Broad Market in Treasury Paper

A free and open market in Treasury
certificates has developed here, and has
removed the overhanging threat of un-
digested holdings. Within the last
six weeks it is estimated that $780,
100000 to S15O,000,0OO of Treasury
bills have been dealt in over the
counter. The effect of the broadening
of the market has been to raise the
selling price of the issues. Some
months ago outstanding bills were sell
ing to yield as high as 61k per cent
Now, despite the increase in the rate
on the face Of the new bills, the yield
in the open market is lower. The new
issues are selling above their offering
price. The six months bills maturing
on January 3 next, which were put out
to yield 5A per cent, are now selling
on 51s to SIS per cent basis. And the
one-year per cent issue are selling at
a slight premium, reducing the yield
to 1892 per cent. The Treasury this
week will offer six month and eight
month bills at 5A per cent, and hopes
to raise S200,000,00O. During the war
the policy of the Treasury was to dis
courage the sale Of the temporary GER
tifcates in the open market below par,
and this policy persisted until early
this year.

Reaction Greater Than Expected

The reaction which took place yes
terday in the stock market was greater
tEan had been expected by that part
of the brokerage community which has
been counseiling its clients to take the
constructive side of the market. 1t
was evident from the sound of the
opening gong that there were many
people who were desirous of converting
their paper profits into real money, and
traders, noting the trend of sentiment,
added further to the downward move
ment by selling stocks short. One of
the disconcerting factors the overnight
report was that the steel in
dustry may be forced to shut down
because of the freight car scarcity
Steel men denied that such move was
contemplated, although it was admitted
tFat in certain localities suspension of
operations may be put into effect for
a time because Of warehouse conges-
ticn.

The rate held all day at per cent.
1t was enormously reported from the
floor of the Stock Exchange Just be-

the rate had dropped to 7 per cent

REVIEW OFWORK
STATE HIGHWAYS

A brief review Of. the work of the
state highway department of Nevada
during the construction season Of 1919
made by c. c. Cottrell, state engineer.
shows the following as having been
accomplished:
A total Of twenty one contracts
were let during the year calling for
the construction of the following
classes:
Four reinforced concrete bridges,
81 miles of graded earth road, SO
miles of gravel road and 6H miles of
concrete road.
In addition to the above contract
was let for the furnishing of $4,000
tons of crushed rock and $4,000 bar
rels of cement, both for state highway
construction i'll Washoe County.
The total estimated cost Of the
road contracts as above outlined is
| 1911 ,444.58 The additional cost of
the crushed rock and cement will
bring the total value of contracts let
up to $l,Ol6,794.58.
The concrete pavement laid near
Reno is the first concrete pavement
ever laid i'll Nevada outside of the
small amount which has been pre-
viously laid by the city OF Reno. The
section between Reno and Moana
Springs road has been opened to the
public and the public is enjoying
their first initial spin on Nevada's
first boulevard.
The past season has seen the first
work done in this state under the
federal aid road act. Under this act
there has been allotted to the state
of Nevada the following amounts:
Fiscal year 1916, 1854, 3983O; fiscal
year 1917, $128796.6O; fiscal year 1918,
