wolves a considerable amount of tedi- ous arithmetic but fortunately seldom needs to be gone through with, as use can be made Of the various print ed tables of bond values. A typical bond value table gives in convenient
 form the price at which a bond with a certain coupon rate and a certain
 number of years left to run should sell to yield a certain percentage so
 that with either yield or price given,
 the other can be easily determined. The tables customarily give yields and
 prices at intervals of 6 months and for
 all ordinary purposes the investor will get sufficient accurate results by us ing the figures for the nearest half year, except perhaps in the case of short durations. The use of the ta- | bles can perhaps best be understood 1 by inspecting the following section ot 1 a page of one such table:

Suppose it is desired to determine at what price a 1-2 bond maturing
 in ' 1-2 years should bep urchased to yield 6.20 per cent Turning to the page headed 1-2 years in this parti- cular table, from which the section of a page shown above is taken, and following the 4 1-2 per cent column
 downward until opposite 6.20 in the yield column we find there are cor responding price of S9.925S as the price to give 6.20 yield. If, on the other hand, the problem had been
 to determine the yield of a 4 1-2 per cent. bond maturing in Y 1-2 years was bought at s9 7-s i. e., 39.s750) we would find by following the 4 1-2
 per cent column that this price lay
 between S9.925S corresponding to a 6.20 yield and s9.6481 corresponding
 to a 625 yield so that evidently the yield is between those limits. By in- 1 tterpolation between the two limits, 1 the yield is found to be about 6. 21 per cent.
 The objection is sometimes raised that the average bond buyer purchas- ! ing a bond of more or less distant maturity has no intention of holding ] it until maturity and is therefore, not | interested in the yield as shown by a bond table but merely in the cash in come. That this is an incorrect at l titude to take is readily seen when l it is considered that if the bond con l tinues to sell on the same yield basis | its price will rise steadily (assuming g 1 that it is selling below par) as ma turity approaches. For example, a 6 per cent. bond purchased IS years
 before maturity on per cent. yield
 basis would cost 90.so. If the yield
 remained the same the price would
 rise in the next five years to 92.s9
 and in the five years following. that
 ito 95.s4.
 Consciously or unconsciously the in-
 vestor recognizes that yield as we'll as coupon rate interests him when he I invests funds which he desires to ] keep liquid in short term obligations 1 to avoid much change in price. The reason that short term paper I is likely to maintain relatively l steady price is because a relatively
 wide variation in yield is accompan-
 fed by but a comparatively small fluc- l tuation in price. Thus, one year be- fore maturity a variation in yield of I a 6 per cent bond from a T to . ' 1 1-2 per cent. basis would change the l price only from 9e.o50 or $4.7o per | $1,00o bond.
