Treasury Bonds Dip
Again During Week;
Corpo;afes Also Ease
By Walter Bussewitz
As,oeio,.d Pres, FinoneiuI Writer

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-Gov-
ernment bonds gave ground
again this week as investors
awaited the development Of a
clearer pattern Of interest rates.
Corporates eased a trifie.
Two bond issues totaling S183
million which had been sched-
uled 10 be offered to finance
two Texas toll roads failed to
reach the market. Their status
was UP in the air as the week
ended, according TO underwriting
circles.
The Treasury's new long-term
IS firmed on Friday to close at
100 8f32 bid, off 6f32 from last
week. The 30-year 3l4s lost
1892 during the week at 106 2l32
bid. The, bank eligible 21as of
1967-72 fell 1882 at 96 1882
bid, and the Victory Loan 212s
were down 1882 at SO 1882 bid.
Bond men generally have
adopted o wait and see" atti-
tude since the recent Treasury
financing. They have been talk
ing much Of the probability Of
higher interest rates in the near
future.
Concern over prospect Of q
higher cost of borrowing was
heightened when the Bank Of
England raised the discount rate
to Az per cent. the second raise
of the rate within a month. The
United States rate is now l " per
cent. The last change was made
in April, 1854, when it was re-
duced from IA per cent to the
present level.
Investment-quality industrials
and utilities took their que from
the Treasury list and were the
weakest performers among the
corporates. Convertible obliga-
tions went down with the stock
market, and rails were generally
firm.
There was q mixture of gains
and losses in the foreign list.
