BOND LIST
BY MUNROE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Feb. 2 GNS0.-
The bond market presented
highly irregular appearance to.
day, with continued pressure in
the more speculative issues a fac
tor making for general price un-
settlement.
Rail FavOrites Dip
In the rail group, recent fav-
orites such as the Baltimore and
Ohio 41as of 80, New York Cen
trail 4Hs, and the various Rock
Island, Southern Pacific and
Southern Railway issues, dipped
from fractions to a point.
Pere Marquette SIS, less active
performer, dropped back 212
points to Al.
German bonds firmed up in
the foreign division, following yes
terday's late sell-off. The 512s
gained "a to 81 and the Is were
3s higher at 8012.
Pressure On BelgianS
Belgium issues were under pres
sure, the IS dipping a point to 96
and the Is of '56 off u at 1041a.
U. S. Governments were firm,
with Treasury 33ss of '43 moving

FRESH BARRAGE
FORCES CURB
BACKWARD
BY THEODORE KosLow

NEW YORK, Feb. 2 IN.SO.
The Curb Market encountered a
fresh. barrage of liquidation to-
day, following yesterdays sharp
setback and leading issues were
forced to new low ground for the
year before meeting support.
Volume Picks Up
Trading was of active proper
tions, stimulating the hope that
the present selling wave might
logically pave the way for the
long deferred spring rise.
The growing bearishnesS of
speculative quarters was believed
responsible for a growing short
position and the consequent
strengthening of the technical
underpinning of the market.
The run of utility favoriteS
gave way steadily, with American
Gas and Electric down a point
at 26 and Columbia Gas and
Electric preferred taking further
dip of IA points to 80.
Cities Service Lags
The Cities Service issues re-
ceded along with the rest of the
list, the common off 70 at 23s,
the preferred off u at IA, and
the debentures showing a loss of
"a at 3434.
Aluminium led the specialties
downward with a 2 point SELL
