Reporting on the results of a ques-

In regard to the efficiency Of wo-

This part OF the QUESTIONABLE also
reveals the fact that women are be-

AlVord said. that women seem to
begin their public service by serving
on election boards. Then they are
elected to county offices and offices
dealing with money. In the middle

hold county offices. Connecticut
boasts sixteen feminine state legisla-

The QUESTIONABLE showed that

Term Issues Affected by
Money Rates.
BY CHARLES F. srEARE.

Special Disratch TO The star.
NEW YORK, July Is. - New low
prices were reached today in numerous
high-grade as well as senhi-specuiative
domestic and foreign bonds, and the
lowest average for the entire market
this year was established.
Trading was quiet. There was not
much disposition TO take on bonds in
the face of the prevailing money con-
ditionS and the outlook for ilrnler rates
before the end OF the month ana dur
ing August, The declines did not bring
out many offerings. but they had an
unfavorable sentimental effect.
Best Rails Down.
Some of the lows reached in the
better grade issues were i'll Atchison
general As. Northern Pacific first as and
PHILADELPHIA Co. SIS. In the foreign
list United Steel Works 6l2s and Elec-
trio Power Corporation of Germany 6 l2s
both went under previous prices ior
the wear. The latter was affected by
the closing of the syndicate for the
last issue of these bonds, which were
well distributed.
Short pterm issues were among those
that went of in sympathy with the
money rates. American Cotton On 5S,
due in 1891, which sold OH i a.lo
basis earlier IN the year, were Quatsd
today TO yield 6l4 per cent. Many OF
the serial industrial notes and short
term equipments are svailabie between
q 5i4 and a Sa4 per cent basis. A
prime Canadian municipal that offered
last Spring on q Al per cent basis
was quoted today to return per cent
q. S. Government issues were quiet
but the tone was heavy. The fourth
Liberty AIS sold well under le1 and
the two issues of ass were at dis
count of over point.
Goodyear IS Down.
IN the industrial list substantial de-
clines occurred in Goodyear SIS, Cuba
Cane ss, Liquid Carbonic IS. Dodge
IS were not SO active, but held well.
The local fractions were quiet. Public
Service of New Jersey & 3es and Brook

The SeAboard Air Line issues failed
"a rally and were without support even
