BY DONALD c. BOLLES.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE bond
market displayed a firm trend today
and many investment issues were &C.
cumulated at good fractions above the
previous close. The volume of trading
was about average for a short session
Railroad bonds profited from a good
demand. st. Paul S. EriS IS of 1878.
Northern Pacific Is, Wabash SIS and
Frisco 4l2s were among the legal In
vestments that displayed a strong tone.
Realizing cut into the advance in
Southern Railway Is, which we're up
more than point yesterday
There was some irregularity In the
utility group. which has had strong
competition this week from large VOL
ume of new offerings. American Tele-
phone SIS of 1860 was slightly lower and
International Hydroelectric IS turned
reactionary, but some of the electric
company obligations registered small
advance.
United States Governments, the
strorg feature of the weeks movement,
were heavy and sold slightly under
their high prices for the current ad-
vance. The further recovery in Rich
field Oil IS stood out in the stock priv
ilege group. The bonds rallied to 81, to
wipe out the llla point drop that fol-
lowed the receivership.
Foreign bonds were irregularly high
er. German International SIPS led the
advance, rising more than a point in
active trading.

Business Notes

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE In
creased call for pure dye silks has now
reached the stage where the demand
for these goods, as against weighted
types, is materially swelling the con-
sumption of raw silk, the trade in New
York reports. In some quarters the
view was expressed that the need for
the mills to replenish supplies of silk
on hand is becoming more pressing
and frequent.

 If you will follow the hand closely. you will notice that the declarer's hand contains four deuces. The aD- nouncer decided that the broadcast ing was over as about all tho declarer could do with four deuces was to meid them if he were playing ptnochie, or, if he were playing poker. he would probably call his opponents. But the deciarer insisted on playing the hand out. and the first deuce --- the deuce Of spades -- was led. West discarded the king of hearts. decided to allow his part ner to protect the heart suit. A heart was/ surrendered from dunn my. East must protect the club suit and let go the jack of hearts. Tn. second deuce. the deuce of hearts, was led and West, rather than bear down to his king of clubs, discarded the diamonds. This left the declarer with the good deuce Of diamonds West held the king and one club dummy the acc and queen of clubs and East was left with the jack and one club. The declarer led the deuce of diamonds. West saw hs was helpless and threw away the king of clubs. deeIarer then discard. cd the ace of clubs from dummy played the deuce of clubs and made 1t unanimous for the four ladies by winning the last trick with the queen of clubs in dummy.
