BONDS ARE DRIVEN
TO NEW Low MARK
Heavy Selling Affects Most
Sections of LiSt-U. S.
Group Higher.
BY r. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, September 1l-Bonds
dropped heavily into new low ground
today. the selling being of such broad
character that even the highest grade
OF corporate issues were affected. What
funds there were seeking investment
were diverted into United States Gov
ernmentS, which gained fractionally,
and into prime municipals, all of which
were marked up.
Measured by the averages, it was as
sharp . decline as the Investment
market has suffered in any one session
this year. Standard statistics index of
60 bonds dropped under 81 for the first
time since 1t has been compiled and the
general list was estimated to be at its
lowest point in more than eight years.
Railroad bonds averaged points under
their best average level on the recent
recovery.
At the start the list was steady, but
forced liquidation engendered by a
falling stock market Offset the favorable
reception accorded the British budget
plans. When continental markets turned
weak under a deluge of selling, bonds
here gained momentum on the down
grade. Losses OF / to 3 points occurred
In issues that have held to investment
levels all through the bear market.
Observation-Disclosures Transit IS, for
instance. broke over 2 points to a new
low. Canadian National Railway issues.
guaranteed by the Canadian govern
ment. were heavily sold Canadian
Paciflc Perpetual IS dropped more than
a point TO a fresh bottom for the year.
Chesapeake & Ohio B Alps were off a
point and at new low. Columbia Gas
d Electric IS were forced down a point.
Other new lows included Dodge Brothers
IS. Great Northern Is, Illinois 434s,
New York Central 3l2s. Pennsylvania
4As, Philadelphia Co. SIS, Texas Cor
poratton IS, Wabash first SIS and West
ern Union SIS.
The universal character Of the selling
MADE 1t plain that large volume of
distress liquidation was coming both
from domestic centers and foreign in
vestors. Many Of the bonds driven to
new lows are of the highest class listed
on this market. Buyers switched to
high-grade issues and the Junior group
was left almost devoid of bids.
In the foreign department there was
no renewal Of Thursdays heavy pres
sure on German bonds. but there were
few bids for them and what offerings
there were forced quotations lower Ger
man Preparations rs were of ~ points
at one time, but recovered Young Plan
5 IS remained heavy under so.
There were large block offerings of
Great Britain 5l2s, and an opening
gain was converted into a small loss,
but the issue resisted pressure, no doubt
because Of organized market support.
Canadian government issues were frac-
tionally lower. Australians were idle
In the South American list Brazilians
showed q better tone because of the
satisfactory results of the fourteenth
month Of operation of the coffee realiza-
ton plan.
