H|GH-GRADE BOND
LIST SHOWS LOSS
v. S. Group Fairly Steady.
Rails hreguIar-Foreign
Issues Uncertain.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 10.-High-grade
industrial bonds, which have been
holding comparatively well throughout
the decline in the market, showed
further signs of reaction today, though
the volume of offerings was small.
There was a steady market in United
States Government issues, an irregular
one in railroad securities and an un-
even tendency in the foreign group.
National Dairy Products 5l4s, whose
break of nearly points on Monday
excited much comment, were up over 2
points by midday today. This recovery
reflected the conclusion of a selling
order that apparently was not well
handled and which brought a sharp de-
cline in bond that has always had
high rating. Last year the company
retired $2,462, 900 of its debentures
under the sinking fund requirement
and purchased 81 ,472 900 additional. At
no time previously have the bonds sold
in the present range, where they yield
nearly per cent.
Liggett & Myers IS declined a point
and Bethlehem Steel purchase money
IS the same. United Drug IS have been
O11CIcO ulOIc freely Ills week. several
points under their recent level Among
the lower-grade industrials, Goodyear
IS and International Cement SIS were
weak. The issues of the communication
companies were steadier
Irregular movements occurred in the
better grade railroad bonds. Baltimore
& Ohio first As were off points, while
Northern Pacific IS gained over 2. Ju-
nior rails fluctuated fractionally with
no outstanding development in this
group, which has touched level dis
counting most of the troubles that
threaten.
Government bonds moved up IN to "a
In the early part Of the session. They
represented the largest total in the days
transactions. The strongest issues were
the 31ss, which crossed 95; the IS, above
81, and the 3&s, which sold at about
1907. 1t is expected additional
financing for June maturities will be
discussed within the next two weeks.
French government loans and mu-
nicipals were fractionally lower. Ger
man issues showed little change.
Italian government rs lost part of the
previous days advance Argentine and
Belgian bonds were steady. In general,
the foreign list was rather colorless.
The average price Of bonds listed on
the New York Stock Exchange on Nav
was 74.49, compared with 1912 on
April and 9542 year ago. The mar
ket value of these bonds in the past II
months has deprecated $4,000. .0o0, 900.
