steel products and Bonds

The full effects of the open market for

volume of orders held in allegiance has reached

consumer TO consider the advisabiity OF be-
ginning to buy in anticipation of the broad
demand that is sure 10 develop later on. Bust-
ness in other lines Is gradually improving, as
underlying conditions unusually sound.
The public is still heavily interested in the
bond market. Sustained inquiry in this direc
tion is one OF the best features of the present
financial situation. The breadth of this de-
mand has been only partially reflected by the
the record OF that market for February showed
sales 100 per cent greater than the total for
the same month of 1905. Most OF the buying
has come from institutions which have found
the investment returns from high grade bonds
more attractive than the rates afforded in the
money market We believe that the railroads
will have no difficulty in financing their re-
quirements for the next quarter, and that
there will be ready absorption Of all desirable
