BONDS CLOSELY HELD.

Bond brokers report a scarcity OF first class
issues that be bought at prices holders
showing disposition to sell, while offerings when
made, quickly absorbed. Four per cent bonds
that are yielding per in big supply
and when issues such as the Central Pacific AZ
which are selling at fraction under par. Of
fered buyers are only too willing take them. In
regard to the Central Pacific first refunding gold
mortgage per cent bonds it is interesting to note
that in comparison with Union Pacific As and
Northern Pacific As both of which represent reor-
ganzed properties, the Central Pacific As are
cheaper marketwise although just as valuable in
trinsicaly. If Union Pacific As are worth 1O4 Cen
trail Pacific is are worth much. and It Is easy to
see that the time will come when the last named
will sell better than 104. OF the Central Pacific 35s
S45OO,O0O have been about be cancelled
and of the As the syndicate headed by Speyer &
Co. has placed all of these bonds that will be
placed this year and next year in the hands of
people who buy only first class Investments The
Government, it may be recalled holds s44 109 537 of
the bonds collateral for per cent notes under
the adjustment and settlement of the Governments
relations with the road, and by the terms of the
agreement as the per cent are paid an
equivalent amount of the bonds will be returned to
the company. Earnings of the Central Pacific are
enormous, and the earning power of the company
Will increase as long the country's tendency of
business expansion continues. In the poorest of
years Central Pacific will earn its charges Backed
by the Southern Pacific, which controls the road
the Central Pacific bonds offer a safe field for in
Vestment capital. The bonds were active features
in yesterdays market.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

Stock market trading made up in great
part of the transactions Of a few boardroom
traders in a limited number of securities Ihe
total volume of business extremely light,
and price changes, while generally in favor OF
higher quotations, were unimportant. favora-
BILE bank statement had no marked effect upon
sentiment or values the market closing. as 1t
opened nfeless and without feature. Sugar Re-
fning and other industrial stock operations re-
fected the closing of contracts over Sunday,
while the light transactions in the railroad list
represented similar dealings. Current dulness in
stocks forces the suggestion that the Stock
Exchange could dispense with the two hours
of business on Saturday without injury to the
interests of the financial and investment COM
rnUnity. The weekly statement of the Associated
Banks showed as foreshadowed in this column
yesterday, a substantial increase in cash and
surplus holdings and a further expansion in
loans and deposits Increased liabilities, how
ever. did not make heavy demands upon reserve
required, and in consequence large part of the
gain in cash shown in surplus above legal
requirements
A healthful trade readjustment is in progress.
and pending the establishment Of new basis
and the completion of the present transition
period stock speculation is quite likely to remain
In it's current lifeless condition. While stock
market traders bearish almost to a man, it
further declines in values and a pancky market
later in the based upon health
full business reaction and politics. rather than
upon radical weakness in the business and
financial situation. 1t should be borne in
mind that, while the market is not partcu-
larry attractive for bull operations at the
moment, the conditions governing bull specula
tion are In evidence and give every promise Of
permanency. Crop reports are. a whole, good.
Railroad earnings continue heavy, significant
fact in view of the enormous traffic receipts at
this time last year; money is growing easy the
world over and business reaction is not accom-
panied by business disturbance. 1t may be that
the slow and orderly change in the industrial
activities Of the country steps that will lead
to a resumption of business larger scale
after the fall election The stock market is
waiting. and in the absence of public buying
traders may force lower prices. but declines
brought about by the boardroom traders
not likely to frighten investors out Of their
securities. A sustained bull market is not in
view Just now. but securities will not become
worthless
The usual weekly table of price changes for the
more active stocks follows:

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONDITIONS.

An authority on the foreign exchange market
says:
Since the 18th inst: demand sterling which then
stood at 4SS, gradually declined to 4sT5s64 S7% the
present ruling figure. Continental exchange re-
mained unchanged during all that time while
sixty day sterling bills, advancing about 1-32
per cent during the first three days OF the week
lost this advance again during the last few days
Just what produced the weakness in short sterling
it would be difficult to say. since the private dis
count rate in London shows but trifiing decline
since last week. True, the official rate of discount
of the Bank of England reduced to 315 per cent
on Thursday, but had been anticipated for the last
ten days On Friday the Bank of France fol-
lowed suit by reducing its official to per cent
The weeks supply of commercial bills was the
smallest of the year. while stocks and bonds were
not bought to any extent for European account
during the week. The fact that the supply of
exchange was not up to requirements again led to
shipment of 81 l2500G0 gold by the French steamer
and brings our total shipments for the season to
0.400,000 Notwithstanding low money mar
ket IL would hardly pay any buy and hold
exchange for the difference of interest between ours
and the European markets Exchange is on the
whole, too high and the chances of profit there
fore too small TO render the operation attractive
