Tax. Exempt Securities

Next Thursday New York City will
open sealed bids for SJ5, 900, 900 Of
fifty-y year Az per cent bonds. If the
results recently obtained by other mu-
nicipaTitics which have offered new Sc
curiticS for subscription may be ac-
ceptcd as proper criterion. the outcome
of this undertaking vii be n huge sue
cess. Various predictions have been
made relative to the outcome of the
city's financing. and it is felt in the
best informed quarters that a subStan-
tial premium will be realized for the
bonds. The City Of Rochester on We'd
nesday last sold about 81 900, 900 of
one to thirtyy 4las at 102. .637,
which sets new mark in municipal
financing In point of price in the pres
cnt era of expanding quotations. In
fact, all recent municipal financing has
been accomplished in most sutisfac =
tory manner.
The recommendation Of President
Harding in his message to Congress for
the creation of measure which will
eliminate further authorizations of tax
exempt securities also Is n factor OF
the highest importance in the municipal
and State as we'll as Government bono
markets. Admittedly such mcasur,
could not be made retroactive. because
that would involve the revision OF vlr-
tually every State Constitution in thi,
country. Therefore, some were of tn,
opinion that there would follow an un.
usually active and urgent demand fol
the present outstanding taX-cXempt Sc
curitics with but one result, that o
much higher prices.
Whether or not Congress will adhere
to the suggestions of the President l.
A matter of considerable speculation. bu
in the meantime 1t is thought to be no.
improbable that it will exert some in
flucnce over quotations for high grade
tax exempt investment securities.

been the tremendous export Of capita
from Germany and the transfer OF all
kinds Of wealth. including securities;
into foreign credits. German industrial
capitalists have transferred their capi. 4.
tai into the more stable currcncieS OF
other countries, case in point being
the rise in Swiss cXCnnngc to it's par.
This has been largely attributed to
the wholesale influx Of transferred Ger
man capital and credits. whereas the
financial and economic situation OF
Switzerland has been unfavorabIc.

'When such competent authority as
Governor Harding. of the Federal Re-
serve Board feels safe to predict n big
boom i'm business ahead, it is about
time TO dismiSG any lingering doubts
ns to the solid foundation of the cur
rent constructive movement. Governor
Harding says. From now on the coun-
try will advance into u period of more
sane, more sound and more substantial
prosperity than We have over had be-
fore The stock market and the bond
market for the several months have
been saying tho same thing in their
own way. Confusing surface appear
ances may seem 20 disCredit these opti-
mistic representations. but the fact
must not be overlooked it Is in the
distant future. rather than from exist
ing conditions, the real measurements
Of the great market swings are fixed.
As we pointed out n week ago, all
indications forcshadow prompt adjust
ments which would result in far reach
ing improvement in the international
monetary situation This has been con-
frncd by the rapid advance in sterling
exchange. carrying the quotations to
the highest of the year. The settlement
of the Irish question and the apparent
get together policy of the allies in
Strengthening out the German rcpara-
tions problem also were side lights of
the Frightening foreign situation. Pres
ldcnt Hurding's highly constructive
message and the continued favorable
accomplishments of the Disarmament
Conference were at the same time fur
ther proof as to the encouraging way
things arc going from domestic view
point. The moderate setbaCks which
some of tho recent active leaders sus-
tained during the week are without
Significance and are common in every
major market movement. 1t has been
conrlusivNly demonstrated the trend 4of
security values is upward and every
advantage should be taken of these tenn
pOrary reactions. otherwise opportuni-

CUSTOMS FIFTY YEARS AGO

Who among us would say to-day, II

Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may seem,
not one person in 1000 used Dentifrice-

Powder for the Feetl'
More than One Million five hundred
thousand pounds of Powder for the Feet
were used by our Army and Navy during
the war.
The reason is this: Incasing and confining
the feet in Leather or Canvas Shoes is
bound to create friction, more or less.
Aliens Foot=Ease removes the friction
from the shoes, and freshens the feet. 1t
is this friction which causes smarting, cal
louses, corns and bunions. You know what
friction does to your motor-car axle. Why
not remove it from your footwear by Shak-
