now only yields 5000 TO $500 on the same
class of investment.
This reduction in income is regarded as
a hardship. and the class of investors 1
refer TO rebel against 1t. The only escape
open for them is to get out of their 3 per
cent. and 4 per cent. securities and REIN
vest the money in something not quite so
good, but which promise better returns.
There is an enormous amount Of this kind
of money, and it is going from high-class
bonds and stocks into securities having a
speculative element.
THEREIN is found the explanation of the
underlying buoyancy Of the general mar

Quence We see phenomenal rises IL many
stocks which are decidedly unsafe, If not
foolish can be taught discretion is in the
school of hard experience. and as the bank

are released in this process of shifting

are being in turn absorbed by the very rico
people, by savings banks. insurance COM
panies and trustees, and prices continue
very high. The supply of choice bonds and
stocks appears to be unequal TO the de-
mand, No matter how great the mass may
be at times. The drift OF the interest rate
for permanent investments seems TO be
gradually growing lower"
The foundations of the stock market are
so solid that fluctuations i'm the minor Sc
curities are really of small consequence,
although occupying for the time being tina
largest share of attention. The great in
vesting public is putting fits money into
standard dividend-paying stocks, and Civ
ing no count TO the operations of the people
who speculate on surface indications and
the daily flood of tips that go the rounds.

cation that the new tariff laws will be
framed with a special view to prohibiting
