Current Demand for Cotton
Goods Leads to Firmer Prices
Bank Sees Continued
Fall in Prices

We have made the transition from
the long era Of rising prices from
1888 to 1890 to a period Of falling
prices, in the opinion of the Cleve-
land Trust Company, Cleveland,
Ohio, in its business bulletin issued
to-day. This is reflected in the
business situation, according to the
bank.
When prices turn downward.
says the bulletin, "and continue to
tail the tendency is to get rid of
every possible surplus item of stock
on hand, for the material is shrink
ing In value and can always be re-
placed for less than it cost. While
this transition is taking place in
dustry stagnates, unemployment il
general and business is bad because
every one wants to sell aud nobody
wants to buy.
such a situation eventually cor
reefs itself because people use more
than they produce and stocks on
hand gradually become exhausted
and have to be replenished. The.
United States is at present passing
through this process of using up the
stocks that it was profitable to main
tain when prices were continually
rising, but that it is disastrous to
hold while they are falling"

N. O. T. & M. Income Bonds

Question: would like to have your
opinion concerning the New Orleans, Texas
& Mexico bonds, SIS, now selling about
SIS ", as to their probable value an in
vestment Also the United States Realty
bonds. SIS, at about ST. II not these bonds,
what would you recommend for invest
nent of about s5.0o0?-R H K.
Answer.-The New Orleans, Texas &
Mexico non-cumulative income SIS are,
in our opinion, speculative. They are
a direct obligation of the company,
but are not secured by a mortgage and
the railroad situation is such at pres
ent that bond whose interest is de-
pendent on earnings and is not cumu-
lative, cannot be classed as an invest
ment. The U. S. Realty & Improvement
debenture s per cent bonds, due July
l, 1924, are direct obligation Of the
company but are not secured by mort
gage. The company owns a controlling
interest in the Plaza Operating Com
pany and the George A. Fuller Company,
and several large Office buildings which
have prior lien mortgages on them.
We consider the bonds a reasonably
good inves TN emit.
