RAILS FEATURE IN

Responds to Decline
of Call Money Rates for
First Time.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 6.-The
principal feature in the bond market
today was the strength of railway
first mortgages and other top-rank
investment issues. A good deal of
the buying of this class of bonds
has been coming from institutions
and is a result of the fall in money
rates.

cline of call money to 3k per cent
for the first time and the drop in time
money rates to ~ per cent was,
however, nothing like it would have
been six weeks or. two months ago.
so quite commonly, but few any
larger advances. 1t was another
proof of which there have been many
during the last month that the bond
market is slowing up.
Libertys' Rise Moderate.
Liberty bonds had moderate
further rise. Illinois Central 61as
were an exception among the rails,
jumping / " points to 10S, which was
their previous high. Missouri Kan
sas & Texas 6s. series B, rose a point.
Between 70 and VI they still return
ed about tx per cent and are regard
ed by some bond experts as being out
Of line. For the most part the gains
were less than a point in such rep
resentatfve issues as Louisville 5Hs,
Southern Pacific As, Rock Island gem
eral 4s. Pennsylvania general 4ks,
Union Pacific IS, Oregon Short Line
Is, Atchison General As and Union
Pacific and Southern Convertible As.
There was an active demand at ris-
ing prices for the Interborough
Rapid Transit 5s. which was inspired
by the favorable analysis of what
securities would be worth if the trac-
ton properties were taken over by

speculative quarters evidently con-
tinuing bearish. Among prominent
shares, changes were confined to
fractions. but in specialties, notably
sugars and fertilizers. declines ran
from to almost points; oils, motors

New Low Money Rates.
Today's most interesting occurrence
was a further reduction in both call
and time money rates. There have
been occasions within the last month
or so when call loans have been ne
gotiated in the outside market as
low as 3R per cent, but today was
the first occasion when this rate was
established on the floor of the stock
exchange. Likewise. it was the first
broken the per cent level. Loans
for 80 and 60 days were reported at
Az per cent. This meant the lowest
figure since the early autumn of
1917, when the United States was in
the first stages of it's great war
financing, which marked the begin
ming of an era Of imitation. SO far as
this country was concerned.
1t has long been realized that the
speculative market was not respon-
sive to the money movement as it
would be in any ordinary time. Its
main attention is directed to the busi-
ness situation. and it is only develop
mepts in this quarter that really
count. Therefore. the new low for
money rates was received with apathy
in the stock market Of the day. 1t
