vious Levels With In
terest Tagging

NEW YORK, March "a - B -
The bond market held close to
previous levels today in the light
est dealings since Aug. 26. 1910.
Investment interest has been at
a low ebb recently because of
concern over domestic and inter.
national business news. An adj
ditional factor contributing to to-
days low turnover, financial cir
cles said, may have been a re-
luctance to make commitments
until investors have seen the re.
.ception accorded the American
Telephone offering tomorrow Of
5000, 900, 900 of debuntures.
Railroad issues, which broke a
long losing streak last week,
showed an upward tendency early
in the session, but most backed
down a bit later in the day.
Among carriers retaining i'm
provement were Chicago & East

souri, Pacific and New York Cen
