eminent telegraphed the home o1fice
North of Hakodate, had subsidized some
what and refugees from many villages
thereabout were returning to their
homes.
Six mountain climbers from Hakodate
were reported missing in the govern
ment dispatch. but there was no men
zion of various other missing groups
which the native press listed.
A previous government message said
that in the village of Ikusagawa and
Shikabe stones four or five inches in
diameter fell.
The lava flow reached point mile
from Mort, railway station. Inhabi-
tantS of Nanae abandoned the town for
Hakodate. Villages for miles around
were showered with ashes.
More than 1900 refugees spent the
night at Mort, being housed in the tenn
Piles and police stations, and were pre-
pairing to evacuate that city with the
approach of the lava when the erup-
ton subsidized
The only foreign eyewitness of the
eruption appeared to be Lloyd Lehrbas
Oriental manager of a movietone con-
Germ, who reached Toxic today from
Hakodate. He said smoke pierced with
shafts of flame enveloped the volcano
top, hiding the cone. A smoke plume
rose as far as he could see with ashes
falling thickly in villages far away
There were accompanying earth shocks
and rumblings.

cent In New York State was not only
caused by construction of about so per
cent in New York City, but to heavy
declines In such prominent centers as
Albany. Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse
and Utica.
In Illinois the decline Of 81 per cent
last month, compared with June, 1928,
almost entirely was due to the shrink
age of about As per cent in Chicago,
while that of over so per cent in Cali
fornia was caused by the decline in
the Los Angeles territory and in the
outlying districts Of Greater San Fran
cisco.
Important sections such as New Eng
land and the States Of Michigan, In
diana, Wisconsin, Florida and Mime
sofa showed very little change. There
was a drop In Ohio of % per cent, due
to the sharp decline in building permits
in Cleveland, and one of over Is per
cent in Pennsylvania, caused by the
heavy contraction in Philadelphia.
Seattle, Houston, Tex; Denver, Colo;
st. Louis, Portland, Greg, and Wash
ington, D. c., were cities in which the
building industry appeared to have
slowed up considerably last month.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 18.-In the greater
part of the United States, in June, the
volume and the value of building plans
filed or permits issued was smaller than
in May and below the totals reached In
last year.
These facts were disclosed today in
national building survey, which not
only covered June, but brought to-
gether figures for the first half Of 1929.
The latter made good showing, as the
total was approximately the same as In
the first six months of 1928, in spite of
the fact that in the same territory
there was a decrease in June, compared
with June last year, Of over 80 per cent.
Comparing June with May, 1t was
found that the shrinkage had been IA
pert cent, or slightly more than the
normal seasonal variation, when the
building trade passed from Spring to
Summer conditions.
Those States, that in June, were able
to show larger volume of permits than
In the same month Of 1929 we're in the
minority. The most conspicuous was
New Jersey, whose total increased near
~ 40 per cent, due to the great expan-
sion in permits in Newark, Jersey City.

Elizabeth. The decrease of over so per

CONVERTIBLE BOND
LIST IS DEPRESSED
Profit Taking Appears After
Early Reaction on Stock
Exchange.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 1S.--More atten-
ton was given today to bonds other
than the convertibles. The latter
slowed down considerably under the
influence of an irregular stock mar
ket, with some of the popular issues
at one time showing substantial de-
clines.
This was especially true of American
Telephone g. Telegraph 4I2s, which
we're of Az points before midday on
comparatively small sales. Allegheny
Corporation IS started off firm, but
subsequently lost a point, with Amer
lean International 5l2S down over q
point Atchison 412S opened 312 points
higher, but lost part of this. Deal
ings in International Telephone AIS
were nominal in the early part Of the
session, with the price down 2 points.
New High Record.
American Petroleum IS touched
a new high record when they advanced
a point to ITO. New Haven IS were
also up a point. with Walworth 612s
reaching par and then reacting. There
was an irregular market in the re-
Gently listed General Steel Casting 5 I2S,
which from 1904 dropped down to
9sl2 and then went back to about par.
The local fractions showed a curious
market, with the marlborough IS losing
all of yesterdays gain and returning to
their previous low of the year. New
York Railway 6s sold off again. Brook
lyn- Manhattan Transit IS rallied
slightly from price that Appropriated
the low of the year, with the company
today bringing out an issue of three
year 612 per cent notes at 9Bi9 to re-
tire In part the one-year per cent
notes outstanding
The fact that call money dropped to
per cent after loaning at Ia per cent
during the first half of the week made
little impression on mortgage bonds,
which were dull and showed narrow
markets. ST. Paul adjustments were
up y, Chicago & Eastern Illinois IS
rose point and Seaboard Air Line IS
a point. The Florida Division IS OF
this road, however, were depressed by
the fresh outbreak of banking troubles
in Florida. which also was a factor in
causing another point loss in Florida
East Coast SIS, now selling on better
than an 8 per cent basis.
Foreign List.
Not much change occurred in the fo:-
eign list which. while representing a
fairly large total recently, does not
move very far from the average that
has been maintained for nearly
month. Liberty bonds were irregular
and Treasury issues still affected by
the money situation. The new SIS
per cent notes have lost half of the
premium of q, at which they were
quoted q week ago.
