The forward movement of bond
prices gained momentum today when
brisk bidding for the railroad issues
brought about a general revival of
interest. Although a fresh attempt
to end the anthracite stike made lit
tie Roadway, the mere announcement
/ that the miners were willing to re-
sumo negotiations for a settlement
had a tonic effect on the obligations
of the coal carriers, which held the
limit high for mos of the day.
Losses in the shares of the rail-
roads of the anthracite region were
accompanied for the most pat by
corresponding gains in the bond mar
ket. Substantial gains were scored
by Lehigh Valley, Erie. New York
Central and New Haven issues.
Second only to the coal carrier
liens in attracting buyers were the
st. Louis-San grancisco railway obli-

Dun's Report

New York, Jan. 22-(AP)-Dun's to-
morrow will say:
Not only is the stability of general
business maintained. but there are ac-
cumulating signs of renewed activity
in different directions. The post-holi-
day iull, though still visible in some
quarters has been, on the whole, less
marked and of shorter duration than
usual, and there are many reports of
dealings in excess of those of a year
ago. This phase is reflected in most
of the statistical barometers, and the
continued gain in bank clearings is
the more significant because prices for
various commodities are below the lew
els prevailing at this time in 1925. The
current week developed easing in
number of markets and Duns list
shows considerable excess of de-
clines. but in the main there has been
an absence of unsettlement in prices
for both raw materials and manufac-
tured products.

Early Reports Exaggerated

Army officers on the ground said
today that first reports of the num-
Der of dead last night were exag-
gerated. Explosions occurring at
frequent intervals throughout last
night and today were throwing shells
a distance of about a mile. This
barrage made wartime inferno of
an area of four square miles imme-
diately surrounding the depot. Troops
who were hurried to the scene last
night. stood w throughout the day,
helpless to curb the .ceaseless explo-
sions.
Scores of civilians in nearby towns
were injured, but the hegira of hum
dreds of families from their homes
made impossible an accurate esti-
mate.
While closeup survey OF the
situation could not be made because
of the exploding shells, it was an
nounced that the navy depot, biggest
in the country and valued at $751;
0,00O, had been destroyed. Today's
explosions, it was believed, were
caused by the blowing up of am
munition stores at the Picatinny
army arsenal, about half mile from
the navy depot. The army arsenal
is valued at $40,000O00.
Lieutenant George w. Bolts, of
Richmond, Va, ordnance officer on
duty at the army arsenal. was the
only man definitely known to have
been killed. Army officers, Drawing

body from a building which had col

have been killed were Lieutenant
Commander L. a. Brown, of the
naval medical corps: Captain II. b.

detachment at the depot.

ULTIMATUM TO
TROLLEY STRIKERS
ENDS AT NOON TODAY

New York, July 11.-(P)-President
Frank Hedley of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company, sent
communication today to the strik-
ing employees of the company urging
them to return to work before eX-
piration of the time limit set for to-
morrow noon. None of the strikers
will be allowed to return to their
jobs after that time, l. r. T. officials
have declared.
Mr.. Hedley's communication to the
strikers was his first public utter
ance since motormen and switchmen
of the company walked out last
Tuesday after their demands had
been rejected.
Today's operations of the Inter-
borough on both its subway and ele-
waited lines was so per cent of nor
NAL for average Sunday traffic, Mr..
Hedley asserted. Power generation
and distribution. he added, was con-
tinuing as usual, despite the walk
out of some of her power house and
substation employees. in sympathy
with the motormen and switchmen.
Four of the striking power house
men have returned to work, he said
