The bond market at the exchange
Yesterday registered irregular fiuctua-
tions with the United States govern
ment war issues generally showing a
tendency to sell off. The movement
here was attributed by dealers to liqui-
dation of holdings by interests whose
tax payments have compelled them to
realize on some of their security
holdings in order to strengthen their
cash position. Victory Az per cent
notes alone held steady. The tone in

was generally steady on active trad

To figure the precise Weld on bona

TO figure the precise yield on a bond 1t
Is necessary to use yield tables. but the
approximate yield roughly be figured
out by the following formula: Divide the
closing quotation on bond into the rate
OF the annual return. If the bond is selling
below par you must allow also for the
appreciation OF the principal. To do this
subtract the market quotation from par.
or lo0 and divide the remainder by the
number of years the bond has to run be-
1ore maturity. For example, II 6 per
cent bond is selling at 30 and has ten
wears to run, the annual return will be
S.66 per cent. Tho difference between par
and the market price will be ten points
subtractirg so from 100. Dividing ten
points by ten years. the Guotient will be l
