eAse since the Victory Loan campaign

are being appealed to on an important
scale, These bonds are payable In gold
IN New York as we'll as in Toronto and
London, and 1t is expected that con-
Siderable amount will be sold in the

The indications thus are that for the
present the rate OF return to investors
on the new bonds of high class Eastern
cities will be s per cent. or a little
higher, while the bonds offered by West
ern municipalities, will likely give a
somewhat better yield. The market is
in good shape, allowing. Of course, for
the peculiar situation that has been
created by the stabilizing Of the price
and the restriction upon trading in the
Victory Loan of 1917. 1t is understood
that the price of the new victories"
will be similarly artifcially maintained.
Thus Canada will have something like
