THE TEACHERS WILL WAIT.
Their Money Cannot be Secured
Until Court Acts.

After all the fuss that has been made
in Atlanta over :the payment of the
public school teachers it now APP
pears the teachers will not, at best,
get Their money until after June 10Th.
Governor Gambler has, upon investiga-
ton. discovered that he cannot
borrow $4,000 or any .other
amount to pay the teachers now
because it cannot be shown that a
casual deficiency" exists, and it will
not he shown until after the supreme
court decides the case growing out OF
the refusal of the state treasurer TO
use the public property fund. IT the
supreme court decides with the state
treasurer, then there will be a casual
deficiency, but if it does not then
there will be none. The constitution
only permits the governor to borrow
to meet a casual deficiency, so that in
any event the teachers will have to
wait until after June lst for their
money.

BRITISH BONDS IN WALL STREET.
Great Britain Wants to Place a $780,
100000 Loan in This Country.

Great Britain wants to place part
of her new loan of $500, 600 in this
country. j. Pierpont Morgan, who is
now in Europe, has issued a circular
in'New York asking for subscriptions
to the loan to the amount of $l5O.O0O.-

They bear interest at the rate of q
per cent. for two years and ,! there

1923.
1t is doubtful if there will be a rush
for the bonds in this country. It has
not been so very long since Great
Britain placed a loan of $4,000. 600
here, and when the investors got their
checks they found that the British
government had deducted the income
tax OF per cent Some of them at
once disposed of their bonds. They
found that Great Britain had acted in
bad faith, because she had not said
that she would deduct the income tax
when she offered the bonds.

In this connection 1t is interesting to
note some of the prices now prevailing
on local securities IN comparison with
those in last September. Another table
on this page shows the wonderful adj
vances that have been made In New York
stock market securities since September

locally. Capital Traction bonds sold SIX
months ago ar 107-1Os. Yesterday their
price was 1910, the bid of 100 being a
new one Washington Traction bonds
were not listed in September, but their
price has had no net advance since that
time. Metropolitan Railroad fives have
declined from 120 IL bid to 119. The Met
ropoiitan certificates of Indebtedness have
advanced slightly. the IS five points and
the BIS one point-this In the bid price,
but their asking price is no higher. Co.
lumbia Railroad sizes have advanced
only from IL to l24 bid, and the second

bid price. The 8 per cent gas bonds,
which should be considered a pretty good
investment, are now quoted at 10 bid,
while in last September the bid was Ill

There has been a slight Improvement In
