his or her part. Extravaganza must
stop; waste likewise; non-essentia1
work must be postponed. and lux
uries curtailed. Economy and con-
servation Of all necessities must be
worldwide in order that the whole
man-power of the Allies can be uti1-
lied to crush the machinery and sptr-
1t of militarism which planned eand
perpetrated this terrific crime.
The advancing tendency in interest
rates Is plainly reflected in the per-
sistent fall Of security values. The
shrinkage Of many Of these to far be-
low intrinsic values, when measured
by former standards, must be attrf-
buted mainly to the huge mass Of gov
eminent obligations forced upon the
market by war finance. Meanwhi1e
private corporations cannot compete
with the government in bidding for
capital. This is the one pre-eminent
cause of the wave Of liquidation
which started with the first Liberty
Loan. The decline in the price of the
latter, though small, is significant; for
with the growing demand of govern
ments all over the world for money in
vast sums, higher rates were ineyf-
table. Short date funds are relatively
abundant and cheap. This weeks
payment on the Liberty Loan was
carried through almost without any
noticeable effect. AS for the future of
the market, predictions are useless in
times of such great uncertainty. The
selling pressure has materially lessen
ed with more confident feeling on
the buying side, and it is worthy OF
note that prices show heAlthy recover
les after every slump. For the actual
investor there are many positive bar
gains, whether prices go lower or not,
and it is known that there has been
strong buying of the best class Of in
dustrial and railroad shares.
