congestion unless grain should begin soon
to move In much larger volume than up

But a great number OF persons who

banks, one OF the motives influencing
them being the desire 10 select and con-

hope OF seeing an appreciation In their

dividends. II is the recognition of this
widespread sentiment among small cap

consistent with safety Of the principal
and the prospect Of satisfactory en-

larger banking houses for a consider

issuing standard bonds In small denom-

such issues, one or two houses now
making a speciality Of creating and sup
plying the demand for 500 bonds.
