NEW YORK, November 4.-Heavy
trading and unusually wide fiuctua-
tions. especially in the foreign group.
characterized today's dealings in the
bond market. The two classes on
which interest centered were the for
eign loans and the local fractions.
Initial advances in both were very
sharp, but all the gains were not held
and prices receded, in part at least.

sales.
The leaders today were the Belgian
6 per cent bonds of 1855. They had
closed yesterday at SSA. which was
within a quarter of a point of the
record high for all time. They opened
today with a block Of 100000 par
value at 80, up a point and three
quarters. higher than they have ever
sold before, with the next sale at 9014.
Then the bonds were freely offered
and a point of the gain was Cancelled.
The two Belgian per cent issues.
on the other hand. did not continue
the advance of the past three days.
The new StabilizatiOn loan dropped
back below 80. from the high Of the
day before. and the older rs tluCtuated
within narrow range around 9S.
In the French list the Bordeaux.
Lyons and Marseille IS had the larg-
est opening rise. Until today the 1895
record for these three ranged between
91N for the Bordeaux bonds and 9lA
for the Marseille. All three opened at
80 and above. and within half hour
