The main factors making for liqui-
dation were, first, the fotation Of the
government loan, bearing 81 per
cent interest, accompanied by the
certainty Of a drastic increase in
taxation, which, it was feared by
some, might seriously handicap in
dustrial concerns; second, the belief
that an important REIMBURSEMENT of
business to conform with war condi-
tons is imminent; and, third, un-
certainty as to what will happen in
Russia.
OF these, the first was the most
important marketwise, in its imme-
date effects, because the combina-
ton of heavy taxes and high return
on the government bonds induced
many investors to exchange corpora
ton securities, particularly railroad
stocks, for the government loan. OPP
erations Of that character overshad-
owed other developments, and il
seems likely that they will continue
as an important market factor for a
time. There is little fear, however
that liquidation will proceed very
far. Prices have already fallen to a
point where there is less temptation
to effect the exchange Of securities.
That perhaps accounts for the fact
that at the close of the week the sell
ing of investment issues was in
smaller volume.
