List Says.
BY F. III. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 25.-While spec
ulative bonds turned reactionary again
today, after having opened higher, the
main list of seasoned investment issues
continued to show strength. A few OF
the second-grade group advanced into
new hign ground for the year. United
States Government long issues were
inclined to sag narrowly. Foreign dollar
bonds were firm after initial weakness.
Th market opened sharply higher,
following the last-minute Splurge of
buying in rail securities Wednesday.
Initial gains of ! to 2 points in active
speculative carrier bonds. however. were
quickly cancelled once the overnight or
ders were absorbed. The current reac-
ton in speculative bonds is an orderly
affair, with no signs that it will reach
the dimensions of major selling move
ment. After two months Of continuously
rising prices, the market is expected to
take a few days to consolidate its gains.

who are holding bonds for the long pull

sell in view OF the earnings situation.
However, railroad stocks were being
bid higher, not an earnings reports but
on rising commodity prices and better
business reports, promising increased
freight revenues. There was still good
