FAIR ACTIVITY IN
 BONDS IS SHOWN

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Tfie listed bond market continued fairly active today. but traders reported that over the-counter trading had slowed down somewhat. Prices generally were firm with chief interest cen- tered in the more speculative bonds.
 Much of the buying in the rail- road group. and in the domestic in- dustrials for that matter was in- fluenced by the movement of the af- filiated stocks. Thus Erie bonds moved to higher ground, the gen. eral 4s climbing more than a point.
 Bidding for public utility liens slowed down perceptible with the result that a considerable number of those bonds sagged slightly. Con- tinued buying of Dery company's 1s influenced, traders stated, by prog ress in the company's reorganization, pushed chat issue up 4 41A points, one of the widest movements in recent days.
 Little interest was displayed in foreign government bonds which moved irregularly with firm un dertone. Active bidding for the American Liberties caused those bonds to display considerable strength in the forenoon but scarcity of buyers later resulted in recesSions, few of the bonds closing below yesterdays final figures.
 While confirmation was lacking re- ports were current in the financial district that the Pennsylvania rail- road contemplates an issue of around s1O0,Oo0,000 in general mort gage bonds within the next 30 days.

HEAVY BUYING OF
 ERIE IS FEATURE

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Stoek prices made irregular recovery from recent heaviness in today's market with the volume of business reduced due to the unwillingness of traders to eX- tend their commitments owing to the deadlock over the election of a speaker of the House of Representa- tfves.
 Opening prices were irregularly higher but the flood of offering be- came so great in the first half hour that losses of 1 to points took place An number of the speculative in dustrials. The wave of selling soon spent itself, however, and prices Were headed upward again before loon.
 One of the features of the session was the heavy buying of the Erie railroad issues, the common stock crossing 20 for the first time since 1920 on total transactions of more than 50,oo0 shares. The. preferred gains, however, being of fractional chara cter.
 Strength of Pennsylvania railroad stock, which closed more than point highdr, was attributed to the completion of liquidation of block oN over 100000 shares held by the British government. One block of 10000 shares changed hands soon after the opening and another block of 7,500 followed a short time later the days total sales approXimatlng about 25,000 shares.
 United States Steel, Baldwin and American Can closed fractionally s nominal loss. The reactionary tend aency in American Woolen was Checked by the declaration of the regular dividend and the October re- port of the bureau of census show ing an increase in consumption of 4,63S,630 pounds over September. sS Market street railway issues again Registered sharp gains on rumors of R renewal of negotiations for the sale of it's properties to the city of San Francisco. The second preferred Jumped 5% points, the preferred 2 and the common IS United Rail- ways investment preferred climbed 4i1 points and the common 1 5s.
 Other strong spots in the indus trial list was General Electric, Con- goleum, Western Union, R. H. Macy and Allied Chemical preferred, all up 1 iz points or more.
 s%sChesapeake and Ohio moved up l F points and New Haven, Atlantic Coast Line and Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred also showed net gains Qf point or more. Union Pacific was heavy at the start but soon re- S2NcIeu US ioSS, SiooiHS uHCHdHSe gu on the day.
 & Gall money opened at A per cent but dropped to 4ta before noon clos ing at that figure. The time money market continues dull with most business down on a 5 per cent basis. The commercial paper market was moderately active with the bulk of tho prime names moving at 5 per cent.
 Foreign exchange rates, which were heavy during the morning rallied sharply in the afternoon. De- nnand sterling moved up 2A cents to t4.36 and French francs rose If points to 5.39 cents. Other remit tances improved in sympathy.
 Total stocks sale, 2,000 shares.

COTTON RECOVERS PART OF DECLINE

NEW YORK, Dec. IA further break of approximately cent a pound at the opening of the cotton market here today was just about recovered in the late trading. The decline to 34.97 cents for March con tracts, making a reaction of over 2 cents a pound from the high records of late last week, appeared to bring in considerable trade buying and after the execution of stop orders on the opening break, the market rallied on covering accompanied by reports of relatively steady spot markets and rather more encouraging late cables from Liverpool.
 March sold up to 35.s5 cents and closed at 35.So cents with the gen eral market closing firm net un- changed to IT points lower.
 The market opened easy at de- cline of 50 to 100 points with active months showing net losses of 89 to 102 points under a continuation heavy liquidation which was in evil dence yesterday. Liverpool. made sensationally weak showing and showed considerable cotton here on the opening DTedh uHGONtI6u sup orders which gave the market an ex- tremely nervous and unsettled ap- pearance. December sold off to 3o.25c, January to 34.78c and May to 35c, making declines of 214 to 245 points from the previous records of last Friday.
 There was a good deal of buying around the S5 cent level for March and May. which was attributed to price fixing for the account of spin ners. This demand helped to absorb the early offerings and as soon as the more urgent selling subsided rebuying by sellers of last week. There were spurts of further Iqui- dation as prices worked upward, causing more orless irregularty, but the best prices of the day were reached in the late trading and showed recoveries of 77 to 102 points from the lowest with December sell ing at 3620c. January at 35.o6c and May at 36O2c. Reports that one of the private statisticians estimated ginnings for the last period at un- der 600, 900 bales seemed to encourage some buying and later cables re- ported a more hopeful tone in Liver pool. About 75 December notices were issued. But December increased it's premium in the late trading. Ex- ports today 27,973, making 2,606,l94 so far this season. Port receipts 6l.- O56. United States ports stock 9S4,- 1S2.
