Inere are, however, other movements
under way the importance Of which
caonae % gagged until it II seen how
long and to what extent they continue.
1t Is apparent that a great change has
come over the public mind with respect
to prices; whereas last fall and winter
purchasers of goods bought regardless
OF price, they now watch values closely.
and whereas certain stores q few
months ago advertised articles for sale
without even mentioning the price,
they are now advertising substantial
price reductions.
"A number Of factors conspire to
bring about price reductions in this
district. The general credit situation
makes 1t increasingly expensive to
carry goods and has obliged some
spectators to put their goods on the
market. Railway congestion, espe-
cially in its early stages, caused the
sale locally of goods manufactured on
order for distant points but impos-
sible of delivery; and in its later
stages, when the railroads began to
catch up on their shipments, some
goods came through to New York in
more than usual volume. A third
factor in inducing q decline In prices,
notably to the textile trades, is that
production in some instances has
ovcrtaken demand. Thus on the one
hand there has been at least the be-
ginning Of falling of Of demand. and
on the other hand Of an increased sup

Ill. 8. O.
Answer-It always has been our
opinion that the purchase Of any
foreign bond is attended by an element
Of risk. Political situations are likely
20 arise which would cause the bonds
Of country to change in character, to
say nothing Of the economic conditions.
1t Is our belief that the Japanese bonds
are safe enough, but we do not regard
them as high grade, because subject to
speculative developments. There are
various junior lien bonds of the rail-
roads which offer unusually attractive
Investment opportunities, in our
.rinion. Among them are Denver &
Rio Grande s per cent, 1928; Colorado
Southern AZ per cent, 1895; Rock
