Strength and Activity
Characterize Bonds

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The bond
market was again characterized by
activity and strength, particularly
among the United States government
list. The Liberty 3Iks got up to a new
nigh record for the year at sc cents
and then dropped back slightly but
held well above yesterdays close.
Other issues made substantial gains.
The foreign government group was
also strong, a feature being the come
back in Mexican issues, following
their heaviness Of the past day or two
as result Of some profit-taking. The
bonds advanced fractionally to over a
point. Another strong spot was the
japanese government bonds with gains
OF from a small fraction to nearly a
point.
An interesting development of the
bond market Is the strength in New
York City bonds which continued up
ward today, following their gains OF
from IL to 81 points yesterday. Ad-
vance In the price Of State and NUM-
cipal bonds may be expected until a
level Is reached which will bring the
yield into conformity with the present
market. The S11,20o,oo0 issue Of
Pennsylvania highway AZ per cent
bonds. which are being offered at a
price Of los to yield 40, establishes
a new mark for this class of securi-
ties. being lower than that Of num-
Der OF the Liberty issues .

Less Optimism, Rules
In Steel Industry

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-Less op-
timism now prevails in the steel trade
with regard TO early reduction of
freight rates on iron and steel prod
ucts. For one thing, the railway
executives have declined to make re-
auctions in coal. limestone and other
raw materials at Mis- time, while
the iron Age states that the attempt
to tie up the question of the price
of rails with that of reductions in
the rates on steel products may post
pone a decision on rates for some
time.
conditions in the industry mean
while continue little changed. The
Steel Corporation is maintaining a
% per cent operation, while the in
dependents range between 40 and so
per cent Prices are irregular. with at
tempts at stiffening meeting with lit
tie success. Demand has fallen off
somewhat. but operations only slight
~. and any severe reaction in the lat
ter during the winter is now con-
sidered improbable. An interesting
development is inquiry among scrap
dealers by the Navy Department with
regard to bids on some of the old
warships. The incorporation of sal
vasins companies to cope with the
larger dismantling program which
would result from successful Wash
ington conference is also being dis
cussed. In some quarters.

while there was heavy selling at

the recessions. Sales of 100000
bushels hard winter were confirmed
at the gulf and there was also
some business in Manitobas, al
though the basis at Winnipeg was
about y cent lower as compared
with November. Spring wheat at
Minneapolis gained 1a2 cents on
the DeceTaber and it is expected
that Canada grain will be bought
shortly. The strong domestic sit
uation with continued drought in
the Southwest is affecting the mar
ket to some extent and the belief
that this country has sold all of
its surplus is also a factor. 1t is
estimated that clearances from July
l to November 81 aggregate 49,
900 900 bushels. A local house
bought 10000 bushels hard winter
from an outside market today.
Milling demand generally was slow.
December corn sold at so cents
for the first time in several weeks
and sentiment is much more bullish
than of late. 1t is expected that
the War Finance Corporations
plan to help the country will be
announced next week and offerings
to arrive remain very small de-
spite the advance. Seaboard ex-
porters bought corn at outside
