SELLING OUR BONDS.

I There appears to be some differ
ence of opinion in the city hall re-
garding the proper course to pursue
in issuing bonds voted to improve the
water plant. 1t maj 20 well to take
into consideration, in reaching a con-
clusion, that Kansas municipa1s are in
considerable demand in eastern mar
kets.
Since midsummer there has been a
decided improvement in the market
for municipal bonds. 'Municipals,"
as they are termed in the securities
market, include not only city bonds,
but also the bonds of townships, coun-
ties and states, besides towns and viii
lagos, road districts and drainage dis
tricts. These are generally held in
higher esteem than they were several
months ago.
Illustrating the trend of the market
the Manufacturers Record cites the
following instances:
In July, Cumberland, Nd, offered
for sale an issue of $250,000 of 5 per
cent bonds, and it is stated the best
offer that could then be obtained for
them from any OF the DOnQ-DuylnR
firms was So, and they were with
drawn. In October they were again
offered and were disposed of at some
thing better than 81, the purchasers
being a syndicate of Baltimore bank
ers. Charlotte, N. c.. also lately sold
100000 of 5 II per cent bonds on a
5.43 per cent basis, and Durham. in
the same state, disposed of $4,000 of
5h per cent bonds on about a SAT
per cent basis.
Municipal bonds are largely pur-
chased by investors of-the class who
buy heavily, not so much by the small
er investors. Insurance companies,
savings banks. big estates, and wealthy
individuals find them attractive be-
cause OF their tax exemption features.
An issue of Topeka 5 II bonds at
this time probably could be marketed
readily in the east at par if sold di-
rect. If local dealers handle them
they of course will want a commission.
If the city plan to market these bonds
as the money is needed, probably the
whole issue would be absorbed by local
investors. as has been the case with
paving bonds.
A Topeka 5k bond would almost
certainly sell at a premium long be-
fore it fell due.
