BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 29.—A gener- ally irm but inactive bond market pre- vailed on the last business day of the year but one. Transactions of today appear on next Tuesday’s statements, 50 that except for sales for cash the in- come tax was not a factor. Curiously enough, most of the cash sales were in Ltberties, although government bonds are not selling very much below the high | of 1922, The general trend in this de- partment today was upward. The St. Paul issues were again the feature among railway honds. All descriptions maintained and improv- ed upon the gains of yesterday. The Puget Sound 4s advanced 2 points on very heavy transactions. One block of 145,000 was sold on the board at 65. New Haven 6s also made a sharp recovery, going up to 70, indicating pretty clearly that the decline of the past week was due more to tax selling than to any un- favorable turn in the road's affalrs. High-grade bonds were firm, but without any large advances. Can- adian Pacific debenture 4s sold on a flat 5 per cent basis again. Baltimore and Ohio 4s advanced fractionally, although this road’s bonds are no longer legal investments in this state. The demand for tax exempt munici- pals was illustrated by the advance in New York city 4%s. "It is also note- worthy that the old Liberty 31:s sold at 101 —_— TODAY’S COTTON PRICES. March Sells Around 26.74, With Other Months Higher. NEW YORK, Dccember 29.—The cot- ton market opened steady at an ad- vance of 3 to 11 points in response to relatively steady cables, and reports of continued firmness in southern spot markets and the domestic mar- kets for cotton goods. The early offerings were absorbed around 26.55 for March and the mar- ket was quiet, but steady later on covering and fresh buying promoted by bulllsh reports from the cotton teady late cables arch was selling from Liverpool. around 26.74 at midd with the gen- eral market about 3 to 5 points net higher. NEW ORLEANS, December 29.— More liquidation appeared in the cot- ton market today, apparently being stimulated by the triple holfdays to follow the close, and prices were eas- ier, practically from the opening. In the first half hour of business the trading positions lost 16 to 21 points, January dropping to 26.18. New buying checked the downward tendency, but the market did not show a marked recovery until after the posting of the weekly statistics. Mill takings of 339,000 bales against 293,000 this week last yeur were in line with bullish expectations and to- ward noon the more actlve months were 1 to 11 points higher than the close of yesterday, with March up to 26.48 and the strongest month en the boards. Noon bids: January. 2 March, 26.38; May, 26.32; July, 26.0: tober, 24287 Steady. WOOL DEMAND SLUMPS. Inventory Delays Purchasing of i New Stocks. BOSTON, December 29.—The Com- mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow: “The demand for wool has been slightly less this week, manufacturers being more concérned with inven- tories than the purchasing of new stock, although dealers have had op- portunities to sell at prices which they would not consider. What busi- ness has been done has been at prices which showed no real weakness in the market. The reports from the go0ds markets also indicate a healty ‘condition of business, although cur- rent_sales have been meager.” — " ] NEWSPRINT OUTPUT JUMPS.
