TRADING
IN BOND MARKET
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

By Special Leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 5.-During
the early hours prices went higher
again today in the bond market.
Dealings were spread out over a
large number of issues.
However, in the late afternoon
there was substantial reaction. es-
pccially in the foreign list Both
Wednesdays close and United King
dom issues were of fractionally.
Probably this was nothing more than
profit taking by spectators.
Foreign Issues Firm.
Foreign bonds were particularly
strong early, although advances in
most cases were confined to a frac-
tion Of point United Kingdom S Us
Of this bond has been peculiarly re-
sponsive to the news from the near
east Probably also there was some
reflection today from the address Of
Sir Reginald McKenna before the
Bankers Association yesterday.
The French issues showed a more
confident feeling. Even more than the
obligations of Great Britain, the
power particularly concerned, French
bonds have been sensitive to the
trend of opinion as to the outcome in
Thrace. Among the other foreign is
sues the greatest activity centered
in Netherlands 6s and the Japanese
bonds.
Realty IS SSH.
In the industrial list the feature was
United States Realty debenture IS
Of 1924. These today equaled their
high price for the year at 9S5, up a
point over yesterday. q.
The bond is redeemable at los on
any interest date on three weeks
notice, the next coupon being pay
able on January l next.
Reports as to the earnings Of the
company are very favorable. United
States Rubber refunding 5s were also
quite active at fuctuating prices.
Chile Copper IS sold up to above Ill.
Tho controlling influence was the
advance in the price of the stock into
which the bonds are convertible.
St. Paul Bonds Higher.
Among the rails confident buying
was noted Of the st. Paul issues
Buyers Of both the bonds and the
preferred stock are apparently con-
f1dent of further improvement South
ern Railway As among second-grade
issues and Central Railroad of New
Jersey IS among the very high grades

lative list Seaboard IS also made a
small gain.
An active demand was noted for
