BRISK SESSIONS
in BOND MARKET
Firmer Undertone, With Ma
jor Part of Price Changes
OF Minor Importance.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-Business
was somewhat brisker in the bond
market today, indicating a frmer un-
dertone throughout most Of the list,
although a major part Of the price
changes were small. Most Of the gov
eminent war issues held the. note
worthy gains made within the last
day or two, but were unable to make
as significant advances again today.
More trading was done in foreign
bonds than yesterday but. with the
exception of the Danish and Nor
wegian issues, which suffered small
recession, few changes Of Importance
appeared in the quotations.
Among the publ" utility -bonds.
leadership was taken by the New York
Edison SIS and the New York Tele-
phone 6s, both Of which sold in good
volume at improving quotations.
Gains in neither issue were large, of
course, since they both sell actively
and seldom fiuctuate more than an
eighth of point between sales, but
the New York Edison bonds touched
106 again and many of the Telephone
IS sold at 1918.
Interest of a small group centered
in the continued decline Of Atlantic
Fruit Company's convertible Is, which
today got as low as 81 as compared
with yesterdays opening quotation of
231z. This development was the near
est approach to feature shown In the
Industrial list throughout which prices
held Arm for the most part.
Good demand was shown for many
of the better rail bonds of investment
character, but neither the investment
nor speculative rails underwent wide
variations. Heavy business vas done
in the new Louisville and Nashville
SIS bonds at about the same levels,
and the Katy adjustment Sc were
again in demand at Asa.

The agreement on capital ships, IL
nothing else was agreed on, would
be a most wonderful step forward
However, we have done this. and
we will resffirm international law
so that hereafter submarines can
not be used in a ruthless manner
