HIGH GRADE BOND
ISSUES ARE HEAVY
Market DuII-American !. G.
Chemical 5 1-2s Sell at
Record Price.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
ecial Disnafch tn The Star

NEW YORK, July 22.-The bond
market tc day was of smaller size and
movements in the semi-speculative
issues were less sensational, after a
week of heavy transactions in this
group and a number Of new high record
prices.
Except for the 5-point rise early in
American I. G.. Chemical 5l2S there was
nothing of Importance in the converti-
bles. This bond acted again as If there
we're a short interest In it, as 1t jumped
and points between sales and finally
sold 40 points above its issue price.
Some profit-taking occurred at the
higher levels.
There was a disposition to move more
slowly in the two Telephone 4l2s as well
as in Atchison 4las, Southern Pacific
4l2s and in the Allegheny Corpora ton
SIS and American International SIPS.
Commercial Investment Trust 5las
advanced over point to above par,
which is the best figure reached since
the dissolution of the syndicate. Other
strong and active convertibles were
Wickwire Spencer rs and Walworth
Gas.
Pan-American Petroleum IS of 1884,
went to about ITO, establishing new
high price. u,
The rest Of the investment market
was quiet and did not show any definite
tendency. The fact that call money
renewed at per cent, compared with
between 9 and IL per cent in the first
half of last week, had little effect on
sentiment. High-grade corporation
issues were dull and heavy. The United
States Government list also showed a
disposition to react in spite of the de-
cline last week of from u to full point
in the various Treasury notes.
The ratification of the French debt
agreement was without response In the
market for French securities. In fact,
the Government rs were off nearly
point from Saturdays closing. Belgians
and Germans were also heavy. Some
of the Eastern European dollar bonds
have had lower set of quotations since
the trouble between Russia and China
developed last week.
The only new issue of Importance
today was OTIS 900 City of Chicago
tax anticipation notes, which mature
between May Is and october IS, 1880.
All of the notes were offered on a
straight per cent basis. or consider
ably higher than the previous issues by
Chicago. This represents not only the
more severe credit conditions at the
present time but the size of the treasury
borrowings of Chicago along with the
present floating supply in the market
of securities of this character.

RAIL MERGER PLAN
MAY BE APPROVED
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 22.-There is still
many slip between the cup of the
Interstate Commerce Commission rail
merger plan as outlined by Commits
sioner Porter and the lip Of actual
merger.
This was made plain by the attitude
OF big railroad executives today. The
details Of the plan which Commissioner
Porter will ask be made the basis for
consideration Of mergers by the COM
mission have not been made public, but
they are we'll known to his colleagues
and 1t Is believed the plan, perhaps
with amendments, will meet their ap-
prevail as a starting point.
1t Is understood to contain many of
the features of the plans already placed
more & Ohio and the Van SWeringen
systems. The plan, as 1t Is expected
to work, will act as sort of writ of
injunction. That Is. the various roads
and interests concerned will be directed
to appear and SHOW cause" why the
provisions of the plan should not be
dropped.
No plan as yet filed before the COM
mission has met with unanimous ap-
proval of all the stockholders involved
Even II the majority interests were
completely satisfied with the provisions
of the Porter plan as it affected their
roads, the minority intrests would still
have hearing. Such hearings could
not be heard without considerable ex-
penditure of time.
After the main trunk line railroads
had been reconciled to the plan. it still
would be far from being carried out.
They might be authorized by the In
terstate Commerce Commission to ac-
quire certain roads, but the commission
could not guarantee that they could do
So The holders of stock in the roads in
volved might not wish to sell Of be dis
satisfied with the price offered. To COM
pei them to sell it would be necessary
to resort to condemnation proceedings
If this were done, then the question
opens as to the valuation of the vari-
GUS roads, question which has already
caused continuous legal chickering's for
years. As one railroad executive ex-
pressed it today. there would be a
score of other O'Fallon railroad cases
on the court dockets.
