Wide Changes In Number ot
Rails and Public Util-
ity Issues.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.
,c,,i Dtsnatch 10 The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June There was
again a thin market for investment
issues today. which was reflected In
wide changes In q number OF rails and
public utilities. This represents the
effect on such bonds OF long season
of high money rates, with no immediate
prospects Of an improvement In TINS
direction.
One Of the issues affected was the
New Orleans Public Service 5s, which
broke below 90 after selling recently at
par, and later rallied point. Chicago
81 Northwestern general 6s. which SOLO
at lit earlier In the year, were onered
today around Ill. with no BIDS. In
the unlisted market there have been
sharp declines the past two days In
number Of the best grade ~ per cent
and per cent public utilities. which ID
additional to the losses that had oc.
Cured since the early part Of May. a
few of the legal rails have shown more
resistance the past day or so, notably
the Baltimore 81 Ohio first Is and re-
funding IS.
Ohio Bonds Quieter.
The market in automobile bonds
uuieted down materially. Dodge 6s
opened uIlCAl6Ii8Cu nAA0 VAACA IoaN ~
der 96. compared with Thursdays high
of 80. Pierce Arrow 8s made an ad-
vance of about a point. The rubber
and tire issues were quiet, but heavy,
and the copper convertible issues slug
qish. Wilson 81 Co. first 6s were of
point, u. 8. Sugar first mortgage 6s up
", and Armour 612s the same. There
was a mild revival interest In the New
York surface line income bonds New
York Railway 6s and Third Avenue IS
each gained 1A points. The obliga-
tions Of the subway lines were heavy,
notably Brooklyn & Manhattan Tran
sit 6s.
Not much change occurred in the
junior rails, where the demand has
fallen of TO small proportions, COM
pared with that Of week ago. Frac-
tional declines occurred in this list.
Terms of Financing.
It is expected that definite announce
ment of the terms Of the June ID Gov
ernment financing will be available over
the week end. The market for long
term Treasury issues still is under pres
sure with the first and fourth Liberties
slightly lower.
This weeks financing has been
notable for the large percentage devoted
10 German loans. Three German issues
have aggregated s57.000,o00 During
May so per cent of all of the new bonds
sold were for foreign account. the
s25, ,000. 900 consolidated agricultural
loan By German provincial and COM
munal banks with 6n per cent coupon
at e7h comes in direct competition with
the Rentenhank 60 and per cent loans.
which have been easier on this account.
1t was announced today that there
would be q Cuban government loan
shortly, while a number Of large South

Ability to break par gave Mac
Farlane his victory. In three rounds

Challenger Plans to Get Used to
Conditions Under Which He
Will Meet Tunney

Fair Haven, N. j.. July IL R-If
Tom Heeney fails in his attempt to|
lift Gene Tunney's heavyweight
crown in their battle, at the Yankee
Stadium July IS, it won't be because
he is not used to the conditions.
Tom starts tonight to get used 10 the
conditions he will encounter at the
stadium by performing his daily box
ing stunt at night under the fare
of powerful lights in big barn mi
which he has pitched his ring.
The Irishman from the Antipodes|
got a taste of the kind Of bexing|
the champion will offer him in his
last daylight workout yesterday
when he went one fast round with
Armand Emanuel, the young Cali
fornia sensation. Emanuel went
around him like the preverbial
cooper going around barrel ana
made him stop a good many blows.
However. the challenger could not|
display the body attack which he
hopes will wear Tunney down in the
fifteen round encounter, as ne de-
sisted by request from landing any
hard wallops on the Californian's
midsection. Emanuel made his step
at Fair Haven on the way back to-
New York from clam bake and
was not In shape to weather a hard
body attack even for one round.
Heeney's demonstration against
Emanuel gave an indication that his
plan of attack may meet with some
success. Although the Californian
succeeded in keeping him at dis
lance. his blows had little effect on
the rugged challenger while Heenev
put his best foot forward at the
start and kept on going in that d.
rection until the finish.

champion still has two weeks Of

peak Of condition. He weighs 1917
pounds, and after a hard workout
he is five pounds lighter. the exact
weight he intends to carry when he
faces Heeney.
Tunney restores the five pounds

drinking three pints of milk after
each session. He does not intend to
let his poundage drop until the eve
of the title bout. He has already
reached the point where he must re-
duce his roadwork. Yesterday he
ran only four and one-half miles,
and today he probably will do even
less.
Starting today. the spectators who
daily throng about the ring were
asked fifty cents to watch the
