Improvement mortgage per cent. bonds,

Railroad first mortgage per cent.

off at maturity on April 5000, 900 of a
$15.000.000 issue of three year per cent.

War Finance Corporation holds about
s12. 900. 600, and 1t is expected that most
of them will be renewed. The new loan
is expected to enable the Eric to pay Off
those held by individuals and private in

Decline in BOND Financing.

TT is bit puzzlng why the volume Of
new financing has fallen Off so sharply
during the last two weeks" says the
Bond Buyer. "A let up in municipal bor-
rowing Is generally expected at this time
OF the year. but I'm view of the re-
marlSable recovery Of bond prices 1t was
expected that for several months more
borrowing at the new low interest rates
would continue heavy. Apparently this
view is not going TO be justified. For
the entire month of January new issues
amounted TO only $56. 900, 900. as against
s313,745,S76 in December. SIC ISL, 1855 in
January, 1921, and $s6,647.131 in 1920.
0verhangng the municipal bond mar
ket are several factors which will bear
close watching: The outcome of the SOL
diers' bonus controversy and It's reia-
tion to Government finance the proposal
TO tax income from State and municipal
bonds and an early Offering OF a large
block OF tax free Federal Farm Loan
bonds"
