STEADY TONE TO
BOND MARKET
Trailing on Moderate Scale
With Demands Evenly
Matched.

NEW YORK. April 1s.-Bonds
noated along steadily in much the
same kind of market as yester-
days. Trading was again on a
moderate scale with demand quite
evenly matched with offerings. The
trend in Liberty's was not pro-
nouncedly one way or the other,
While the fourth AVS showed a net
gain Of almost 20 cents to the 500
bond on the initial transaction and
the third AIS were 1s cents higher
at. the opening, they did not con-
tinue In that direction. but gave
way steadily until they found q
steady trading level just slightly
above the Monday closing level.
The Liberty 3hs on the other hand
declined 20 cents before reaching q
narrow trading area around $3.50.
Foreign Government Issues.
Foreign government issues showed
little activity and their fluctuations
were narrow. Two exceptions were
the Japanese sterling 4s which went
up a half point to 66% and the
United States of Mexico IS which
declined from Az to 47S on q
small volume of, trading. This
movement in Mexican 5s. oddly
enough, came at a time when the
London market was reported as
bidding Mexican securities up on
the strength of a belief in that CEN
ter that the new Mexican govern
ment is about to do something in
conformity with its promise to meet
its foreign obligations. London be-
lieves also that Mexico is to obtain
q fresh loan in the United States.
Apropos of the investment situa-
tion in England local bond men were
intensely interested today in the
London dispatch announcing plans
for the fiotation of 1900. 600 pounds
sterling of short term securities for
the Indian government. The notes
are to bear'a Z per cent rate. issued
at par convertible into a long term
bond at maturity.
Railroad and Industrial bonds on
the New York market were fairly
active and about steady. In a few
special cases fractional declines
were recorded.

Price Trend.
Our best weighted index OF the
trend OF wholesale commodity prices
that Of the Bureau OF Labor stStis-
tics. shows that the average price
OF all commodities during March
was 80 per cent below that for
February and So per cent above that
for the year 1913. This index sc-
cordinEly demonstrates that prices
have fallen IeL4 per cent from the
peak which was reached last May.
when the average stood l72 per cent
above the pre-wAr level. Much dis
parity continues 70 exist as be-
tween the different groups OF COM
modities Of which the index is COM
posed. Thus far that products have
fallen nearly SO per cent within .
year and in March were only IS
per cent above pre-war. while
house furnishing goods have fallen
only 2s per cent and are still l75
per cent higher than in 1913. Build
ing materials have fallen 80 per
cent but are still liz per cent above
the value in the earlier year. OBJ
viously much remains 20 be done in
the way OF levelinE up as between
different classes OF goods. Some
encouragement is offered. however.
to the view that the rate OF decline
in commodity prices is slackeninE.
Thus the fall OF so per cent shown
by the March figure represents a
gradual decline from the maximum
drop OF 81 per cent shown by last
December's return.
