Though Unseasonably Cold,
Damaged Crops in Sections,
Rx the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press
JACKSONV1LLE. Fla, March D.
Florida tonight was recovering from
an unreasonable onslaught of Winter.
Tender truck crops of widely separ-
ated sections were damaged, While
others apparently were untouched.
Temperatures We're to 10 degrees
warmer than on Thursday night.
Leaving the potato belt of the Hast
ings sections all but untouched,
though the temperature at one time
dropped to 80 degrees there, frost
hoped far down the peninsula to
wreck tender truck crops in the island
section as far South as Homestead,
south of Miami.
The Tampa section was not dam
aged, though there was a light frost.
In the everglades the temperature
this morning dropped to % degrees.
Miami did better with 80. The south
east coast section forecast for tonight
indicated probable minimum of 30
degrees, with no frost, even in the
deep glades.
The bloom in the citrus belt felt
the frost, but not to any great ex-
tent.
The temperature yesterday was so
degrees and rising.

Three Grains Drop to New Low

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 1s.--All deliv.
cries of wheat, corn and oats reached
new low price record today for the
1927 crop. Free selling from commits
sion houses dislodged standing orders
to let go of wheat and corn holdings
losses on the downward swing of the
market. Lack of adequate buying
support contributed to the general
weakness which was Influenced by
reports that conditions now favor
threshing and movement of the Cana
dian wheat crop.
Declines in wheat values today were
in the face of estimates that export
business from the United States yes
terday totaled 100000 bushels. en-
actly double what had previously
been estimated for the whole of North
America. On the other hand, bears
gave emphasis to word of improved
conditions for threshing in Canada,
large visible supplies in the United
States and to bearish crop news from
Argentina.
Contrasting with reports that ia.
vorable weather for threshing is now
prevalent in Canada were current ad.
vices that less than half Of the wheat
grown in Saskatchewan this year has
yet been threshed. 1t was added that
this means more than 100000
bushels are still in the fields and that

IN BOND MARKET
Some Issues Sag, While Firm
4 Tone Is Shown by Other
Nss Obligations.
- BY CHARLES #. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 1S.-Certair
industrial and railroad bonds were af
fected today by the periods of weak
ness in stocks and were off from J.
, to z. Others exhibited a firm tone
and were apparently under accumu
lation. The volume of trading de-
creased with the lower price level.
The chief declines We're in the is
sues of sugar, automobile and indie
dependent iron and steel companies
None of them was very large, with
the exception OF that in Dodge 6s,
which amounted to q when these
bonds broke to a new level under
S41a. This compares with the high of
the year of Sc and the best Of all
time of 100. At today's low figure
the bonds yielded nearly per cent.
Reactionary Issues.
Another issue which has been under
pressure recently was that of the
Beet Sugar Co. whose per cent con-
vertibles. due in 1885, have declined
to 80. This has occurred along with
the recent weakness in the Cuban
Cane Sugar convertible as and Ss.
Marine 6s were reactionary, as were
some of the bonds of the oil produc.
ing companies.
Also, United States Rubber IS, and
Goodyear SIS, Armour & Co. 41ss,
Lackawarna Steel 5s and Interna-
tional Paper 6s. were fractionally
higher. The local fractions were ir-
regular.
Highest grade rails acted better, in
spite of the Az per cent renewal rate.

strong. The New York Central is.
sue, at 109Ia, gives a yield of 4.60
per cent, and is still under the market
J for bonds of this type, some of which
have been selling at premiums Of from
10 to II points. Among the lower
grade rails there" was q softening
tendency, with Florida East Coast
Line 5s at the lowest of the year and
losses ranging from u to q i'm Mis-
souri, Pacific As, Denver 5s and Chi.

Polish Bond Issue.
The leading incident of the day in
the foreign department was the issue
of the $47.000,O0O Poland Is at so.
With this the 8s broke below par
temporarily and the IS were lower.
This is an interesting piece Of financ.
ing from the standpoint Of the inter.
national participation in it, both di.
rectly and from a collateral stand.
point. Products by the leading cen.
trail and reserve banks Of Europe, as
well as the Federal Reserve banks of
the United States, are to supplement
the loan. An unusual feature Of it is
the payment at maturity at 1O3 in.
stead Of the usual price Of par.
There was further reaction in 'Ital.
Ian issues, with the municipal 6ks
under 80, having lost of the points
recently gained, and heaviness in
other parts Of the list. United States

rest Of the group quiet and holding
