SPECULATIVE BOND
LIST FLUCTUATES
Higher Money Rate Affects
Convertible ISsueS-U. S.
Group Firm.
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
I NEW YORK, June 25.-The 10 per
cent renewal rate for call money to-
day affected speculative bonds, through
the irregular movements of stocks into
which they are convertible. 1t also had
q tendency to soften the prices of low
yield mortgages, especially the short
maturities.
It is expected firm money rates will
prevail for another two weeks, and for
that reason any movement in bonds Is
likely to be postponed, except where
they are of the equity type. The saw
tngs banks have been losing deposits
through June, as they did in May, and
normally have substantial Withdrawals
after the July interest period. They
are not likely to figure as large buy
ers until later in the Summer.
Legal Bonds.
The fact was emphasized in one
. bond market analysis today that legal
bonds are commanding higher returns
than since 1870 The return on rail-
road mortgage issues of this type is
from per cent up, while short-term
/ railroad equipments are available from
5a per cent, and one year municipals
are offered at 6 per cent. or a net re-
turn to a corporation of better than
6% per cent.
Government issues stood up well to-
day, but high-grade rails were inclined
to sag. Baltimore & Ohio As dropped
about point. They have narrow
market and are subject to wide fiuc-
tlIations. Northern Pacific 4s and IS
were off fractionally. Reading Co. 412s
declined a point
After transactions yesterday OF about
81 500, 900. or 20 per cent of the bond
trading of the day, American Telephone
convertables quieted down and were on
a point at one time. Then they rallied.
international Telephone AIS moved up
three points to a new high record.
Missouri Pacific 5las, Atchison &
Southern Pacific Az per cent con-
vertibles were quiet but strong this aft
ernoon. New orleans. Texas & Mexico
IS advanced 1.
Foreign Group Dull.
On several large blocks Brooklyn
Manhattan 6s recovered more than
point after touching new low yester-
day. There also was fractional gain
in Philadelphia g. Reading 6S from
MONDAYS price of 90, which compared
with the issue figure of 100. Phillips
Petroleum IS dropped about a point to
the lowest for the movement. Florida
East Coast SIS joined the list Of bonds at
the lowest of the year.
Trading in the foreign departments
was dull and of little significance. In
general prices were steady.
