 Days Early Trades

New York. Dec. 2 (P)-Substantial Luying orders boosted bond prices throughout the entire list today. Trading was active in high grade domestic mortgages and although in- Quiry centered in the rails, the de- nand for industrials and utilities of investment caliDre quickencd.
 Time money returned to quota tions of 4 1-2 to 4 3-4 per cent for all maturities against 3-4 to 3 last Wednesday, when the market closed for the remainder of the week. With Brokers Loans down another 9137.- 100000 and money in plentiful sup ply for both call and time loans. even lower rates seemed in prospect. from large corporations which are no longer putting funds into the call market.
 A few new highs for the year ap- pcarcd in the early trading. and other issues duplicated their previous group were Southern Railway Gener- al Is, Missouri Pacific Refunding 5s, series F. and National Dairy Prod ucts 5 As Oil 5l5 s were in good demand just below their peak liquidation.
 One of the days features was the volume of new financial falling into the municipal classification. Recent gains in bonds are bringing out in- creasing amounts of such loans. which had been held to a minimum during the long depression in fixed income securities. The offerings to- day. totaled more than s14,000, GOO. Detroit was in the market with q s4,000.00o issue of short term serial F g, priced to yield 4S0.

TREND DOWNWARD
 IN MARKET PRICES
Outbursts Of Buying Soon Die-
 Steel Drops Again

Now York, Dec. 2 (P}-Thc line Of least resistance in today's stock mar ket was again downward. Sporadic outbursts of buying took place in a selected assortment Of tobacco. pub lie utility, railroad and chemical shares, but these were checked when professional selling pressure was renewed against L. s. Steel common and several of the other so-called pivotal industrials. Trad ing was relatively light in volume.
 Days News Mixed
 Tho days business news was mixed in character. A series Of in- creased and extra dividends by small companies was offset by re- ports Of a further decline in steel mill operations in the mid to about 90 per cent Of capacity and reports Of further falling off in sales Of some of the large automo- bile manufacturers.
 The announcement Of a large capital expenditure program by the railroad and public utility com panies for 1880 apparently has failed to stimulate much of a demand for the stocks Of companies likely to profit by this increased business.
 The further decline Of sl37.O0O,- 900 in federal reserve brokers loans last week brought the total down to the lowest level since November 1927. Thus eight weeks of deHation have more than wiped out the gains of the preceding two years. Credit conditions continue relatively easy. Call money renewed at 4lz per cent, and appeared 10 be in fairly plenti- ful supply at that figure.
 Columbian Carbon was the spec tacular individual feature in today's market, running up nearly 90 points on what appeared to be the retreat Of an overCroWded short interest,
 Buying Soon Disappears Early in the session. a good de mand also developed for the West ern Maryland issues, Atlantic Gulf x West Indies, American Tobacco issues, Simmons Co., Allied Chemical and L. s. Industrial Alcohol, but the buying petered out when weak ness cropped out in other sections of the list
 J. I. Case and General Electric cancelled their early gains of , IA and points, respectively, the latter selling down to 2Ie. or 3l, points below last weeks close. before it met effective buying support. Ana conda Wire & Cable broke points 10 q new 1929 low at 5-S.

HOLIDAY LIGHTING PLAN PROGRESSING
Merchants Will Illuminate Gen. ter During Christmas Season

Special lighting on Main street during the Christmas season is dcfi- nitely assured and work on installing the equipment will begin within d few days, so that by December 10. Main street from Franklin Square 10 St Mary's church will glow with thousands Of red. green, white, blue end yellow lights. twinkling and scintillating in the night.
 A meeting of the street decorating and Illuminating committee was held at the Chamber of Commerce head quarters today and it vas reported that final plans have been complct- od for decorating the southern end of Main street as far north as East Main street, with the report on the northern end of the street not yet filed.
 No report was made by the West Main street and Church street com- mittcemen are interviewing business men in those localities, but unofii. cial reports are to the effect that cooperation is unanimous.
 A few minor changes have been made in the plans. Arch street still remains in doubt. At first it was cX- pected to carry the decorations as lar as Grand street, donating to the south church whatever the cost ot covering that space might cost. II was decided that the expense was too great to absorb and the Arch street project was dropped. It has come up again however, and present , indications point 10 a possibility oi including that street. Lafayette and East Main streets arc said to have been definitely dropped.
 Lights will be placed two feet apart instead of IS inches as pre- Viously planned.
 Broad street still remains in doubt At a preliminary meeting when this project first was discussed it was suggested that Broad street merchants might be willing to con- tinue the decorations probably as far west as Grove street.
 Secretary Ralph II. Benson of the Chamber of Commerce stated today that the Polish Business Mems asso- ciation has never cOopcratcd with the Chamber of Commerce and no rffort had been made to invite them 10 join in this movement. He refer rcd all suggestions to Chairman Max well S. Porter Of the McrCantile Bureau. Mr. Porter said tho matter was being given further consldera- lion and that if the Polish Busi- ness Mems association eNinCed q de- sire 10 join the movement the mor- cantile bureau would extend d cord ial welcome. West Main street has been curtaiIed so that decorations will extend only to the western end of the Raphael building on one side and the Connecticut Light and Pow CT building on the other side. The large space fronting the Cooley and ' Baptist church properties on one side and the post office on the other are considered too much to absorb.

 It is expected that hearing vii! be had later in the week on the motion made today.
