BOND PRICES DROP
IN FORCED SELLING
Trading Moderately Active
and Some Resistance
Is Found.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
pecial Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 15.-Continued
liquidation of stocks today resulted in
a moderately large volume OF forced
selling of bonds and prices marked down
to lower levels in the investment mar
ket. The pace, however, was not as
swift as that of the last hoar on Thurs
day and in a few cases support was
encountered.
Right from the opening it was appar-
ent that the market was once again
concentrating on the railroad bonds.
After a brief period CT short covering
in those issues that had wide declines
On Thursday, prices broke their previous
lows and dropped / to points. Vir-
tually the entire list Of junior rail OBJ
legations sold today at levels that showed
uncertainty as to interest payments. St.
Pauls sold around SO, off a point; Mis-
souri-Pacific General As around so, of 2
and International Great Northern ad-
tustments at 60, of IL.
The declines were as wide in the rest
OF the railroad group. Conservative is
sues, such as New York Central 4las,
Pennsylvania Az and Southern Pacific
AIS Of 1881, were only of fractionally,
but there were Q and 3 point declines
in Chicago Great Western As, Allie
ghany SIS OF 1914 and 1850. Atchison
convertible AIS, Chicago g. Northwest
ern G 412s. Rock Island AIS of 1852,
Missouri Pacific SIS, Frisco AIS, Wa
bash 412s and Western Maryland 5l2S.
Erie issues held well.
The forced liquidation was apparent
in the small declines in prime bonds.
such as Atchison general As, American
Telephone SIS. Chesapeake Corporation
SIS and Standard Oil of New Jersey SIS.
These losses were made and Cancelled
doU SiU
blocks were absorbed by the active in
bestment demand. United States Gov
eminent issues were again at new highs
and up 1882 to 1882 on the day. The
TreaSury's offering of $4,000, 900 in CO.
day bills and $50,000,000 in 9f-day
bills was oversubscribed AZ times, and
a total Of 500, 120 900 was allotted, at
| per cent, for the 60-day bills and
l.Ol per cent for. the 91-day bills. In
the municipal market prices we're firm.
reappraisal of the recent reassur-
ing statements from the Argentine to-
day resulted in resumption of heavy
liquidation of that country'S dollar
bonds. The assurances that the new
government will end the year without
a deficit were Offset by reports of a
rapidly strengthening radical organiza-
ton which intends to seize power Ar
gentine exchange was heavy and the
dollar bonds dropped ~ to points.
Chilean issues also were weak, notably
Chile Mortgage Bank bonds and the
government IS of 1868. Brazilian is
sues dipped on selling attributed to
Amsterdam and Brussels, where large
blocks of Brazilian utility and indus
trial obligations are held.
The cut in the Bank of England
rate was a bullish factor for British
government bonds, but the rest of the
European list was subjected to mod
crate selling with fractional losses in
German. Austrian, Polish and Czech
slovakian issues. Italian credits re-
manned firm
