NEW YORK. Oct. 1S.-The re-
action In bond prices which has
taken place since the first part Of
September has. been very moderate.
ranging from q fractional loss In
some securities to as high as five
points ir others. Nevertheless, the
market averages have been con-
siderably reduced, with the small.
est reduction in industrial bonds. >.
The regular averages of the Dow.

within a period Of thirty days the
ten highest grade rails had declined
352 points; second grade rails. lee

The general average shows q fall
ing off Of 1.9l points. Compared
with a year ago, however, the gen
eral average is up 1lh points. with
the best showing in public utility
bonds, which have advanced 1874
points.
In view Of the heavy over.sub
scription Of the new AZ per cent
bonds, some surprise is exhibited
that trading in the new bonds in
the listed market should not 1ave
resulted in higher prices than
those recorded. There is also some
disappointment in the decline OF
the Liberty bonds, some Of which
have lost as much as half a point
in one session. 1t may be said In
explanation that some uncertainty
has been caused because Of the
fact that the subscription books for
the new bonds have not yet for
mally closed, and also that the
market for Liberty bonds has been
somewhat narrowed by reason OF
the withdrawal of the big CONNER

difficulty with most investors Ia

On the other hand, the economic
agencies maintained by the banks
and big Industrial concerns, as well
as u selected few professional econo-
mists, can be relied upon to furnish
reliable and trustworthy information
to those whose activities are linked
up with specific lines of commercial
endeavor. and by keeping in closest
touch with production and consump-
ton. are able to correctly forecast the
movements of prices in basic com
modities. Managers of industrial
concerns attach a great deal of value
to these market estimates.
Should present plans for consoli.
dating three OF the prominent rail-
road systems OF the county be con-
summated. the dreams Of the
"empire builder Of the northwest,
James J. HILL" will be realized. In

merging Of the Great Northern.
