BONDS ARE IRREGULAR
Spirit of Pessimism Is Offset by Au-
thorities' Opinions

NEW YORK. Aug. 12.--The bond market
generally speaking was irregular during
the week, with further shading and new low
prices in some issues, while rallies occurred
in others.
Business for the most part was light, as
was the case last week. partly on account
of the vacation season and the sultry
weather. but there were intervals of activity
in special Issues.
The larger dealings were in the semi.
investment lines and this class also showed
the principal improvements in prices
In some quarters n spirit of pessmism
was expressed on the belief that bonds
would be liquIdated on every opportunity.
These views were not shared by some of
the principal bond authorities, who believe
that, although the market may show some
irregularity II securities are forced for
sale. the outlook for the longer pull is
encouraging. They point out in support of
optimistic investment expectations that an
enormous amount of money has been made
in this country in the last two years and
that the tendency is for operators who have
been successful in the stock market to
invest their money in bonds

FOREIGN EXCHANGE DULL
Few Changes During Week-Estimate
Amount of New British Loan

The market for foreign exchange In the
week just closed continued most OF the
time in the rut of extreme apathy that had
prevailed in the last half OF the previous
week. on several days there was abso-
lutely no variation in quotations between
the opening and closing markets At the
very end fractional, irregular changes were
in the main to be noted.
Italian exchange at the outset shaded
a couple of points, but afterward strength.
ened on the military successes of the italian
forces. On the other hand, sterling was
virtually unaltered from the final OF the
previous week. rubles were about points
lower and francs declined to 5,92 for checks,
the lowest figure In about two months.
This last weakness was unexplained ex-
cept as possibly due to increased purchases
by the French Government Of war muni-
tlons and supplies
Further consignments OF American secur'
tiles were received either for sale In this
market or in preparation for the expected
new collateral loan to the British Govern
ment and bankers. It was stated that
preparations had progressed TO the point
where an announcement might be made
any day Some authorities, however ex-
press the opinion that the loan may not
be issued for another month.
The amount OF the issue is variously esti-
mated in the neighborhood of s2OO,O 600.
The loan will be made. II is understood.

rowed by the British Government

not yet up 90 capacity.
Authorities are optimistic on the out-
look, stating that the present indications
are for large orders as n result OF the re-
newed orders for munitions in this country
and the inceasedr domestic demand. Some
officials of the companies say that dun
period at present would be welcome, SO that
they could catch up on the orders and not
run ahead Of the average raw supplies, but
immediate let up.
Trading on the Philadelphia Stock Ex.

was little Of interest attached TO the mar

cupied most of the attention. Kennecott

BANKS GAIN ON GOLD
Unusual Increase in Money Movement
but for Reserve Bank Operations

NEW YORK, Aug. lz.-In the compla'
ton of the known movements of money pub
lished on Friday attention was called to
the fact that the gold imports of the week
of Sl4,00O,000 were not credited. The
S9,O0O,OOO or thereabouts, brought in from
Canada and deposited in the Assay office
on Friday would figure for only one day,
but the $1,000, 900 imported earlier in the
week should assure a favorable cash show
ing today. On the directly traceable move
ments OF cash, leaving out the gold, the
banks lost about Sl,oOO,O0O. But for the
operations on the New York Federal Re-
serve Bank, today's clearing house state
ment would show one of Ahe largest gains
I'm money in q single week recorded recently.
