BOND SALES HALTED
BY MONEY MARKET
Bankers Withhold Issues in
Hope of Relief From Re-
investment Demand.

A country wide investigation OF in
that the bond market is suffering from
one of its periodical attacks of indigestion.
Little relief from this condition Is ex-
pected until the absorption of the large
floating supply of new bonds in the
hands of bankers.
Distributing bankers have a lot more
bonds to sell. but they are wisely
Withholding until the present supply
has been properly digested New issues
Of bonds offered last week totaled less
than s37,oo0,oO0. A similar situation
existed a few months ago and at that
time the investment market showed that
1t had been greatly benefited by the
rest bankers were compelled to give 1t.
The present market condition. how
ever is more complicated because the
lul comes at a time when the situation
has enough uncertainties to create
doubts in the minds of investors. Until
there is some assurance of more stable
money market investment buying Is
likely to be kept at low ebb. The
bonds in the hands OF bankers therefore
are frozen" and constitute burden on
the money market.
Many investment authorities believe
that the present stagnant condition of
the bond market resulted from attempts
to force prices up too rapidly. If money
rates had continued to decline the at
tempts would have been successful.
But money became tighter as business
expanded and interest rates turned up
ward, making the prices OF new bonds
appear out of line. The liquidation of
bonds by corporations to obtain capital
brought about a decided decline in out
standing bonds. which further discour-
aged investors.
Some bankers believe that the rein
veetment demand at the end OF the year
will quickly clear up the floating sup
ply OF bonds and leave the market
once again in a mood to receive fresh
offerings. Others are inclined to the
belief that a slight readjustment down.
ward in bond prices will be necessary
to set the wheels in motion again. This
theory was put into practice last week
by syndicate that had the remainder
of an issue OF municipal bonds. The re-
suit was that the bonds moved much
more quickly. showing strata of demand
just below prevailing prices.
Greater activity was seen in the mar
ket for bonds listed on the New York
Stock Exchange, but prices continued to
recede. Foreign bonds. which early in
the week touched levels parallel with
those OF about a year ago, recovered
sharply In the last few days. Most of
the new bonds offered last week were
public utility obligations. Bankers who
were called on by the Cuban Govern
ment to discuss the bringing out of a
$4,000 900 loan apparently did not favor
an Immediate Offering OF the bonds. so
that bids for them have not yet been
called for.

UNCLE. JOE. IS
TO RETIRE
Veteran Member Of, House
Will Not Seek Re-
Election
Nearly Eighty-Six Years Old-Holds
House RECORD for Length OF
Service

Washington, Feb. .15.-Having SER
we'd longer than any other man ever
alecteu TO the American Congress,
Representative Joseph q. Cannon, OF
the Eighteenth Illinois district, an
nounceu Yesterday that he would not
be a canuldate to succeed himself next
fall.
Mr.. Cannon is approaching his eigh
ty-slxtn limestone. II his lie is spar
ed until the end of his term March 4,
1928, he will have rounded out 40 years
OF service in the House. He broke
the record for actual service more
than a year ago and since that time,
as he himself has explained, he has
been running along on velvet.
There were tears in eyes OF many
of his colleagues when formal announ-
cement of "Uucle Joe's" determination
to retire was made on the floor by
Representative Walsh, Republican,
Massachusetts,, described by the vet
eran legislator as zone of my buddies. =
While Mr.. Walsh was speaking, I'm
Gle Joe, sitting apart from his friends,
hat and an overcoat protecting him
from the cold. -,
Believing always in brevity, Mr..
Cannon's statement that he was soon
to conclude his public service was
packed into one typewriter line OF |
words. Two days ago, when asked
if he again would enter the primary,
he declined to say, adding that his
desision would be known later.
Uncle Joe's" family, it is under
stood, has been urging him to quit
Congress and return to his
old home at Danville, there to pass the
rest of his life in peace and quite. AS
man long accustomed to battles in
Congress the former Speaker at first
rebelled, but finally he consented.
While he still appears as vigorous as
10 years ago, he is mole feeble, his
eyes more dim, and he seldom is
seen as Of old, biting constantly on
the crd OF cigar.
