BONDS IRREGULAR
D IN QUIET MARKET
Convertible List Reflects Re.
action in Stocks-U. S.
Issues Steady.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
ecfal Disnatch to The Star


NEW YORK, September 10.-The
bond market ran about the same course
today as in recent sessions. There
was irregularity in convertibles, a
slight forward movement in some of
the high-grade corporation bonds,
soft spots in the list of foreign dollar
issues.
Trading was on a moderate scale and
has been one-third less recently than
when the big transactions In telephone
conyertibles dominated the situation.
American Telephone and Internation-
al Telephone 412s were both of over
2 points, and about Is points below
their high record prices. Other stock
issues which showed declines were
Atchison AIS, Public Service of N. j.
Az, Allegheny Corporation SIS and New
Haven IS. American I. G. Chemical
512s, after Mondays drop Of 61s points,
recovered nearly all their loss.
A slightly better tone existed in the
high-grade mortgage issues, with life
insurance companies back in the mar
ket for rails and public utilities to a
greater extent than for some weeks.
Throughout the summer they have
been showing preference for real
estate mortgages, as nave the Savings
banks, but yields on taxable bonds
have now dropped to level where the
insurance companies are disposed to
average down the cost of former pur-
chases. This is the season of the
year when, if there is to be a demand
for good bonds, it should begin to show
itself in the market.
The rubber and tire, sugar, coal, pa
per, iron and steel and tobacco mort
gage and debenture issues, all of which
are quoted at unusually high yields,
showed the effect of adverse conditions
in some instances and Of neglect In
others, because of the present prefer
ence for common stocks.
A few German issues made slight
gains. Although they have had an
extensive decline they are still selling
at fairly high prices compared with
the returns on German internal obli-
cations now being floated. Some of the
best cities of Germany have been bor-
rowing this Summer on 10 per cent
basis.
The day produced larger volume OF
new bonds and preferred stock offerings
than since the end Of August. Practi-
cally all had some kind of feature,
which eventually would translate them
into common stock.

He will not be eligible for foot ball next
year, even if he returns to college, and
several promising freshmen who were
counted upon to occupy vacant varsity
berths will likewise be missing.
Whether or not this is the result OF
a stiffening of faculty attitude toward
athletes, following the drastic handling
of Iowa University by the Western con-
ference, may not be said, but in any
case observers of conditions in the big
ten are one in saying that the dropping

tremely satisfactory results. In several
cases alumni of certain institutions
whose athletics enthusiasm has led tnem
into too ardent canvass for varsity ma
terial have been advised-from quarters
where advice means something-to pipe
down.
There are institutions in the confer
ence which frequently lose varsity men
because of scholastic deficiency, and
there are others where all athletes seem
to have a faculty of sailing through q
curriculum with never headwind and
all sails set. But, of course, colleges
which lose athletes through classroom
deficiency can do no more than wonder
at the intellectual efficiency prevailing
among all athletes in sister institutions
and, of course, envy it.
Iowa, according to Western Confer
ence members who are East for the
national open at Mamaroneck, will be
returned to the fold when certain RENE
dies have been made in the conduct Of
sport at Iowa City.
