.UNDERTONE STEADY
IN BOND DEALINGS
Buying Little More Confident.
French Issues Are
Firm Today.
BY CHARLES +. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May lin spite Of
the continued firm rate for money
there was a steady tone today to the
general bond market. Buying was
little more confident. with rallies in
issues that have been heavy recently.
There is still an absence of definite
trend.
Many OF the high grade bonds
moved up - TO 81 Among them
were Atchison general As, Northern
Pacific 6s. Illinois Central 4a4 S. West
ern Union 5s and 412s. New York
Telephone 6s. American Telephone
and Telegraph Is and Detroit Tunnel
4i2s, the last named touching par. An
exception to the strength in this type
of bond was found in United States
Steel 5s. which were off about point
from the recent high-record figure.
Some Foreign Gain.
The feature of the foreign list was
Il revival of interest in some of the
bonds of the second and third credit
countries, such as Bulgaria. Bolivia.
Uruguay. Poland. Finland and Chile.
While not active. the issues OF these
governments showed gains of u to 2
point

railroad descriptions were all hrm,
with probably a friendlier market at
titude toward them at the moment
than to any other foreign group. At
the opening there was quite large
block of German government as in
the Street at 1863. This was ab-
sorbed and the bonds moved up IA.
Australian 5s, which were brought
out well above the market two years
ago. and have since been sluggish, are
now doing better and are up point
from the low of the year.
No explanation has been given for
the 212 point rise yesterday in United
States Rubber 5s other than action
for a speculative account. The bonds
today held just under SO. Distinct inn
provement was shown in Armour &c
Co. 5l2s. with rise of a full point
to the best level in several weeks.
Bethlehem Steel purchase money 50
were off n point from the quotation
of a few days ago. These bonds fire.
quently fluctuate considerably during
the purchase for sinking fund account.
No material change occurred in bonds
of oil producing companies.
New York fractions.
Local fractions were heavy. while

Reaction and Recovery Al

Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. May 17-Reactior
and recovery alternated in today's
stock market Trading wa not on q
large scale, but the range of prices
for the active issues was wider than
usual The selling in the -ast hour or
the day before was renewed a the
start. but when it did not bring out
, any real liquidation quotations snapped
back, nd for a time the market looked
strong, only to run into another period
of sagging. At no time could it be
fairly said that any definite trend was
indicated.
One of the strong groups was the
railway equipments. Most of these
were substantially higher. Baldwin
Locomotive jumped around in its usual
fashion, but the more sedate stocks
which have not been the objects of eX-
cessive speculation on either side were
in good demand.
Euuipments Are Strong,
American Car & Foundry and Ameri-
can Locomotive sold at approximately
til best of the year. Pressed Steel
Car and Lima Locomotive on smaller
turnover went along.
Among the rails the feature was
Reading at a new high for the year.
Buying in this stock has had a con-
fidcnt appearance for a long time,
even when the rest of the market
was weak. Chesapeake & Ohio fiuc-
tuated with great rapidity. Opening
at $50 down fractionally, it ran up
points and then came down almost
! as much. Kansas City Southern had
| a sharp reaction and then Cancelled
most of it. On the other hand, West
ern Maryland common and second pre-
! ferred We're very strong. with gains
! of to points. No one could seri
ously assert that any of these move
ments, unless il was that in Reading,
had any relation to value.
fractions Sell Down.
Developments affecting the New
/ York City fractions were interpreted
adversely and Interboro Rapid Transit
and Manhattan modified guarantee
sold down accordingly. Profit taking
appeared in Montana Power. but Con-
solidated Gas and Brooklyn Union Gas
held we'll.
+ Another example of the irregular
tty that characterized the session was
the action in Mack Trucks, although
in this case the buyers seemed to
have a little the better of the argu
ment. General Motors did better; so
did Hudson. These two were more
consistent than the balance of the
list. American Smelling & Refining
was the leader of the metal group
and there was more quiet buying Of
National Lead. South Porto Rico
Sugar went up again on official esti-
mates that earnings this year would
approach S22 a share on the old stock.
The rails were dull, but inclined to
sag. Trade advices were still pessi-
mistic.
