DOMESTIC BONDS
ARE HEAVY TODAY
Good Rallies in Foreign List,
Trading Is in Small
Volume.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, June lS.-In one of
the smallest markets this Spring do
meStic bonds today showed a heavy
tone, in contrast with some very good
rallies in the foreign list.
The urgent liquidation appears to be
over temporarily. There has been a
recovery of from ! to 2h points in
high-grade bonds that were on a bar
gain basis the middle of last week, but
now have lost their attractiveness for
dealers and institutions who were will
ing to buy them at the lower levels
Some profit taking appeared from
those who expect to buy bonds cheaper
during the Summer on the theory that
money rates will continue firm through
out July and, possibly, until the mid
| die of August.
High and Low Prices.
The decisive character of the reac-
ton that eliminated on June l3 is
| only realized after a study of the
tables giving the high and low prices
of the year. Numerous railroad and
public utility issues of the very best
grades went of as much as 6 and Z
points. although the actual sales at the
bottom figures were small. In only a
few instances has there been much
recovery so far in the older issues. The
maximum was reached in Baltimore 81
Ohio refunding 5s, which touched par
and rallied to 102la. Great Northern
rs and Louisville g. Nashville 5l2s were
UP today y to Ia points over the
recent low. The best gains have been
in the recently syndicated bonds bear
ing Az per cent coupons
Among them are the Australian 4h2s,
which advanced nearly point to-
Gay. and were IA points above the low,
Batavia Petroleum 4l2s were over 2
points above last weeks low. New South
touching 90 last week. Union Pacific
and Wabash 4l2s were steady. with the
Frisco 4i2s and Rock Island 42s losing
some ground.
There were fractional declines in the
leading standard rails and in the United
States Government list.
Japanese Utilities Strong.
The strongest features in the foreign
department were the Japanese public
utilities, the Italian public utilities and
ments, with some recovery in German
public utilities.
There was very little doing in either
speculative induStrials or rails Andes
Copper rs gained about point and
fractional advances occurred In Sea-
board Air Line, Denver and Rio Grande
Western and Chicago Great Western
issues.
There is very little new financing in
prospect this week. The detailed fig
ures for the five months ended May 81
show a total of $4,630, ,000, 900 of both
domestic and foreign issues, of which
s1.36o. .000. 900 represented funding oper-
atoms.
