The outstanding feature OF the trading
in the curb market yesterday was the
activity and early strength in the Ameri-
can Tobacco Z per cent serial notes,
which constituted the bulk Of the busi-
ness in the bond section. The unusual
demand resulted in n jump OF 2 points

OF 81 points was shown. The other
issues were In eager demand also. caus-
ing advances Of from a fraction to more
than a point. After midday. however,
all reacted sharply, but the notes Of later
maturities ended the day with small
fractional gains.
Business in other bonds was also on
an increased scale, with better showing
made by the Russian Government securi-
ties, which recovered most OF the losses
sustained in Mondays session. Domestic
industrial issues were fractionally higher.
Trading in the stock division was on a
small scale and a mixed tone was re-
ported. Chief activity was again con-
fined to few issues such as Oklahoma
Producing and Refining. which. although
offered rather freely by the traders. held
fairly steady. 1t was reported that the

vide for interest charges. other require

FURTHER DROP IN COTTON.
Selling Not General and Prices
Are Easily Influenced.

There was a further decline in the cot
ton market yesterday. Selling was not
general or aggressive, but there was
very little support In evidence and COM
paratively small orders were sufficient
to influence prices. Liverpool. Wall
Street and local traders were among the
leading sellers. the former supposedly on
straddles. while the selling by brokers
with Wall Street connections may pos
slbIy have reflected tight money condi-
lions In the stock market, Aside from
this, bearish sentiment was more or less
in evidence owing to the failure OF Inn
proving peace prospects to create fresh
demand and a belief that accommodating
supplies in the South will eventually
lead 10 weakness.

and January to 2S.74c.. making net de-
clires OF As TO 60 points and a break OF
