Traders Are In Mood To Re
duce Commitments In
Speculative Loans

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-LR-Bonds
slipped fairly sharply today after
ten days or more of steady improve
ment.
Traders We're in a mood to reduce
commitments in speculative loans,
which had been leaders of the up
turn, because of uncertainty over
new elements recently injected into
the troubled world situation.
Special interest was manifested
in the announcement from Wash
ington that a British spokesman
had Informed the administration that
Great Britain could make no new
commitments in this country for war
supplies unless it received financial
assistance.
Although the retreat was broad
some analysts were disposed to re-
gard it as a normal turabout after
a considerable advance. Profit-sell-
ing was a factor from the start and
in the later dealings support dwind-
led throughout the list.
