LIBERTY BONDS SHOULD
SHOW GOOD RECOVERY
BY I. A. FLEMING.

In financial circles the feeling Is
growing that liberty bonds have
reached about the low range and that
better prices may be expected in the
near future.
A number Of causes have contributed
to the steady declines since the pull
ing Of the support peg at SO. on the
fourth loan issue. For time the
Treasury Department stood back Of
this issue to the benefit of all other
issues. Then the support was with
drawn and average losses of nearly
four points have been sustained
The enormous volume Of the fourth
loan. the overpurchase by many persons
and corporations on account OF the ur-
gent need of the money and the handi-
caps which surrounded the campaign,
and with the end OF the war many OF
these purchases were thrown over. not
from lack Of patriotism. but because the
DAD was too heavy.
Moreover, the holiday selling was an
important factor. one OF the chiefest In
opportunity, tho desire and the new
source Of savings.
For some days past conservative
business men have been looking upon
libetry bonds as one OF the tempting
investments in the market; safety as
sured and the rate Of interest an in
ducement, even in these days Of high
money. Some who sold their liberty
bonds at much higher figures are con-
sidering the wisdom of replacing them
at the concessions.
The first evidence Of recuperation
in the various issues was shown yes
terday. It is expected that the large
liquidation by small investors Will end
with the close Of the year. If it has
not been practically completed at this
time.
Some brokers' consider that the Sec
ond as may be treated pit generous
" in the provisions for the nth loan,
although there is no good reason for
looking for this.
Preparations for the fifth loan will
begin right after the holidays, and IN
vestors look for a higher rate OF in
terest as a means of making the loan
go we'll, now that an appeal to win
the war is unnecessary. The outstand-
ing 31aS are available for conversion
into any higher rate issued within six
months of the date Of the higher issue.
