H. H. Franklin Manufacturing. de-

NEW YORK, July l2.-Bonds were

day Early losses in the foreign de-
partment were partly retraced
from abroad and from Washington
continued to show a wide divergence in
interpretations of the Lausanne agree
ment, though the market was heart
ened by the speech of Premier Mac
Donald in the British House of Com

would be no return to the Young plan
if the United States failed to scale
down war debts.
- Young plan SIPS and Dawes repara-
tions Is. which had dipped 2 to 3points
in early trading, recovered much OF the
lost ground. German municipals such
as Berlin 6S, Prussia 6S, Saxon rs and
Cologne 6i2s firmed up. German in
duStrials held.
The European list was heavy at the
start and, through sheer inactivity,
failed to pick up much of the lost
ground in late trading. The spread of
the revolt in Brazil brought small
amount of liquidation in Brazil 612s
and IS, Sac Paulo rs and IS and the
bonds of the states of Minas Geraes
and Rio de Janeiro. Chilean issues were
also heavy because of the continued
rumblings of political troubles there.
On the other hand Argentine IS were
firmer. The Argentine wheat crop is
reported to be large and in excellent
condition. Japanese government bonds
were firm.
The Canadian list was again strong.
Canadian Pacific bonds gained frat
tionS and there were small rises in
Canadian National Railways issues,
guaranteed by the Canadian govern
ment. Montreal funds were firm. On
tario Power Service 5 IS resumed their
advance. At one time they were Is

take care of an amount equal to the

Socialists in the Diet withdrew their
support from a Communist demand
that the present Prussian dictator

The demand was embodied In Z
Communist bill passed last month

expected repeal of that bill. and fol-
a time 1t looked as though the Diet

1t was to the effect that so long as
the present government Of Prussia

that motion will be taken Thursday
and then the Diet probably will ad-
journ until after the Reichstag elec-
