SELLING IS HEAVY
IN LIBERTY BONDS
Feature Trading-Weakness
in Foreign Group-Day's
New Offerings.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

cpccdi 70 Inc 6taI.
NEW YORK, August 21.-The fea-
ture of the bond market today was
the development of a heavy selling
movement in United States Govern
ment bonds. Every active issue was
carried down under the pressure OF
offerings, for substantial losses.
The explanation was declared to be
expectation on the part of banks OF
higher money. In confirmation OF
this view 1t was pointed out that
quoted rates for time funds were a
trif1e higher today and that the supply
had fallen below that available in
some time. Today's quotations for
Llbertys were lower than at any time
last week. To certain degree the
high-grade rails and industrials were
anected by the weakness in Govern
ment bonds Losses in this section
OF the list, however. were only small
fractions.
ForefRn Group Weak.
Heaviness prevailed again in the
foreign group. French bonds got
down below 103 for the 7ks against
the recent high of 1854 and below
107 for the IS against the recent high
of 1O9
French cities 6s were down points
from their highs of last week. Aus
trian Is dropped back below 96. Bra

weakened again under much the same
sort of selling as came into the mar
ket on Wednesday. Prices reacted
however. later. l. G. r., adjustments
were firm. Interborough Rapid Trans
sit bonds and notes were weak, which
may have been due to talk of bus
competition. Third Avenue adjust
ments sold off even more sharply. The
feature of the industrials was the
break in the junior bonds of Wilson
and Company. the losses ranging from
to 8 points.
Today's New Issues.
Tod4y's new issues included $780,
900 Hartford Building: Chicago 6k s,
due 1899, at par; $1.000,oO0 State of
Alabama, Harbor Improvement AVS,

great friend and counsellor of Presi-
dent Harding, who gratified the
journalists long time ambition to be
ambassador at the Court of ST.

1t is admitted by his enemies that

Only on Friday morning he chided
the Republicans with not having the
nerve to throw the FOUNDERS" out.
"All signs" he said, tend to con-
firm the anticipation that the forty

either wholly ignore or cravenly
sidestep the vital issue which stares

mills in South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama to a certain extent, it was
said.
The present plan Of semi-monthly
federal cotton crop reports was dis

reports only once a month and no
on Saturday at any time.
The association will meet in Ashe-
