy
hogs were weak.
Holders Of cattle demanded steady
prices for the best stock. Receipts
Of 10000 and the market had a
strong undertone on late arrivals.
About ESQ Canadian cattle were in
cluded in the receipts. The total for
the ten big markets was AZ 500. com

SWINE FIGURES
RECEDE TRIFLE
IN LOCAL YARD
Steer Prices Show Strength
Calves and Sheep Remain
About Steady.

Prices were easier in the hog sec
ton of the local live stock exchange,
quotations receding about 10 cents on
light hogs. The decline was due to a
heavy run of lights and also to the
fact that brokers bought. very few for
shipping, leaving the market at the
mercy of local packers. Receipts
were above the average at 5000.
Early in the day few runs of
lights sold as high as $9.s5. the Chi.
cago top, but this was no criterion of
the general market, where the top was
1915.
Steer prices exhibited some strength
in the cattle market prices for best
steers rising 10 to Is cents, with the
rest of the market steady and demand
good. Receipts were good at 1000
Best steers brought $3.50 to $10.35.
Trading was dull and steady in the
calf alleys, prices holding at the
levels which have ruled for the past
few days, with the top at $13. Re-
ceipts were normal at 700
Sheep and lamb quotations re-
NAMED steady. with a fairly heavy
run of 1000. The lamb top was S12.
