Further apprehension was felt

BETTER TONE NOTICED.
Bradstreet's Finds Cool Weather
Still Retarding Distribution.

NEW YORK. June 19.-Bradstreet'
today said: Cool weather is still retard-
ing distributive lines, but trade senti'
ment has been helped by the improve
ment produced in crop conditions by
good rains over a great part OF the
country. A somewhat better tone is
noted, although current buying is
rather quiet. with collections sluggish.
Textiles and wearing apparel are par
ticularly difficult to move, automobile
sales have fallen off and the furniture
trade is rather quiet.
In the Southeast the cotton crop
needs further rains, and in parts of
the Northwest it is not yet known
whether the Spring wheat will be able
to recover from the damage caused by
the drought The trade outlook in
these sections is therefore not as
sured.
In the other cotton'growing States
the crop is in very fair condition, with
few reports of insect damage. A little
wheat is already moving to market
from the Southwest and bringing good
prices. The railroads are said to be In
excellent shape for handling the crops.

BOND LIST FIRM
IN TRADING TODAY
Prices Well Maintained in
Short SeSsion--Foreign
Group Active.
BY GEORGE I. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 1s.-Prices were
we'll maintained in today's short ses-
sion in the bond market.
The foreign group engaged the most
attention. Investment buying was
again active in the two leaders of
earlier in the week. the Australian
SIS and the Japanese 612s. The de-
mand for the last named put the
price up to another new high. Ger
man municipal and industrial obliga-
tions held around their recent high
points, with Rhinelbe 71as as the
leader. There was an initial recovery
In French Is of three.quarters or a
point The bonds had sold down
sharply in the last hour yesterday
but rallied briskly at the opening TO-
day. On the other hand, Italian as
dragged only a small fraction above
the record low.
Some of the more speculative rails
did better. One of the best supported
was International Great Northern ad
iustments, which more than recovered
the loss on the week. Earnings
earlier in the year have not been
as good as expected, but the OUTLOOK
is now better.
Missouri Pacific issues also were
strong. The 6s of both maturlties
sold at 107, which was their previous
high and only a half point below their
callable price.
The feature IN tne high grade group
was another new 1925 top In tax ex-
empt Liberty 31as. This, of course, :,
represented buying for accounts OF
investors subject to heavy surtaxes.
Another incident was the recovery OF
point in Chicago Union Stations
AVS. Against these the middle grade
bonds. of the class OF Kansas city
Southern 5s, were inclined to be re-
dictionary.
Oil bonds were steady. Pan-Ameri-
can Petroleum 6s advanced with the
stock Steel bonds were firm. Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube 6s sold almost
at their best previous price.
1t was reported today that the East
Bay Water Co. would call its 7ia per
cent bonds and It's 5h per cent notes,
refunding them with both stock and
bonds.

In some sections of Tennessee and
elsewhere in the South the old notion
that playing a fiddle near the spot
where a person drowned will raise the

still extant. Recently an old negro

body of a man who drowned there
But the body didn't rise, saws the

However. the Old fiddler. who claims
that in his time he has raised the
bodies of II persons by this means. Is
not discouraged. He explains that his
apparent failure in this case was due
to the fact that the victims body was

U. S. Steel Runs Up Again,

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. June 1s.-The sharp
setback which the market had at the
olese of business yesterday was toi-
loved today by a period OF lrreGu
fluctuations lasting through the nrst
quarter of an hour. Further sellns
occurred in speculative issues, but the
list soon steadied and it was not long
before the leaders had recovered quite
q part of the ground lost.
The sudden break yesterday was
commonly set down as a shake-out
after the market had become tenn
porarily over bought. As soon as the
speculative position had been suffi
ciently strengthened by the decline,
the buying forces rea sserted them
selves. United States Steel. which
closed on yesterday at 1341a, ran up
nearly points easily.
General Motors at one time gained
over 2 points, but subsequently lost
part of the advance.
Reading and Baltimore and Ohio
were the chief performers in the rail
way section. They moved so far
ahead of any other members OF the
group that a special cause was
readily suggested Reading closed yes
terday at 91si II was rushed up
above 95 in the trading today. This
meant much the highest prices OF the
year B. & o. also. above 90. was sell
ing at almost top figures. The street
continued to take notice of the rumor
which has been around for some time
that 3. & o. and Reading are going
TO get together in a closer union as
part of the expansion program of the
former.
Union OIL OF California was up over
3 points and Mariand over a point.
These were the features in the oil
division Public Service of New Jer-
sey was the leader in its group with
a rise of over points. The food
stocks continued in demand, especial
ly Postum Cereal, National Biscuit
and Ward Baking B.
Among special issues there were
higher prices for Woolworth, United
States Cast Iron Pipe. Harvester. Con-
coleum. International Combustion,
Gotham Hosiery, Foundation Co. and
General Electric.

BUTTER GOES LOWER
IN DEALINGS OF WEEK
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 19.-Weakness
appearing last week in the butter
market. especially at the Eastern
markets where prices on the top
grades declined half cent, was car
ried over into this week and further
sharp declines were effected at all
markets. The development of the
weaker tone is attributed to the re-
lease OF the storage holdings and the
general lack of buying interest for
storage.
Later in the week more buying and
slight improvement in the tone
was apparent. Opinions of operators
vary as to future trends, with many
expressing the belief that the lower
price level will stimulate consump-
ton to a point where movement into
consuming channels will be sutficient
to prevent further declines. Others
feel that a heavy make of butter
will follow and prices will seek
still lower level before the end OF
June.
