 The prediction is ventured that this form of investment will continue to grow in ia. vor because of the greater security and larger earning power demanded by invest men houses and their clients upon inactive issues.
 The further statement is made that sales of active bonds have been upon a relative iy small scale for some time past, and that so far as active issues are concerned, the tn- purchases are being deferred until after the quiet period which inevitably precedes national election, notwithstanding the soundness of the underlying business con ditions throughout the country. compared with the average for the same season of past years.

 The demand for short-time notes is also reported by this firm as being exceptionally good.
 It is generally recognized that if the col lateral securing these notes were offered for sale under ordinary conditions sales would not be upon so liberal basis of income yield and 1t Is therefore not surprising that investors should be quick to avail Of the opportunity thus offered to secure a safe and profitable short-time investment
