acknowledgment in In
ternationaI Finances.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
y NEW YORK, August 24.-More In
| terest was taken today in the pro
| motion of new issues on the market
| than in the fluctuations in existing
securities. The market was moderate
ly active and firm.
The Australian loan of $40,000,00C
brought out with per cent coupon
at 9S, was reported as well sold. The
price compared with one of 9S12 at
which the original per cent loan
was quoted and with 9912, at which
the latter was offered in July, 1925
The first loan from a market stand
point was never a success. 1t was
affected quite seriously last year by
the controversy in England over the
Australian debt and sold down to
about SO.
Fractional Bids Noted.
The New South Wales SIS were bid
up fractionally today as the spread
between them and the new Australian
5s was regarded as too wide. They are
still about IL points under the issue
price.
A significant development in inter
| national financing is the purchase by
the Japanese Bank of the City of
Osaka $30,000,O00 loan, for which
American bankers have been bidding
the past six months. AS business con.
ditions in Japan have been slack since
the April panic, funds have accumu-
lated rapidly and better terms We're
available to the municipal authorities
of Osaka at home than from abroad.
An important piece of domestic
financing is the forthcoming issue of
$40,000,000 Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific Az per cent bonds to be Sc
cured by the Rock Island refunding
As. 1t is expected that these will be
brought out on about a 400 basis.
The refunding As have recently ad-
vanced above 95, where they also
yield 4.S0 per cent and are regarded
as one Of the choice moderately short
term issues in the market.
Shading i'm High. Grade Rails.
There was some shading of prices
today in the highgrade rails, es-
pecially the new Az per cent issues
that have recently been selling at a
premium over par. Among Specu-
lative rails Missouri Kansas Texas
adjustment SIS, New Haven IS and
per cent debentures, Delaware &
Hudson convertible SIS. Erie IS and
the Seaboards were prominent.
An active movement in j. Kayser
512s to about 103 furnished the main
interest in the industrial department
Of the market.
Norwegian SIS and 6s, Denmark
IS. Chile 6s and Chile Mortgage Bank
6&s, Italian municipals and Argen-
tine IS were all strong. The French
group was irregular following yes
terday's advance in most of them
to the highest on record.
The same was true of the Belgian
issues. United States Governments
were steady.

Great Britain still holds first place
in new construction by more than
half a million tons, although the
76O ,0S4 gross tons on which work was
begun in the past quarter was d ue-
cline of 1853 from the preceding
quarter. Italy is still In second place
closely followed by Germany.
Holland, ranked third at the emu OF

place, below he United states. whie
France, despite a gain Of 10000 tons
during the last quarter, ranks sixth
