U. S. Treasury Issues and

BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 1.-The same
general conditions that have been re-
sponsible this week for the unsettled
markets in bonds had their effect on
prices again today. There were sections
of the list where good buying seemed
to be taking place on the basis of the
change in quotations. United States
Treasury loans were lower. There were
quite sharp declines in the market for
foreign dollar bonds.
The second-grade public utilities were
under most pressure and showed the
largest losses. Columbia Gas & Electric
SIS declined points and were at new
low for the year. The same amount OF
loss occurred in American Water Works
SIS. They also were lower than they
had been previously: international
Telephone & Telegraph issues, on the
other hand, were steadier. Western
Union IS of 1860 broke below 38 and
were off 81 points from the high of the
year.
In the industrial list Dodge Bros. IS
and Sinclair Oil rs touched new low
prices. Pure Oil 51as were affected
fractionally by the reduction in the div
idends of the preferred stocks OF the
company.
In high-grade rails and public utili-
ties the market was mixed. American
Telephone g. Telegraph issues were
higher. while Consolidated Gas bonds
we're off y point. Atchison As were at
one time down "a, but later rallied.
There are a number of underlying rail-
road mortgages of an inactive character
and with ratings of ''AAA" and "AA'
on which the field at present ranges
from 51a per cent to 10 per cent. There
are also public utility bonds with .AA
ratings on which the returns vary from
about per cent to 5l2 per cent.

Grain Market

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 1.-Grains showed
a downward price trend early today.
Action Of the Liverpool wheat market
was disappointing to bulls. Gables said
there was pressure on offerings of in
ferior quality of Argentine wheat
abroad
Opening at shade to q lower, Chi
cago wheat futures continued to sag.
Corn started unchanged to "a off, and
subsequently receded all around.
Irregularity of securities, together
with renewal Of disquieting financial
developments, acted as weight on
wheat values. Bears also emphasized
indications Of possible moisture relief
for drought districts in Kansas. Re-
ports current said Government financed
interests were selling July wheat at
Minneapolis, and that in the Pacific
Northwest growers were preparing to
replant throughout large areas where
wheat had been Winter killed.
With the wheat market lacking any
aggressive support, prices went about
"a under yesterdays finish before show
ing power to rally. Slight upturns
which ensued were attributed mainly to
buying for previous sellers who were in
a position to collect a profit. Other
wise, wheat trade was light. Corn and
oats sympathized with wheat weakness
Provisions reflected an upturn of hog
values.
