IN BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, December 14.-Scat-
tered strength appeared in the bond

est for the more speculative descrip-
tons. One of the features was the
local fractions. for nearly all of which
higher levels were reached, probably in
response to a new movement for
higher fares. Interborough refund
ing 5s. both stamped and unStamped,
were up over a point, while the s per
cent notes made smaller gain. Third
Avenue refunding As in demand, and
SO were Brooklyn Manhattan Transit
6s.
Among the rails, Green Bay and
Western Debentures. series B were
especially strong, within less than a
point Of the high Of the year. Buy
ing was based on the expectation that
the property would be essential in
some consolidation plan. The leader
of the convertible issues was Ameri-
can Ice rs, which had a gain of almost
points. There was also a sharp
rally in Murray Body 61as of nearly 9
points.
French bonds were more sensitive
to the weakness in the franc than
was the case last week There are
particularly heavy selling of the new
Is, while French Cities 6s got down
below "a, as against last weeks high
of over So. Republic of Poland SIS
we're lower and profit taking came
into the Brazil rs, which have re-
Gently enjoyed such a large advance.
On the other hand Belgian bonds
were stronger.
