sponse to specific corporate events than
to general news, though oils maintained
most OF their recent strength and ac-
t1v1ty and gold shares continued to lag.
Loss IN asset values Of the Harrison

Light and electric shareholdings dull
most of the session.
Bell Telephone of Canada with a rise
of / u points made the widest swing of
any foreign issue during the third hour,
while Ford Motor of Canada A worked

BONDS CONTINUE
UPWARD MARCH
Trading Falls OFF, However,
as Government Issues
Become Less Active.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 26-The bond
market continued its upward march to-
day Trading, owing to greatly reduced
ment bonds, was only moderately active
1t is now nearly month since the
present movement got under way and
not once during that time has profit
taking proved too heavy for the list.
Even the sharp advances of Monday
the average gain was the greatest for
any single session this year-brought no
important selling There was good
investment demand which placed buying
orders 'at the market" instead of a
point or more below it, as has been
the case for many months.
The emphasis today was again on in
dustrial bonds, notably those of COM
panies that would Immediately benefit
from steadier commodity prices, such
as Texas Corporation 5s, Sinclair Oil
6s, National Steel IS, Goodrich 6S,
Goodyear SIS, Dodge Bros IS, Chile
Copper SIS and Colon Oil IS.
The unusual activity in the railroad
list induced by approval of the Eastern
but offerings also dried up. Northern
rs, Western Maryland SIPS and Mis-
souri-Pacific general As were strong.
There were good gains in Allegheny
Corporation IS, Chesapeake Corporation
IS, Atchison convertible AIS, Canadian
Pacific SIS and Illinois Central 434s.
Junior utilities, such as American &
Foreign Power SIS, International Tele-
phone IS and Western Union IS, made
progress.
United States Government long
term bonds remained firm in small
volume of trading. Banks intending to
issue currency against Treasury IS and
31ss and 3ass have largely satisfied
their requirements in these issues and
there is tendency to trim portfolios
Of Government bonds pending the al
lotments on the $3.50 100000 of 2 and
year notes. The new Treasury issue
is reported to have been heavily over
subscribed. Should the allotments be
very small further rise in outstand-
ing Governments may be expected.
Treasury lbs, due August /, of which
$227 100000 are outstanding, were to-
day quoted at 100 1922 bid Holders
of these are entitled to prior allotments
of the new issues. The siZeable prem
iums quoted in "when-issued" trading
for the new issues were therefore
understandable. The two-year 2 lbs
were 100 4-32 bid, 100 1892 asked, and
the four-year alas, 100 24-32 bid,
100 1892 asked.
The check to the flow Of funds into
Government bonds, pending allotment
of the new issues, caused banks and
other large institutions to place large
sums in the money market temporarily
and time money went to record low
proportions, with nearly all maturities
quoted at ! to IA per cent. For
comparisons, one must go back to the
'e0s.
