U.S.. GOVERNMENTS
NEAR HIGH EVELS
Further Advances Result
From Quiet Buying BY In

NEW YORK, April 2. Up -
without fanfare and on a small
volume of trading, U. S. Govern
ment bonds continued today to
narrow the gap separating them
from the record high levels estab.
lished last June.
Traders reported the new ad-
vances in treasures ranging to IL
32nds of a point resulted from
further quiet buying by lnstltu-
tional and individual investors in
the face of very limited offerings.
The market gave further evidence
of recovery from the filters expert
enced last month when the Allies
and Germany exchanged hard aer-
ial bombing raids.
Corporate bonds also added some
new gains on balance, although
the main list was mixed. Low yield
liens improved with the govern
ments. Some wide advances in sec.
'ond grade loans appeared to be
based on special developments as
in the case Of several New York
traction issues, believed to be
tight" because of reduced float
ing supply. Rails advanced another
notch in the leisurely upturn which
started last week.
The firmer stock market and
rising hopes for a spring upturn
in general business motivated a
good deal of the selective demand,
brokers reported. Gains ran from
