Leading Bonds Drift
Lower
In Drowsy Trading
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Bonds
moved irregularly lower today in
drowsy trading. but only a hand
full of issues posted changes Of as
much as a point or more.
Sales for the short session to-
tailed 100000. compared with $2.-
100000 two Saturdays ago. The
bond market was closed last Sat-
urday on Lincoln's Birthday.
Today's small turnover brought
total sales for the week to $14.-
365. .900-the lowest figure for a
six-day session in years.
New York. Susquehanna &
Western refunding IS sagged ~
to 40 today. New York Central
4as eased 12s to STA. Baltimore
& Ohio B" SIS were of the same
amount to 8912. Down a point
were Third Avenue adjustment IS
and West Shore As.
Others in the minus column:
Chicago & North Western 41as,
Lehigh Valley Terminal IS, some
Lehigh Valley Railroad liens and
New Haven income 4las.
Illinois Central 434s gained Il
to 80. International Great North
ern first IS were up 2s at SO. New

climbed 70 to 90b.
Others up fractions included
Rock Island income 41as, Milwau-
kee is, Penn Central Airlines 312s
and Reynolds Tobacco IS.
United States Governments. as
is customary on Saturdays, were
not traded.
Foreign Issues Higher.
Foreign bonds were mostly a
little higher. with Brazilians and
Norwegians making the best show
ing. Brazil 334s, series 81, gained
534 points on the sale Of five
bonds. =.
Because the weeks listless trad
ing offered little to perk up Wall
Streets interest, attention was
shifted to more diverting develop
ments in new financing.
A feature Of new financing this
week was a sharp decline in the
total Of unsold corporate bonds
still in dealers hands. It was esti-
mated that the aggregate Of $780,
100000 still unsold last week was
cut by more than so per cent this
week.
When Consolidated Edison of
New York's $50.0O0,000 Of new
bonds failed to sell after three
weeks on the market. the under
writer's ended their agreement
Thursday, throwing the liens into
a free market. The free market
price discount speeded up the sale,
the bonds being quoted at one
time at 102 bid. 1924 asked. Un-
official sales at times, however,
were made at prices ranging down
to 1925. to yield about 2.92, COM
pared to the 2.88 per cent obtain
