NEW YORK BONDS
TO SELL EASILY
Comptroller Metz Predicts
Large DISSATISFACTION
of Issue Friday.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12-Herman A.
Metz, comptroller Of the city of New
York, has issued a statement in which
he expresses the opinion that the $50
0O0.0O0 bond issue which he will make
next Friday Will be oversu bscribed,
despite the fact that II Is the largest
that the city has ever put on the
market
The bond issue is made necessary by
the coHtractura1 and land liabilities Of
the city, which amount to about S65,-
10000 Should the issue prove TO be sue
Cessful the comptroller does not antici-
pate that il viii be necessary to sell
any more bonds until next autumn. By
that time he hopes that the financial
markets VIII have undergone q read
justment and that II will be possible 20
return 10 the per cent basis. On such
a basis he believes that city bonds viii
prove unusually attractive TO conserva-
tive investors.
Comptroller Metz has prepared a bill
which Will be introduced in the Legis-
lature providing that corporate stock
and city bonds OF every description shall
be exempt from taxation for all pur-
poses, which includes State purposes.
He believes that the euaC tment Of such
a Inv will enhance the values of city Sc
Curities in such measure that many
financial institutions, trust funds, and
estates which have heretofore avoided
municipal bonds on general principles,
Will be attracted by the new securities.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Traders vel
coined the respite from business cares
and worries, oCCasioncd by the ObsCTv-

the day furnished no respite from the

Of the feelings Of disgust that profes-

various phases and possibilities.
There is a deep dread on the part Of
traders and investors of being further
