BY GEORGE T. HUGHES, Spectal Dispatch to ‘The Star. NEW YORK, October 31.—Quiet ir- { regularity prevailed in the bond mar- ket today. Except for one or two instances the speculative enthusiasm In the stock market found no counterpart in the dealings in bonds. There was the same sustained demand for high-grade investment securities which has prevailed for more than ten days, with particuiar tnquiry for ylelds of from § to 51z per cent, bonds of the gradg of Mon- tana Power bs. Liberties were a trifle lower early, but the selling was not s0 persistent as on Monday. Con- tinued ease In money, sinking_fund purchases for the ~United States Treasury and buying by the British government will still “support the market for lib ven though the new Congress passes the Lonus Two Special Features. Among the speculative bonds there were two features. One W strength in Seaboard Afir Line adjust- ments, which were traded in in large volume and. #old up to 36, against & high for the year of 36%. No inter- est has been paid on this issue since February 1, 1921, While not a fixed | charge, Interest Is cumuiative at & per cent annually and is payable out of surplus net earnings. It understanding of Wall street that if earnings jusiify it the directors re- gard a payment as required of them, And on recent statements there scems to be no doubt about earnings being adequate. Henec, the active specu- lation, which was shared only slight- 1y _hy thé other Seaboard bonds. The other featurs in the speculative list was the sharp break in Third Avenue adjustment income 55 of 1960. At one time today selling at 31 points below e of & week ago. Other traction issues were heavy. Rails Rather Quiet. There was no very great or industrials. Among the former th St. Paul and the Missouri Pacific is- sues e irregular. Among the la ter there w a slight rally in Market Street railway fist os. Foreign bonds were dull and with- out feature, with prices little changed. In the late alternoon the market showed substantial improvement, though trading was still tively quict Some of the specula- tive ailroads did better, especially the . pr ¥ in svmpat the Northern cific strong.
