Nine States Sell Bonus Bonds TO
Help World War Veterans.

The extent to which war bonuses
and other aid to veterans of the world
war are increasing State debts is re-
vealed in the fact that In nine states

Favorable Factors Ignored.

The stock market has seemed unwill-
ing all Of this month to pay attention
to certain favorable features of the
Industrial situation. Potential buyers Of
stocks for investment or long pull
speculation have been more impressed
by unsettling features of business read
justment than by incipient signs of
betterment. and 1t Is probable that short
sales have had more effect on prices
than they would have ordinarily because
they have been interspersed with con-
siderable sales by holders OF securities
who needed cash. But all that will
pass. The steel trade shows signs of
equilibrium as to prices and reports of
declining warehouse stocks forecast an
expansion Of orders at the mills a little
later The shoe business is active and
textile lines are by no means in the
dumps that they were In three months

eral issues generally classed as spe-
cialties indicated that little support ap-
peared. Continental Can succumbed to
rather sudden squirt of sales, receding

only momentary effect because the bank
will pay out in this district $60,0oo.000
on account of maturing United States
Treasury certificates and for the coun-
try about s157.0o0.000. In other words,
taking the country as whole the banks
will receive s1.25 for every dollar of de-
posits withdrawn. In fact after the con-
clusion of the operation call money Is
