NEW YORK, October 31.-The bond
market today was dominated by the
strength in the righ-grade investment
issues and in the speculative rails
and fractions.
steady, and there was uncertain price
| movements in a few of the higher
yielding fndustrials. but the general
| market was remarkably firm. In the
high grade list the feature was the
large blocks of United States Steel
sinking fund 5s at 1O5, which was the
high record for the year. OF listed in
dustrials, these bonds are commonly
accorded first place, as is shown by
the yield of less than Az per cent
at the market.
Sinking Fund Provision.
The sinking. fund provision whereby
sl,Ol0,000 is drawn annually for re-
demption at 110 adds certain specu-
lative attraction, but investment buy
ing is in the main responsible for
the high price. The bonds were more
active today than in months and the
TreaSurys 8 equaled the high of
the year. Elsewhere in the invest
ment list Liberties were fractionally
higher. The first mortgage rails, such
as Atchison general As, sold around
tHelT recent tops.
In the speculative groups the fea-
ture was Brooklyn Manhattan Tran
sit 6s. Under heavy transactions,
the price was advanced to 81, where
the, yield was about 7h per cent.
Recent estimates have been to the
effect that the company is earning
surplus amounting to about IS a
share for the common. Buying went
on in the Interborough issues, par

there was a further rise in Manhat-
tar Elevated s"""nd As to n new high
for the year. The only weakness was
in the Sugar issues, notably Ameri-
can sugar oS.
British bonds Strong
Foreign bonds as group were
steady. United Kingdom 5l2s of 1897
made new high record just below
lo6, and the y s of 1929. which carry
the conversion privilege into British
National War 5S went up with Sterl-
ing exchange. Jugoslav SIS were
heavy, breaking below SS. Brazil is
sues were indifferent to reports of
further revolutionary disturbances.
The most important new offering
| was the s25,O0O.0O0 Brooklyn Edison
general mortgage 5s, an additional
issue to those already outstanding.
Railroad Bonds Higher.

fianYInable atmosphere of the oil in-

AS a close friend of the late Jake

the details of lannon's negotiations
to swing the 1920 presidential nomi-
nation and knew what Hamon ex-
pected to get out of it."
He declared that ohe master
mind" who controlled the 1890 re-
publican national convention and vir-
tually engineered the nomination of
Warren G. Harding for President
upon payment of s1.00O.000, is an
