 Bond List Inactive
 Despite the favorable reception of the new treasury financing at 4 7-S per cent and reports that the issue would apparently be widely dis trbutnd among individual investors as well as banks, the bond list as a whole attracted little attention. A few railroad obligations traded in moderate blocks at virtually no variations from the last sales on Saturday. Industrials and utilities likewise were steady. but inactive.
 The United States government group showed some improvement. With activity limited to three or four securities. the trend Of the foreign division was toward higher ground.
 State Issue Interests
 Interest was shown in the offer ing Of a s2S,00O,OOO issue of New York state eight month notes bear ing a per cent rate. Financing at this comparatively low rate was made possible by an arrangement whereby state banks subscribing for the notes will receive consideration in the placing of state deposits.
 The current plan of financing was decided upon in view of the fact that in this market an issue of long term bonds would be unattractiVe at low coupon. Indications were that tho issue would be heavily ovcrsub- scribed.
