Quiet Selling Lowers
Corpordfes in. Week;
Treasures Also Dip
By the A.soeio,sd pr.ss

NEW YORK, Aug. 49,. Quiet
selling depressed the corporate
bond market this week. Utilities
and carriers were the major tar
gets.
Price declines generally were
moderate, however. Volume con-
tinued small, reaching q high Of
only $3.355.000 par value at mid
week.
The thinness Of the market
was apparent on several occa-
sions. Sale Of a single Console
dated Gas Of Baltimore 3A per
cent bond was enough to drop
the price 81a points to 1888.
Houston Light q Power 3As
jumped II points to 2l5 on the
exchange Of a block of seven
bonds. Scott Paper 3s slid 81a
to 155A on a single day.
Most American Telephone is
sues ran into selling late In the
week. In many cases, however,
part Of the lost ground was re-
covered in subsequent trading.
Industrial issues were fairly
steady. Foreign liens advanced,
with selected German and Bra
lillian issues making progress.
Japanese issues were quiet and
for the most part price changes
were narrow.
Treasury bonds again were
lover. The 30-year 3As dropped
1882 during the week to close
at III 2/32 bid, and the Victory
Loan 2Rs were down 4/32 at
100 1882 bid.
