By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 28.—The bond market, Wall Street analysts be- lieve, will steer through numerous shoals during the next two months. These include Treasury financing, presentation of the budget, bonus agi- tation, congressional monetary pro- posals and gold imports. “In view of the huge reserve posi- tion and the fact that these develop- ments_largely offset each other, the market should not be more than tem- porarily disturbed,” Moody's Bond Survey says. Huge Sum May Be Needed. Bankers think that the Treasury financing may result in a call for sev- eral hundred millions in new cash. Opinion in most circles, however, is that even if the cash issue should run well in excess of $500,000,000 the market would take it without flinch-~ ing. As for the arrival of the budget on the bond market horizon, sentiment in financial quarters leans toward the hope that announcement of the ex- pense program might carry with it indications of an attempt to approach a balgnce within the next two or three €ars, Although many financial observers feel that agitation for the bonus will result in some payment, there are few signs of alarm on this score among bond men. The monetary proposals which are law firm, Church & Church; his law | Clarence B. Des Jardines and Halbert | expected to turn up with the open- ing of Congress will temporarily leave bond market sentiment uneasy, as some see it. Influx to Help Prices. The Italo-Ethiopian dispute and the unsettled French financial position, on the other hand, are counted on by bankers to push additional gold to the United States for some months et. . This influx of gold, it is held, will continue to hoist bank reserves and through this process add to the al- ready enormous pile of excess idle capital in search of work. Bond market analysts insist that this large fund of bank reserves should provide support to the prices of low- yield obligations and in this way help to stiffen the market's back in the event of passing disturbances.
