Investment Market Flat

The investment market, so far as
new issues go, is rather fat. Quiet
prevailed in the bond houses yester-
day Bond men do not look for much
change for week or so and admit they
are glad of the lull, as it gives the
market chance to digest the mass of
new offerings recently placed. Two or
three bond Issues closed by the bank
ers will not be offered until the mar
ket shows definite sings of improve
ment, In the railway bond market the
track is being kept clear for the big
issue of Burlington bonds that is ex-
pected to come along shortly.

lating oil development work in certain
