MEXICAN BOND ISSUES
DEVELOPED STRENGTH

NEW YORK. September 9 (SpeciaD.
The feature of the bond market
was the strength of the Mexican gov
eminent issues following the report
of more settled political conditions
south of the Rio Grande. These bonds,
which have been going up for several
days. made an additional gain. the 4
per cents getting up to BIZ as
against 80 yesterday. and the S PEI
cents. which were 3S at one time yes
terday, selling at AN.
New Orleans, Texas and Mexico SIS
continued in demand at So.
Sales of the Canadian National Rail-
way IS were reported over the count
er at 9Sls, at which figure they were
up liz points from their low and
within half point of their issue
price.
This rise was sympathetic with the
general recovery in Canadian Securi-
in Canadian exchange. Some dealers
are buying Canadian bonds in this
market and offering them in Canada
for sale sellers thirty days." The
idea is that by the end of this time
the recovery in Canadian exchange
will have gone considerably further
and will have automatically produced
good profit on the delayed trans
actions.
Traction bonds were reactionary
with the Brooklyn rs which sold yes
terday at ~ down to 40h, and the
marlborough Rapid Transit SIS off a
fraction to 46. Further profit-taking
also made itself felt in Railway issues
of the type of the st. Louis and San
Francisco income SIS. which have been
leading the rise in bonds for the last
month. 1t was noteworthy that the
per cent equipment bonds like the
Pennsylvania and Louisvilles were
not affected by the competition of the
French government issue.
