NEW YORK, December 22.—Rally
ing tendencies continued to hold sway
in late trading in bonds today.
Many corporate issues pushed up for
gains of fractions to more than a
point as recent selling gave way to
increased buying.
United States Treasury issues were
etragglers in the movement, although
. some perked up to show small gains
and a better undertone in the Govern
ment. bond market was noticeable.
Among the late gainers were Alle
ghany Corp. 5s, Baltimore & Ohio
4’js. St. Paul 5s. National Dairy 3%s,
Southern Railway 4s and Youngstown
Sheet & Tube 31 js.

AFTERHESITAHCV
Shows ^More Vi£ During"
November, Accoi lg to
Hamilton Institute.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 22.—Build
in 7 activity, after some hesitation dur
ing September and October in extend
ing Its upward movement, showed
more vigor in November, according to
the Alexander Hamilton Institute.
While contracts awarded were below
the October volume, the decrease was
much less than the usual seasonal
amount. This year, the decrease
amounted to only 3.6 per cent,
whereas the average decrease during
the past 11 years was 12.9 per cent.
The decline in total contract* from
October to November was entirely the
result of a drop in residential con
tracts. Nop - residential contracts
showed a slight increase.
As compared with the volume In
November last year, both residential
and non-residential contracts were
much larger this year, the former
showing an increase of 63.1 per cent
and the latter an increase of 25.1 per
cent.
Total contracts in November were
44.5 per cent larger than a year ago
while, for the first 11 months, the in
crease over last year amounted to 70.7
per cent.
It is now apparent that 1936 will
represent the biggest building year
since 1930, although contracts will be
less than half the volume at the pre
depression peak in 1928.
