SPEARE, Bpeeial Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK. October 20. -Moderate price movement on onlv a small volume of transactions represented the bond market today. The activity was dustrial convertible Anaconda mainly on the in- issues which were Copper 7s rose 2 Barnsdall 6s, 2, and Andes Cop- 1 point Public Service of New Jersey 4!,s. which went up yesterdav from 147 to 152. were back to abou 150 after an early advance. Pate Tose a point to a new high for tt movement States Rubber 5s were each up !,. Cuba Cane Sugar issues were stronger. with some improvement iz the general list of sugar securities. As the transactions were so smail, the fractional declines recorded in a num- ber of high-grade rails and public utili- ties had no special significance. The market for these issues is a narrow one and prices are influenced quite sharply by trades in $5.000 and $10.000 amounts. In the foreign list the strongest issues were the Peruvian 6s and 7s, the latter gaining nearly a point. Japanese bonds were hizher and Fiat s rose a point Great interest was taken in the ne: that some concrete effort was abou o be made to settle the reparations ouestion on a basis that will permit of further economic progress in Europe. s Washington Stock Exchange SAL Barber & Ross 61,5—$500 at 93!, Capital Traction Co.—10 at 105. 10 at 105, 18 at 105. 5 at 1051, 10 at 10515, Chestnut Farms Dairy pid.—10 at 10874, 5 at 10814, 15 A% 109.
