tation of foreign loans in the American
market reached an unprecedented vol
ume, according to the federal reserve
bulletin. Funds were plentiful and
the demand on the part of both the
banks and the investing public for
securities absorbed new issues almost
as fast as they were offered. More
recently, however, banks have been
much less willing to tie up funds in
long-term investments than was the
case a few months ago. The effect of
this development upon the market for
long-term bonds has been marked.
Not only has the volume OF new Sc
curity issues been reduced, but the is
sues that have lately come upon the
market have been scrutinized with
more care by the investing public.
This has resulted in some cases in a
decided preference of investors for
domestic as against foreign bonds, par
ticularly where the latter appeared
less secure. A somewhat similar pre-
frence for domestic issues has appar-
entity been developing in the London
market, as is evidenced by smaller Of
ierings of foreign bonds and the slow
sale or failure of number of foreign
.lotations recently attempted there
The consequences upon the general in
ernational situation of this reluctance
o lend on the part of the two nations
