REMARKABLE YEAR
IN BOND PRICES
Movement in Values Called
Most Unusual in History
of Finance.

Movement in bond prices this year
has been the most remarkable in his
tory, says the Wall Street Journal.
Commencing June 81. 1921. a rally
started which extended to September
a. 1922. covering an advance for forty
representative corporation bonds of
1901 points. This exceeded by 2.95
points downward trend which start
ed January IS. 1917.
\ downward trend, starting Sep
tember IA, 1922 has been unusually
severe. considering that most of this
time money rates have been easy. 1t
involves a recession of 3.84 points to
SS.2S. According TO experts 1t was ac
centuated in the last two weeks by
sales by investors who are recording
losses for income tax reports. AS 1t Is
necessary under the new tax laws to
wait thirty days before repurchasing
bonds sold for tax purposes, this SELL
ing started in November this year,
whereas in previous years many in
vestors waited until near the close of
the year.

The Victory Notes

The Victory Notes which have been
called for redemption bear the dis
tinguishing letters A, B, C, D, E or F
prefix to their serial numbers, and
interest on these called Notes will stop
on December Is, 1922.
1t is strongly urged that all holders
of Victory Notes make immediate ex-
animation of their present holdings to
see whether any have been called for
redemption, and then make prompt
presentation of any called Notes, in
order to avoid loss Of interest after
December 18th. Banks generally will
handle redemptions for their custo-
mers; and the Federal Reserve Banks
and Branches have provided special
facilities for the purpose.
Holders of Victory Notes called for
redemption on December 18th, or of
Treasury Certificates maturing on
December 18th, can purchase the out
standing Liberty Bonds, Treasury
Bonds, or other Treasury Notes, at
prevailing market prices through their
own banks, or if desired, through the
nearest Federal Reserve Bank or
Branch.
