NEW YORK, Sept. 2-Many cor
porate bonds got foothold for re-
covery today. checking the precipi-
tate retreat in the previous session
on the German-Polish fight.
Further moderate losses were
ehalked up against United States
Treasury issues, however, and a
number of foreign loans were down
sharply
Overnight the market seemed to
have regained a large measure of
composure. Bids reappeared for
better grade corporate loans and
speculative demand for some sec
ondary issues lifted prices for gains
of fractions to more than 2 points
The decline in United States Gov
ernments, some dealers said, mostly
reflected a continuation of the break
in the previous session.
In the foreign division a number OF
Italian, French. Australian. Cana
dian, Belgian and German issues
were down l to around 6. German
