A LOOK AT THE BOND
MARKET ENCOURAGING
Indications that Low Level of Prices
of Gilt-edged Securities Has
Passed.

Copyright. 1913, by c. NJ Keys. New York;
\ few weeks ago a dealer in bonds de-
termined to take a rest. For six months
nothing encouraging had happened to him
and he had watched with interest, but
without enthusiasm. first a long decline
| in the prices of all the standard securi-
ties to which he had pinned his faith,
and after that period Of several months
duration, during which, while these good
old bonds did not decline any further,
they simply dragged along the bottom.
1t was very tired looking market and
it wore the dealer down, so that he was
quite ready to go away and take a rest.
He paid practically no attention to busi-
ness while he was gone.
When he came back after less than
three weeks rest his first glance at the
bond market did not seem TO reveal very
much change, and the clerks in his Of
fee told him that while there had been
more buying orders than selling orders in
the office during his absence, there was
not very much of a bond market. II
was four or five days, in fact, before he
discovered that a very real change had
taken place during his absence.
He found il out as he began to look
up one standard bond after another to
make recommendations to his customers.
In the obligations of big cities like New
York, for instance, he found that there
had been a gradual creeping up Of prices,
dollar at a time, so that he had to
pay SIS to $50 bond more than he would
have had to pay a month before In
few of the very good railroad bonds,
which had been such a drug on the mar
ket through the early summer. he found
the same condition prevailing. OF course,
he had observed that the speculative is
sues, which usually fiuctuate more or
less with the stock market, had ad-
vanced in prices quickly during the early
part of August.
When he went away there was a big
class of short-term notes of the railroads
and strong companies which flooded the
market and which were offered to yield
very high rate. He discovered when he
began to make inquiries about these that
he could not find any of them at 6 per
cent, or more, except those which were
not strictly gilt edge. It was this dis
covery that set him seriously to work to
find out whether there had been radi-
cal change in underlying conditions or
not; for as a rule a general creeping ad-
vance OF this sort. even when II is very
small, Is based on underlying conditions
rather than on any purely professional

operations in the market.
His inquiry led him to the belief that
financial settlement of the Balkan trou-
bic was the beginning Of better prices in
bonds. Then he discovered that the
sharp little advance took place about the
same time that the government reports
indicated partial failure of the corn crop
in the West. Putting two and two to-
gether he came TO the conclusion that
the underlying factor in the advance OF
Of prices had been a feeling of relief on
the part of banks and other money-hold-
ing institutions over the question OF fur
ther drain on the money market Not
only had there been an end Of the great
waste all over the world, but there was
also a feeling that as the result OF the
corn crop less money will be needed for
temporary purposes in the fail. and there
will probably also be a let up in business
throughout a good part Of the West.
which will release a lot Of money now
tied up in commercial enterprises.
or course, there are other causes. A
little bit of common sense shows that the
prices of the early part Of the summer
were so far below normal prices for the
best of our securities that they were
more likely TO go up than to so down,
even if conditions had continued unfa-
vorable. A great many Of the most
scientific investors IN the Worid were IN
the market in June and July and took
away from the market several million
dollars worth OF high-grade bonds. This
helped to relieve the situation by clean
ing up floating supplies and absorbing all
the frightened selling that took place
during those months.
The signs are. then, favorable for the
rest of the year. so far as bonds are con-
cerned. 1t looks as though there was
going TO be enough money to go around
during the period of heavy strain. which
begins in September and lasts through
to the end of the year. The best of the
foreign critics have thought that there
would be great difficulty in November.
They now believe that it will not be
nearly as bad as they had anticipated.
and that the banks Of the world are
pretty well ready to meet it. Therefore.
both the experts in the bond business
themselves and the sensible critics who
watch these affairs most closely have
come to the conclusion that in all prOba-
bility We have seen the lowest level Of
prices in gilt-edge securities that We
shall see in some time to come, and that
the high-grade market is safer for the
investors today than it has been in q
long time past
