Stlllman, head manager, these bonds would have gone for 4.30 a few months ago, and the advance is attributed entirely to the stringency caused by the 'Frisco disaster. '".VltMn the past few months," said Mr. Stlllman, "the netting in the bond market has advanced an avetage of about 20 points, the same being due te the enormotu amount f money n ed by the Insurance companies Id meeting their losses." f Pendleton Bonds Good.
