BONDS ARE LOWER
IN QUIET TRADING
Market Affected by Contin-
ued Weakness in
Stock Prices.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2S.-Bond
prices worked lower today under the
influence of continued weakness in
stocks. However, the dips, except in
few cases, were not wide and it could
be said that the market held well.
Trading was in only moderate vol
ume. There was no evidence OF or
from the operation of a bankers pool,
as was reported last week. Money
rates were unchanged.
The feature during the first hour was
q sharp break of 515 points in Mobile
d. Ohio secured per cent notes, due
1888. In the first two hours nearly
100000 of these notes were thrown on
the market, following the removal Of
the syndicate's firm bid at the offering
price of 9812. The price was driven
down below a 9-point discount. The
notes, offered September by a syndi-
cate headed by j. p. Morgan q Co, are
secured by the deposit of 100000 Of
Mobile & Ohio refunding and improve
ment mortgage IS of 1877.
The only other movements downward
of any width in the investment section
of the market were in Chesapeake &
Ohio General AIS, off 70, and American
Telephone 512s, of a point. Small de-
clines were shown by United States
Government long-term bonds, Atchison
General As, Southern Pacific AVS,
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy AIS,
Chesapeake Corporation SIS, Philadel-
phia Co. SIS, and Youngstown Sheet g.
Tube, SIS.
Against this tendency there were
advances in Baltimore 81 Ohio As, New
York Central Is, Union Pacific IS,
Standard Oil Of New Jersey IS and
Western Union SIS.
Convertibles were weak, rejecting de-
clines in their companion stocks. Inter-
national Telephone AIS were OF over
a point and American Telephone AIS
dropped 2 points.
Secondary rails were mixed Chicago
Great Western IS, st. Paul Adjustments,
Denver & Rio Grande Western SIS,
Florida East Coast SIS, Missouri Pacific
IS and Frisco 41ss dropped fractionally,
but there were gains In Erie General
Lien As, International Great Northern
Adjustments, Seaboard Airline IS and
Boston & Maine IS. The only wide de-
cline in this section was in st. Paul SIS,
of over 2 points. Industrials were quiet,
with many small fluctuations, most of
them downward.
Foreign bonds were mostly unchanged.
German issues lost fractionally, and so
did South Americans, but other changes
were hardly quotable
Out of 214 active issues in the entire
bond list ~ were lower, 81 were higher
and Ill were unchanged.
New issues today amounted to $5,000,-

Add the first five items in the first
column and we find 66.8 cents out OF
every dollar the Federal Government
spent was for some war expense, past

Florida Indebtedness.
Chief Justice Glenn B. Terrell Of

frank statements in recent decision

mandamus requiring the city OF San
ford to levy taxes In order to cover
payment of current interest on bonds
Issued by 1t, he said, with reference to

cit was a time when the municipal
fly and citizens alike were actuated by
reckless extravaganza that spread like

social order. So completely did
the mania for gathering where we had
not sowed and spending the increment
overcome us that our very conduct i'm
pressed the stigma Of contempt upon
the old-time virtues Of thrift, integrity,

Decline in Sterling.

Misunderstanding, which began the
year at $4.877s, dropped steadily, with
few reversals of trend, to low OF
$4.85 1882 on November %. Low inter-
est rates and the constant flow Of Eng
lands gold to France, together with
sales of sterling against francs, per-
mitted little opportunity Tor real
strength in the exchange.
Germany.-The Reichsmark huctuated
between 1891 cents and 23.77 cents
During the first few months OF the
year the exchange was quite firm, and
gold was imported from London and
Paris. Weakness set in after the Ger
man general elections, due to political
unsettlement, but confidence was soon
restored, an external loan was arranged
and funds again began to now TO Ger
many in increased volume TO benent
by the higher interest rates prevailing
there.
Spain.-Political uncertainty and eco
nornic unrest caused violent fluctuations
in the value of the peSeta. From h1gh
of 1917 cents in the early part OF the
wear it deprecated steadily to q low OF
9.52 on October Is, but due to skillful
handling by the Bank OF Spain ex-

in September, and renewed commence,
because of their willingness to ship golo
to replenish foreign balances, 1t has
steadily recovered and reached 1l.6O on
November IA. Since then rumors OF
civil connection have caused renewed
depreciation.

