FINANCIAL CIRCLES
CENTRE INTEREST IN
BOND TRADING HALT
Governing Committee of
New York Stock Exchange
May Take Some Action at
Meeting on Tuesday.

All interest in the financial community
today centred IN the sudden rupture Of
the plans OF the Special Committee OF
Five Of the Now York stock Exchange
to resume trading IN bonds on the floor OF
the Exchange tomorrow
The suggestion was made on the Street
that II was found that the special COM
mittee did not have the power to order
the resumption Of bond trading. and that
action on the matter will be taken at
tho regular meeting OF the Governing
Committee. This meeting should have
been held next Wednesday, but because
Of Thanksgiving Day arrangements It was
decided to hold II on Tuesday, when some
action may be made.
Because sterling exchange was heavily
bought during the morning at an advance
of cent there was disposition there
to assume that tho abrupt change In
plans was due to fears of foreign llquida-
tion. AS far as can bo learned there is
no ground for this assumption.

Bids for Westinghouse 5s at 81 were
reported and the demand has spread
from railroad mortgages to industrials,

On the New street curb the places of
