Public Stin Keen for New Issues

Bond market conditions for several
months past have been Of highly sat
isfactory character, prices showing sue
ceSsive advances each week, with the
volume OF transactions increasing from
day to day. there having been only a
slight setback in prices in January,
which was followed by another upward
swing of broad proportions which has
not yet eliminated. The public Is keen
for new issues, and this has been in (.
strumental in bringing about the rapid
absorption that has taken place in each
new issue that has come out. 1t indi-
Gates that the country is we'll supplied
with money, and that the attention of
investors is being directed more gener.

1t is but natural that such a situa-
tiOn would obtain In the face Of the easy
money conditions. but there are other
factors which must be regarded as of
some Importance in the situation. IT
will be recalled that during the Liberty
Loan campaign the American public
became more familiar with investment
securities than ever before. This was
brought about by the patriotic partici.

Business Conditions

Quite apart from the unduly bright

circles" says the Mechanics and Metals
Bank of New York. in it's monthly
financial and business review. trade
reviews are distinctly hopeful. Pro.
gressive gains in the volume of indus.
tfial output. combined with continued
accumulation Of capital and credit,
have found their reflection in number
of directions; in a greatr employment of
labor. for instance; in n strengthening
Of prices; in better state Of things OH
the railways. In a pronounced rise of
security values and broadened public
interest in security trading. In Il further
easing of the situation with respect to
the long standing frozen loans
present indications point to sus.
tanned activity. even If they do not
altogether encourage expectations of
further large expansion. Nothing in
the situation is perhaps SO encouraging
as the general belief that bottom price
level has been established, and that
henceforward adjustments which are
made will. on the whole. be in the ma :.
ture Of stabilization. with odds in favor
Of advances rather than Declines

that institutions have again been IL
dominating influence in the stiffening Of
quotations for this group. Money has

impelled to enter the market for Lib.
critics in order to keep their surplusages
from remaining idle, and it also is stated
that institutional buying of short term
notes has been instrumental in bringing
about the marked scarcity of this class
of issues which has recently developed.

ket has been practically swept dry of
offerings, except where premium over