STABILITY OF GOLD
STANDARD SHOWN
Foreign Exchanges Have
Moved in Narrow Range
During 1890.
BY w. H. SCHUBARr,

Vice President, international Acceptance
Bank, Inc.
NEW YORK, December 23 CP.-With
very few exceptions, foreign exchanges
have moved within a comparatively mar
row range during 1880. This is espe-
cially noteworthy in view Of recent po-
litical unrest and unsettled conditions
Of international trade, caused by fall
ing commodity prices and erection of
trade barriers in many countries.
Notwithstanding the severe trials Of
an epoch almost unprecedented for the
scope of its economic disturbances, the
currencies based on gold acquitted
themselves remarkably well. As was to
be expected there has been a consid-
cradle movement Of gold bullion between
various international centers.
The operations of the bank for inter-
national settlements in transferring its
balances from one central bank to an
other, are gradually gaining in inn
portance in stabilizing the principal
exchanges, and this influence will no
doubt have an important bearing on
future exchange markets, and should
minimize the international shipping Of
gold bullion.

LineS-New York Central, Pennsyl-

holding another conference here today
for further discussion Of consolidation
plans.
Although Wall Street has heard that
the roads are nearer an agreement on
this long-standing problem than they
have been in several years, 1t was re-
garded as improbable that solution
would be reached Immediately. so far,
nothing offlcial has come out Of the

Effect of Silver Decline.

Far East. - Almost all the Far
Eastern exchanges have deprecated
considerably during the year. Being on
a silver basis, the Chinese currencies
have suffered severely on account OF
the unprecedented drop in the value
of this metal Japan returned TO the
fold of gold standard countries by lift
ing its embargo on the shipment OF
gold on January IL and sent to the
United States over 40 per cent OF our
entire gold shipments for the year. AS
a result the yen has been quite firm,
and from low of 40 cents in January
has risen to 1880 in october.

KLEIN SEES TRADE
IN SLOW RECOVERY
World Surplus of Goods Is
Basis of Business Trouble,
He Believes.
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 23.-Julius
II. Klein's three months trip to Europe
and the Near East has not made him
very enthusiastic regarding immediate
business recovery. Upon his return yes
terday, the Assistant Secretary of Com
merce said:
"A world surplus of goods is the basis
of all our trouble. We are beginning to
catch up; but it Is going to be long.
DR.. Klein also said that he believed
commodity prices in the United States
have reached at last their lowest levels;
but the outlook in Europe is not so
good and will be worse before it is
better.
France" he continued, 'is beginning
to feel the bite of the whole situation
now. Every nation must feel it now
adays because they are all interlocked
economically. France has been in bet
ter condition so far because she has had
so much gold"
DR.. Klein thinks that one of the
mank things keeping Europe from going
ahead is lack of money; all European
nations realize now that the United
Strawn's View.
Silas H. Strawn, Chicago business
man, lawyer and banker, vice president
of the International Chamber of Com
merce, also returned from Europe yes
marks regarding conditions as he saw
them.
THE present economic situation diff
fers from all Others" Mr.. Strawn said.
Because 1t is worldwide and an early
recovery can be accomplished only with
the cooperation of the citizens of all
nations, it is a condition calling for the
leadership of business men and finan-
cial men"
Upon the subject Of Russian goods
being dumped on the world markets,
Mr.. Strawn said:
"The Russians are forcing upon the
world large quantities Of grain, raw
materials and finished products at
prices which, in many instances, are
below the normal costs OF production.
It does not seem practicable to stop
this practice by collective action"
Mr.. Strawn inferred that the in
creasing unemployment in each Euro
pean country is the power which Is
now forcing European manufacturers
to not only trade with Russia, but to
extend credit to her, often on more ia
own fellow countrymen, for by this
method 1t enables the various countries
to keep up their own production.
Russia remains not only the biggest
problem in Europe, but in the world.
Every American business leader, who
studies Europe at all, indicates as much
upon his return.

tax dollar, as actually distributed for

Gold Movements.
Imported Exported

France, in addition to being the
source of heaviest demand upon the
United States for gold, also drew con-
siderably from England, Germany and
Holland, and it Is estimated that the
gold holdings of the Banque de France
increased from 81 1888 100000 on Janu-
airy /, 1880, to $2,037, 100,000 on No
vember 80, 1880. Since this latter date
there are almost daily reports of further
large shipments from London to Paris,
and it Is anticipated that this move
ment will continue into the new year.
During the greater part of the year the
franc has been very firm, fuctuating
between 1881 and 3.91 cents. The ex-
PLANTATION of this heavy gold movement
and the continued strength Of the ex-
change lies in the partial repatriation
Of French funds, which, on account OF
the severe drop in interest rates
throughout the world, were not yield
ing the returns which they had prev!-
ously enjoyed.
