NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-The bond
market fell back into an irregular
trend today with price changes in
both directions small Some Jap

Brokers attributed the indifferent
performance of the list to profit
taking in the wake of Thursday and
Friday markups of substantial pro-
portions in some bonds, plus general
hesitation to make fresh commit
ments until Europe had the week
end behind it.
