CONVERT|BLESF FIRM
ON BOND MARKET
Recovery Noted in Junior

Still Cause Selling.
ny CHARLES #. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, July So.-Dealings in
the convertible bond group were con-
siderably reduced today. with the pub
lie less interested in them since they
have shown a reactionary tendency.
Owing to the high rates for money
there was some selling of prime issues,
with a further readjustment OF short
term securities to the interest rate.
Convertibles were firm in contrast
to yesterdays slump, but the gains
were relatively small in most OF them.
American Telephone Ass were able TO
show rise of 2 points before midday.
initial loss of q point and then q net
gain of that amount. Atchison Ans
lost IA points at the start and then
sold IL points over yesterdays clos
ing. The best gains were in Philadel-
phia e. Reading IS, which made new
high points up. and American I. G..
Chemical 5i2s, with o gain OF nearly
points.
Foreign Issues Not So Active.
The foreign convertibles were not so
active. Kreuger & Toll IS held about
point under yesterdays best, while
trading in Lautaro IS was mostly at
par, or at premium Of point over
the issue price. Italian Public Works
rs MADE 1factlOnal gain.
A fair amount of recovery occurred
in several of the junior rails. such as
Rock Island 412s, which were up y from
Yesterdays new low record; Frisco 4 Is
and Wabash 4loS. AS tomorrow Is the
final day for Rmaking deposits under
the Seaboard Air Line recapitalization
plan, there was q moderate demonstra-
ton in the consolidation IS Of this road,
which rose points. with the adjust
ment bonds fractionally higher. New
York Railway incomes were up 3A
points from their recent low and In
ternational Paper IS down 612 points
from the artificial level to which they
were bid this month.
The market for high-grade issues Is
extremely thin" Dealers report much
difficulty in dispoSing Of round lots OF
bonds and in obtaining firm bids any
where near the nominal market. There
is an absence Of demand from tnStitu-
lions, which appear to have less funds
to invest than usual at this time Of the
year. With the market rs 1t Is, some
Of them are holding of in anticipation
Of better purchasing basis later in
the season.
Syndicates Well Cleaned UP.
One strong feature Of the situation is
that nearly all of the syndicates, both
in bond and In preferred stocks, have
been well cleaned up. and for the first
time in many months there are no
"sick situations" overhanging the mar
ket.
The New York State banking depart
ment has removed from the legal list
in this State 81 municipalS and IL
public utility bonds. Included in the
latter are the issues Of Niagara Power,
Pacific Gas & Electric and the Union
Electric Light & Power Of Missouri. It
il understood this policy Is due mainly
to the failure OF the corporations and
municipalities to submit required in
formation and not to more fundamental

After telling how machines are

There is no avoiding the fact
that the Introduction of a machine

much coal as was formerly pro-
duced by two is going to throw one
of these men out of a job.
employers in the past felt no

that the responsibility Of the en-

SIN the experience of the Union

Of employees dropped from 1904 in
1928 to 1888 in 1928, and it would
