NEW YORK, August 1S.-The bond
market continued to point upward for
the fifth consecutive session today,
although the advance was not so
rapid nor as uniform. Slight irregu-

Trading was extremely dull, COM
pared with other sessions during the

subjected to severe selling. The
Standard Statistics Co. average of so
domestic corporate loans advanced
two-tenths of a point to $50. For the
week this average improved l.3 points.
While weekend adjustments and
some profit taking checked the rapid
rise of domestic corporate loans,
prime carrier and utility issues held
steady and in some instances, such
as Chesapeake & Ohio general 412s,
which closed % higher at Ills prices
came within a small fraction of the
years high. Canadian National Rail-
way 41hs also approached the years
high at l11H. up "a on the day.
other corporate issues selling

lower. Treasury IS Of 81, the most
