Nevertheless, there have been
wide expectations Of reaction, and
this for no other reason than con-
ditions within the market itself. If
we date the present rise from Feb
ruary 10 it has continued for
period Of ten weeks, with practical
ly no reaction worth mentioning.
This is a few days longer than that
Of the bull market in the fall Of
1915, before its first reaction. But
it has become evident that the pub
lie has surprised Wall Street again.
1t has been buying the stocks from
Wall Street. Professional people,
looking for reaction, have been
selling stock to the outside public
and borrowing stock to sell. Pro-
fessional people have been mislcd.
Once the public has taken charge Of
the market prediction is pcrilous.
| On Wednesday and Thursday Of last
week stocks declined, through profit
taking. This indicated an unstable
condition within the market. But
on Saturday prices returned with
violent advances. Over Good Fri
day there has been an influx of
good news. The mercantile agen-
cies reported wholesale trade bet
ter than at any time since the ar
mistice. There was perhaps bet
ter prospect of a reconciliation on
steel prices. Most important of all,
our unprecedented export trade,
one of the mainstays Of the present
market, showed no abatement in
the March figures.
A curiosity of the past week was
that the announcement Of the Vic
tory loan issue was followed by an
advance in nearly all bonds-with
the exception of the outstanding
Liberties. These declined without
exception. The advance in other
bonds is easily explained by the
comparatively small amount Of
funds asked for Short term notes,
when they are first subscribed for,
absorb just as much money as bonds
do. But short term notes do not
greatly compete with long term
bonds in point of interest rates
A possible explanation Of the Lib
erty loan decline is that many hold
ers were selling these in order to
place their funds in the new issue.
Under the terms and amount Of
fered there can be no doubt of the
success of the Victory loan. The
terms are the most generous of any
so far offered, both absolutely and
relative to conditions They can
not fall to the discount Of the pres
ent taxable Liberty bonds. If they
should sell as low as "a their yield
would be from Il to 6 q per cent,
for they run for only three to four

years. The provision Of two issues,
one fully tax-exempt, bearing 81
per cent, the other exempt from
normal income tax, bearing a q per
cent, offers pleasant temptation
to all classes Of buyers. The man
with an income subject to normal
tax will receive a yield on his Az
per cent notes equal to more than
5 per cent. If his income exceed
$4,000 he can get out of his 3A
per cent notes the equivalent of 6
per cent from taxable securities, on
the basis of the present income tax
schedule, and so on up, till with an
income of 100000 or over he could
get a return Of 10 per cent or over,
and as high as l 5 per cent for an in

Most important of all influences
bearing on the weeks money mar
ket was, Of course, the announce
ment of terms of the Victory loan.
1t was important for two reasons.
1t revealed that the loan was placed
on a business basis. The amount was
only three-quarters of that looked
for. 1t meant the dissolution of
the bogey that the banks would be
"loaded up" with the notes. They
would be more free to lend than
they had expected to be. The vol
ume Of notes was smaller than the
volume Of certificates Of indebted
ness which the banks already held.
When the public has bought the
notes the government will gradually
begin paying off these certificates
Of indebtedness. Every few weeks
funds will be released from the
banks to seek employment in in
dustry. Rates in the call money
market dropped from their quota
ton Of 6 per cent at the latter part
Of the week before, and at the early
part of last week, to 5 u per cent.

Finance Economics

Copyright 1919, New York Tribune Inc)
At the beginning Of the week the
stock market received the stimulus
Of two items of remarkably good
news. The first Of these was the
liberal terms and the unexpectedly
small amount of the Victory loan,
announced on Monday. The second
was the official statement of Pres
ident Wilson on Tuesday that the
peace terms were so near settle
ment that the Germans had been
invited to sign them on April 25.
The first of these was in itself a
stimulus to a good advance. The
second had been largely but not
entirely discounted. The delay in
the treaty of peace has been every
where complained of as holding up
business, and whatever the real JUS
ticc of this complaint it cannot be
denied that the delay has had a
sentimental influence. Beneath these
two factors remains the more fun
damental condition of our unprece-
dcnted wheat crop. Two influences
which stand in the va arc the
squabble over steel prices and the
lack of knowledge of what is in
store for the railroads. But these
two conditions are grounds only Of
uncertainty, not Of alarm.
