BONDS DEPRESSED
IN DRAGGY MARKET
Second and Third Grade
Rail Lists Are Sharply
Lower.
BY r. n. RICHARDsoN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 5.--Bonds sold
lower today in market that was active
at the opening, but later turned ex-
tremely dull.
The heaviest selling at the start and
seuuent dull period were found In the
second and third grade railroad list
The attack on carrier shares on Tues
day and reports that fresh casualties
In third-grade descriptions could not
be avoided were capped today by q
sharp decrease in carloadings at time
when q seasonal increase Is usual. Many
inactive carrier bonds, some Of which
sell only two or three times year,
were offered today at prices that dis
counted the decline the bond market
has had since its january high.
Nickel Plate AIS lost their late gains
Of Tuesday. Frisco B IS and 415s were
of point each. Illinois Central S.
SIS were OF points. Denver g Isic
Grande Western SIS dropped q point.
Other carrier issues that were lower
included Baltimore e. Ohio AIS Of
1860, Canadian Pacific SIS, Canadian
Pacific Debenture As, Big Four 4I5s,
Rock Island 4las of 1852, Great
Northern D 41es, Missouri Pacific
IS, st. Paul SIS. Northern Pacific IS,
Pennsylvania SIPS. Southern Pacific 41hs
of 1881 and Wabash SIPS.
The weakness in railroad securities
did not affect industrial bonds to any
great extent. Texas Corporations SIS
were a point lower and there were de-
clines In other oil bonds, but these were
attributable to chaotic conditions in the
oil industry. The New York City srac-
ton group made small gains. United
States Rubber SIS, Goodyear SIS, Good
rich IS and 612s and other rubber issues
were firm. Bonds Of internationally
affiliated concerns like international
Match SIS, American e. Foreign Power
SIS, Kreuger & Toll SIS. American /. q.
Chemical F1zs and Utilities Power &
Light SIS and 5I2s were steady. High
grade utilities were firm.
There was very thin trading IN
foreign dollar bonds. The German
group declined at the start because of
the uncertainty prevailing In Europe
on the reopening Of the German banks.
This, apparently, was accomplished
without disorder, though there was
some upset in European exchanges with
a sharp break in Sterling. Continental
markets were also weaker. Young Plan
SIS and Dawes Preparations rs both
sold down q point here but later re-
covered.
South American issues displayed
spectacular fluctuations in small trades.
Minas Geraes 612s dropped 8 points on
the sale of one bond. Sac Paulo Coffee
Loan Is were point lower. There was
little significance in these movements.
Australian issues were marked down.

sGain largely due to two companies.
The iron and steel industry building
material, railway equipment and petro-
leum industries show the largest drops
n profits.
Manufacturing costs and reduction
IN overhead has been highly essential
to maintain business during the last
two years of depression, and this is
now being evidenced in operating
statements. For the second quarter OF
the year q number Of companies re-
ported 4 profit. whereas during the first
three months they were operating IN
the "red."
Business, generally, seems to realize
Industry now Is ON an entirely diner
emit footing than IN 1929. Many OF the
old methods Of carrying on have been
changed to bring operations on plane
more commensurate with the lower
price level prevailing. Wholesale prices
today based on Department OF Labor
figures, are about 80 per cent below the
peak In 1929 and approximate the 1918
level Retail prices are 20 per cent
lower than year ago, but the cost OF
living is stili above the pre-war average.
All this has shown new obstacle In
the way Of business recovery. Credits
and loans have had to be repaid during
the last two years, thus depicting the
current income Of individuals. National
revenues are smaller. Universal ur-
employment has lowered the ability Of
many millions Of people TO purchase by
several billions Of dollars. Low prices
for agricultural produce have cut the
purchasing power Of a powerful group
OF purchasers Of Industrial machinery.
Producers OF raw materials are another
group which has been hard hit BY the
1al IN prices
The second quarters earnings can
be construed fairly as evidence that
business has at last arrived at adequate
understanding Of the new obstacles
facing It and have taken definite steps
Ia the solution of these problems.
