BONDS CONTINUE
INNARR0W RANGE
Prime Issues Remain Firm,
US. Governments Move
to Higher Levels.
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The bond
market continued today in its rut OF
inaction, and the small dealings OF the
short session produced divergent
trends in values.
High-grade bonds in which trans
actions occurred lost none of the firm
ness which has marked them all
through the period of extreme dull
ness. United States Governments in
slow trading were generally a shade
higher.
Secondary rails were fairly steady,
although there were exceptions, nota-
bly, Southern Pacific AIS and New
York Central IS. which yielded sizable
fractions Modest improvement fea-
tured Baltimore & Ohio 412s. Erie SIS,
Great Northern AIS, Northern Pacific
As and Southern Railway As.
Chesapeak & Ohio 4l2s, prime
rail issue, again reflected quiet buy
ing in the face of small offerings and
rose more than point. Some of the
electric power loans were in a slightly
higher range, but communications
had some soft spots. Postal Tele-
graph SIS gave up point under few
transfers.
The trend was mixed in the foreign
department and turnover was largely
contributed by the loans of Germany,
Italy, Great Britain and Norway.
German Is were shaken down about
2 points, while the 51as gave UP
minor fraction. British 512s climbed
more than a point in a quiet mar
ket. Italy Is were little lower.

SECURITIES HOLD {
STEADY IN WEEK
Ten-Year Record Starts
One of DulIest Weeks
in Memory.
BY FREDERICK GARNER,


NEW YORK, May 26.-The securt-
ties markets steered fairly steady
course this week.
One Of the quietest weeks in recent
Wall Street memory started by estab-
fishing a 1o-year record for dullness
on the Stock Exchange. The Monday
volume was 382,l9O shares. The
highest for a full session was S30, $50
shares.
The market was shaken out of ex-
treme dullness by President Roosevelt's
1t. turned out to be less inflationary,
at least for the moment, than ardent
silverites had been predicting.
Silver Shares Break.
Silver shares broke sharply. The
main list Of stocks went down with
them, but encountered good support
above the lows of the Spring decline,
touched about the middle of the
month.
Sharp advances in wheat and corn
on forecasts Of crop damage from
drought, in foreign countries as well
as the United States, did not stir the
security markets appreciably.
Wall Street m1nimized the infla-
tionary possibilities of the adminis-
tration's silver program, arguing that
President Roosevelt would move Slow
ly and that international cooperation
was desirable to make it effective.
The dollar strengthened against
foreign exchanges after the silver
message, denoting some renewed
movement of capital toward New
York. Government bonds improved
with the dollar and high-grade corr
1884 prices.
Trade Trends Mixed.
Mixed trend confused the business
picture. Steel men gathered for the
annual meeting Of the American Iron
& Steel Institute added their pre-
dictions to prophecies from other
quarters that further decline In steel
operations was probable. Most OF
them voiced faith that the main
trend has not been broken.
The weekly car loading report dis
closed a better r-than-seasonal gain Of
more than 5000 cars. The total. at
6l1,142 cars, was not far from the
1884 top figure of 625,773 cars, touched
in March.
Brokers took a gloomy view Of the
Federal control bill as they prepared
to adjust themselves to it and were
resigned to a slow Summer.
