TRADING IN BONDS
SHOWS FIRM TONE
Upward Pressure on Rails
Less Standardization Is
sues in Tumble.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES,

opeclnI Dlspatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK. December IA more
cheerful feeling was evident In today's
bond market. Inquiries were reported
for the higher grade issues from both
institutions and private investors, and
dealers expressed the opinion that the
immediate outlook was brighter.
The most interesting incident of tho
day was the Withdrawal of syndicate
support from the new American Tele-
phone and Telegraph debenture 5cs.
This action came much sooner than
was generally expected, but the bonds
sold down only half point from the
issue price, indicating unusually good
distribution for SO large an issue
Meanwhile there was active buying
OF the newly issued st. Paul Union
Depot 5s at new high.
Libertys Hold Firm.
In the high grade list there was
no immediate reflection of the devel-
opments at Washington. Libertys
were about the same including the
tax exempt 31as. The prospect of a
constitutional amendment prohibiting
further issue OF tax exempt securi ties
was 100 remote to influence the pres
ent market. The same was true Of
the outlook for reduced taxation.
In The foreign group the feature was
