Answer--Thc bonds and stock YOU
mention are all good, in our opinion.
1T you desire more seasoned issues Of
greater safety you will have to accept a
lower yield. Here are some high grade
bonds which YOU might consider for
part of your capital: st. Paul general
per cent 1889, Rock Island general As
1883, Illinois Central per cent 1858,
Wabash first 5s 1899, Atchison adjust.

Marine Equipments Is, 1925. and the
southwestern Bell Telephone is, though
the others are entitled to good ratings,
There are few we'll secured bonds
which yield as high as 7i9 to per

time to run. However, Denver & Rio

In times like these, when money rates

Inc scale at WnlCn the pTOuuCIlou VI
new goods is going on gives better
key to the situation than almost any
other barometer that can be found, and
1t is here that the great difficulties of
reimbursement are showing up most
strongly. There is little doubt that the
production of textiles and shoes is
proceeding on larger scale than that
of the closing months of last year. At
the same time it is evident that the
present rate Of production is far below
the old normal of pre-war days in
most lines.
The squirt Of buying that obtained
in January. according to broad views
in the trade, was forced more from
purely seasonal demands than by the
In some lines the height of the spring
seasonal demand has passed and a
slight relapse is now apparent.
Against this as a depressing factor
is the fact that retailers and iobbers
have purchased sparingly, holding
down their orders to about sixty days
estimated requirements, and, therefore,
will be in the market for additional
merchandise if the goods already
bought are moved into consumptive
channels without difficulty. The fu-
turc OF the producing end of industry
appears TO rest more with the attitude
of the consumer now than at any time
since the slackening in trade began
early last summer.
The week past was devoid Of strik-
ing Developments in che general situa-
tion. There was slackening in the
primary cotton market, with attendant
sagging prices; fairly we'll sustained
market FOR finished silks, but lag
ging market for the raw fiber; weak
market for raw cotton, but a better
demand for raw wool, woolen goods,
and more movement in shoes, hides
and leather. The apparel markets
seem to be falling back into less sctiv-
ity after period of concentrated
buying of spring merchandise.
Throughout the trade where the ele-
ment Of seasons is strong sharp in
clination on the part OF buyers to or
der goods for delivery only up to April
1 is noticed. The course of trade
after that rests with the reception. the
consumer will give to new spring mer-
chandise.

Likes Good Bends Better Than Stocks

i1tat1 sues 90 you a,, prefer & for purchasers who
mo list OF several flrst mortgage railroad
bonds to yield y to G per cent? Why is
1t that sorle OF the very best railroad

the funds in bond. They were both pur-
chased some years ago at considerably
hlgher prices. Taking into consideration
the present market conditions which OF
the two stocks would you suggest sell
ing ?-S l.. p.
Answer-The best issue of Liberty
bonds for you will depend entirely on
your income taxes. If you are not sub
Ject to the Federal income tax the
fourth AS, due 1888, at about ST. are
probably what you want. Here are some
bonds which fit your specifications:
Illinois Central first 8 u, due 1851, price
q. per cent, yielding 5.S1; Louisyille &
Nashville first 5s, duo 1897, price 9012,
yielding $50; Delaware & Hudson first
and refunding As, due l943, price 7512,
yielding 5.97; Virginia Railway first 5s,
due 1862, price go, yielding 6.39. The
best railroad bonds are largely in the
hands of insurance companies, trustees.
etc, and do not come on to the market
in large quantities. The price, there-
fore. is not forced down, as it has been
with the Liberty bonds. We would
suggest selling the Baltimore & Ohio
preferred rather than the Great North
ern. The Baltimore g. Ohio has some
very difficult financial as we'll as opcr.

The opening of the International Fur
Auction Company's sales in St. Louis
to-day will throw out to the trade an
exceptionally large offering of raw
furs, and is expected to determine the
course of prices for the next few
months. There are several bitches that
appear TO be operating against an easy
flow of merchandise IN the fur trade,
but in the main financial and credit
conditions are in better shape than
they were a month ago. Reports from
the London sales indicated only rela-
lively slight demand for raw furs, and
prices showed general disposition to
sag below the levels paid at the fall
auctions there.
Less IS heard of speculation among
The manufacturing trade has begun
work on fall samples, but these have
elected only small interest among re
tailers, who are more concerned in get
ting rid of present stocks than in ac-
quiring goods to be sold next fall. A
slight movement in summer furs into
the hands of retailers has begun, but
the volume is considerably below that

hered rigidly for some time.
In finished goods consistent demand
obtained for percales. ginghams,
bleached goods and many of the spec

small, individually and the bright tone
of the market is sustained only by the
appearance in the market of large
number of retailers and jobbers. Some
of the buyers who were here earlier
in the season have returned home and
are now sending in recorders by mail
