 PASSES QUIET DAY
Several Minor Deals Reported.
 Others Brewing

The northwest corner of Sixth ave nue and Nineteenth street, at one time suggested as site for new Chamber of Commerce building, will soon be oc. cupied by one-story brick business block, it was learned Monday. Con. tracts >have been let to c. W. Hall by the owner, Murray Brown, and con. struction will start immediately with the plan of having the building com. pleted by August 1. The property measuring 100 by 100 feet, will offer accommodation for five stores.
 The W. o. Broyles Furniture com, pany, for five years located at 2023 Third avenue, will move on or about October 1, into five-story building now being remodeled for it at 2121-23 Second avenue, north, according to an announcement by Mir. Broyles Monday
 Reasons for the move are lack of room in the present quarters and, that the location is considered more desir. able for business purposes. The new store, formerly occupied by a hotel, is now being improved and redecorated by Ike Adler at cost of $S0,000. A ten year lease has been signed on the building.
 For the most part the real estate mart remained fairly passive during the day. although a number of small deals were turned and larger develop. ments reported moving rapidly. A flea. ture of the trades was the sale of the property at 2431 Fifth avenue, north which went at a reported figure oi $22,500. The site, occupied by priv, ate residence and having 30 foot frontage was sold by Louis Silbermar to Sarah .Greenberg.

TRADING MORE CAUTIOUS.
by GEORGE #. HUGHEs.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, November l0.-Trad-
ing in bonds went on today again in
large volume, but with more moder-
ate price changes. AS last week, the
greatest activity appeared in specu-
lative rails. Quotations, however,
showed the effect of profit taking
after the recent extreme advance.
In the high grade investment issues
there was some further sagging in
United States Government loans and
in the best of the high grade rails.
Treasury 4As sold at 106.11, which
compares with a pre- election high OF
1914 Atchison general As sold at
80 as,' compared with 81. the high OF
last week. Union Pacific first As
dropped below 80, and Canadian
Pacific As below So Among the in
dustrials, United States Steel sinking
fund 5s went below 10o.
Second Grades Improve.
These comparatively trifling changes
are nevertheless significant Of what
is going on in the bond market under
the influence Of the activity in
speculative stocks and bonds and the
harder tone in money.
On the other hand, the second
grade bonds did better, examples
being Rock Island Refunding As, Iron
Mountain River and Gulf As, and Mis-
souri, Pacific 5s of 1865. There was a
distinct inclination among investors
to switch from the savings bank
rails into these higher yielding Sc
curities.
Speculative activity was spread
over "a wide range. Favorites were
Seaboard Air Line adjustments, St.
Louis-San Francisco incomes, New
Haven Is, which at SO were up more
than points from their low of last
week, st. Paul As of 1925, l. G. n. ad
justments, Chicago and Eastern ILL.,

were taken in large volume at their
new price.
There were some sharp advances
in the fractions, notably in the Third
Avenue issues. Brooklyn Manhattan

market for some of the fertilizer
