BOND TRADING DULL,
WITH LITTLE CHANGE
Stiffeping of Money Conditions In
tensifies the Usual Summer
Season Inactivity.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 31.-The bond
market today drifted through one
OF the dullest trading sessions of the
Summer. with virtually no change
in the general average of prices. The
stiffening OF money conditions at the
close of the month intensified the
usual Saturday lull in activity.
The only conspicuous feature of
the days dealings, which aggregated
little more than 100000, was a
rally of points in Brooklyn Union
Gas 51as, carrying the price to a
new high level for the year above
100. The buying, which followed q
rise in the companys stock, was
based on prospects of a favorable
decision in pending rate cases.
Railroad liens failed to keep pace
with the upward movement of the
carrier shares. Denver and Rio
Grande Western 5s held near their
1926 top price, and st. Paul refund
ing AIS gained point, but Balti-
more and Ohio. Frisco, Katy" and
Missouri Pacific issues were heavy.
Foreign obligations were firm in
extremely quiet trading. French and
Belgian bonds were fractionally
higher and brisk buying movement
developed in Great Consolidated

based upon the very moderate provl-
sion on staple goods made thus FAR
and the clean stock conditions due

goods and little price change was re-
ported. SILK goods were quiet. the

ATHENS, GREECE

The brown, barren look of the noun
tains and the bleakness of the plane
surrounding Athens was quite con-
trary to my expectation of Athenian
landscape. There were few trees and
little greenery in the city itself also.
Athens is a very busy modern city
and that, combined with the gray
look of the winter season, may be
accountable for the drab aspect of
the whole. Ancient ruins are not con-
fined to the Acropolis, but are scat.
tered freely about in the midst of
the flimsy buildings of the present
generation. Built into the rock ON
the south side of the Acropolis are
the remains of the tiers of seats and
the stage of the theater of Bacchus
and near it the smaller, originally
covered Odeion of Herodes Atticus,
Not far from the Acropolis are the Is
beautiful Corinthian columns remain
ing to mark the site of the Temple
OF Zeus. A marvellous structure of
white marble is the Stallion, rebuilt
by an Alexandrian Greek merchant,
George Averoff, at an expense of
100000 to reproduce the original
erected by Lycurgus in $50 B. C. Here
are held the Pan-Athenian games, to
