FINANCIAL REvIEW

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The pinch of hard times for the small investor was clearly visible in todays heavy stock exchange transactions in liberty bonds and victory notes all issues of which, with one exception, sold at new low records.
 Of the days total transactions in bonds, amounting to almost $31, 1,000,000 government issues constituted an over whelming proportion.
 The great decline in the selling prices, which amounted to from 56 to 150 points below yesterdays closing fig ures, was attributed by brokers to the fear of holders of new tax legislation, a disposition by corporations and wealthy individuals to sell in big blocks, and difficulty experienced by the individual in need of ready cash in obtaining loans from the banks.
 All the liberty bonds except the 3 F s, which are tax exempt and the victory 4%s. which duplicated their recent minimum, suffered falls in price rang ing from one tenth to one and one-half per cent, with feeble rallies at the close of the session.
 Today's losses represent the culmi- nation of a progressive decline eX- tended over the period since Jan. 1, during which the value of the govern ment securities has decreased in amounts ranging from S5 to ST on each S100
