BONDS co HIGHER
IN ACTIVE TRADING
Junior Rails and InduStriaIs
Lead Way as New Levels
Are Reached.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Bpec1al D1spatcn 10 me Star.
NEW YORK, August 5.-Bonds con-
tinued their advance today. reaching
new high levels for the recovery in
early trading and holding these prices
fairly well. Trading was in heavy vol
ume, especially in the junior rails and
industrials.
The market opened higher While
the bond market has had none CT the
spectacular uprush that has character
iaed stocks in the past few days, the
daily small net advance has attracted
large following. As the market con-
solidates its gains as it goes along, few
who bought at the lower levels are in
clined to take their profits, believing
that a substantial amount Of improve
ment Is yet to come. This view is
based en- the fact that many industrial
and rail bonds. though much above
their 1882 lows, are selling at prices
scarcely higher than the common stocks
OF the same companies.
