sented the price bid by the Massachu
setts bond buyers for a block of 1500,
000 of Broadway bridge bonds, with
accrued interest to date. The bid of
the Shawmut bank was S913.40 per
thousand, which is considered to have
been a very good one in view of the
condition of the stock market when the
bids were opened more than a month
ago.

Thorndyke and Dodge, conceded to be

The effect of yesterday's transfer of

expected that the next sale of these
bonds will command keen competition
and the price may rise to 95 or more.
