New Funds Will Be Costly
To Roads, Bankers Say
Proposed Law Deemed More
Helpful to Old Issues
Thar, IN Novx


Bankers yesterday expressed the view
chat tho terms Of the new railroad
bill were more helpful TO outstanding
rail securities than to proposed new
financing. At the Stock Exchange there
was more activity in railroad stocks
yesterday than on any previous day
for several years, and increased buy
ing was reported in the bond market.
Rail stocks moved upward and bonds
also were firm. The latter buying was
mainly by dealers in anticipation OF
q public demand.
investment bankers expect the rail
roads to come into the market for
funds soon after the return of the
roads to private ownership. They do
not believe it will be possible for the
roads to float any substantial issues
o. stocks unit. their position under
the rev regime is better established.
The equipment needs of the roads are
estimated as high as $4,000 900 900, and
bankers predict that the cost Of funds
TO the roads will be hign. One im-
portant railroad banker said that the
roads would probably have to pay In
excess of per cent for short time a.
comm odations. and that financing on
she scale needed will be extremely diff
ficult until individuals Of large means
begin to purchase taxable securities
again. They urge a revision Of the in
come tax laws in order that the status
Of the investment market may be i'm
proved.
