BONDS ARE LOWER
7 IN QUIET MARKET
Hiqh- Grade List Continues to
Attract Buyers-0ther.
Issues Decline.
BY r. HI. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 2.-Ied by the
Junior railroad group, bonds today
cirifted into new low ground for the de-
preston. Trading was slow. There
was no volume of liquidation, but there
was an almost entire absence OF bids
for anything except United States Gov
eminent bonds and the very cream OF
the corporation list.
Carrier issues sold of at the opening,
but the rest Of the list held well for .
time. Then the downturn was precipi-
tated by a sudden slump in such bonds
as Frisco 41as, Cotton Belt As, Balti-
more g. Ohio 4l2s, Erie refunding SIS,
Mobile g. Ohio AVS, New York Central
SIS, Chicago g. Northwestern Ans,
Southern Railway IS and Allegheny
Corporation IS. Losses ranged from J
to points.
The offerings came chiefly from nerv-
Gus investors who were disturbed by the
Interstate Commerce Commissions s
order to the St. Louis-San Francisco to
reduce its fixed charges-which, IN
other words, means to reorganize. Fail
ing the consent Of the roads security
holders, the reorganization could not be
carried out in any other way than by a
receiverShip. Bids were lacking for even
fairly well secured prior lien obligations,
such as Frisco A Is, Baltimore 81 Ohio
first Is and Great Northern rs, and
bonds of this class, therefore, partici-
pated in the decline.
Another unsettling development was
the default in interest payments Of the
Southern Minnesota Joint Stock Land
Bank. The bank has about $21, 900 900
outstanding in bonds. In the foreign
list there were defaults In Greek gov
NJ T,kn kAk
poration 5s, Montevideo IS and Hun
garian Land Mortgage Institute TVS.
These had been generally expected.
Among domestic industrials and utili-
ties resistance was shown by issues Of
the highest investment merit such as
American Telephone IS, Consolidated
Gas SIPS, New York Telephone Avs,
Standard Oil Of New Jersey IS, Stand
ard Oil of New York Az, General
Motors Acceptance IS, and Midvale
Steel SIS.
United States Government issues were
firm. Trading in them was not heavy
and it was apparent that the Federal
Reserve while picking up what bonds
were offered at the market was not
pushing its purchases as vigorously as
last week. Municipal bonds ranged
narrowly higher on q continuation Of
the movement out of taxable securi-
ties into prime state and city loans.
The feature Of the foreign list was
the strength Of Great Britain 5las.
London markets were closed today and
much of the buying of the 5ias which
are payable In New York funds, ena-
mated from London. Britishers believe,
in view of the intention Of the British
Treasury to issue an unlimited internal
bond issue that buying Of the 51ss
was firm. German government bonds
eased. Balloting in France was viewed
as improving prospects for q Franco
German rapproachement. French gov
ernment issues sold ut new highs for
the movement.

GAS IN TREES

The presence Of inflammable gas
in trees is not infrequently noted
by foresters making timber growth
studies in some Of our southern
states, says r. r. Reynolds, Of the
United States forest service. At
times it is present in such quaint
tiles that the use Of an increment
morer on the trees will result in
q explosion that resembles the
crack Of an air rifle and a lighted
match applied to the handle Of the
borer will cause the gas to ignite
and burn for a number Of seconds,
he says.

MOUNT VERNON CHURCH
CONCERT,

THE third in the series Of recitals
l. given by the Mount Vernon School
of Music, R. Deane Shure. director. was
given last night at Mount Vernon
Church by Gladys Roe Thrift organist,
and Beatrice Downer Holland. contralto::
The opening number, "Toccato and
Fugue," by Bach, was played by Miss
Thrift in q scholarly manner. This
astoundingly difficult fugue is seldom
attempted by any but mature organiStS,
and the performer proved to be Just
that.
The impressionistic sketch May
Night" by Palmgren. was diffused with
eerie atmosphere which was highly
Favorable. Another gigantic bit of
organ literature by Max Roger, the
Introduction and Passacaglia," built
upon a single phrase announced by the
pedal organ, was given an adequate
reading.
Shure's CLOUD on Sinai" was charac-
teristic Of that writer's mood and was
applauded by the audience. The pro-
gram closed with Rogers "Toccata in
G Minor" This being a thoroughly
characteristic American composition,
was performed enthusiastically by Miss
Thrift who deserves much credit for
her playing of so pretentious program.
She was ably assisted by Beatrice
Downer Holland, contralto, whose voice
has rich tonal colo, especially in the
lower registers. Her selections, many
of them from opera, were sung with
clear diction and fine musicianship.
Her numbers we're: MY Heart Is
Weary" Thomas; "Rondo and Gavotte,"
Thomas; mo. Neer Hath Page" Meyer
beer, and 'Elizabeth's Prayer" Wagner.
