ment which has brought demands for
good bonds even in excess Of the sup
ply. This is the other side to the pic
ture of a possible speculative epoch;
for good railroad bonds are about as
conservative an investment as can be
found. The fact that there is such an
interest at this time, Immediately fol-
lowing the fiotation of the gilt-edged
and conservative investment that was
offered in the allies joint loan Of
s500,O00,O00, is impressive as testi-
mony to the truly stupendous invest
ment power of the country.
More than this, it contains promise
that in the next year or two long
list of railroad financial reorganiza-
tions, affecting systems that have fall
en- into receiverships during the time
of depression. will be affected under
most suspicious circumstances. This
is accounted one of the most crafty
ing aspects of the present national
financial situation.

Tobacco Prices Good.

The tobacco growers have good
crops, and are getting good prices; re-
tailers are paying their accounts to
the wholesalers, and manufacturers re-
feet the improved conditions by larger
activities. But the holding back of
cotton. and also the greatly increased
demand for automobiles in the cotton
country, are pointed to as evidences
that the lessons Of care and thrift
which were impressed during the cot
ton crisis of last year, have not re-
manned very long with those who
learned them.
The mid-Western corn country has
suffered this year because a wet
season made corn late, and the frost
injured immense amounts of it, This
soft corn must be fed to stock, which
means that farmers must buy unusual
numbers of feeding stock. The small
er banks are lending this money, and
are found to be much less flush with
cash than the city institutions, which
are still long on cash. 1t is found that
wheat, oats, rye, and grains generally
are being held back by the farmers, in

Curious Contrasts Seen.

The big banks in the cities common
ly finance the buying of this grain, and
at this season are commonly loaned
to lose margin because of it. This

l.O.s in--0~1 OF borrowers, because
they have been unable as yet to get
hold of the grain.
A summary of the business reports
for the whole country, as laid before
the reserve board, shows some curious
contrasts with conditions year ago.
At that time the food-producing states
were on the crest of prosDerity's wave,
rushing their products TO market and
crying for railroad capacity to handle
their grain Cotton would not move
at all. The industrial sections we're
generally in very depressed condi-

this. They are confirmed by other re-
