NEW YORK. March 16.-Trad-
ing In the stock market was
again marked by narrow and
desultory movements OF prices of
active stocks, with a continuation
of the traders market. A little

sessions, following announcement
Of the Southern Railway common
stock dividend and renewal OF
rumors Of possible similar action by
Wabash preferred, Frisco preferred,
Chicago and Eastern Illinois pre-
ferred, and others.
Independent oil stocks failed to
carry into this week the rally
which appeared to be blooming the
last two sessions Of the week pre-.
ceding. The uncertainty as to
dividend action on Pan American
shares prevented any new forward
movement in these stocks, while
short selling was checked by fear
that Doheny would spring another

dividend meeting in Los Angeles
next week. BuIlish traders tried
to persuade themselves of the

An aggressive movement in high

the market on Thursday and Fri
day. General Electric moved up 8
points to 221, Otis Elevator points

Bonus and Tax Problems
Keep Business at
Low Ebb.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.

News Service.)
NEW YORK. March 15.-Discus
sion of the bonus and the tai
problem kept business in the bono
market at low ebb during the past
week. Uncertainty regarding the
outcome Of these important matters
was most noticeably reflected in
the market for tax exempt securi
ties, trading in that investment sec
ton having been the dullest since
the beginning of the year.
A moderate degree Of firmness
was maintained, which was largely
due to the existence Of backlog OF
investment capital and the absence
Of large bond offerings. About $27.
100000 new issues were placed be
fore the investors this week, against
$28, OO0, 900 the week before and $70,
O0O, 900 in the corresponding period
of 1928. The falling off in business
in long, term bonds was offset by
an increasing demand for short
term investments from large cor
porations and banking institutions
evidenced so eloQuently, by the
heavy oversubscription Of the $780,
100000 .one-year Treasury certifi
Gates Of indebtedness. This success
was the more gratifying as the
interest rate of 4 per cent was
slightly lower than the previous
issue, running for a similar period
Secretary Melons ability in gaug
ing money conditions once more
has been convincingly demonstrated
In point of activity and strength
the foreign government group stood
out prominently in the weeks deal
ings. Passing Of the financial crisis
in France, through the extension
of large credits both here and in
London to the bank Of France for
the purpose Of franc stabiliZation
caused uninterrupted buying Of that
country's issues. All European dol
lar bonds, in fact. were stimulated
by the feeling that Americas CO
operation in check.mating the bear
campaign in the franc marked the
beginning Of the settlement of the
entire European problem. p
Important price movements In
semispeculative issues whose course
either UP or down. was influenced
by the fluctuations in their allied
stocks.
Bonds Of chemical companies were
under pressure, which was partly
attributed to the probability OF
Henry Ford's offer to operate the
Muscle Shoals project being accepted
by Congress. The various obliga
tons of Wilson and Company ex
perienced a sharp break due to the
dispute between Swift interests anC
the Wilson management. resulting
in the latter's defeat and the passing
Of the preferred dividend. Sugar
convertibles developed strength.
Inauguration of dividend pay
ments on Southern Railway com
mon brought renewed demand into
low-priced railroad bonds. Among
the convertible issues in this group
Norfolk and Western 6's were
eagerly sought.
Fluctuations in Liberty bonds
were narrow, the undertone being
steady throughout the week.
