Buyers Still Control Market

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 16-The
bond market today was still meeting
heavy offerings all through the for

definitely better tone and fair sprin-
king of price advances Trading tapered
of as quotations steadied, indicating
the reluctance of buyers to move their
bids into higher ground.
The market was weak at the OPEN

week, there was a tendency to pile up
blocks of offerings at the opening
These caused many sharp breaks re-

the highest quality, broke over a point
