The bank’s long-term 3s dropped to 101 16-32 at one time for a loss of 14-32 of a point but finished at 101 26-32, or down only 4-32. At the initial public offering in mid July, this issue sold at 103. The short-term, 2 l-4s down) 10-32 of a point for a while, closed with a gain of 1-32 at 100 26-32. This compared with mid-July quotation of 102. Dealers reported that only moderate offerings of the bank's bonds were sufficient to depress prices. Buying interest in the is sues has waned recently, they said, which was immediately reflected in today's comparatively large, although temporary declines. Quick Fronts' They suggested that today’s of ferings may have come in part from so-called “free-riders", or investors who purchased the bonds initially at par in the hope of a quick profit. In the corporate division most railroad issues were trimmed a bit although a few here and there managed to swing to the plus side. Changes either way were mainly fractional. Closing lower were American Telephone 3s at 113 3-4, Santa Fe 4s at 126 3-4, B & 0 Stamped 1st mortgage at 94 1-4 (down 1 3-4), Central Pacific 1st 4s at 103 7-8, Rock Island convertibles at 15 1-8, Lehigh Valley stamped 4s at 35, N.

COTTON NEW YORK COTTON NEW YORK, Aug. 26— m—Cot ton futures were firm today in moderately active dealings, sup ported by mill and local buying which found offerings limited. Fi nal prices were 30 cents to $1.15 a bale higher. Replacement demand was at tracted on the belief that the mar ket had been oversold during the past week on rain reports in the Western cotton belt. The govern ment. weekly weather report was slightly unfavorable and imparted a late firmness to the market. Leading spot firms hedged cot ton actively, but mostly on the scale up, while liquidation in near by October was also well absorbed. Dealers reported mills were still not buying spot cotton aggressive ly, as they prefer to await the sup ply prospects to be indicated in the Sept. 8 government cotton crop forecast.
