BOND BUSINESS BEST IN DECADE
DESPITE FOREIGN LIQUIDAT1oN
Rapid Transit Resolution to Go to Councils fhrsd..
Vanderlip Said to Have Refused Chairmansbin Y
of New Cambria Mercer

! The revival OF ectivity in the bond mar
ket has been hailed with enthusiasm by
| the investment houses Even the most
sanguinc bond brokers have been sur
priscd by the developments in their de-
partment during the last fortnight. Deal
ings since the beginning of the year have
been the heaviest in decade, showing
that the supply of idle funds is still very
great The big influx of gold from
abroad taken together with the more
flexible banking system and the enor-
nous profits acquired by the industrial
companies. has been the chief influence
TO bring about this change.
To be sure, sales of foreign-owned
American securities are still being stead
lily made, but the demand continues
greater than the supply, surprising
as that may seem, and this selling
exchange situation quite independently of
the British Governments so-callcd mobli-
zation plan. Deposits of securities are
being freely made tthrough the Bank of
England, but il Is not the intention Of
the British Government to sell the issues
thus acquired in any way that will de-
press quotations. It. Is understood that
the scheme Is to utilize the purchases as
collateral for loans and thus control
sterling exchange All these factors, cou-
pied with the apparent certainty that
money Is going to remain easy for some
time yet. render the outlook for the bond
market decidedly encouraging.
There was brisk dealing in bonds on
the local exchange today. Welsbach 5s

Pennsylvania Company iias and the two

trading In Lehigh Navigation i'5s.
Stimulated by the fine report of earn
ings published after the close ycster-
day, Rapid Transit moved up fractionally
and so did Union Traction. The operating
ratio of the system in December was 55.92

G. 0. P. TOUR FlZzLES
Meetings Scheduled Last Night Fail
to Draw Any Crowds.

The grand tour of the g. o. p.
county candidates arranged for last
night proved a fzzie. After care
full preparations for the event had
been made, a number Of the best
OF the party's local spell-binders,
collected, and everything was APP
parently in readiness, the campaign
managers found that the thing that
was needed most of all to make the
tour a great success, namely crowds
at the various speaking places, was
lacking.
1t had been the plans Of the man>
ayers to have their candidates and
to have speeches and big rallies in
general. The first meeting place was
at a building at Studebaker and
Laporte av. Thence the party was
to proceed to sol S. Chaplin St.
where +. Miholich was to make a
talk and on to the Franklin school
where Floyd Jellison and Andrew
J. Hickey Of Laporte were TO APP
pear. But the poor crowd at the
first meeting threw a damper or
enthusiasm OF the stage managers
and they hurriedly decided TO have
one big rally at the headquarters.
About $50 henchmen were finally
dragged together and treated to a
number of talks by various candi-
dates and speakers.
