NEW YORK. oct. s5.

An interesting feature Of the trading on
the Curb was the initial dealing in the new
Liberty Bonds, about 100000 selling at
par. The Curb committee has ruled that
sales Of these bonds cannot be made before
October 20 unless the seller is in actual
possession Of the securities
Another feature was the quiet inquiry for
Triangle Film, which recently has been in
supply at low range. The chief inter-
ests concerned in the management Of tho
company have not been active in the mar
ket but pending developments are said to
be an incentive for new accumulation. The
stock was quoted during the greater part
OF the day at bid representing this de-

Business the Smallest for Months, With
Prices rregular-Americans Idle

LONDON, Oct 25--There was little life
to the stock exchange markets today, busi-
