j. p. Morgan's phrase, "undigested
securities" has become pretty well
known as expressive Of a surplus of
Trust stocks and bonds on the Wall
street market. But j. ]. Hills express
ion, ..indigestibls securities, is not so
familiar to the public. though it is much
more apt, and. witty in its application,
to the same class of investments, says
the Sacramento Bee. 1t is a good sign
that the people have become a little shy
of buying the dropsical securities OF the
Trusts. Financial digestion is inn
paired by such a watery diet. and it
should be exchanged for something
more solid and substantial.
