IRREGULAR BOND
 PRICES OBSERVED
Undertone Unusually Firm,
 HoWeVer-Tradefs Hopeful

New York, March 25 P}-small gains and losses were scatterc l through the bond list today. giving the market an appearance of surface irregularity on a slightly larger volume, The undertone, however, was exceptionally firm and the low ering of the call loan rate 10 1-2 per cent from the renewal figure If I served to fill out some of the in consequential depressions. The turn over increased after the ease in money.
 Dealers Raise Rate
 Dealers raised the rate on bank CTS acceptances an eighth Of on ? per cent. Time funds were steady in a dull market
 Strong spots in the earlier trad ing embraced several midwestern rails. Chicago & Eastern Illinois SIS advanced more than q point and Chicago Great Western As rose ?. St. Paul adjustment SIS crossed v, but traded rather slowly.
 The high light of the convertible group was the rise in American Telephone 1 1-2's to the highest level since last fall. Baltimore &; Ohio 1-2's rose fractionally, while Missouri Pacific 1-2's sagged.
 Rails Split Tendencies
 Early sales in Nickel Plate First 4s, Missouri Pacific 5s, Sinclair Pipe Line Sc, Standard Oil of New Jersey 5s, Delaware & Hudson As, Lorillard 5s, Northern Pacific prior lien As and other representative bonds found a slightly lower market, but the half point losses in these issues were matched by gains in Santa Fe General As, Central Pacific 5s, Erie 5s Southern Railway General 4s and other firm obligations.
 Foreign bonds crept upward. In some instances progress was by size able steps, for Belgium Is rose B full point to equal their years high. Italy Is went into new high ground just under 101. Budapest City 5s rose S-4.
 United States government securi- ties were slightly irregular.
 Behavior Satisfactory
 The markets behavior in the face of substantial new financing is re- garded as most satisfactory. Offer ings of high grade bonds are being distributed much more easily than was the case a month ago and many of the new issu2s promptly com mand higher prices on admittance to trading. The $1s,000,000 Cleve- land Union Termipals company loan, in first mortgage .41as, sold half 8 point above the offering price of 9S on "when issued" con- tracts this forenoon.

CURB OPERATIONS SHOWING ADVANCE Buoyancy Of Big Board Missing
 Flicker Falls Behind

New York, March 25 R}-Opera- tions for the advance went forward with vigor on the curb market to- day, but there remained a distinct tendency to take profits on advances, and this market failed notably to develop the buoyancy of the "bie board"
 Trading was in large volume, the tape falling several minutes behind the market, but was not proportion ate to the hectic activity on the larger market. The curb remains a leading market for new securities, and as new financing remains at a low ebb, activity 'on this market is correspondingly curtailed.
 American Cyanamid Rises
 American Cyanamid "B" was sent up more than ? points in active trad ing to new high ground for the year, and Deere new stock rose 3 to the best level for this issue. American Chain and A. o. Smith penetrated further into new high ground. Aluminium Co. sold up several points in a moderate turnover. Fokller Air craft, a firm spot yesterday, en- countered considerable profit taking in response to rumors that the 1929 earnings report would be rather un- satisfactory.
 Oils continued to climb, but at a somewhat reduced rate. Standard of Indiana got into new high territory above 57, and Humble was in fair demand. Gulf turned rather dull Cities Service was again active but failed to break out of its recent narrow trading area.

 Electric Bond & Share held a couple of points below it's peak of the year. Consolidated Gas of Balti- more sold up moderately to new high ground.
 Transcontinental was a strong fea- ture of the investment trusts, rising couple of points to new high ground. Guardian Fire was soft spot in the specialties, dropping to a new low for the year.

to give his reasons why he contended that the mayor would not incrim- mate himself by testifying before the grand jury.
 Mir. Alcorn replied that the mayor owed it to the city, the state, the nation, to assist in law enforcement. By appearing before the grand jury, he waived his privilege of refusing to testify and now that he had given some information as to the violation of the liquor laws he should be compelled to give it all.
 Mir. Alcorn pointed out that day after day in the police court, poor creatures without friends or money" are fined and jailed for violating the liquor law but now the mayor of the city of Hartford comes before the grand jury and admits that he participated in a violation of the 18th amendment and then appeals to the court for the protection of the same constitution.
 This report was made through Radph o. Wells, foreman of the grand jury in the proceedings brought by the special grand jury Alcorn to secure from a court an or der to compel both Mayor Patterson and MT. Allen, who have been wit nesses before it. to answer certain questions, the nature of which was unknown until the case began in court.
 Bootlegger Named "Murphy"
 The name of the bootlegger given in the report was Murphy. The grand jury, which had had a session just before court opened, made its report to the effect that it had failed to secure more details of the liquor transaction from Mayor Patterson and Mir. Allen. The jury asked the court for necessary authority to de- mand the desired testimony from both witnesses.
 Declined to Incriminate Self
 Mayor Patterson had refused to name the "friend"~ through whom he had bought liquor, reference to which had come into the testimony taken by the jury. MT. Allen de- clined to give the jury any inforrha- ton on the ground that to do so might incriminate himself. Argu- ment by counsel followed as to whether MT. Allen should show that his testimony would incriminate himself or whether the states at torney should show that such testi- mony would incriminate Mir. Allen. The grand jury report was to the effect that MT. Patterson, as mayor of the city, was head of the police department and was therefore un- der special obligation to give the jury any information he might have as to liquor sales.
 The jurys report to the court said:
 If the mayor as head of police department may furnish protection to his favorite bootlegger by his re- fusal to testify there is no apparent reason why any other police officer on the force should not in like man. ner furnish like protection to his favorite bootlegger; if protection may be properly so furnished, there is no evident reason why such pro- lection should not be purchased. Corruption in the police department consists in the purchase of such pro- tection"
 A short recess was then taken be- fore the court was ready to rule on the plea that Mayor Patterson be required to name the friend" through whom he had made a pur- chase of liquors.
