u. ). Bonds Decline
To An-Time Lows, but
Most Regain Losses
By Arthur Merims
Associoted Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-MoSt in
termediate and long-term United
States Government bonds sank to
|all-time lows early this week, un-
|steadying the corporate bond mar
|ket.
The Treasury's Victory loan
|2las dropped to 95 1892 bid on
Monday, the lowest a Government
bond has traded in recent years.
Bank eligible 21as fell to 95 24i32
bid. And even the new 23ss de-
Iscended to a record low, 80 1882
bid.
The Government list spent the
rest Of the week making up these
losses. Bank-eligible 2Rs closed
Friday at 96 bid, only 4/32 below
the previous week. The new 23ss
ended unchanged at 80 1882 bid.
And Victory 21as actually gained
1882 as net result: concluding
at 95 30/32 bid.
COrpOrates Lose Ground.
In the corporate list, utilities
and industrials lost ground,
though railroads mixed losses with
gains.
Dealers said the reasons for un-
certainty in the Government bond
market are twofold. First, the
Federal Reserve has withdrawn
its support for Treasury bond
prices, except when there is an
opportunity to aid the Treasury
Department in a new flotation.
Such a development was evident
this week when the Government
announced successful" turnover
of 1B per cent certificates for
2h percenters. The Federal Re-
serve purchased about $500 mil
lion worth Of the maturing GER
tificateS in open market to make
certain that too many investors
would not demand cash. Never
theless, holders of 1913 million Of
the sos billion notes did demand
cash.
Uncertainty Explained.
A second cause of uncertainty
is the current demand for bus
mess loans from commercial
banks at this time, which may
influence the banks to raise their
loan rates. Many attending the
American Bankers Association
convention in Atlantic City this
week expressed themselves in IA
vor Of higher loan rates.
japanese bonds scared this week
as the two-month conference to
settle that country's foreign bond
debt ended with a dollar for dol
lar and pound-for- pound agree
ment favorable to United States
and British holders. Great Con-
Solidated Electric Power rs jumped

Production Continues
Heavy and Signposts
Point 10 More OUTPUT
By Richord Fiske
Associuted Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Industry
followed a familiar path of high
production this week and the sign
posts pointed to weeks of heavy
output ahead.
For the moment, the Nations
economy appeared headed up a
one-way street.
Unemployment was close to the
lowest level since the war. The
workers were spending. Business
was borrowing to expand and
make more business.
Savings Still Gaining.
Bank statements continued to
show money was being Salted
money was being spent, too.
A lot Of the spending was on
paper. This was reflected in con-
sumner credit figures, which con-
tinued near the all-time high of
q rev weeks ago.
In the midst of the good busi-
ness and the optimism came words
OF caution. however. Increasing
numbers of economists urged busi-
neSS and industry to prepare now
for the end of defense spending.
II wasn't that they thought de-
f1ationary tendencies were right
around the corner. Quite the con-
trary. While economists urged
foreSightedness toward the day
Government spending SINNERS
down, they also warned of con-
tinued inf1ationary dangers.
Better Business Expected.
Many retailers expected better
business ahead with. the climax a
record Christmas buying.
Dun & Bradstreet, the business
reporting service, said shoppers in
most sections were buying slightly
less than the previous week but
still over a year ago.
It still took easy credit and ex-
tended shopping hours to get the
customers into the stores and ad-
dltional shopkeepers were adding
a night or SO to shopping time.
A continuing trend noted by
Dun g. Bradstreet was the bet
ter year-to-year comparisons in
the business done by suburban
stores than by the large city de-
partment stores.
Prioewise, there were some de-
clines during the week and retail
and wholesale food indexes de-
clined slightly. But there were in
creases, too. For instance. more
radio and TV manufacturers raised
their price tags.
