IRREGULAR
IN QUIET TRADING
Prime Group Holds Gains
Made in Recent Weeks.

BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 11.-Bonds
fluctuated irregularly in quiet trading
today, after a higher and more active
opening. While the activity at the start
could be traced to the psychological eff
feet of the heavy oversubscription of
the 325.000,00 offering of Treasury
1-year 29s per cent bills, later trading
developed some switching into the $751;
10000 of new bonds offered. Money
rates were unchanged.
Prime Group Firm.
The prime group held the advances
made at the opening, and some issues
continued active throughout the session.
Two features were Great Northern rs,
I'D "a. and Philadelphia Co. SIS, which
were turned over in large blocks, though
the price chung to its 1880 peak. Small
gains were made by Pennsylvania 4 l2s.
Frisco "A" As, Northern Pacific As,
Chesapeake 81 Ohio 4l2s American
Telephone SIS, Columbia Gas SIS, Utili-
ties Power Light 5i.s and American &
Foreign Power SIS.
A highlight of the convertible group
was the heavy selling OF international
Telephone & Telegraph convertible 4i2s.
The price fell off nearly point 70
equal the previous low for the year. The
some time, chiefly because the CONVEX
sion price up to July l, 1882, at $64'l5o4
per share. is out of line with the cur
rent market for the stock, around As
However. the bond, considered merely
on it's OWL merits, is equally secured with
the company's $35,000,000 debenture
AIS and $4,000 900 debenture IS, botn
of which are selling on slightly better
than per cent basis.
Junior rails were divided in their

fractions were active. Interborougf
bonds were all stronger, as reflection
of the election to the board of three
representatives of the Stockholders
Protective Committee. 1t is now be-
lieved that the Brooklyn Manhattan
Transit Co. can swing the Interborougf
around to the unification scheme. with
the prospect that security holders of the
latter road will be amply protected.
Industrial Quiet.
Industrials were quiet and unchanged
There was some further selling of Rich
field Oil 6s, which dropped point tt
equal the previous low for the year. The
loss was later regained. The company
is planning some new financing, saio
to total $lO,000,000, according to Los
Angeles advices.
The foreign department was dull
South American bonds were inclined tC
sag slightly, though there was so little
trading in most of the issues that ne
definite tendency could be detected. Ar
gentines held we'll. slightly below theil
closing levels of Wednesday. French
German and British credits were firm
Italian bonds were sold.

Russia's vast program Of internal re-
construction probably means that she
will not compete with American and
European manufacturers in the exporta-
ton of steel for many years to come.
But the rapid growth of her pig iron
and steel industry is another indica-
ton of her amazing business strides In
recent years.
American steel interests are watching
this development closely.
Treasury Notes.
When Secretary Mellon called Treas
ury notes aggregating $l,149 900, 900,
80 per cent interest for redemption on
March IS next. he indicated that the
United States Treasury Department is
willing to take advantage of the OPP
portunity to dip into the cheap liquid
funds now lying idle in the banks.
This new move was not entirely I'M
expected. The Government is required
TO give six months notice in advance,
and an announcement before September
is regarding these notes was in the air.
But apparently the quick reception
given to the Governments 23s per cent
issue, to be offered on September Is.
has been sufficiently encouraging to
lead the Secretary and the Treasury
officials TO believe that this entire issue
of over one billion dollars, drawing in
terest at ~ per cent, should be retired
next March.
