BONDS IRREGULAR

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 19.-After
moving sharply higher at the opening,
today's bond market met a moderately
large volume of offerings and turned ir-
regular. Trading was fairly active.
At the opening the list took its cue
from the stock market and, under the
lead of United States Government long
term securities, advanced all along the
line. While it is not to be presumed
that the new restrictions on short SELL
ing will have any effect on bond trad
ing, anything that induces a bullish
tone in stocks is nowadays reflected in
the investment market.
The fact that the Federal Reserve
bank did not reduce its rediscount rate
in conformity with the acton of the
Bank of England was no surprise to
the market There is still a confident
feeling that this action has only been
delayed a week. Hence Thursdays ad-
vance in long-term Liberties and Treas
uries was duplicated today.
In the first hour every active issue in
this group reached new top on the
recovery. Subsequently there was some
selling and large part of the gains
were cancelled. especially in Treasury
3s Treasury 33sS and Liberty Fourth
4l4s.
However, good net gains were held by
Liberty 312S and Liberty First Al
both of which are regarded virtually as
short term securities owing to their
imminent call dates. Liberty Fourth
ASS came within a shade Of par in the
early trading.
Government bonds accounted for more
than a third of the total trading, as on
Thursday so their effect on the gen.
eral list was marked. High grade cor
poration descriptions were pushed up
fractionaIly. The best gains were in
American Telephone 5s, Consolidated
Gas 512S, Utah Power g. Light 5s,
Atchison General Is, Norfolk g. Western
