NEW YORK, July 6.-Prices on the

Beyond the more hopeful outlook for

there was little in the news to influence

Brazilian Traction responded TO the
declaration Of the regular quarterly

the usual 7 per cent quarterly preferred

taken by Massachusetts, Power & Light

boards, took place during the forenoon.
Commonwealth Edison Co reduced its

Both Of these stocks declined shortly

from 80 to 80 cents by declaring q
quarterly disbursement of 20 cents.

Investment inventories.

NEW YORK, July 6 (SpeciaD In
dividuals and corporations as well as in
stitutions that inventoried their securi-
ties at the market on June 80 discovered
that the percentage Of decrease in them
in the last quarter was greater than in
any other period since the depression
set in. The heaviest declines were In
junior railroad bonds, public utility pre-
ferred stocks, public utility common
stocks and in the shares Of food COM
panies and chain stores which had re-
sisted the decline in previous periods
more than other groups. Going by pre-
cedent, the steel found some comfort in
the fact that in July and August of both
1880 and 1881 the market showed mod
crate periods of strength, but ran into
heavy liquidation in September, which
carried over into the remainder of the
year. On account of the terrific shrink
ages that have already occurred, it is
believed that while lower prices may be
made this Summer, the last three
months of 1892 will show a general ap-
probation in the securities account.

VALUATION
POLICY HOPED FOR
Banks and Insurance Firms
Anxious to Determine Gov
ernment Attitude.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 6.-Financial in
stitutions, including both banks and in
surance companies, are hopeful that
Federal and State officials will be as
l.ntent again this year in the matter of
valuing their security assets
Banks and insurance companies are
the principal buyers of bonds, and
while their funds are generally placed
In bonds Of triple "A" rating, these
bonds, as well as those Of tne second
and third ratings. have suffered III mar
ket value, owing to the abnormal con-
ditions of the past two years
Insurance Firm Holdings.
Insurance companies are the largest
holders of first mortgage railroad bonds.
But the record of insurance company
holdings shows that they have not
been stampeded into unloading them
despite poor traffic and earning statls-
tics. The first mortgage bonds in most
cases are well secured with roadoed
property, which, even in liquidation,
Ghould stand to bring more than the
bonded debt outstanding against them.
But the market prices Of these bonds
regardless of security considerations,
have been included in the persistent
down drift.
DdIlkS anu 1IlSuIhIlCc COlupdllAOo oAA'NS
are under careful regulations designed
to safeguard the nature of investments
into which the funds of their depositors
and policy holders are placed.
Last year the insurance superlnteno-
entS of New York and other States per-
mitted the companies to value thelr
security holdings at pric~- ruling IN
more nearly normal market times.
Similar consideration was given also IN
the case of banks operating under
State charters. The controller OF cur
rency, who directs the basis on Whlcn
national banks shall value their security
holdings was equally liberal.
This evidence of leniency by various
governmental authorities has been oaSeo
on their conviction that present market
prices do not represent normal or true
valuation Of securities. Setting ASIDE
the question of earnings, or OF present
and future business prospects OF COM
panies in whose bonds the banks ana
Insurance companies have made large
investments, there have been repeated
indications to show that lower market
prices have been caused by distress
selling. With absence Of a counter
balancing influence in the form of
steady investment buying, such selling
has driven prices of many securities to
levels believed well below their intrinsic
value.
Intrinsic Values"
There has been some discussion
among bankers and insurance execu-
tives of suggestion that these insti-
tutions be permitted to set the value
of their holdings at their intrinsic
value" But one difficulty has stood in
the way of this proposal, namely. just
how and by whom is the intrinsic value
Of any security to be determined. Sew
eral bankers are among those who state
that they would not want to assume
the responsibility Of setting such figures.

RECOVERY IN BOND
, PRICES CONTINUES
s Market Turns Active, With
Foreign Group Leading
Brisk Advance.
BY F. HI. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 6.-Led by the
foreign list bonds reached new high
ground on the recovery today. Trad
ing was more active than in any ses-
sion since early June.
The market opened with sharp gains
In the German list and this influence
soon spread throughout the European
group Advices from Lausanne have
convinced the speculative element in
Wall Street that the reparations nego-
tiations are near an agreement.
The main point Of significance so far
Is that all the reparations negotiators
agree on the necessity Of full service
on the Young and Dawes loans. Hence,
there has been an unprecedented re-
covery in these and other German dol
lar issues. Young plan 512s today were
approximately 100 per cent higher than
their 1882 low, while Dawes reparations
rs have had rs per cent appreciation.
German states and municipal loans
and the bonds of German corporations,
which presumably would retain an un-
interrupted status, ran up sharply with
the governments. Gains of TO points
were spread through the list Of such
descriptions as Berlin IS, Prussian IS,
Saxon 612s. Sienans and Halske 615s.
German General Electric 6s. Rhineland
westphalia Electric IS and Unterelbe
Power & Light 6s
The rest of the European list reflected
this strength. as well as the flrmness OF
European and other foreign curreneies
against the dollar Japanese bonds were
sharply higher Japan recently paid
bond maturity in full and early opera
tions Of the yen-control scheme have
shown that yen quotations have been
maintained and a sufficient supply of
dollar exchange made available in Japan
for the export of all sums required for
interest and sinking fund payments on
external debts.
Australian government and state
bonds were sharply higher again, all
reaching new highs for the movement.
The rapid clearing up Of the govern
mental states in Australia was reflected
in sharply higher prices for Australian
IS, New South Wales 5s, Queensland 6s
and rs, Sydney 5 l2s and other common
wealth bonds
The SPECTATORS again turned their at
tention to railroad bonds. Sharp ad-
vanceS in Nickel Plate IS and Rock
Island 412s of 1852 quickly extended to
other second and third grade carrier
obligations. Gains of to 3 points oc-

This organization aims and mo-

thing the people of Sussex takes Sc

HARRINGTON

Harrington visited Dagsboro Sat
urday afternoon and evened the SER
les of games at one each. 1t was
left-hander against lefty-hander
when "Towny" Masten did the hurl-
ing for the locals against Carey the
Sussex county star. Carey was re-
lieved by .Donoway later in the
game. Each side collected eleven
hits but the locals were able to con-
meet more frequently with runners
on the base paths. Almost every
member of the local nine collected
at least two hits. Campbell with
three hits led his teammates at bat;
Parsons singled twice, as did Dono-
way. Short and Lord batted 500
with two hits out of four trips to
the plate.
On a close play at the plate Zip"
Locates slid into the home plate and
was called safe by Umpire Bunting.
An argument ensued, Bunting threw
down his mask and protector and
quit on the spot after telling Man
ager Campbell of the Dagsboro club
what he had to say in reference to
the game. Larson, of Millsboro, then
agreed to umpire and a short time
later was knocked out when a fast
pitch was fouled back, went through
the mask and broke the nose of Lar
son.
Harrington succeeded in winning
from both Milford and Dagsboro
during the past week. The locals
played Milford at Harrington on
Tuesday evening and Delmar here
on Thursday evening.
The score:
