Issues Climb.

NEW YORK, December 5.-The
bond market today was dominated by
what traders referred to as special
situations" These consisted of series
OF sweeping gains entirely diSsociated
from the main trend, which continued
mixed and narrow.
Most prominent in this upswing
were loans of several Cuban sugar
companies, Pacific Coast oil units and
paper, power and utility concerns.
The movements were linked with re-
ports pointing to favorable develop
ments of one kind or another affect
ing individual companies. Many is
sues had scored wide gains earlier in
the week.
The movement added 612 to points
to Manati Sugar 712s and certificates,
and to to International Hydro
Electric IS, Richfield Oil 6s, Camaguey
Sugar Is, American Writing Paper IS
and American & Foreign Power 5s.
Most medium priced and low yield
issues which usually command the
bulk of trading interest showed no
important changes in values. Rails
had a few minor advances, but it was
an uneven swing.
