 1-4s and 4th 4 1-4s were heavily traded.
 While the sharp dip in bond
 prices this week has reflected the liquidation from special sources. To- cal banking circles said New York City banks were not disposing of. their holdings, which now are the largest since the spring of 1928.
 Thus far there have been no indica-

 to a belief that the extreme ease of money rates, which make bonds att

Stock Market List Drifts Lower After Remaining Fairly Steady
 During Fore Part of Its Session
Several Issues Decline Two to Six Points to New Lows for Bears-Liqui- dation Orderly.

New York, Dec. tLP)-The stock market drifted substantially lower after holding fairly steady during the early trading today.
 Selling was in fair volume, and several issues declined to points to new lows for the bear market. Liquidations, however, was orderly and unhastened.
 Shares recording new minimum levels with losses or to 4 points in cluded New York Central, Baltimore &5 Ohio, Norfolk & Western. Para mount, American and Foreign Pow CT, Johns Manville, Case, Colum bia Carbon, American Water Works, and Warrington Pump. Atchison lost points. Other shares losing to 3 points included L. s. Steel. Ameri- can Telephone, Eastman, Byers, American Can. and Loews.
 Depressing Factor
 Recent heaviness in some of the commodities appeared to be a de- pressing factor in the stock market. Cotton futures sold at new lows for the season, which came on the heels of the sag in copper and silver. Steel prices, however, seem to be maintaining their recent improve ment, and stabilization of wheat seems to progress satisfactorily.
 An adverse psychological factor, naturally, was the news of the talk nc n state banking commissioner, but Wall street was inclined to regard this development as g. bitter but tonic pill.
 While the institution was one of the newer ones in the city, and was without important connections, the situation surrounding it had been the basis of exaggerated rumors for some time. Wall street feels that this decisive action will be found to have been an important step to- ward revival of confidence.
 Tells of Cotton
 Chairman Legge Of the farm | board presented an encouraging an- 2lysis Of the cotton situation, point | ing out that stocks on hand through | out the world are being steadily de- pleted, and the reduction in the use of cotton has been much less than the reduction in spinning activity. MT. Legge al-0 indicated that the government would continue to hold the wheat carry-over as long as for ! elgn prices refuse to come to the level of domestic quotations.
 A conspicuous item of corporate news was the declaration of the reg ular quarterly dividends on the ST and s6 preferred issues of Interna- | tlonal Paper and Power, with the | explanation that there had been a 1 substantial increase in income, SC 1 that the accruals were now being ! earned.
 l Credit conditions were little changed. Call money was rather firm at ? per cent. Canadian ex- change declined sharply: resulting in a shipment of s5,oOO,00O in gold from Montreal to New York.
