NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-RAIs-
sues of the New Haven, Missouri
Pacific, and a few other railway
systems took the play in a narrow
ly steady bond market today.
Only moderate support was
enough to lift favored loans frac-
tons to an outside of around 2
points. Most changes, though,
were measured in fractions.
The carrier group as a whole
showed little if any reaction to
news from Chicago that an arbi.
tcation board had awarded a wage
increase of Is IL cents an hour to
nearly 1000, 900 incorporating rail.
way employees.
Drawing more attention in in
vestment quarters were treasury
offering of notes carrying a higher
than usual interest rate and initial
sale by veterans of their terminal
leave bonds.
The treasury offering consisted
OF 81, 1874, 600, 900 of II IL month
notes yielding a shade under l
per cent on an annual basis. SINH
lar maturities in the past have
yielded 7-8 of one per cent.
Ex-GIs cashea in their terminal
bonds at a fast rate in most areas
and it was expected that redemp-
tons would eventually total more
than $1,000, 900, 900 out of an out
