Healthy Investment Demand

There probably has not been tint
IN several months when greater de
mand was in evidence for high grade
investment securities than at the mo.
ment, this extending throughout the
entire list, including ali classes. from
the short term notes to the longest ma
turlty bonds. Investment houses state
that the inquiry for bonds, notes, etc,
is coming from all sections of the coun
try. indicating that the absorptive de-
mand of the public is of most sizablC
proportion.
This. naturally, is a cash business
and removes securities from the street
and is market factor of the greatest
significance because it means that the
fioating supply is gradually being re-
in other than q boosting of quotations
to higher levels with consequent re
duction in interest returns to the in
vestor.
The. large investment houses are
strongly urging the purchase of bonds
at present prices. as they feel that
within a comparatively short time prices
VIII have moved up to much higher
level and advantages which are now in
evidence will not longer obtain.
WORE topper SutS
There is possibility that another
price war might be precipitated as a re
suit of the action of one of the large
copper selling agencies which repre-
sscnts some of the big producers in tax
ing spot business as low as thirteen
cents per pound during the last week
Certainly it is the intention of other
sellers to at least meet the quotation OF
this interest, and one or two dealers
might even make further concessions
in the opinion of some of the best trade
authorities.
1t is difficult to understand the mo
tive behind the lntest move by the one
large selling agency that made the sud =
den shift in selling attitude. especially
IT, view Of the fact that there wer.
81 gns of increasing interest on the part
of domestic consumers and foreign users
Inquiries had been in the market, and
although smaller quantities were asked
for. it was felt that a lull would be
but natural after the moderate buying
squirt of week or so ago.
Just what the outcome Of this new
condition will be is problematical. II
Is certain, however, that all the sellers
will go after business with n greater
energy than in the past. and this will
probably result in some irregularity as
to prices, as on similar occasions in the
past there have been some wide diff
ferences in the quotations which have
been made public.
One development has been that the
sellers are not anxious to give definite
quotations for publication at the pres
cnt time.

that anticipated was not justified and
light receipts was the principal reason
for the higher prices, commission men
stated.
1t was estimated that there were be-
tween 1000 and 5000 hogs held of the
market today due to the dark forecast
OF yesterday.
Receipts for the day Appropriated
5000 fresh hogs.
Practically all grades were effected by
the rise in prices.
Trade on the cattle market was fairly

all of the 800 fresh cattle on the market
were sold.
With close to 800 calves on the market,
prices were practically steady with the
opening of the Friday market, with a
top Of s14.50, a few odd sales at SIS, and
the bulk of the choice calves at $13Q14.
Good calves generally brought S12013,
while with little demand mediums

There were hardly enough sheep and
lambs on the market to make a market.
Receipts were close to 100 and prices
were steady, with sheep at $1@4, and
