NEW YORK, January 30-A fresh
buying interest developed in a wide list
Of secondary bonds in the early trading
today in response to the briskly rising
stock market. Prime corporate issues
were firm, though not especially active.
United States Governments added lit
tie to their gains of yesterday.

the rank and file of bond traders, were

MANY of the steel, rubber. oil and
other leading groups reflected we'll
sustained investment support, althougn
gains we're mostly narrow.
Bond traders were interested in the
f67 900 900 decrease in holdings OF
"other securities" as shown by banks
in this district in the Federal Reserve
weekly condition statement. To some
this was an indication of bank selling
of bonds on the recent rise, but 1t was
also guessed that insurance companies
might have taken good part OF the
securities thus disposed of.
United States Governments ranged
unchanged to 5/32 of a point higher in
light trading.
The market for foreign bonds was
generally higher French issues gained
about 2 points each and Germans were

substantial gains.

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO. January 3o.-Proft- taking
after four successive days of advancing
prices led to late setbacks of the wheat
market today, temporarily wiping out
early new gains. Rallies, however, en-
sued at the finish.
The late transient reaction in wheat
was in the face of reports OF dust
storms today in Western Kansas. Fore
casts indicated rising temperatures for
the entire domestic grain belt, but no
moisture was regarded as likely in the
Southwest.
Wheat closed nervous, at the same

1T is suggested that you send SIM
