nothing could be done in the way OF

Eastern Capital
Turning to the South


Atlanta. June eastern cap
ital is turning more and more to
the south as a field for conserva-
tive investment, according to
William Hurd Hillyer. who has
just returned from an extended
trip through larger northern cit
les. Mr.. Hillyer's business
brought him in contact with a
number of leading bankers in
New York, Boston and Philadel-
phia. and he expressed himself
as very much pleased with the
attitude assumed by fnancialmen
toward southern investments at
this time. S.6
1.-The prevailing tone of pes
simism of Wall Street and other
financial sections does not seem
to extend to southern properties. +"
said Mr.. Hillyer. ''The assump-
ton is that fundamental condi-
tons are somehow better in the
south, owing to the strategic po-
sitions of this section as regards
raw material and the labor prob
lem. The unusually good be-
havior of southern securities on
the New York Exchange during
recent prolonged depression as

ted in southern mortgage loans
The recent violent fluctuations
and continued uncertainty in the
stock and bond market has caus
ed investors to turn with grea
favor to the consideration of rea

mortgages, safety, and other fac
tors being considered, is attract
ing more attention in Eastern
financial circles than at any pre-
vious time. Ishould not be sur
prised to see a great deal OF
