United States War Bonds.

The liberty and victory bond market
continues to show Improvement. In
vestors seem to have come to reaIi-
cation that liberty loan and victory
loan bonds are legal for investment
by savings banks and life insurance
companies in all states, and are ac-
cepted by the Treasury Department
as collateral to secure postal savings
deposits. The New York state super
intendent of insurance has ruled that
life insurance companies may carry
liberty loan bonds at par, and there
fore these companies can record a
profit on bonds bought below par
which makes the issues selling at the
lowest prices especially attractive for
these companies.
The interest return on some of the
government war issues is now at
tracing the general investing public
as well as investment corporations.

LOCAL EXCHANGE
|. HAS DULL SESSION
Doubtful Traction Situation
One Explanation Of In
activity of investors.
INCOMES ARE cURTAILED

Another dull session was registered
on the Washington Stock Exchange
today. No particular Importance is
to be attached to this. The reasons
are obvious.
A large percentage of purchases on
the local exchange are for invest
ment, and investment in those local
securities generally most active is
not apt to become vigorous until the
traction situation clears.
Another reason for the dullness is
that income of those persons who or
dinarily invest their surplus earnings
has been curtailed by heavy income
taxes and the high cost of living.
At the regular session of the Stock
Exchange today only one trade was
made, that being the change in own
ership of $1,000 in Capital Traction
SIS at 94A.
After call two five-share lots of
Lanston changed hands at 73. A
