NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Durins the
month of September, State and
municipal bond issues were offer"d
to the public in increased volume
and. at the same time, prices moved
up to the highest level reached since
January. 1917. The highest grade
State and city bonds now yield less
than per cent to the investor, but
are in great demand at that level be-
cause of their exemption from Fed
eraI and, in many States, local taxa
ton. To the person reporting an
income of 100000 for income tax
purposes, a per cent taX-free mu-
nicipal bond is actually the equiVa-
lent of a taxable bond yielding per
cent. When exempt from local taxa
ton, the municipal bond is even
more attractive to the individual in
vestor. 1t is this factor, plus the
easy condition OF the money mar
ket, which is responsible for the cur
rent municipal bond values.
The following table, comparing
the sales of new issues of state and
municipal bonds in September and
the nine months period ending
September 80 for the last five years,
