FIRM UNDERT0NE ON BOND MARKET
Buying On Scale Down Forces
 Slight Recovery

New York, Dec. LP-The bond market displayed frmer undertono today as buying on a scale down forced Q slight recovery in some domestic issues that have shown marked weakness. Prince move ment continued irregular and the volume of trading was about average for the fall season.
 The railroad group on the whole was steadier. In a few instances carrier obligations that have set new lows for the year on the current decline rallied from F to a point, Utilities, however, harbored some soft spots which gave them an ir- regular tone. High grade indus trials advanced fractionally but those of lower rating were neglected
 The upturn in German govern ments has influenced q frmer tone in the European section. Latin Amer jeans were very quiet and chane"e were mostly on the upside.
 A sharp rise in investments ot reporting banks Of the federal re serve system is revealed by the re- port for the week ended November -6. The sharp contraction in other loans and discounts has influenced heavy buying of investments by banks during this long period Of easy money. During the week GOV cred by the federal reserve state ment banks added sI6,00000 in bonds other than United States gov crnments. bringing the total in crease for the year to s914000,0Q0 while their holdings of governments now are saS5.0oo, O000 more than a year ago.
 Bond investments of banks now are at a new record high surpassinS the former mark set on June 3u, 1928. Buying has been limited to the very high grade securities and to very short term issues, the New York federal reserve bank points out III it's monthly review.
