ARE STRONG TODAY
Treasury 3 3-4 Reach New

BY GEORGE 4. HUGHES,

special Dispatch TO Inc StaF'
NEW YORK. April 20.-Dema nd
for high grade bonds continued vigor-
Gus in today's market.
The feature was the strength and
activity in United States Government
obligations, particularly in the Treas
ury 3&s offered only little more
than a month ago at 10012. which
most bankers considered TOO high.
To-day they sold at 101, a new high
level The other two government
issues which were most actively
bought were the Treasury As, which
crossed 104 and the Fourth 4A Llber-
ties. Dealings in the last named were
larger than in a long time.
In the railway group, several new
high records were established, among
them New York Central 5s at l0o,
Northen Pacific IS at 60 and West
Shore as. A new upward movement
was initiated in St LouisSan Fran
cisco prior lien a. As. Kansas City
Southern 5s and Denver and Rio
Grande 41.s were others in this same
genera! class to show strength. a
good deal of attention was paid TO the
Armour issues because o fthe sharp
break in the stocks on the day before.
ii - =
up q u OF a point and only the same
amount below the high of last year.
Armour of Delaware 5l2s at 50 were
a half.point below the years high.
In the industrial list, Marine 6s
were the most prominent, changing
hands in large blocks at an advance
of over a point, apparently discount
ing some special development. New
York Railways prior lien Us jumped a
point and a half to new top on
compa ratively small volume. Brook
lyn-Manhattan Transit 6s got 10 80
also close to the best previous price
In this instance, the advance was due
to investment buying. Third avenue
adjustments did the best among the
more speculative low priced fractions
Interborough obligations joined in the
advance.
In the second grade railway bonds

exceeded the former 1926 maximum
Buving here represented an effort tC
bring the bonds into line with other!
Of their rating. The weak railway
obligations were the Chicago Terrt
Haute and Southeastern issues, Whicl
yielded probably on selling brough
about by the testimony in the st
Paul receivership inquiry. Chicago
and Eastern Illinois SIS were more
active.
Foreign bonds were mostly firm. Th'
new Uruguay loan is expected to
