UNDERTONE EASIER
IN BOND MARKET
Huge Volume of New FL
nancing Thought to Be Hav-
ing Some Effect.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. February 3.--The
Bond Market had an easier tone to-
day. There was no reaction, but the
volume of trading fell off and offer
ings we're in larger supply at current
levels than in some days past. Evi-
IDENTIFY the huge volume of new financ-
ing was having some effect, although
sentiment continued confident and
with the money trend still downward.
demand for investment bonds was con.
sidered assured.
Among the few features of the day
was the buying in Chicago Great
Western as, carrying the price above
72 for the first time on the move
ment. Chicago Great Western is GOV
ering charges about one and one-haif
times, but up to today the bonds
we're still available on a per cent
basis and apparently cut of line with
other railroad mortgages Of its class.
There was some speculative interest
also in Minneapolis and st. Louis As
and in Iowa Central IS, an obligation
of the same system. On the other
hand. heavy profit-taking sales came
into Western Maryland As, with a loss
at one time amounting to almost 2
points from the recent high. Erie con-
vertible ID As were still strong, but
otherwise this part of the list turned
dull.
Quotations for Liberty bonds and
Treasury notes were closely watched
to see if they suggested any change
in the bank rate, but trading was too
small and prices varied too slightly to
give any indication. The high-grade
first mortgage investment rails hardly
moved. Foreign bonds, which had
gone lower in the two preceding SEES
sions, hardened somewhat today, but
there was no renewal of the brisk up
bidding of last week.
In domestic industrials the oil bonds
were still popular. with a further ad-
vance in Barnsdall 6s with warrants.
There was a heavy turnover in
Manati Sugar 715s, but without much
change in price. On a limited volume
of transactions, American Chain 6s
sold fractionally higher. local trac-
lions were little changed

EARLY RISE is HELD
IN WHEAT DEALINGS
Good Demand at Liverpool Gives
Opening Boost, But Argentine
Shipments News Hats Gains.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, February 3.-Reports
of good demand at Liverpool for
nearby deliveries helped wheat to
average higher here early today En-
larged shipments from Argentina.
however, were a check on advances.
Opening at u to y cent gain, Chi
cago wheat held near to initial fig
ures. Corn, oats and provisions were
also firm, corn starting at a shade
to Il cent up and later showing but
little tendency to react.
Highest prices yet on the present
movement were touched today by
May wheat. Offers TO sell at the ad-
vance were smaller than expected.
In this connection talk was heard of
a probability that European wheat
shortage totals 200, 600, 900 to 225 ,000,-
600 bushels and that European rye
and potatoes are also underestinated.
Despite liberal world shipments Of
wheat, it was pointed out in some
quarters that stocks abroad have not
accumulated. This development six
months after harvest suggests that
owing to the British coal strike and
high ocean freight rates, European
countries have used homegrown
crops more freely than usual, the
world visible supply of wheat at the
beginning of the crop year having
been $4,000 GOO bushels below the 10.
year average.

Farm Loan Amendments Opposed.
Many features of the amendments
to the Federal farm loan act as pro-
posed by the Treasury were opposed
by Gov. Robert A Cooper of the Farm
Loan Board, appearing before the
House banking and currency commit
tee. Going over the proposed amend
mentS with members of the commit
tee, Cooper pointed out that the amend
ment to section % changing regula-
lions as to reserves of Federal Farm
Loan banks would result in impair

banks, which otherwise are sound.
The Treasury bill also was opposed in
SO far as it would separate the super
visory and administrative powers of
the board.
More Railroad Merger Reports.
Following the announcement that
the Washington & Old Dominion Rail
way and the Western Maryland Rail
way are included in a proposed new
trunk line between New York, Chi

Western Maryland. and has already
bought part of the Rockefeller in
