|FAV0R[TES FALL
ON BOND MARKET
List Generally Recedes
Fractions In Face
OF Light Selling

NEW YORK., Sept. 8-(R-
Light selling pressure produced
numerous declines of fractions to
more than a point in today's
bond market.
The general run of rails lost
the most ground with a few
scattered issues bucking the
trend. Industrials and utilities
held up better but here too
there were more users than
otherwise. Foreign dollar bonds
dipped to a new low average
for the year as a result of re
newed liquidation in loans of
Australia and Canada and some
of the South Americans.
Other than balky stock mar
ket, there was little specific
news to account for the decline,
forcing brokers to fall back on
generalities, including pessi-
mism over world politics, as an
explanation.
Bonds of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad got off to a good start
in the morning coincident with
the scheduled opening at St.
Paul of a hearing into it's organi-
cation program but failed to
stand up under the light offer
inps and ended down major
fractions.
Others ending in the minus
column, in some cases more
than a point, included Ann Ar
Dor Is, Baltimore & Ohio stamped
convertibles of 1860, Central of
Georgia consolidated IS, Rock
Island 4 lbs, Great Northern
Il 3-4s, Hudson Coal IS, Hudson
& Manhattan refunding IS, ILL
nois Central IS, Lehigh Valley
As, New York Central 4 us,
New Haven As and St. Louis
San Francisco 4 LIS.
Among the gamers were Erie
3 lbs at 80, General Realty &
Utility Is at IS 1-8 and New Or
leans, Texas g. Mexico S LIS at
100 7-8.
World bank bonds on the ex-
change slid a fraction to a new
low for the IS of 1872 and the
previous low was equalled by
the 2 1-4s.
U. S. Governments were most
ly on the losing end but in all
cases it was minor amounts.
Australia 3 las and 3 LIS
both lost better than a point and
Canadian bonds gave up frac-
tons. Chile 6 backed up 3 points.
Sales of SO, 280, 900 compared

COTTON
NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. 8-(AP)-
The cotton futures market was
irregular today, with prices
some deliveries moving
over a range of $3.55 a bale.
Crop developments guided
traders with a heavy burst of
commission house and Southern
selling in late dealings, leaving
the list so cents to $1.95 a bale
net mower.
The market started lower,
but wollowing insurance of the
governments September l cot
ton crop forecast which placed
prospective 1947 production at
II, 849, 900 bales, or about 5000
bales more than a month ago,
the market started to move
higher. There was, however, a
lack of follow-through buying on
the advance. This provided the
incentive for the general selling
which ensued and carried on
until the close.
Dealers generally were an
ticipating the cotton report to
show a crop of around 12,000,-
900 bales. Some traders pointed
out, however, that since the re-
port was compiled as of Sep
TENDER l, the weather has been
favorable for further improve
ment.
Distant contracts resisted
selling and this generally was
attributed to switching opera
tons. Some evening up opera
tons were also apparent in the
nearby October delivery, prior
to first notice day September
Is.
Futures closed so cents to
$1.95 a bale lower than the pre-
vious close.

downward.
Prices slipped from the start
with steels, motors, rubbers,
conpers and rails in the lead.
Attempts at recovery after mid
dav failed and most pivotals
closed around the days bottom
with losses of fractions to 2 or
more points. Occasional active
intervals, with the pace quicken
ing in the final hour, put the s.
hour volume at 100000 shares
compared with 100000 Friday.
Persistent pessimism over the
international economic situation
which, it was suggested, might
eventually hit domestic bust
ness, received part of the blame
for selling. Accounts also were
lightened by those who felt that
growing dollar shortages abroad
would result in liquidation OF
large amounts of foreign-owned
American securities. The wage
, price spiral again was a bearish
influence. A little short cover
ing and quick-turn buying crop
ped up now and then on the hope
that a technical rally could be
negotiated.
