BOND Quotations
DECLINE FURTHER
Practically All Classes Were
Under Selling Pressure in
Today's Session.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 28.-Further sharp
declines marked the course Of bond
securities was exempt from the selling
pressure.
Prices for the high-grade rails held
fairly well on the exchange and there
seemed to be some demand for good
bonds on to $40 per cent basis, but
there were large blocks offered for sale
over the counter with the consequent de-
pressing of sentiment among traders.
The source of the selling of these high
grade securities can only be surmised.
Some of it was believed to come from
western institutions
French Fights Drop.
Foreign bonds were particularly
weak. French SIS, for instance, were
off more than points from the price
at which they were selling only a
week ago. French TVS lost In the
same proportion. Czechslovakia IS
went down point between sales
until at one time they were selling
21z points below last nights closing.
Jugoslav IS on large transactions
went we'll below 10. a price not
touched since the first week in the
month.
AS might have been expected, there
was also heavy liquidation In the
speculative rails There were large
transactions in New Haven IS on a
fiat 10 per cent basis, at u points
under yesterdays last sale. New
York, Westchester and Boston AIS
New Haven bond, were down
2 points Missouri. Kansas and Texas
adjustments. which have been specu-
lative favorites, dropped below so
The Erie issues were all lower, espe-
cially the three series of convert
ible As.
U. s. Bonds Also Slump.
United States government bonds
went down with the rest Of the mar
ket. 1t may have been that some OF
the selling of liberties was daIe to the
expiration on July 2 of the tax ex-
emption on certain amounts of the
old AVS. but more likely the decline
here was due to the same causes that
prevailed elsewhere.
Industrial and utility bonds in gen.
eral were lower. The outstanding
exception was the Virginia-C Caro-
lima Chemical issues, both the first Is
and the debenture TVS. Both these
rallied very sharply. The advance in
the Is was about points.
There was a good rally in the late
afternoon. 1t was especially evident
in foreign bonds Some OF the specu-
lative rails also did better, but there
was continuous heaviness in the St.
Paul issues.

CAR SURPLUS INCREASES.
Railroads Making Good Gains il
Efficiency Campaign.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-As of June
IA there were 51,sSs freight cars in
good repair and available for imme-
diate service, an increase of 1882
over the total on June z. At the
same time the reported shortage of
freight cars amounted to 12.7S7, a,
decrease during the week of 191. Thei
fact that the roads are reducing the
technical shortage of freight cars as
represented by their failure to meet
immediate demands of shippers and
at the same time are able to increase
their supply of surplus rolling stock
In good order Is regarded as ample
evidence of the progress made by the
several systems in the efficiency drive

TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, June 28-Aggressive
buying. together with scantiness of
country offerings, gave a decided lift
to the price Of wheat today during
the early dealings. The buying was
last two days as much as 4,000OOO
bushels in future deliveries had been
taken for seaboard account. The fact
that Liverpool quotations virtually
failed outright to reflect yesterdays
sharp setback here. formed an addi-
tional bullish influence. Opening

cents higher, with September 1.02K
to 1.03k and December 1.05 to 1.05Z
were followed by some further gains.
Notwithstanding wheat strength, de-
mand for corn was lacking, bears
contending that corn prices were too
high. After opening at half-cent de-
