NEW YORK, Jan 10.-Buyers got
a firm hold on some of the more
speculative sections of the bond
market today, and, as dealings
neared midday, gains outnumbered
losses
A small turnover was sufficient in
most cases to swing prices either
way as the market held off in antlcl-
patton of President RooseVelt's arm
ament message to Congress and a
clearer slant on 1889 industrial
trends.
United States Government loans
we're more in the limelight and
losses of 4-32ds of a point were
balanced by gains of about as much.
Checking recent downward tend
encies in the market generally,
small gains were managed by some
loans of Great Northern, Interna-
tional Telephone, St. Paul. Santa Fe,
American & Foreign Power, New
