Bond Prices and Money Market

Joe K. Billingsley, financial expert of
Boston, describes conditions affecting the
market value of government bonds. Asked
whether to hold the Liberty issues, he
declines to decide as an authority, but
says if he had any he would sell; that
present market conditions indicate they
have reached the highest point possible
before maturity that a tightening money
market must surely depreciate their mar
ket value.
AS to the causes of fluctuating market
prices. his article may be summarized s
follows: What determines the price of
Liberty bonds? % The financial condi-
ton of government; (2) the trend of the
public debt; (3) condition of the budget;
ca governments revenues as compared
with expenditures; G) social, political
and economic conditions; CO. the money
market.
Mr.. Billingsey casts aside the first
five reasons as unimportant, and places
the money market as the sole arbiter of
the price of bond for which it's face
price was paid as a patriotic duty and
which of a certainty will be redemmed
in full.
It would be interesting to know what
would have been the price in the market
OF Liberty bonds but for the manipula-
ton OF the issue and the market by those
who control both. Back of all the con-
ditions he mentions is the manipulation
Of the country's fiscal policies which rem
ders the natural laws of business inoper-
ative.
Two per cent consols Of 1880, netting
a half of one per cent less when used as
basis OF bank circulation, have never
been affected by market conditions. They

have stood above par since issue and
until recently have led even the four
per cents as to premium offered The
circulation privilege is expressly denied
the Liberty issues. Why2 Netting more
than twice the interest returns Of the
consols forming circulation base, they
fell to a discount of fifteen cents on
the dollar when the Money Trust had
forced their holders to sacrifice their
savings by closing opportunity for
employment and shutting off the in
comes of the classes who had been Undue
ed to invest Is it reasonable, then, or
not, to insist that the restriction was
part of IL plan to manipulate the market
and make speculation profitable?
With the experiment of these same con-
soils, our fiscal masters have the example
of a means of refunding every maturing
obligation, yet they do not apply IT..
Instead, the refunding operations are con-
Quoted by reissues bearing more than
twice the interest cost of the consols.
Even the deposits in the postal sys-
tenn are used for direct official business
favored banks paying small rate on bal
ances, and lending the money back to the
government for high-priced temporary
loans.
Mr.. BilIingsley will forgive US for the
remark that all of his basis conditions
are of vast Importance: that private bus
mess conducted in the same manner would
soon exhaust its own credit; and that the
emancipation OF legitimate market values
from trust control is more imperative than
watching the market for indications OF

Politics, People, PersifIage
Comment on Subjects in Which You
May or May Not Be Interested. About
People You Know and Ought to Know
BY BRYAN MACK

A good many years ago when I was
editor of country weekly over at
Quincy, the good people out on the
farms continually brought nice things to
my office and presented me with them.
Just why the people feel disposed to
feed country editors do not know, but
know that it is a custom with which
l am in thorough accord.
I had about forgotten those old times,
but happenings Of the last few days in
dictate very conclusively that there are
quite a number of persons who still hold
the idea that editors ought to be fed.
No doubt we have hungry expression.
Saturday night a special delivery box
arrived at my desk, and bore an Atmore
post-mark. 1t was a most suspicious
looking package. I didn't recall that
knew anybody in Atmore who might be
sending me gifts, so the thought came to
me that possibly the anarchists had sent
be bomb. I listened for a ticking
sound that might indicate a clock was
contained therein, but heard. none,
though there was a rather diSduieting
rattle in the box.
I knew that I had to either take a
chance on opening the box and being
blown into atoms, or into that other
place, or dying of curiosity and finally
concluded that it would be better to
take chance on opening the box. And
now I am glad that I did, for instead Of
the internal machine, I found a pack
age of lovely tomatoes, satsuma oranges
and paper she'll pecans, which were a
gift from Mr.. and Mrs William Higdon
of Atmore. I have never had the pleas
ure of meeting these people, but I can
say that as mind readers they stand at
the head Of the class.
Then again last night I received a
package Of fine sugar cane from Mr.. J.
L. Pierce, who lives on Route /, at Can
torment. Now if anyone finds a trail
of sugar cane Feelings going north on
Palafox street this morning he will know
that I have passed along the way.
