f'Oh, pshaw, says Congress,
$4,000 Isn't anything
Not when it's on the District, It
isn't.
But at that. It's i right big
cheese pairing. At 5 per cent it's
the interest on $3.50, 900 and that
would buy q lot Of things We need
mora than law suits.
Anyhow. it's too much to pay for
the purpose of muicting $4,000
from disabled soldiers.
And the District has no more TO

INVESTMENT BONDS
CONTINUE Strong
|. NJ. M. Is Feature, Receding
on Reported Sale of
White Star Line.
BY GEORGE T.. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 28.-Interna-
tional Mecchantile Marine 6's again
were the feature in the bond market
today, but they started off as weak
as they had been strong in the pre-
ceding session.
The closing price yesterday was 96
and the opening today was 931a from
which the quotation receded a point
or so further during the first hour
of business. At 90 the bonds were
down points from the extreme high
reached after the announmecent of
the proposed sale of the White Star
Line.
Opinion in the Street today was
veering to the view that the bonds
would not be called, but that what
ever new property was acquired with
the proceeds of the sale would be sub
jected to the lien OF the mortgage, in
which case the investment rating of
the issue would revert to the earning
outlook and as to that actual results
were awaited.
Another Interesting movement came
into the st. Paul junior bond now in
default. Signing Of the foreclosure
decree, which was regarded as clear
ing the way for reorganization, pro
duced a sharp upturn in all the issues
secured under the refunding mort
gage. Gains at one time of between
and 3 points were recorded. The
Chicago, Terre Haute and Southeast.
crn refunding 5s and income bonds
shared the improvement in the St
Paul group.
Buying kept up in the higher-yield
ing railway group, such as New York
Ontario and Western refunding As
Erie prior lien as. Western Maryland
4s and New Haven convertible 6s. The
last named sold above par for the first
time, rejecting the steady improve
ment in the New Haven financial out
look. There was good inquiry for pre-
MUM bonds, such as Southern. Rail
