though the entire bond market show
ed a. better tone today. the feature
was the strength in the foreign Sc
curities.
French issues were especially firm
with French 7ks selling above 102
and French Ss above 106 for the first
time in some days. Department Of
the Seine Is advanced more than a
point and the three French cities
6s made fractional gains. Paris,
Lyons and Mediterranean 6s were
also in demand. This better feeling
toward French obligations was at
tributed to the announcement that a
$10,000.000 bond issue would be offer
ed Wednesday for the Paris Orleans
railroad, one of Frances four large
railroad systems.
This will be the first French rail-
road or corporation issue noated in
the American market since 1920, and
the fact that bankers were now will
ing to underwrite a French offering
was taken to indicate confidence In
the ere-establishment Of French flnan-
cial stability.
Other Bonds Strong.
More or less other foreign bonds
shared the Improvement displayed by

issue, sold again at the top price Of
the movement. Jugoslav IS were active
and higher.
The market for high-grade invest
ment issues continued steady. Lib
ertys added to their gains of Monday,
quotations for all issues being higher.
There was no weakness among the
high-grade rails and industrials. For
the moment not so much is heard
about rates for money.
Today's New Financing.
Speculative rails were more or less
irregular. Early in the day slightly
higher prices for st. Paul bonds were
recorded. Missouri Pacific general IS
did a little better. st. Louis and San
Fransico incomes and adjustments
rallied somewhat. Among industrials
Chile Copper 6s were strong.
New issues included Sic, 600, 900 Pub
lie Service of Colorado first and re-
funding 51ss, due 1854. at 49, to yield
