NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—Bond trad ers devoted their attention to new offerings today and left the bulk of listed issues drift fractions to more than a point lower. Syndicates heading the new $98, 500,000 New York Triborough Bridge Authority revenue bonds and $16, 000,000 Southwestern Gas & Electric bonds reported strong demand for both. The two issues were reported at a premium over the offering price in over-the-counter dealings as the session neared the final hour. In the listed market, however, most issues crawled to fractionally lower levels. Chiefly affected were such bonds as Erie 5s of ’75, Studebaker 6s, Southern Railway 4s, Nickel Plate 4iis, Alleghany’ stamped 5s of '50 and Bethlehem Steel 3'is. Colorado & Southern 4'is strode against the ebbing price tide with a gain of around a point. Rock Island .general 4s of '88 moved up narrowly in brisk dealings. Widest mover in the foreign dollar list was Helsingfors 6'is with a 7'i point gain, but only one bond changed hands. Latin American loans were again favored, Sao Paulo stamped 8s of '50 adding around a point and Uruguay 37Rs as much. A handful of Federal loans ap peared on the tape at unchanged to sligntly improved prices. Inventories Rise Sharply in 1939 Last Half By the Associated Press. Edward J. Noble, Undersecretary of Commerce, estimated today that American manufacturing concerns stocked up $1,000,000,000 additional inventories in the last half of 1939. He said the presence of these huge stocks was slackening new manu facturing in the early part of 1940. His estimate was based on ques tionnaires sent to several hundred manufacturers. Industrial production, Mr. Noble 6aid, started expanding last sum mer and spurted sensationally after the outbreak of the European war. But by December newr orders had fallen 10 per cent below deliveries on old orders, and with inventories growing it became necessary to slacken output. The estimates, based only on manufacturers' stocks and not those of wholesalers or retailers, showed that for 1939 as a whole inventories increased about 7y2 per cent. A small decline in the first six months was more than offset by a 9 per cent increase in the latter half of the year. 825 Tons of Lead Sold NEW YORK, Feb. 14 UP).—St. Joseph Lead Co. reported 200 tons of Southeast Missouri pig lead sold yesterday at $4.85 per 100 pounds East St. Louis, 475 tons at $5.05 New York, and 150 tons at the New York average.

Traders in gray goods regarded the Government's January cotton consump tion figures as rather high, although offset considerably by the fact that daily con sumption was about 2.300 bales under the rate in December. Business in rayon eray goods was quiet at steady prices Pigment taffetas and all-ravon prints moved in fair volume and converters expect a brisk demand with the approach of the Easter season Continued irregularity in the price for rawr silk is complicating business in silk fabrics.
