GERMAN BOND LIST
SHOWS STRENGTH
Treasury Decision Has Little
Effect on Market as
Whole Today.
by GEORGE r.. HUGHES.
,ocial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June S.--DeCision of
the Treasury Department not TO oneT
any new securities on June 10, as had
been expected, had only Il moderate
effect upon the bond market today.
Liberty and Treasury notes We're
higher, but not significantly so, and
the general investment nst' whlle
firm, was not more so than it has
been for some time past. ON the
OF her hand, desirable new issues were
in active demand. Large advance
orders were reported for the Southern
California Edison 5s to be offered
shortly with 5 per cent coupons and
priced around 80 to yield over per
cent.
The real feature of the day was
the strength in German government
rs. which at 105 touched a new high
record for all time on heavy trading.
The foreign list as whole did not
respond French issues were down
fraCtionally, perhaps in sympathy
with the weakness i'll the franc, and
Belgian and Italian bonds We're falr-
ly steady. There was little change
in the South American group. Chinese
Railways SIS rallied sharply.
The higher yielding railway bonds
We're mostly strong. Missouri Pacific
As stood out, advancing more than
a half point and at 73 equaling their
previous high. The low coupon New
Haven bonds improved their position
and the Erie and st. LouiS-San Fran
cisco junior issues were still i'll good
demand.
Among the industrials and utilities
international Telephone and Iele"
graph 5s at 1lU were off 3l2 points
from Yesterdays high, moving with
the stock, which went down on the
announcement of an offering OF addi-
ti0nal shares. On the other hand,
the striking advance in American
Writing Paper 6s kept up. Selling
at 81. they showed an extreme gain
of points from the recent low. Fa-
vorable reorganization developments
are anticipated.
Oil bonds were irregular, Barnsdali
Gs selling down and Sinclair bs ad-
Vancing Central Steel SIS at one
time We're down nearly points
Weakness cropped out in Cuba Cane
Sugar IS. The local fractions were
generally steady.
The most important new oHerinG
of the day was the $l5,0o0,000 Pru'
dence Co. collateral trust A2s at par.
