CONVERTIBLE BOND
/ LIST REACT|ONARY
Sympathy With Decline in
Stocks Shown by Securi-
ties Today.
BY CHARLES +. sPEARE.

special OlSpdbCu W AbC Sb@i'
NEW YORK, June 14,--Convertlble
bonds, which were heavy in the lat
ter part of last week, reacted still
further today in sympathy with the
decline in stocks. There were also
a number of conspicuously weak SIT
uations in several issues OF small
manufacturing concerns.
The convertible group, including
Erie "D's." Delaware & Hudson IS,
International Telephone 512s and
Brooklyn Union 512s, were off an aver
age of one to two points. Armour
of Delaware 51as broke another point,
which brought them down close to
the previous low of the year. and
Dodge 6s were under pressure.
There was some support. however,
in II. S. Rubber IS around VI ana a
new high price for General Motor
Acceptance Corporation IS above l0l.
Chicago Railway SIS were distinctly
weak. -
Government issues were lower. The
continued firm money rate played
q part in reducing the level for high'
grade bonds by a small traction.
Dealers were quite disappointed that
there should not have been some I'M
provement in this section of the mar
ket following the steady decline in IT
during the greater part of May ana
the first half of June. Northern
Pacific, Illinois Central, Pennsylvania,
Atchison and New York Central is
sues were all heavy.
In the foreign department the
changes were generally downward. A
new low price was made on the City
of Milan 615s, after which they recov-
cred "a Owing to the substantial
losses that have occurred recently in
Italian public utilities there was some
disposition to buy them back at to-
days level. The French governments
and municipals were off "a to u, and
Belgian 6l2s showed at one time an
advance of II point. while other Bel
CLANS were down. This bond is not
redeemable until after 1889, and then
at 105.
The volume of new issues at the be-
ginning of the business week was
small Figures available today indi-
cate that of the May offerings amount
ing to just under $3.50, 100000 over IS
per cent were for refunding purposes,
while for the five months of 1927 near
ly so per cent of the new railroad and
public utility bonds offered during
that period were to take up old is
sues. This compares with 10 per cent
and 20 per cent, respectively, a year
ago.

Sally had gained q lot Of respect

Her eyes went from him to the
