Scramble for Bond Issues.

There has not been such competition
for gilt edged issues I'm the bond mar
ket since long before the war. and 1t
has brought about very active rivalry
among banks and investment houses
which handle such issues for every new
one which bobs UP. The Danish loan
was one example. and another Is the
100000 of fifteen earsdebentures TO
be issued by the Diamond Match Com
pany. The successful bidders obtained
that issue only after the strongest sort
of competition. The bond market itself
is booming along at rapid rate. in
most cases establishing new highs daily.
As a dealer declared yesterday. the bond
market is no longer an arm chair af-
fair but a lively scramble. comparable
to the stock market OF last fall. For
eign selling, which has been heavy for
considerable time and which rather
dulled the edge of the market. has re-
