BOND ISSUES DROP
IN QUIET MARKET
Effect of Money Rates Is
Felt by U. S. and Other
Securities.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 20.-The
money strain was increased today and
reflected in higher rates for acceptances
and a continuation of the abnormally
stiff rate for time loans. Under these
conditions it is obvious that high-grade
securities should have been adversely
affected.
The United States Liberty fourth
AIS sold at the lowest of the year, and
the first 4I4s were at about their low
est. So were the Treasury 338S OF l945.
There was quite distinct easing OH IN
the prices of Short-term securities. a
few of the inactive but high-creolt
corporation bonds dropped down to a
level that about duplicated the low OF
last Summer.
The volume of selling was small, with
the market tone more affected by alb
sence of demand than by the size OF
the offerings. Some of the dealers ap-
peared to be liquidating old lots OF Sc
curities. but complained that too fire.
uuently they found bids limited to f1Ve
and ten bond units.
The speculative list was not aHected
by money conditions to any extent.
Consequently, there were sections OF IL
IIldL eAfllDitSQ pIOIlOuuNSN SOlNAlSeAA' ~
Guiding the convertibles of the mining
companies, oils, fractions and public
utilities. Andes Copper Is advanced
over 4 points. Public Service OF New
Jersey 4i2s gained 215 points, Barnsdall
IS were up "a points, while Interna-
tional Telephone AIS, which promise
to be one of the most active conVerti-
bles next year, reached a new high
record.
Although the Florida division 6s of
the Seaboard Air Line rallied some
what, Florida East Coast IS reached
new low point for the year. AT the
present price they give a yield of nearly
61k per cent. Earlier in the year they
sold on 512 per cent basis. There
has been some talk recently of an effort
on the part of one of the Southern
roads to obtain control of this line.
Bolivian issues recovered a little more
ground, but throughout the South and
Central American group there were
signs of liquidation and an absence OF
demand, even at the new level of prices
established tfAs month.

NEW YORK, December 20.-The cot
ton market opened steady today at ad-
vances of 7 to IS points. and the ac-
tive months soon showed net gains OF
