NEW YORK, November 14.-United
States Government issues contributed
a shade of buoyancy to an otherwise
unimpressive bond market today.
Corporate issues of the convertible
and medium priced ranges again had
to absorb a fair amount of selling in
the face of limited demand. Some
of the more volatile members slid off
2 to 3 points. Prime liens were well
supported.
Treasury loans continued on the
course set during yesterdays late
trading. In this session an early re-
action checked rise which started
right after election, but before the
close the list was disclosing signs of
fresh forward movement.
Today the Federal list. with minor
exceptions, was holding firmly at lev
els 1/32d to 6/32ds of point above
the previous closings, with several
issues at new highs.
Bonds of Allis Chalmers, American
Rolling Mill, st. Louis, San Francisco.
International Telephone, and Erie
moved down / to 3, and various other
rail and miscellaneous loans yielded
fractions.
Slightly higher prices were paid for

N standout rockies Of the ma
" jors this season-heavy-hit-

respective league batting leaders dur
ing the past week.
Each of the youngsters came up
fast, pulling up to second place in
his league and closing much of the
gap separating the leaders from the
rest of the pack the week previous.
While both pace-setters - Billy
Terry of the Giants in the National
League and Billy Sullivan of Cleve-
land in the American-were losing
ground, the rookie clouters both
boosted their averages with hitting
streaks, connecting for base blows in
every game of the week.
Martin, fifth place in the National
League a week ago, made Is hits in
81 times at bat during the week to
overhaul such veterans as his team
mate Ducky Medwick, Johnny Moore
of the Phillies and Baxter Jordan of
the Boston Bees,
Di Maggie, meantime, had 13 hits in
80 trips to the plate, boosting his
average to 1892,
