NEW YORK, December 1S.-Scat-
tered buying by insurance companies,
chiefly in the outside market, formed
the bulk of the support in bonds to-
day.
Securities in the same general grade
as Chicago and Western Indiana con-
solidatcd as were favored by the finan-
ciat institutions. Selling at 81, the
new high made Thursday, this bond
yields only little over 5.25 per cent,
but the improvement in the financial
condition of the guaranteeing roads
brings up the investment rating of
the bond, Notwithstanding the prior
liens to which it is subject. On the
board Baltimore and Ohio As were
notably strong above 80 and were the
outstanding feature in the high-grade
group. Liberties moved over a mar
row range, with price changes incon-
sequential.
There was no improvement in
French bonds corresponding to that
in French francs.

CHICAGO, December 18.-With at
tention of trading centering more than
ever on developments regarding crop
yields in Argentina the wheat market
here averaged lower today during the
earlier transactions. Selling here was
based a good deal on Liverpool reports
of freer offerings from southern sec
lions of Argentina and on advices that
the Argentine government would up
hold the truth of its latest crop esti-
mate. On the other hand buyers con-
tinued to regard unofficial estimates
from Argentina as nearer to the facts,
and also continued to assert that the
key to world prices lay in the hands
of the Canadian growers pool. Chi

Equipments Hold Strong.
The afternoon stock market proceed
ed at a leisurely pace. Trading was
we'll below the rate of the preceding
day and there seemed to be little in
centive toward resuming operations
for the rise. On the other hand, there
was no important weakness. The
strength OF the railway equipments
was particularly noticeable again
Buying in one or two of these stocks
carried them up to their best figures
of the current movement.
The railway equipment industry,
which has been operating at loss
for the greater part of 1925, now
faces a return to more normal oper-
ating conditions. The turn has come
with renewal of buying by the
railroads. Orders for new equipment
have been a feature of the trade stu
alton in the past two weeks. The
likelihood is that for the first time
in a year or more these companies
will soon be showing a fair profit
on an expanded rate of operations.
The equipment shares have been
dormant in the stock market for
many weeks. Recently they came to
the front and have advanced persist
