 Rails and Utilities Gain

New York. Dec. 19 GP--The quiet ness that has characterized bond trading this week was still in evil dence today. Most departments had a Grmer appearance, however, ana volume picked up little in the rails and utilities. Time money was un- changed,
 Absorption of several large mu- niCpal loans in the past two weeks, including the $65,000,000 New York city loans, has taken care of a large volume of funds seeking short term employment. Important investment sources have shown a preference for such securities pending the expected return Of easier money rates after the demands of Christmas business and year end disbursements have | been satisfied. Consequently most Of the bond markets best customers 1 have temporarily withdrawn. The new government financing has at tracted widespread interest and with the treasury apparently antlclpat- ing lower money charges there has been no disposition to make large commitments in long-term fixed charge securities.
