has been a slump in market prices

Urge Calling Diet.
Japanese newspapers and infiuen-

session of the diet, the Osaka Maini-
chi leading the way by declaring that
such special session is urgent,
chiefly to demonstrate that there
must be national spirit of unity
among the whole people in carrying
out the tasks confronting them.
Agitation favoring removal of the
capital to Kyoto is gaining impetus,
many members of the diet urging
such action on the grounds Of future
safety for the government.
Unemployment also has become one
OF the leading problems of the hour,

GENERAL DULLNESS
IN BOND MARKET
0versubscription of New
U. S. Note Issue Chief
Topic Among Traders.
by GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatc to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE heavy
oversubscription of the new AZ per cent
treasury notes of 1927 did not help
the general bond market much today.
1t is difficult to determine just how
much of this over-subscription rep
resents application for larger amounts
than the subscribers expected to be
allotted. While the cash subscription
has been closed. the books remain
open for the exchange Of victory
notes. No market quotation was
available today on the new notes. but
the price at which the old victories
sold represents the premium for the
privilege of acquiring the new securi-
ties, and this premium was higher
today than Saturday.
Meanwhile the general bond market
remained dull and heavy. No sub
stantial decline, however. from the
present level was thought probable
in view of the trend of commodities
toward lower prices and the sub
siding Of speculation for the rise In
stocks. These two factors. together
with the large amount of available
funds as evidenced by the still in
creasing gold holdings of the banks.

prices for bonds sooner or later. Frac-
tional advances were scored by some
of the first grade rails tod.'v. such
as Atchison General As and Chicago.

lehem Steel issues were also a little
higher. Notwithstanding the current
pessimism as to Bethlehem Steel and

There was very little change among
speculative bonds. Chicago rail-
ways 5s were still heavy, and the
same was true of the Erie issues.
notably the convertible As. Among
the second grade issues. Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio SIS. and the Hud
son and Manhattan refunding 5s ware
lower The sugar bonds were ir
regular, with the Punta Allegro Is
up, and the Cuba Cane Ss down.
Foreign Issues Firm.
No great change was observable in
the foreign list. French bonds were
firm. Bolivia SIS sold around the low
of the year to date.
There seems to be no good reason
why these bonds should sell to give
a so much higher return than other
South American issues except the
unfamiliarity OF American investors
with the security.
Attention was again called today
to the depression in the market for
railway equipment trust certificates.
Obligations of the strongest ratl-
roads were obtainable on $50 to a
5:35 basis and Illinois Central Equip
ments were said to have been sold
on $50 basis, an extraordinary yield
for such an unQuestionable security.
This condition is due simply to the
oversupply of these certificates.
