BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, May 24.—New York City tractions were the feature of to- @ay’s bond market, ‘practically all is- sues being taken in large blocks at ad- vancing prices. The announcement over the week end of the purchase by the Fifth Avenue Coach Co. of control of the New York Railway Cor- poration stimulated buying of the whole traction list. New York Railway Income 6s, which had closed at 34 on Saturday, ran up above 85. Third Avenue Re. funding 4s advanced almost a point and Interboro Refunding s, stamped and unstamped, were both strong. In- vestmetn interest, however, centered in Brooklya and Manhattan 6s. One Dblock of $129,000 par value changed hands at 97, a record high for all time, after which a fractional gain was re- corded. There was also some buying of Hudson and Manhattan Incomes and of Manhattan Rallway 4s. Elsewhera it was the higher vleld- | ing _securities which were the ‘most | active. Ofl bonds were prominent in | the trading. n American Petroleum | bs and Skelly Ofl 614s were the lead- ers. ously and the Skelly Oil issue k pace with the stoc Sinclair obli tlons were well supported.

The fact that this is the last week for trading,in May contracts and that all accounts in the current month must be finally settled by next Saturday noon led to considerable fresh evening- up transactions today on the part of speculators who have been sellers of | May wheat. Another bullish factor was the recent advance in French, lelglan and Italian exchange, equal- ing 15 1o 18 cents a bushel for wheat, a circumstance likely to increase for- elgn demand. Nervousness over the big difference between May and Ju'y wheat valu induced assertions in some quartel that price adjustment would not be confined to one side of the market | contended that July wheat especially would also be affect- ed in view of further decreases in the TOBACCO ThADE DROPS.
