NEW YORK, August 20.—The week opened with a quiet, but firm, bond market. While trading, both on the exchange and “over the counter, on a small scale, sentiment as to the future was optimistic, and there was a general expectation of better busi- ness after Labor day, There was a fairly good demand for the high-grade utility bonds like Cin. cinnati Gas and Electric bs and 6%s, Ningara Falls power issues and. the telephone bonds generally. Railroad issues, legal investments for mavings banks held their own. Atehison weneral 4s advanced frae- tionally, but there was little change among ' most strictly gilt-edged descriptions. Attention seemed to be turning rather to honds. such as Baltimore and Ohio first fours, where the vield {s from 5 to Gl per cent against the four and half return by ®uch a bond as Union Pacific fours. It was not surprising, therefore. that the new Louisville und Nashville re- funding 5s offered today should meet with such a good reception. Speculative ralls were generally strong. This was notably the case with Seaboard Air Line adjustments and the sixes. The former sold up to thirty and the latter made a frac- tional gain. The Junior Erle bonds also were very strong. the convert- ible D fours selling above 54 and the s and B's ut 52. St Paul issues cre heavy and there was no im- provement in the Minneapolis and St. Louls descriptions. French and Belglan bonds went higher on light dealings. The French municipal and provincial issues im- proved more, relatively. than the di- rhet obligations of the national gov- ernment. But the latter gained frac- tionally. Paris, Lyon, Mediterranean 68 advanced 2 points. Jugoslav Ss main- ained their recent gain Among the tractions. Hudson and Manhattan Incomes were higher in response to the good July earning statement. which showed a surplus after charges. including interest on the adjustment bonds, of $72.468, against $25.427 for the same month a Year ago Third Avenue adjustment touched 53. There was a little run up in Pierce Arrow 8s. but as a rule industrials wers very dull. Libertys were firm to higher. Foreign governments showed slight improvement, notably Mexican 4s and COTTON MARKETS. NEW YORK.

There was also bullish com- ment on the reports of a more active {demand for cotton goods and some trade buying was reported. As a re- sult October contracts &old up to 24.30 and December to 24.17, with active months generally showing net ad- vances of 25 to 29 points.
