Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 13.-The two
features in the bond trading of the
day were strength in the Rock Island
obligations and in the Jugoslav So.
In the case of the Rock Island the
motive back of the buying was the
belief that the proposed new merger.

the underlying securities. Rock
Island refunding As above S8 were at
a new high for this year and last.
The yield even at this price is still
high for a bond of its grade.
Good Gain Scored.
Another Rock Island to make a new
high for the past year and a half was
the Rock Island, Arkansas and Louis
lana AVS maturing in 1884, the same
as the Rock Island refunding As, and
guaranteed by the Rock Island Rail-
road Co. At one time the gain over
Thursdays closing price was nearly
points.
Jugoslav SIS were easily the lead
ers of the foreign group, gaining
more than a point, and making Il new
high for the year. Trading was on a
large scale. Some special reason evil
IDENTIFY was back of the buying. An
enormous amount of new financing
for foreign account is under negotia-
ton, but most of 1t Is for Industrial
and utility corporations rather than
for governments.
Liberties shade Lower.
Liberties were a shade lower, whte
the first mortgage rails were about the

no effect upon prices in bonds. Firm
ness in the time money market was
evidently the more significant factor.
Some of the public utility issues. such
as Standard Gas and Electric G rs, were

tion and local selling was absorbed
around initial prices and the market
showed net advances of 10 To 10
points at the end of the first. hour on
