The Difference
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-An investiga-
ton has been made of the amount and
price of state securities from 1871 TO the
present time, and some startling conclu.

southern bonds show that the average
price for the forty years is below 90 per
cent, while for the same period the
bonds of the northern states average
above par. 1t is curious coincidence
that the average price for the northwest
ern and New England states is exactly
the same, being little over 100 per cent.
