At one time there were few changes in excess of a half-point, and losses and gains were evenly distributed throughout the list. Traders continued to dip only lightly into railroad bond dealings and price maneuvering in this group was indecisive.

Rails fractionaly lower at times today included Baltimore Ohio 6s, New Haven 4s of 2007, Southern Pacific 4 of '81 and Texas New Orleans 3s. Occasionaly higher by small fractions were such rails as Missouri Pacific 5s of '77, Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania general Vis of '65, and Seaboard Air Line income 4s. Moving outside the fractional range were the Louisville Nash ville 2TsS, which dropped more than 2 points at one time, and Nashville, Chattanooga St. Louis 3s, ahead 14- N. Y.
