MARKET CLOSES STRONG.

NEW YORK. June 21.-While indi-
vidual shares were sensitive to re-
current liquidation, the main body of
stocks moved forward vigorously in
todays market in response to extern
sive short covering and SO called
bargain" buying by substantial in
terests. The favorable technical po-
sition created by the recent sustained
selling movement facilitated the
strong upward trend. Sales approxi-
mated 100000 shares.
Speculation was feverish in the
mida fternoon. While the action of the
market demonstrated that the recent
general liquidation had ceased.
enough weak spots cropped out to
puzzle traders as to the immediate
course of prices. Chandler. Consoli-
dated Gas. Southern Pacific, Gulf

NEW YORK. June 21.-Today's s
bond market was in no essential, re-
spect different from yesterdays.
During the first hour of trading
there was some evidence of support
In the more active issues, but this
strength quickly spent itself. and the
market turned heavy again without,
however, any very great activity.
Practically no attention was paid
to actual values. Evidences of in
Vestment buying were hard to find.
AS far as the high-grade securi-
ties We're concerned, actual quota
tions were little changed. but there
were no bids for large blocks. Spec
ulative bonds acted much as specu-
lative stocks.
Foreign Bonds Lower.
Foreign bonds were almost uni
formly lower with the new Austrian
loan declining to within half a point
of tie Offering price before noon.

Issues lost fractionally and lower
prices were recorded for the Jugo-
Slav IS and the City Of Greater

same factors that affected the for
eign exchange market 1t would not
be surprising In the event of further
decline in foreign securities If there
should be renewed buying from
abroad. Prices for all international
issues are now relatively higher in
London than in New York.
Rails Very Irregular.
The movement of the speculative
p l- tr-aS trrn To-
part 1t was toward lower levels. and
that without any change in the rail-
road situation. The Erie general As
for instance. added to their loss of

nearer the low than the high of the

outlook is that the Erie will cover fixed

point. The general As dropped a point

Little Change I'm Lfbertys
There was very little change in the
libertys. The old "A IS at one time
were slightly lower and the Treas
ury 4 u slightly higher.
Among South American issues the
feature was a sharp break in Bolivia

was probably connected with the an
nouncement of the arrival in this
city of a Bolivian commission pre-
pared to negotiate for change in
the loan contract. 1t appears that
