TRADING CONFUSED
IN BOND MARKET
Main Quotations Are Well
Sustained in Week End
Transactions.
BY GEORGE r.. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, November 15.-Some
irregula rity marked the course OF
trading in bonds at the colse of the
week but in the main quotations were
well sustained. In few of the
speculative rails and the higher yield
ing industrials there was activity anC
strength.
Among the rails the leader was the
New Haven group. Under large
transactions New Haven Is which ma
ture in April next made new high
record up point and a quarter on
the day. At 951a they were 3la
points up from the low of the week
1T is known that the New Haven
bankers are working on the refund
ing plan and the action of the bonds
would indicate that success is antici-
pated.
katy" Bonds Hold Gains.
NJ. X, and T. adjustments, which
had such q spectacular rise Friday.
continued firm today around their new
high. On the week this bond has ad-
vanced between four and five points.
Norfolk Southern refunding 5s, gem
orally an inactive bond, but much in
favor this week, made an additional
gain today to another new high rec
ord. In the st. Paul group there was
some recovery especially in the 41as
of 1882. The situation here is con-
fusing. Selling OF St. Paul bonds
this week was apparently real liqui-
dation, but on the other hand the best
information is that the October earn
inss statement viii be remarkably
good.
Sugar Liens Improve.
The two features today among the
industrials were the recovery Of
American Sugar 6s to par. where the y
were taken in large blocks. and the
buying OF International Mercantile
Marine IS at the best price on the
present movement. The bonds of the
Cuban Sugar producing companie.
were also firm today, especially Punts

1881 and the 1941 maturity SOLD
around their respective callable price.

planning TO retire both issues anc

Motors convertible Is. which made
their appearance on the stock ex.
change for the first time this week
sold up today in sympathy with the
stock
Government Loans Firm.
There was no important change in
the United States government loans
except slight further decline in the
taX-exempt 3i3s. On the week all
these issues are down, the sellers
supposedly being banks There wa.
very little evidence in todays mar
ket OF any similar movement in the
high-grade rails and industrials.
The new German IS were still to-
day the leaders of the foreign group
selling above 80 again. The record
high was 95ss, reached October l6
The weeks new bond offerings have
totaled more than s4300o.0o0. com
pared with a little under s33,o00.o0o
a week ago. New financing has been
relatively small for some time now
and dealers report the market in
good shape to absorb anything de-

HOPE TO END DEADLOCK
BETWEEN SENATE-HOUSE

TRENTON, March 6 (By The As
ISOLATED Press) s).-Republican as
sembly leaders when the House
convened today declared the threat
ened deadlock between House and
senate over the Ksnworthy assem-
bly, bill had been broken. 1t was
generally believed that the bill,
which would vest in the highway
commission sole power to add new
routes to the highway system would
remain in senate committee.
Majority Leader Powell declared
he was In control of the House and
that the deadlock was broken. Mr..
Kenworthy said he had nothing new
to announce.
Because Senator Mackay, Repub-
lican, of Bergen, chairman of the
senate highway committee, has not
reported the bill out, and because he
learned that if 1t were reported o t
yesterday it would be beaten, Ken
worthy, the strongest Republican in
the House delegation from Essex,
succeeded in stopping all action on
senate bills in the House yesterday
afternoon. The senate Immediately
retaliated, and all House bills were
taken from the senate calendar.
The two houses adjourned last
night without offer of compromise
from either side. Kenworthy, def
ant, declared he would, through his
contr d OF Essex men and the help of
Speaker Eaton, of Essex. prevent ac-
ton on cenate bills indefinitely, and
prevent the final adjournment of the
senate next week, as planned.
