BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 1s.-weak-
ness developing over the holiday in
the st. Paul group was easily the
feature Of the bond market today.
OIL liens also stood out prominently.
NO new reason was advanced for
the selling. and the only explanation
was that the delay in announcing the
terms of the refunding plan was
bringing about liquidation. 1t is now
less than four months before some
sf,ooo,OOO of st. Paul bonds, secured
py Junior mortgage, will mature. and
no announcement has been made as
10 now this maturity will be met.
Today's selling was manifest prin-
clpally in the As, which mature June
l next, and In the convertible AVS of
1857. The last named have been
relatively stronger than the other St
Paul bonds for some time, and so were
more sensitive to the selling.
General List Steady.
Whatever the outcome of the ST
Paul situation. it was pointed out to-
day that the bonds are selling al
prices which have discounted a good
deal of the unfavorable conditions
The general railroad list was steady
out that was about all. New York

Sugar Bonds Strong.
Among the fractions Brooklyn Man.

Chicago Railways 5s rallied
American Sugar 6s duplicated their
high of the year. and the bonds of the
sugar producing companies held around
their recent high points. Dealings In
the convertible oil issues were ex-
tremely heavy, with Skelly Oil 6Is s
the leaders. up at one time " points
Neither in the high-grade domestic
bonds. such as Liberties and first
mortgage rails, nor in foreign is
sues was there any important change
Polish Loan Soon.
The New Polish loan is scheduled
for public offering early next week
It is understood that unusual pre-
cautions will be taken to safeguard
the interest of the bondholders in
the case of this loan. The American

Will also oher a new block of 6 per

BERLIN, January 1.-THE Clerical

ing five hours. adopted a resolution
last night of conditional opposition
to the party entering a bourgeois
cabinet as tentatively planned by
DR.. Hans Luther, after the latter's
negotiations with the German Nation
alists. The reservations made by the
Marx party are directed against the
Nationalists' demand for four seats
In the new ministry. which the Cleri-
Gals fear Will insure them predomi-
nance, as Count Kanitz, the present
food controller and non-partisan
member OF the cabinet, Is nominally
afiliated with the Nationalists. This
would give them five ministers.
The Clerical party's fight against
Nationalist control of the new gov
ernment WAS led by former Chan

ever. strictly interpreted. indicates
that the Cerioais are inclined to
tolerate non-socialist cabinet, pro-
vided the balance of power does not
revert to the Nattonalists and the
German Peoples party.
DR.. Luther has invited the leaders
OF the bourgeois parties, TO attend

to eye. On the subject of Russian
recognition they are at daggers drawn.
Borah Is the arch proponent OF recog-
nition Hughes is the arch opponent
of It.
The other day Borah had read into
the Record of the Senate statistics
showing that Soviet Russia was buy
ing six times as much in the United
States as imperial Russia ever did.
That was a sly but significant dig at
the Secretary of State.
On the World Court, as immediate
and concrete foreign program as the
administration now has. Borah Is as
hostile to the Hughes position as he
is on Russia. President Coolidge,
with Hughes approval, opposes any
American attempt to call another
disarmament conference until the
European powers abandon their plans
for conference under the Geneva
protocol. Borah wants to go ahead
with a conference without delay.
IL Is plain that Mr.. Hughes cannot
thoroughly relish working with
Chairman Borah, from time to time,
in the matter of the United States
Senate's advice and consent'-sc
Capitol Hill points out. II 1t de-
veiops that the Borah angle" was
somewhere at the bottom of Secre-

There are other suppositions In
circulation besides any thus far here
in mentioned. One OF those promi-
nently uttered is that Mr.. Hughes
has never recovered from his disap-
pointment that his Japanese iumigra-
tion policy was overridden roughshod
by Congress last May. Hughes want
ed to bring about exclusion by
diplomacy: Congress preferred to ef-
feet IT by law. Thereupon ensued
that era OF renewed anti-Americanism
in Japan which some authorities fear
has largely undermined the work
which Charles Evans Hughes con-
siders to have been his supreme
achievement-the establishment al
the Washington conference of peace
full foundations in the Far East.
One thing is acknowledged on all
hands and looms crystal clear above
tie confusing clouds OF speculation.
That is that the country will lose
the services OF a Secretary of State
of extraordinary distinction, and the
Coolidge administration one of the
pillars which gave 1t, next to the
personality of the President himself
its principal prestige.
