BOND PRICES AGAIN
EXTREMELY WEAK.
Railroad Securities Follow
Stocks in Renewed Sell
ing Wave.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 27.-Extreme
weakness in junior railroad bonds
again featured bond trading today.
The main factor was a renewed SELL
ing wave in rail stocks on the big
board, following the omission Of the
Pere Marquette common dividend.
While this, as an isolated instance,
might not ordinarily have much effect,
it came as one of long series of such
omissions or reductions and this par
ticular one affects Allegheny Corpora
ton and Chesapeake Corporation. own
ers Of large blocks of Pere Marquette
stock. Some of 1t is pledged as col
lateral behind Allegheny IS and these
were weak today. SO were Chesapeake
Corporation SIS.
Another bad spot in the railroad list
was the declines ranging from 2 to 3
points In St. Louis-San Francisco is
sues. The AIS dropped below so to a
new record low for the first time. The
General IS and SIS, which mature July l.,
sagged to prices that reflected wide
spread doubt as to the refinancing
plans for the $500, 900 of IS and IS
outstanding. The influence Of these
drops caused heavy declines in many
other issues.
Some comfort might conceivably be
derived from the fact that prices were
widely lower on comparatively small
sales. The most widely affected issues
were Boston & Maine SIS, Chicago &
Eastern Illinois IS. st. Paul SIS. Rock
Island A AIS. Denver 6S Rio Grande
Western IS, Erie IS, Illinois Central
434s. Missouri-Pacific IS and general
IS, New York Central 4Ns, Nickel Plate
AIS, Pennsylvania AVS, Pere Mar
uuette AIS and Western Maryland
51ss.
Even some of the more conservative
carrier mortgages were subjected to
liquidation by over cautious investors.
Union Pacific first As dropped over half
point. Atchison General As were off
fractionally, as were Baltimore & Ohio
first As.
Prime issues such as American Tele-
phone SIS and Consolidated Gas SIPS
maintained their levels, in spite of the
weak tone. There were a few small
gains in issues like American /. G.
Chemical 51as, International Match
SIS, and McKesson g. Robbins SIPS, but
these were partly lost in later trading.
and. In general, the whole list had a
heavy tone.
Consolidated Gas of New York Of
fered $60,000,000 of 20-year Az per
cent debenture bonds priced at l01.
The bonds were reported quickly sold
The company will announce the offer
ing Of about $4,000 900 of common
stock at 800 par and without par
within the next few weeks.
United States Government issues
were strong. So were municipals.
In spite of a number of statements by
bankers and foreign bond experts, in
Guiding such a noted authority as Prof e.
economic studies in South America, the
liquidation Of foreign dollar bonds was
about as bad today as on any day In the
past 10 months. The price declines we're
extravagant though the volume Of sales
was only of moderate proportions.

present proration schedules there most
uncertain.
Railway freight car loadings for the
week ended May 16 increased 283 cars
above the week before to a total of
747,132. Although this report shows
an actual increase. it becomes less IA
vorable than at first apparent, when
II Is realized that the normal trend
Ior this week OF the year shows much
sharper upward movement. The freight
ciassincation covering merchandise in
less-than carload lots, including much
OF the finished products shipped, failed
notably to participate in the weeks

Net operating income of the first 81
railroads to report for April was PA
per cent under April, 1880, making a
disappointing comparison with the
March operating income Of the same

March, 1890
Steel mill operations throughout the
country, as indicated by steel ingot
output, remained at about the same
level as last week, around A per cent

This leveling OF operations after last

STEEL INDUSTRY
FAILS TO IMPROVE
Recent Institute Meeting Has
Little or No Effect on
Business.
Nv the Associnted press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 27.-Neither the
tempo Of buying nor the trend OF prices
and production has been noticeably af-
fected by the frank airing of views at
the recent meeting Of the American Iron
& Steel Institute, Iron Age will say to-
morrow in its weekly review of the steel
industry.
Demand remains sluggish the Re-
view says, land in the aggregate con-
tinues to taper; prices in scattered in
stances have given further ground, but
in the main are unresponsive, owing to
the Cearth of new business; output Is
still slowly declining.
''Sentimentally, however, the effect of
bringing the industry's difficulties 'out
into the open has been salutary Steel
executives we're jolted into a fuller real
ization of their present straits and the
consequences of a further aggravation
of market instability. Their apprehen-
sions have been heightened by the I'M
checked rise of costs as mill output
grows more intermittent.
Prospects Not So Good.
Aggregate current specifications for
such products as sheets, strips, cold
finished bars and wire products are
hardly sufficient to justify more than a
two-oay-a-week operation. Releases in
other products offer no promise of early
Improvement. Structural steel and re-
inforcing bar mills are holding their
own, but fail to show expected gains.
Mills benefiting from recent pipe line
awards have been able to increase their
schedules somewhat, but production of
standard pipe defects no seasonal ex-
pansion. Rail mill operations continue
to decline and tin plate output, although
still at a 10 per cent rate, is headed
downward
Raw steel production, less cratic
than finished steel output. has again
given ground at Pittsburgh, Chicago and
Buffalo and now averages A per cent
for the country at large. compared with
IS per cent week ago.
Finished steel prices show little
change in the absence OF interest in
third quarter business. Strip mills are
making some effort to raise quotations
on contracts for the next quarterly
period, and sheet mills hope to make
recently revised price schedules effec-
tive, but actual market tests are still
lacking. Sellers Of Standard Pipe have
advanced quotations slightly on direct
shipments, partly offsetting recent re-
Gucticn."
Auto Consumption Declines.
Reinforcing bar lettings, at e,100 tons,
are the largest for any week since mid
April. Structural steel awards and
inquiries, at 10000 tons each, are SUBJ
normal.
Automobile consumption Of pig ircn
and steel continues to decline. May
premises to fulfill expectations of q
peak output Of 10000 cars, but a de-
cline IN production next month is be-
coming increasingly certain.
A decline in basic pig iron Of 81 ton
IN the Pittsburgh district brings the
Iron Age pig iron composite price down
TO $3.50 gross ton, the lowest since
1915, while the heavy melting steel
scrap composite has declined to $9.75
ton, end approaches the low of 1913
in 1914. The finished steel composite
price Is unchanged at ALA cents
pound.
