SLIGHT DECLINES
IN BOND MARKET
Presidents Death Causes No
Alarming ResuIts-NeW
Financing Growing.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 4.--Except for
a fractional decline in foreign bonds
and some further reaction in specu-
.lative rails the bond market opened
today generally unchanged. 1t was
quite evident that Notwithstanding
the worldwide sorrow with which
the news of President Harding's death
was received the major influences
which governed trading today were
the same as those that ruled before
the sad event. These influences were
the very serious situation abroad and
a continued pessimism as to the out
look for the weaker railroads.
Liberty Bonds Steady.
Liberties and high grade rails and
induStrials were steady. On the week
United States government loans are
down fractionally. but the decline has
no Significance. No great advance is
expected before the banks again come
into the market or buying for the ac-
count of the British government
makes itself felt.
II was noticeable again that ire
foreign bonds stood up remarkably
well in view of the news. French SIS
and 7Rs added a little today to their
now to about n point for the SIS and
Ia for the 7hs. This is not much OF
loss when ii is remembered that
franc exchange this week made new
low record for all time. Belgian bonds
have acted about the same way.
Rail shares Weak.
Among the rails practically all spec
ulative issues are down on the week.
There was especially heavy selling of
the junior st. Paul bonds. but even
the st. LouiS-San Francisco adjust
ments and incomes are substantially
lower. The situation of the st. Paul
is well known and the decline is not
particularly surprising, but the st.
EouiS-San Francisco consistently rep
resents good earnings, equivalent on
the latest returns to something like
s per cent for the common stock
New financing for the week was
greater than in month. The total
was 3S309.500, of which the principal
item was 100000 600 in government OF
Switzerland three-year notes. Inter
est of these on account of their short
term was confined largely to the
banks 1t is doubtful whether there
will he any great amount Of new
business before September. but in
vestment bankers feel more confident
than in some time.
