NEW YORK, September 16.-Rail-
road bonds were the strongest feature
of a market that exhibited frmness
in every department today. Trading
was moderately active.
At the opening there was no lmpor-
tant accumulation of orders on either
side of the market and 1t was some
time before active trading was under
wav. Continental markets had marked
time awaiting Wall Streets opening
Yet when the upturn started in the
Junior railroad list good portion OF
the buving came from European centers
The reiteration Of the determination
of the Railroad Credit Corporation not
to permit any more receiverships was
one reason for the buying. Another was
the expectation that the weekly car
loading figures on Saturday will show
a substantial increase, allowing for the
Labor day holiday.

Junior railroad bonds have been the
chief sufferers in the recent reaction

have the swiftest recovery. But indus
