HOLD FIRM

Belgian Issues Lead Foreign
Group-St. Paul Liens
More Steady Today.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 12.-Prices
held firm in today's quiet bond mar
ket. There was a lack of speculative
buying, but investment demand suf-
feed to absorb offerings. Money con-
tinued easy and the long-expected
stiffening of rates appeared to be
farther away than ever United States
Government bonds were stabilized
around Thursdays levels. There was
more irre.ularity in the high grade
rails and industrials. Baltimore and
Ohio first As dropped back a point and
Union Pacific first 4s were down
fractonally.
Belgian BOnds Active.
In the foreign group the most ac-
tive issue was the new Belgian 6hs.
the offering price. The higher yield
ing and more seasoned Belgian 7ks
and IS were neglected. French is
sues dragged along without any
signs of life. Quotations are now
anywhere from 5 to points below
the high point attained when the
success OF the Dawes plan was tirst
seen to be probable. Attention is
centered upon the French financial
position. Even the Willingness OF
American bankers. to underwrite
French railway offerings is without
stimulating effect upon the market
for French bonds.
St. Paul bonds attracted the most
interest OF the speculative rails. Quo
tations were fairly steady after the
large fluctuations of the past three
days. The Puget Sound As got down
below so, however. Bankers again
were reported in conference over the
plan for refunding the st. Paul As Of
1925. New York, Ontario g. Western

of favorable business in August.
New High Levels.
Among industrials American Chain
debenture 6s made new high for the
year on sales of a comparatively few
bonds. American Agricultural SIS sold
above par. This compares with A
price of 94k last April. The same
companys refunding 7hs were also

Consolidation.
Ev the Associated PreAS.


NEW YORK, September 12.-With
the success of the Nickel Plate
merger virtually assured. railroad
consolidation problems in the East
now center chiefly on the ultimate
disposition of the so-called Little
Four" systems-the Lackawanna,
Lehigh Valley, Delaware and Hud-
son and Central Railroad of New
Jersey. Lackawanna, it is generally
conceded. eventually will become a
member of the Van Sweringen fam
lily, but officials have shown some
reluctance to surrender the advan-
tages of Independent operations.
The New York Central system is
expected to obtain the Lehigh VAL
ley, while the Jersey Central may be
assigned to the Baltimore and Ohio.
The Delaware and Hudson probably
will form the nucleus of a new sys
tenn which may serve as a bridge
route for the larger roads into New
