TURN VERY WEAK
st. PauIs Stand Out Boldly
in DecIine-Seaboards
Also Go Down.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Idspatcn to The Star.
NEW YORK, May with tho pos
sible exception of the foreign issues,
which for the most part held very
we'll. and of the libertys. which moved
erratically, the bond market was dis
tinctly weak today.
Naturally enough in view of the
drastic reaction In stocks, specula-
tive bonds suffered the most but sec
ond grade and high grade securities
were also heavy.
The ST. Paul issues stood out con-
spicuously in the decline. This is
all the more noteworthy because of
the excellent earning statement put
out by the St. Paul for March, In
which net operating income showed
an increase of 80 per cent over that
for March. 1922. and was by far the
quarter of the year the ST, Paul had
S4,000,o0O against heavy deficits in
the preceding three years.
st. PauIs React Sharply.
Yet st. Paul bonds reacted sharply
today, with the convertible AVS down
to within a uoint of the low Of the
turity yield Of between 101a and IL
per cent.
The long term refunding "A" ANS
went below sixty and the convertible
6s OF the same maturity sold down
at almost to the low of the year.
The short term As OF 1925 lost a point.
Even the General Mortgage As. a

security is. reacted fractionally.

the case of Seaboard bonds Here.
too. earnings are very encouraging.
For the six months ending March 81
last, the road reports earnings at
charges including one years inter-
est on the adjustment bonds and the
regular 81 on the preferred stock.
These figures have no effect on the
market for Seaboard bonds. all of
which went lower today until they
The same was true of the ST. Louis
San Francisco adjustments and in
comes and the New Haven 6s and as
st. Louis Southwestern Terminal IS
reacted with the rest, although the
st. Louis Southwestern consistently re-
port excellent earnings.

About the only railroad bonds to
show resistance were Reading As

Among industrials Cuba Cane Sugar

and Canada Steamship Is all went
down. United States Steel sinking

LESS GRAIN PLANTED.
Wheat Crop in Northwest to B.
Slightly Curtailed.

ST. PAUL, May 1.-Grain crops will
be slightly curtailed throughout the
northwest on account of the late spring,
according to official reports just issued.
Wheat acreage will be reduced in North
Dakota from 5 to Is per cent. Many
farmers are paying special attention to
feed crops so as to make their profits
from the fattening of live stock rather
than chance encountering unfavorable
grain prices. The potato acreage of the
northwest will be less than that of last
year. but no shortage is anticipated.
Seeding is general throughout the
northwest.
