NEW YORK, March 31.-Bond trad
ing began the week with evidence of
heaviness in the general list. Quo
tations improved later in the day
that characterized dealings last
week
Some of the industrial issues had
periods of actual weakness. One
case in point was American Agricul-
tural Chemical 71ss which sold down
to a. new low for the year, recover

The latter sell on about 6h per

the 71as give a maturity yield of
about ~ per cent. Wickwire Spen-
Ger Steel IS sold at the low of the
year. United States Rubber 5s, an
ing. made a new low below 81, rail-
lying later. Pierce Oil SIS lost part
of the gain of last week.
Railway bonds did better than in
dustrials. St. Paul issues were active
again, with the greatest strength in
the convertible AIS and 5s. Norfolk
and Western convertible 6s were
strong in sympathy with the stock.
On the other hand, International
Great Northern adjustments were
lower
High grade investments were most

Foreign bonds Quiet.
Foreign bonds were quiet but senti-
