NEW YORK, April 29.-The bond
market pursued an erratic course today
in active trading. Sudden spurts were
made by speculative issues. but the
general tone was heavy.
The market started with an irregular
price level. Weakness continued in the
railroad issues, with sharp losses shown
by the junior carriers. Later IN the
session the approval of some smaii
loans to the st. Louis-San Francisco,
Central of Georgia, the cotton Deit
and smaller roads caused speculative
shorts in carrier bonds to cover, ana

that New York City member banks

CHICAGO, April 29.-Active buying
on the part of houses with Eastern
connections rallied the wheat market
late today, overcoming losses which had
preceded.
Word of good export business in hard
Winter wheat from the United States,
the first in three weeks, had a stimu-
lating effect. Announcement of a re-
duction of Germany's import duty on
wheat was also a late element of
strength.
Wheat closed irregular, "a of to 4
