SUMMER DULLNESS |. IN BOND SITUATION
Stock Privilege Group Only
 Strong Market Spot

New York. July o9 'P'-Mid- sum mer dullness, together with high money rates and uncertainty over the immediate credit outlook, kept bond trading within narrow bounds today. Popular convertibles incln- ed to heaViness in the early trading, although rccessions were nominal. The only strong spot in the stoc.i privilege group was the Reading coal and iron 6. which climbed to a new high above 104 on a substantial turnover.
 Telephones Fiuctuatc
 American Telephone 412s made d good start on the new week by ad- sancing more than a point on the opening sale. but selling of the stock brought a drop of several points in the bonds. Part of which loss they subsequently, recovered. lnterna- tional Telephone 4hs sagged more in moderate volume without much further tiuctuation.
 Interest in the domestic mort gages was extremely light and price changes ruled nominal. Warner Quinlan 6s lost point on fairly liberal selling.
 Foreign bonds and United States government securities found an ir- regular and exceptionally thin mar ket.

U. S. MOTOR FIRMS
IN BATTLE ABROAD
Different Methods Employed by
Leading Producers to Cap
ture Trade.
BY CAMILLE LIE MERCER.

Special Cable Dispatch to The Star.
PARIS, March 2S.--The European
motor car market has become q battle
field for the General Motors Corpora
ton and the Ford Motor Co.
General Motors fired the first shot
last week by acquiring for $50, 100000 a
controlling interest in the Opel Motor
Works, which Is Germany's largest pro-
Queer of motor cars.
This correspondent is authoritatively
informed that the Ford Co. will soon
meet General Motors challenge by the
creation in Europe of large plants for
mass production of its new model A.
It is evident now that the most i'm
portant automotive companies in the
world intend to use in their competition
for prominence on the continent two
absolutely different lines Of action.
The policy Of General Motors, as ex-
pressed recently by its president, Alfred
P. Sloan, is based on the fact that Eu-
ropean customers do not like the Ameri-
can type of car, which Is too expensive
to keep. Taxes on automobiles are
heavy in all European countries and are
mainly based on horsepower and gaso-
line consumption. European customers
require light cars, speedy. but small con-
sumers Of gasoline. For instance. In
France 80 per cent out Of 1000 900 cars
are Of 10 horsepower.
On the contrary, Ford does not admit
that European customers dislike Ameri-
can models, but admits that transporta-
ton costs and customs are prohibitive.
Consequently, Ford will produce new
model A in European plants.

CONVERTIBLE BOND
ISSUES SHOW GAIN
international Telephone
a 1-2s Prove Market Leader
With Rapid Advance.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Di6paten 10 Inc Star.
NEW YORK, March 2s.-The entire
bond market today was overshadoweo
by the sensational advance In 1nterna-
tional Telephone 4l2 per cent converti-
bles, which represented large proper
ton of the total transactions.
Opening at l2412 to las, compared
with 1913 at the closing yesterday, they
rose on large units to 100, which was
10 points above the price to which
they had advanced earlier in the year.
This movement was In line with the
heavy gains that were taking place in
the old and new stock into which they
are convertible. Profit taking developed
after the 7-point rise and cut off q
part Of the gain, but in the afternoon
the bonds worked up to still higher
level.
Other convertibles were strong. but
gains in them were limited to a point,
with the exception of Anaconda Copper
rs. which rose points. Anglo-Chilean
rs declined point and then rallied
Antilles Sugar 7l2s advanced 4 points.
although the Cuba Cane Sugar issues
higher Commercial Investment Trust
5las failed to make up much Of yester-
days 7-point drop.
United States Government issues had
a better tone. The fourth Liberty AIS
rallied g and the Treasury As IA.
Short-term issues are under pressure
due 10 the prevailing high rates for
time money and acceptances. The
changes in the legal list of rails and
public utilities were smaller than they
have been on any recent day. This
was also true Of second and third grade
corporation bonds.
In the foreign list an advance in
French government and municipal
issues after the recent sharp decline
was a prominent development. Belgians
were also stronger. Throughout the
list of inactive dollar bonds there are
abundant signs of weak market posi-
lions, with difficulty in selling even
small blocks except at sharp concessions
in the price. This is apparent not only
in listed but in unlisted issues, and
applies especially to South and Central
American and Southeastern European
obligations.

n. SCHULTZ and other residents yeSter-
da- disagreed with the report of Army
engineers that Corning is in no danger
from encroachment of the Missouri
River, which is gradually shifting its
channel toward the southwest edge of
this valley hamlet.
Mayor Schultz said there was no "im-
mediate danger" but he felt that the
situation was grave and would continue
to urge action by the Government to
protect the town.
Property Owners More Pessimistic.
M A. Rumble, spokesman for group
of property owners, took o more peSsi-
miStic view.
We in Corning think the town is in
imminent danger" he said. I'VE have
seen the river cut a mile and a half
toward Corning this year and it has
only 600 feet to go. Are we going to
have to wait until our houses drop into
the river?"
Engineers from the Kansas City office
OF the Army Engineers Corps after a
survey reported to the War Department
in Washington today that the town is
in no danger and that it would cost
more to turn back the river than
threatened farm land is worth.

Thomas F. Heslin. acting as ad- ministrator for the estate of his de- ceased son. Raymond, brought action today for $l0,000 damages against Daniel Dregone of this city. and Louis Muli of Meriden.
 The complaint, drawn up by Judge F. B. Hungerford, alleges that on July 1, last, at midnight, the boy was riding as guest on the front seat of an automobile owned and operated by Dragone. The car was proceeding on the main highway be- tween Meriden and Waterbury. As the car was going down Stillman hill at what is alleged to have been rapid speed, a machine owned and operated by Muli approached from the opposite direction. also at . reckless rate of speed and on the wrong side of the road. It is claim ed that Dragone did not have enough room to pass Muli's car and was forced to run off the travelled road and landed against the guard rail- ing on the highway. As a result. the boy was thrown out of the car and killed instantly. 1t is alleged. Papers were served by Constable Fred Wrinkle. The writ is returnable in superior court on the first Tuesday in March.
