NEW YORK, November o3.-Over
dozen new bond issues we're publicly
offered today. aggregating around
$4,000 900 This brings the total for
the week to S17o, 100000. but mas.
lnuch as the two largest issues were
primarily for refundinS purposes, the
amount Of new money actually re-
ouired by this financing is not over
25 per cent of the total loans placed.
Although bond houses were busy
selling the new offerings, the regular
list moved along with decided strength
in some parts of il. The industrlals
acted Well Dodge 6s crossed 80. with
"A gain at one time Of nearly points
for the day and of points from the

that the company expects to increase

For the first time in several weeks
there was some evidence of support

in the German Bank IS. which rail-
lied a point, although the new 6s
declined again and were 4 points
