Steady, U. 5.
Bonds Mixed.
BY WARREN BENNETT
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 23.-Cor-
porate bonds milled Intellectually
this week in some of the sparsest
trading of the year.
Industrial eased but utilities
and foreign dollar liens gained
slight fractions, while rails and
investment quality issues were
steady. The net result was a
stand-off with the index un-
changed for the week.
Government bonds were mixed
with strength mainly in inter-
mediates and bills. Trading was
light, however. and the market
so thin light supply of buy
or sell orders moved it easily one
way or the other.
For the week, over-the-counte,
dealers had the 2Has of 1868 ur
1882 at 95 1892 bid. The Vic
tory 2las of December, 1972-67
spurted 1892 to 81 1892. The
30-year 3l4s and the 40-year IS
Iretreated 2f32 to SO 1882 anc
81 6/32, respectively.
At these prices the 21as Of
1868 yield $50 per cent, the
l"vics" 3.l9 per cent, the 3As
l3.27 per cent and the IS return
3.25 per cent.
This weeks sale of 91-day
Treasury bills went at an average
yield of 3.041 per cent. This
was marked drop from the
1928 per cent yield of the pre-
vious week.
