BONDS UNSETTLED
IN TRADING TODAY
Prices of Best Grade Issues
Generally LoWer--Higher
Money Is Factor.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch TO The star,
NEW YORK, May 2s.--Absence oi
any general demand for bonds and the
prospect of another week or 10 days oi
per cent call money created an un-
settled market situation today. Prices
were generally lower in the list Of high
glAde issues and after an early advance
In some Of the convertible bonds they,
too, went below Fridays closing.
The. Shrtnkage In q number of the
high coupon rails which sold at large
premiums early in the year has now
amounted to from four to six points.
Even with the improvement in the yield
on these bonds there Is no great de-
mand for them. The ordinary buyers
Of this class of securities are temporarily
OF Of the market and are using their
funds in call loans at per cent. They
expect to get bonds cheaper during the
Summer and to take advantage, as they
did year ago, of market conditions
that develop when there Is a large
amount Of undistributed material In
sight at less than original prices.
The break today Of 2l2 points in Aus
tralian 4Ns illustrated the difficulty in
trying to sell low coupon issues. These
bonds were originally offered three
weeks ago at 92Ia and today were avail
able at 90. The only foreign issue that
has gone well recently and has sold at
9 premium is the German General Elec-
tric SIS, which are UP point since they
were offered week ago. This advance
has taken place while a number of the
German municipal and provincial bonds
have been declining
An early announcement Of the new
Treasury financing is anticipated. This
will be required to take care of the
June Is maturities. On account of the
stiffening up in the money market the
past month the terms on which the
new Government securities will be Of
tered must be more attractive than any
during the past year.
Indications are that long-term bonds
on about 3ss per cent basis viii be
used this time rather than short-term
Treasury certificates. There was very
little change today in the Government
list, although legal corporation bonds
and tax-exempt issues were heavy.
Some Of the features of the day were
Anaconda Copper rs and Andes Copper
rs, which advanced early u to ia
points and then lost more than they
had gained: Brooklyn Union Gas 5i2s
which were on 2h points; the local
fractions. "a to a: Seaboard Air Lines

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 11.--Declin-
ing tendencies that developed in late
trading yesterday were again in evil
dence In numerous directions in the
closing trading Of the week On the
Curb Exchange. Taking the list as a
whole. the reactions from the final
prices Of a week ago were rather pro-
nounced in a number Of specialties that
had furnished the outstanding features
III the recent upward movement.
There was reason to believe that sem
timent toward the market was not as
optimistic as 1t had been week and
two weeks ago and that developments
In the credit situation are likely to
play more prominent part In the flu
ture than they did Immediately fol-
lowing the advances in rediScount rates.
Brokers loans were at their highest for
all time. Notwithstanding that liquida-
ton that might have been expected to
result In decreases In borrowings at the
banks
Public Utilities were almost devoid OF
feature today. Electric Bond a. Snare
was subjected to rather urgent prof1t
taking. but this reflected nothing more
than a desire to even up accounts over
improvement Worked higher for time,
out subsequently lost their improvement.
Prominent oil shares apparently were
marking time awaiting publication OF
the final reports for 1927 results which
in many instances are expected TO make
anything but favorable comparison
With the previous year Standard OF In
diana and Vacuum OIL were fractionally
lower.
Because OF the latest developments In
the Bancitaly situation. the stock con-
tinued one of the most prominent IN

ports. The price opened more than a
point higher, but did little further.

poets of distributions larger than the

was the incentive for the demand.
