HEAVY TONE SEEN
 0N BOND MARKET
Liquidation in Domestic Corpo- rate Issues Forces Rails Down

New York, Dec, s LP,-Bonds con unued 10 move in uncertain fashion today. The new week brought no change in sentiment toward domes- lie bonds and mild selling gave the list heavy tone. Foreign dollar is- sues maintained a firm trend and prices were a small fraction abova Saturdays close.
 Liquidation in domestic corporate te issues forced numerous railroad and industrial bonds into new low ground for the current decline, and was most marked among second grade obligations. Erie fves of 1867 dipped to another new low for the year and Boston and Maine tives, Missouri Pacific 5s, Southern Rail way 4s, Sea board 4s were among other rails that resumed their de- cline. High priced issues were gen. erally steady.
 Railroad and industrial issues in lhe stock privilege class were under pressure General Theaters 6s and Lautaro Nitrate 6s dipped 10 new lows.
 United States governments held
 firm. The treasury announcement that the quarterly financing would consist Of s40G.00O.O0U treasury cer- lificatcs bearing interest at the low est rate since the war caused no surprise in bond circles II was ex- pected that the unusual cheapness of money would enable the govern for government operations at large saving in interest.
