Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 21.-Irreg-
ularity continued throughout the
bond market today
There was further heaviness in
was apparent. One suggestion was
that the support of buying for the
British government had been removed
temporarily, and that liberties were
simply falling into line with other
high grade securities. Selling could
hardly be attributed to fear of enact
ment Of a bonus law, as that situa-
tion Is still involved in doubt and the
decision to put tax provision ahead
of the bonus ought to be helpful to
Probably the movement has no
great significance. There was no
weakness in the high grade rails
and industrials. Prices for practical
ly all issues were steady.
ST. PnuIs Very Active.
In speculative bonds activity on a
large scale continued in the st. Paul
list. At the opening there was some
reaction following upon the recovery
of Thursday. but later in the day
this was made up and most issues
showed net gains. The shOrt-term
As of 1925 advanced at one time about
a point and a half. Gains also were
recorded by the convertible 5s and
the refunding 4L2s. Heavy trading
in Sea board Air Line adjustments
was another feature, but with small
net change. Evidently the action of
the directors Thursday in ordering
the payment of 2A per cent on Feb
ruary l next on these bonds had been
well discounted.
Weakness in Virginia Carolina
Chemical Is and 715s with warrants
was generally set down as tax SELL
ing There is an excellent oppor-
tunfty to record losses in these two
issues. which are down some II points
in the case of the Is and about 80
points in the case of the 7I2s, with
warrants. from the high of the year
rs lead the sugar bonds, running
SIS and as were unchanged.
Foreign Money STEADY.
In the foreign group French bonds
were fairly steady despite the fact
that franc exchange made another
new low. Ii has been suggested that
the sinking fund operates to support
French government obligations and
that may be true in the case of
French SIS and French 11as, but hardly
applies TO French Cities 6s. Brazil SIS
were the feature among the South
American bonds and Oriental Devel-
opment 6s among the Japanese issues.

NEW ORLEANS. December 21-
Advances of 80 to As points were
