crease. During the period covered the
quarterly income tax payments fell due:
this, together with taking up of new is

Of the gain.

Statistics from trade and industry
published during the week, on the
whole, were disappointing. Operations
in the steel industry we're maintained
at about So per cent Of capacity, the

from the various steel centers offered
little basis for expectation of any size

buying of sheets has been noticeable

Tin plate manufacturers have also re-

plants the Fall upturn has been further
delayed by dearth of current ordering

is the ability of sheet producers TO

BONDS ARE HEAVY.
GERMAN LIST WEAK.
Anxiety Over Political Situa-

Selling Pressure.
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The star.

OpeCthl DlSphJcn 10 Inc BtaF.
NEW YORK, September 22.-Dom-
mated by the anxiety over the foreign
situation and influenced by the weak
ness in stocks, the bond market today
was heavy for the investment descrip-
lions and lower for the more specu-
lative obligations
The feature was the offerings of Ger
man and South American bonds. There
was no fresh news of adverse import
from Berlin, but German issues were
pressed upon market unwilling to re-
ceive them, except at concessions.
Traders were made nervous by the rel
atively greater weakness in these Ger
man bonds in London. The New York
market has always looked to London
for guidance in these matters and 1t
did not help sentiment here when the
new German 5K2s sold at q larger dis
count from the offering price abroad
than they did here.
New lows were made today in this
market by the German SIPS and the
German Is. The loss in the former
could be explained partially by the fact
that they had not been well placed,
either on this side or in Great Britain;
but German Is, the old Dawes plan
bonds, sold down to 1C2, or under the
call price
South American issues were heavy in
response to the reports of disturbances
in Chile and in Uruguay. All the Chi
lean obligations were down a point or
two and Uruguay IS and MontlVideo IS
were depressed. Some Of the selling
may have been for short account but
it had the same effect as If 1t had been
real liquidation. Province Of Santa Fe
Is was the weakest of the Argentine
bonds, dropping over points. At 81
they equaled their previous 1880 low.
Foreign corporate securities went down
with the government obligations, Ilseder
Steel IS being q case in point. A curl
Gus exception to the trend was the Do
minican Republic 51as of 1912, which
advanced almost 4 points from the
previous sale on single string Of trans
actions.
Domestic bonds were irregular with,
however, more declines than advances.
Local fractions were supported for
time. In the railroad list there was
buying of Western Maryland As in suffi-
cient volume to put the issue to a new
high for the year. Nashville, Chatta-
nooga & st. Louis As also made q new
1880 high. Convertible bonds went
down with their respective stocks, with
International Telephone AVS one of the
most active. Trading in the market as
q whole was larger than on Saturday.

points under the September high.
Bonds, with the exception of the foreign
section, continued to advance. The in
dex Of 80 high-grade issues attained q
new record high for the year on Satur-
day. Weakness in the foreign division
was largely confined to German obli-
cations. which were disturbed by rumora
OF political unsettlement Commodity
prices we're generally lower. Copper was
reduced to 10Z2 cents a pound, the low
est level since 1897. The unsatisfactory
statistical position of the industry, to-
gether with the report that q number OF

vance requirements for a considera bic
