LOSSES SUFFERED
BY FOREIGN BONDS
Domestic List Leans Back
Heavily AS Market Tries
To Evaluate War Move

NEW YORK, May 10.-lR-De-
clines of / to 5 points were common
in the foreign section of the bond
market today and the domestic list
leaned back heavily as the imam
cial community tried to evaluate the
invasion of Belgium and Holland by
Germany.
Brokers described the action in
corporate and U. S. government
bonds as Enlightened selling" which
caused buyers to withdraw pending
a better insight into the latest turn
in the war. But in the foreign list
it was "distressed' selling OF the
most acute type with holders OF OBJ
legations of Europe's warning ma
lions accepting whatever they could
get.
A case in point was the transfer
of one Belgian Z per cent bond at
u SIS, a drop of Is IL points. 1t
was the only sale Of that kingdoms
bonds during the day but it was not
because they were not offered, out
| rather because no one wanted &c
buy. Holland has nc government
bonds outstanding in this country.
A few of the wide losers included
Australia SIS, off 3 at SO; Canada IS,
off 8 3-4 at 70; Denmark 5 LIS, of
2 IL at %; Irish Free State Stamp
ed IS, off 5 at Is; New South Wales
SIS, off 3 rs at 81; Queensland rs, off
4 SIS at 80 Is; Japan 5 LIS, off
at so; German Is, off 2 3-S at II SIS
and Italy Is, off 3 at 50.
The domestic list was dotted with
declines of 1 to 8 points or more
Typical were international Tele'
phone IS at 33; Goodrich 4 las at
1O3; Santa Fe as at 104 IL and
Pacific Gas 3 3-4s at ITO 1-S.
U. S. governments Joined the
downward parade. Losses extended
up to a point or slightly more for
some long term maturities. It was
the widest break in this strong Sec
ton of the market since the wal
started last September.
The Associated Press average OF
10 foreign bonds dropped to a new
1910 low at AL, off 2 points and only
a little better than 2 points away
from the 1889 low of All. Other
groups in the compilation were down
from 6 of a point to IL points.
Total sales of $10,4S5,550, par val
ue, were the largest since last April
4, and compared with $7,256,450 on
Thursday.

BOND AVERAGES
NEW YORK SUGAR

NEW YORK, May 1O.-R9-A
war-inspired wave Of buying carried
sugar futures up more THAI lilo
cent a pound for some deliveries to-
day before profit taking interviewed.
The world list closed 6 to Z points
higher on turnover of 10000 tons
Potential threat to Europe's beet
crops and factories in the spreading
conflict was the main driving force.
July closed 1.54 LIB, Sept. l.54b.
Domestic futures moved in tune
with the world contract for gains
of 4 to 5 points on sales of 2l,4oO
tons. The effect of the war on avail
ability of neutral vessels for Cuban
U. S. trade was a leading question
in the trade.
Raw prices advanced sharply.
Lowest offerings were Philippines
due late May at 2.95 cents a pound
with other positions held at 800
cents. June shipment Cubas were
available around 2.05 cents c. & F.
In the refined market prices
steadied after recent weakness and
Withdrawals against old contracts
improved.

CHICAGO GRAIN
(By The Associated Press)

CHICAGO, May 10. - Up - The
long dreaded German push westward
caused an immediate stampede to
buy grains today but after prices Of
principal cereals had advanced 2 IL
to 5 cents a bushel the excited trad
ing pits were thrown into more con-
fusion by heavy selling that caused
sharp reactions at times.
Wheat rose 8 7.8 to 5 cents almost
at the opening bell, corn was UP
p 3-8-2 SIS to the highest level since
1887, rye 8 1873 ia and oats 3d. Ia
September wheat sold as high as
s1.10 and corn as high as 20 cents.
New speculative buying, short COW
ering and some wheat purchasing
credited to mills appeared.
The advance ran into selling how
ever, and as profit taking increas-
ed there was a sharp reaction in all
pits. Wheat tumbled at one time
as much as 20 5-8 from the early
highs but closed Balls cents high
er than yesterday, with May $1.0S-
rs ga and July $1.0S 1858. Corn
fell 1 IL from the highs hut closed
1 1.2-2 1-8 higher than yesterday,
May 68 1-4-1-8, July 69-68 7-8. Oats
closed 1.4-1 IA up, rye 8 higher, soy
beans 3-8 lower to 70 higher and
lard Is to 80 higher.
The action of other Western Hem
isphere markets and the willingness
Of many dealers to accept profits
demonstrated that many elements
in the grain trade were confused by
developments in Europe and the un'
certainty of the war situation. Some
traders said the spread Of war has
| not clarified the tangled interna'
tional wheat situation but probably
has unsettled it even nor In this
connection LEY pointed out that the
lowland countries which are the OBJ
ject of the latest attack normally are
good markets for Western Hemis-
phere grains.

NEW YORK, May 1O.-R-Cot-
tonseed oil futures were in the front
rank of fast-climbing commodities
today. Despite slight recessions
from the tops, final prices were up
z to 20 poients.
Buying was built largely on ex'
pectations Of enlarged demand for
both domestic and foreign consum-
ers due to spreading hostilities and
the likelihood of a continued curtail-
ment in imports of vegetable oils.

July TIA; Sept. 7.24; Oct. 7.25b; Dec

ering atmosphere of grim reality
settled today over the 10000 SOL
diers participating in the United
States greatest army maneuvers as
their leaders scanned reports Of Ger.
many's invasion of Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg.
The only official statement came
from 1t. General Stanley D. EN-.
bick, commander of the third army,
who said in a press conference "our
army is ready for any M day to
defend this country"
I'M" day in army ~parlance is gen
eral mobilization day.
General, Embick, chief Of staff OF
the American section of the SUI
preme war council in France dur
ing the World war, set the lead
for the scores Of wartime generals
and colonies assembled here by de.
clining comment on Hitler's latest
thrust.
He was willing to talk g~uardedly,
however, about American prepared
ness on land.
1.-THE third army" he said, has
been in training since last Septem.
Der. The soldiers are in fine physical
condition"
Training of this army was begun
in September, Immediately after the
German invasion of Poland, and the
streamlined forces assembled from
throughout the country now r in
mock combat over a frontier zone
which has been invaded by the Red
army flowing in from Texas.
Theoretically the Blue army to-
day is in exactly the position of the
small European neutrals when light
ming war struck their borders. Un.
prepared Tor war, the Blue army is
attempting to halt the invaders long
enough for swiftly rolling Blue re-
Inducements to near the front.
