RAY OF CONFIDENCE HITS BOND
MARKET, CAUSING SHARP TILT
IN PRICES; ALL GRADES AFFECTED

is how all this will affect the price If
securities. AS far as prime invest
ment bonds are concerned. only n
change in the current charge for
money, of which there is now fitfIe
sign, Is likely to matter. The sis1a-
tlon Is quite different in the second
grade aud speculative classes. Take
the case of the railroads. Bonds of
,he savings bank type sell TO yield
i!tsie more than liberties. Obliga-
tons OF roads which have only recently
shown substantial earning power are
stuI very attractive. If the railroad
situation improves as it is now EXPECT
to improve, the price of securities of
TINS class may be expected to increase.
Actual investors are very slow 70
realize a change in the outlook for any
particular road. With them. records
of the past weigh more heavily than
outlook for the future. If anyone will
take the trouble to compare present
poor earnings re some OF the roads
always classed as strong, with present
good earnings of some of those gen
orally ciassed weakest, note the fall
ure TO reflect these conditions in the
price of the respective bonds. fba
point will be clear. Spectators MAKE
these comparisons constantly. Ger
tainly in the last analysis it is earning
power and not property value which
give u railroad bond investment worth.
Foreign Rally
The rally in the foreign list was in
vestment features of the week. II
came without any change in the for
eign situation. Exchange rates. in
fact, went to lower as foreign govern
ment securities payable in dollars
Went higher. Only the fact that these
bonds are selling on the basis of such
an attractive yield can account for the
upturn. Probably any new crisis"
quotations again. 1t is reaSsuring,
however, TO know that there is a limit
to which pessimlsln az the foreign sit
uation concerned Is at least so far rs
1t reflected in the price of foreign
bends.
Discussion as 10 the constitutional
amendment to prohibit further issues
of tax exempt securities continues,
President Harding and the secretary
of the treasury ARE said TO be IN favor
of such an amendment.
Ii is very interesting TO note that
savings banks are being advised to
purchase state and municipal issues at
present prices, with the expectation of
utsl'osihS ~ thchA t d khotAt NAeu
and if tax exemption comes to an end.
The process of constitutional amend
is so slow that n long time
must elapse before any action is tax
but that does not mean that prices
of outstanding securities may not dis
count the event well before hand.
Vigorous opposition to the change
be accepted from states and
municipalities which are now able to
borrow on such easy terms.
