DEPRESSED
IN HEAVY SELLING
U. S. Issues and High Grade
Rails Quiet-Foreign
Group Lower.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

NEW YORK, December 13.-The
| downward movement was resumed on
today's bond market, but trading was
not as heavy as on Thursday, and the
recession was slow and orderly. Con-
vertible bonds, under the influence of
the higher stock market opening, shot
rapidly up to their highs of the week,
and then receded as fast when stocks
declined
The stock market exercised some in
flueEce in the mortgage list, in that
buyers at recent low levels were inclined
to take profits. Also there was an
amount of selling necessitated to hold
up margin accounts. But this was
readily absorbed, and since bond prices
in the past three days have again
reached profitable levels for purchase.
there was some buying, on which few
issues recovered lost ground and a few
made gains.
The increase in brokers' loans was
not followed by rise in time money,
although the approach of year-end re-
qulrementS has caused a slightly firmer
demand This, also, has had its effect
on the investment market. Traders
predict continued irregularity in bonds
until after the new year.
u. S. Government issues and the high
grade group OF rails, 1nduStrlalS and
public utilities were quiet Atchison
general Is, New York Central SIC and
Columbia Gas SIS were fractionally
higher Liberty bonds were strong.
There was some activity in the trac-
tons at slightly lower prices. Oil bonds
shared the weakness, Pan-American
Petroleum IS dropping point, Colon IS
nearly 2 points and Philips Petroleum
5l4s fraction.
Declines of a point or more in the
second-grade rail list were general.
Chicago and Great Western As were an
exception, up l point.
The foreign list was again quite ac-
tive compared with the domestic section.
Brazilians continued their recession of
Thursday. On the other hand, Peruvian
Colombian, Uruguayan and Bolivian
bonds were fractionally better German
issues were quiet pending settlement of
the cabinet crisis. but what sales there
were showed a firm tendency. Other
European descriptions were irregular.
French rails were strong.

BURRITTS FACE REAL HARD TEST
Scheduled to Battle Torrinston Alpine Five Tonight

The Burritt basketball team is expected to receive . real test this evening at the Stanley arena when it clashes with the strong Torring- ton Alpine five. Both teams have scored victories in the past month by one-Sided scores and are anxious to nose out a win this evening. The local team has won eight straight games while the visitors have cap tured nine straight. Both teams have been beaten only once this season.
 There has always been much speculation in this city concerning the basketball ability of Torrington High teams which have captured state honors for the last few years. Many contend that the local high school could easily defeat Torring- ton aggregations while others claim that the local hoopsters would be no match for the upstaters. AS all of the members of the Alpine team are former high school players, the people of this city will have a chance to judge the relative merit of the basketball ability between the two places this evening.
 All of the players on the Burritts have partaken of two games in the Industrial league this week and Manager Ken Saunders is confident that his men will be on edge for a tough battle. Yakubowicz and Havlick will start in the forward positions, Luty will jump center, while Darrow and Carlson will cover the backcourt. Gill and Rose will be the utility men,
 Darrow and Carlson have been attracting attention by their bril- liant work at guard. Opposing for wards have found it almost impos- sible 10 score on these two men in the last eight games. Besides being strong on the defensive, each man possesses good eye for the basket.
 The game tonight will start at s o'clock and will be followed prompt ty by tho New Britain Bristol battle.

BUCKLE MAKERS
 DEFEAT LANDERS
North & Judd Girls Team Wins
 Only Game of Season
Girls Standing

All the advance dope about the Landers- North & Judd girls game was rent asunder in the last sched- uled game in the girls Industrial Basketball league at the Tabs hall last night when North & Judd girls won their first game of the season over Landers. The final score was to 3.
 The defense of the North X Judi misses was so strong that the Uni versals were unable 10 score single held goal throughout the game. The best the losers could do was to score three foul goals, two by Nelly Sar- tinski and one by Charlotte Jacobs. The Buckle Makers scored three pretty field goals Eva and Pulls Nalukonis and Helen Rennock each contributed 10 the victors' score.
 The count at half time was e-all. Two foul goals by Landers matched the sensational long shot of Eva Valukonis which came one minute after the second quarter began. Then Julia Valukonis popped in field goal and North X Judd took the lead. When Rennock made her shot an over head effort. it was apparent that the game was on ice for Coach Murphy's team.
 The North & Judd quintet show cd a wonderful improvement over previous games last night. The work of Mary Bardinek and Gloria Derry in the back court were fea- lures which greatly aided the team on 10 victory.
 Credit for the steady improve. ment of the team must go to Jim my" Murphy, the coach, who i, probably one of the city's Outstand. ing coaches of girls teams. Ht showed them organized passwork defense and how to shoot. | The summary.
