Bond Market Steady
In Week s Tradinq:;
Frisco Issues Jump
By D. A. WiIlioms
Assoeiased Press FinoneiuI Writer

NEW YORK. Oct. 6.-With the
exception of a strong forward
thrust by bond of the st. Louis
San Francisco Railway Co., there
was little change in today's bond
market, the first on a Saturday
since last spring.
The general run Of corporates
held within small fractions either
way of previous levels and there
was no definite direction apparent
in most groups. Sales were ST.
800 900.
Frisco 41as bolted ahead for
an initial gain of around five
points but later settled back a
trifie to end at SO. up four points
on sale of $593,00O par value
bonds. The issue has been in
demand since a strong upward
movement in stock of New Mexico
Arizona Land Co.. controlled by
Frisco.
The downward movement in
Government bonds was halted
abruptly this week and corporate
issues for the most part edged
upwards in active trading.
Japanese bonds were on the up
side, on mild demand with the
tempo of trading increasing in the
latter part of the week. Gains for
the l3 issues listed ranged from a
point for the Great Consolidated
Electric Power 612s to 6 points for
the Great Consolidated Electric
Power Is. Tokyo City 51as and
Japan 51as each gained 4 points
or more.
The Government bonds firmed
on Tuesday after having turned
in one of their poorest showings
in recent weeks on Monday when
losses ran up to 1892 of a point.
Mondays losses climaxed a de-
cline that began about the first of
last month.
With the upward trend con-
tinuing throughout the rest of
the week IS of Is issues turned in
net gains for the week ranging
from 1882 to 1892 Of a point, the
top gamer being the long-term
bank eligible gas of September,
1972-67. Five issues dropped 1882
to b32 and five others closed un-
changed for the week.
Another heavy list Of new Sc
IcuritieS which reached the market
met with a favorable reception in
"a continuation of the trend of the
past few weeks.

Defense Output Gain!
In Week as Civilian

By Riehord Fiske
Assoeioted Press Business Writer

NEW YORK. Oct. 6.-Defense
production increased its rapid
pace this week but business in
civilian lines was disappointing.
Key industrial and financial
figures showed business and in
dustry whipping along at record
or near record heights.
But it was chiefly defense work
that held these figures at high
levels. Civilian goods business
was better than it has been but
1t was not up to expectations.
The National Association of
Purchasing Agents-the men who
buy industry's supplies-noted "a
decided upswing in defense Or
ders and production"
But. they added, much of our
civilian production capacity ap-

present defense requirements, and

Jewish tradition recalls that the
shofar was heard at Mount Sinai
when the Israelites received the
Decalogue exodus 1910. AS the
Jew listens to the shofar on Rosh
Hashonah, he is reminded of the
turning point in the spiritual life
of his ancestors. In the service on
the holy day there is reaffirma-
ton of the eternal validity of that
revelation at the desert mount for
the present and for the future.
Shofar Will Herald Arrival
of Messiah
The shofar is a reminder of the
belief in resurrection, for Jewish
tradition teaches that the arrival
of the Messiah will be heralded
by the tones of the shofar. In this
connection, it is interesting to
note that the shofar has been
carved on Jewish tombstones
from ancient times. This practice
is no doubt symbolic of the hope
in resurrection. Just as the blow
ing of the shofar is symbolic of
the resurrection of the dead, the
blowing of taps at the graves of
fallen heroes may have been in
spired by Hebrew tradition.
The Shofar tones serve as re-
minders of the prophets and their
message who pictured the reunion
of 1sraeps children as being ush-
cred in by the sounding of the
rams horn. ''It comes to pass in
that day, that a great shofar shall
be blown; and they that were lost
:. and they that were dispersed
-. shall worship the Lord in the
holy mountain of Jerusalem Qsa-
iah 27:13.)

The shofar blasts during the serv-
ices are thus listened to as the
announcement Of the Divine
Kingship. In ancient times the
shofar was used to proclaim the
coronation of a king and in full
fillment of this custom, the shofar
tones on Rosh Hashonah acclaim
God as ruler Of His universe.
