BOND LIST HIGHER
!. ON BETTER DEMAND
Easier Credit Conditions
Prove Aid to Market-In-
VeStment Buying Appears.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 3.-With easier
money as an, immediate prospect and a
considerable reinvestment demand,
bond prices made definite progress to-
day. Volume was heavier than on
Thursday, though not up to the activity
expected at the start of next week
when the financial wheels really get
turning again.
The improvement affected the entire
list, although there were some spots.
The market had some S65,000,000 in
new issues to absorb, of which sec, 000,-
900 consisted of. per cent debentures
of insult Utility Investments, Inc. The
issue was offered at 9912. In addition
to the high coupon the issue was made
attractive by the inclusion of both con-
version and stock warrant features.
The other issue of size was one for
100000 of two-year 6 per cent notes
of the Newton Steel Co., youngstown.
The notes also have a convertible fea-
ture.
The trend upward was shown, in the
high-grade list, by fractional improve
ment in Canadian National SIS, Union
Pacific first As, Great Northern rs,
Standard Oil of New York 412s,
Duquesne Light AIS. Philadelphia co.
IS and in higher prices for United
States Government obligations.
Gains. were wider and volume heav-
Ter in the junior issues of the rail-
roads. Chicago & Eastern Illinois SIS
and Seaboard Airline adjustments both
gained a point. Other advances were
made by st. Paul adjustments, Erie
general lien As, MisSouri-Pacific 5ias,
ST. Louis-San Francisco AIS and West
ern Maryland Is. The only sizeable
loss in this section was a point recess
sion by Florida East Coast first mort
gage AIS.
These sold at a new low since the
beginning of 1929. Oil company bonds
were quiet. fractions were strong
Cuban-American Sugar IS and Cuba
Cane Sugar rs, improved slightly.
United States Rubber IS were in
fiuenced by some heavy buying and adj
vanced nearly 2 points. These bonds
are now 5 points above their low level
Of 1929. On the other hand Inter-
national Paper IS dropped IL points.
Some recovery was made by foreign
descriptions that have been heavy in
recent sessions. Obligations of Bolivia,
Brazil, Rio de Janeiro City and Colon
bia improved. City of San Paulo IS
were points higher. Bogota IS adj
vanced a similar amount. French, Bel
giap, italian and Central European
credits were fractionally higher. Ger
man bonds were quiet and inclined to |
weakness.

ments are being used, however,
and belief was expressed today
that before many hours have
passed the hiccoughs viii be

Hiccoughing is caused by q sud-

cavities Of the thorax and abdo-
men, has q spasIn. The sudden
contraction and depression Of the

panied by coarse and inarticulate
sounds due to the closing and
sonorous vibration of the epi-
glottis-the valve that guards the
opening to the larynx. These
vibrations during hiccoughing
usually are 6 to Is to the minute
but sometimes they run as high
as from so to 80 q minute.
