NEW YORK, June IL dN.SJ.
The bond market was q steady
affair in the forenoon trading
today with many issues showing
no change from the previous
close.
In the investment section of
the list trading proceeded at a
snail's pace and the trading
apathy was most evident.
Bonds Of the second grade and
more speculative caliber were
generally steady.
Industrial bonds also were
steady with Youngstown Sheet IS
unchanged. National dairy 51as
lost fractionally but the Inter
national Telephone IS were un-
changed.
United States Government liens
were quiet and generally steady.
with the Liberty Fourth 4As off
slightly and the Treasury 33as
OF 1910 unchanged.

A gold reserve Of only $44.s00,-

the dollar and slightly less than
$26, 100000 on the old dollar
parity) is now held by the Ger
man Reichsbank. There was o
further drop Of rm. 100000
during the week ended June 7 to
rm. 111,1O0,000. Gold holdings
now are less than one-third of
what they were a year ago.
Return of currency from circu-
lation following the end of the
month requirements failed to Off
set the drop in reserves, so that
the ratio dropped to another
record low Of 3.4 per cent, against
81 per cent q week before. Circu-
lation declined rm. 1877 500, 900 to
rm. $780,, 100000.
The acute fear Of immediate de-
valuation Of the Reichsmark
which swept over the foreign ex-
change market few days ago,
precipitating a sensational break
in the rate for free marks, had
largely subsidized Saturday; the
rate had regained almost all Of
the lost ground.
Despite the improvement in the
spot rate, however, the foreign
exchange market is no more trust
full of the future of the mark.
Future marks quotations are
highly nominal: practically no
business Is being done.
