SCARCITY IN BONDS SHOWN IN UP7URN
Latin American Country's Issues
 Develop Steadiness

New York, Sept P-The in creasing scarcity of high grade bonds and the recent absence of large offerings were reflected in an- other upturn in prices of domestic issues today. Volume of trading ex- banded moderately.
 Numerous rails changed hands in sizeable blocks at small advances and again there was a liberal scat tering of new highs. Favorites in cluded Chesapeake & Ohio 4 1-2s, New York Central 5s, St. Louis-San Francisco 4 1-2s, Western Maryland 1-2s and Union Pacific 4 1-2s, while in the lower price bracket the Missouri Pacific and Erie listings manifested upward tendencies. Hud- son Manhattans income 5s were also taken at higher levels.
 Bidders were less inclined to reach for the utilities and some of the bet ter issues eased from recent highs. 1ndustrials were quiet and firm. New York scity fractions again rallied.
 Irregularity persisted in the for eign division. French governments reacted slightly from yesterdays new highs and there was another mixture of changes in the Latin Americans, although those issues developed a little more steadiness. United States governments shaded off on small transactions.
 The days new offerings were lim- ited to two municipal loans of minor size. Midsummer dullness in bond fotations prevailed this week, when issues marketed amounted to s67,- 159,o00 against S67,907000 last week.
