Unprecedented safes vi Government
uOudn

NEW YORK, March Alt ~ stated
that the demand for government
bonds from leading cities II steadily
increasing. Since Monday orders have
been received from Cincinnati amount
ing to $3.50, 900, and equally large sales
have been made TO financial institu.
tons In Cleveland, Chicago and ST.
Louis. Orders from the west are gen.
orally divided into small amounts, and
II is believed chiefly for investment
by persons who have formerly dep0s-
tied ia savings banks. Heavy dealers
In government securities state that in
the last two or three days over one
million OF bonds have been sent TO
Boston, and that correspondents write
drafts upon savings ban rs in that city,
during last week, for reinvestment In
government bonds. Some savings
banks of this city are disposing of part
OF their mortgages to secure more
available assets, Two OF these Institu'
tons invested S26O, 0OO each in govern
ment securities at single bank. This
dealer stated that over ten millions Of
government bonds changed hands last
week in this city alone, an amount UNI
precedented in any single week since
the time Of the placing Of the four per
cent bonds. A letter received yester-
day from prominent st. Louis bank
er stated there was u growing distrust
ofsavings tanks and of real estate ne
curity IN the west. The unusually low
prices OF United States bonds had stim.
ulated the demand principally among
small investors.
