DECIDED RETIREMENT
IN BASIC CONDITIONS
Public Taking Few Speculative Risks.
Purchases Confined to High
Grade Stocks and Bonds.
Bond Issues

Harris. winthrop & Co. of New York report
the following:
People are less alarmed over politics. and the
railroads altogether having hard time are
re ducng expenses wherever It is possible 10
make such economies accord with the falling
off in net earnings. While these developments
by no means eliminate all uncertainties from
the situation, they indicate decided better
ment in basic conditions, which is naturally
re effected in the higher security prices.
The public is taking few speculative risks
of any kind. Its purchases thus far nave peen
chiefly confined to high grade stocks and
bonds There has been very little distribution
Of the highly speculative shares and the testi-
mcny of bankers generally is that there Is al
most no market for the sort OF securities thht
carry very high investment return, tose.ner
with n very great speculative risk. The public
is more exacting today that II has been any
time since the rich mans panic OF 1903. IL
looks for safety first of all. This means
great deal for the security OF the SITUATION. IL
shows that the market is not exposed to specu-
lative excuses of former years. While there
has been some buying of the low priced copper
stocks 1t has been generally connheu 10 THOSE
Of the better grade. and with possibly one or
two exceptions has not led to the apsorption
of any considerable volume OF really worthless
urites.
The leading banking houses will bring out
new bond issues as it is possible 10
float them The situation at the moment Is
rot proptious for such offerings, and with the
exception of the Union Pacific bond issue,
which may reach $50, 600 900, no new Rotations
have been even authorized In this connection
the situation this year is very unlike that OF
one year ago, when the railroads mad issued
s2s5, 600 900 in short term notes by the opening
of March as against total issues this year. IN
GLIDING the proposed fotation by the Erie or
scarcely S25, 900, co., 1t is impossible, however,
TO say when the great pending rotations OF
new bonds can be made, as that depends on
the condition of the market and the state Of
public sentiment with reference to long term
Investments.
There is nothing in the monetary situation
"a afford the slightest uneasiness, and II may
lie that the efforts of the large banks to keep
most of their surplus funds employed In call
loans will make per cent the average call
rate during most of the year.
