INDIVIDUAL MOVES
IN BOND MARKET
Foreign Issues Go Higher on
Better NeWs-Second-
Grade Liens Active.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 30.--WhiIe for
the seasoned investment issues the bond
market quieted down today there were
number of interesting special moves
among the more speculative descriptions
This was notably the case in the foreign
group, where the Jugoslav IS ran up
from ? to 3 points and the City of
Greater Prague 712s made smaller
gain.
Both these issues sell to give high
returns more because of doubt as to
political conditions In central and
southeastern Europe than because of
concern over finances. Today's run
up. therefore. may be attributed to
the belief that the international stu
alton in that part of the world has
improved.
Ii. Il o. Bonds Strong.
Among the second-grade rails Bal
timore and Ohio convertible 4Igs
made new high above sS, continu-
ing the forward movement of the past
week Sea board Air Line 6s and Mis-
souri, racine 4S, among more specula-
tive issues, We're little higher. Des
Moines and Fort Dodge As one of the
underlying bonds Of the Minneapolis
and st. Louis system. ran up from
49, TO 4S on Il single string of trans
actions, making new high not only
for this year, but for last 4 high
grade bond TO make d sharp advance
was the Chicago, indianapolis and
Louisville 6s of 1917.
In the fractions, InterbOrouEh OBJ
legations were heavy and Third Ave
nue. adjustments broke rather sharp
ly. The Brooklyn Manhattan Transit
6s about held their own. Common
wealth Power Corporation 6s' made
a new high for the year. The Vir-
ginia Carolina Chemical issues rallied
slightly among the industrials.
L. =. Loans Stesdy.
Liberties and high grad, investment
issues generally were steady but not
quite SO active. although the United
States Treasury 4hs made another
new high and the Third IA Liberties
again sold at par. This grade Of
bonds undoubtedly feels the compcti-
ton from the new issues.
Todays new offerings included S.
100000 in city OF Buenos Aires 81. :
