NEW YORK, July 18.-The bond
market ran into a gust of profit
taking in late trading today which
took the wind out of a good-sized
morning advance.
At the start of the last hour gains
we're still far in the majority But
top marks had been trimmed, and
there wa sa spattering of minus
signs.
Rail loans were singled out for
most attention by buyers, seen in a
favorable light following sharp up
turns in carloadings and preponder-
antly favorable earnings reports.
Higher by fractions to point or
more were Erie SIS of rs. Great
Northern As of As Ct" Baltimore g.
Ohio convertible AIS. Wabash first
SIS, Pere Marquette 4l2s and st. Paul

Substantial buying was diverted to
the utility group, where gains were
scored by Commonwealth Edison
3l2s and Montana Power 334s.
United States Governments edged
up on only handful of sales. For
eign dollar loans also charted a
slightly higher but quiet course.

The drive started after an early
attempt at rally petered out. A
sale OF l4,500 shares of the recently
buoyant Curtiss- Wright common
around 2 pm. brought a flood of
offerings in other so-called war
stocks and touched off numerous
stop-loss orders in vulnerable issues.
Dumping was so insistent for a
while that the ticker tape fell a few
minutes behind floor transactions.
A little support then arrived and ex-
treme declines were reduced in most
instances at the close. Dealings
slackened appreciably on the come

greater part of the session, picked up
sufficiently in the final hour to put
the volume in the neighborhood of
