MARKET PRICE OF MONEY

vTNHE city made a more profitable deal yes.
IL terday when 1t sold $4,000, 900 in "A
per cent bonds at par than 1t made last
October when its ga per cent bonds brought
103. 300.
The October bonds were sold on a basis
OF yield of per cent. The February
bonds will cost the city only Al per cent
The interest offered is apparently the pres
ent market price for money exempt from
the Federal income tax. a fall of three
quarters OF l per cent in four months is
notable. 1t indicates the approach of nor
mai conditions. and suggests that If the city
can get money for "A per cent private
business can get it for little higher price.
Cheap money means resumption Of
building, more work for mechanics Of diff
3erent kinds and increased prosperity for
AL sorts Of business growing out of the
circulation of money.
'y The sale Of the bonds at par has demon.
stfated that Az per cent is the prcsen,
market price of tax free money. But why
should the city ever seek to sell its bonds
at premium? The premium indicates that
the interest offered Is more than the money
as worth. If the city should offer to sell
Its securities, not to the highest bidder, but
to0the bidder who would accept them at par
at the lowest rate Of inerest, It would never
have to pay more than the market price for
money and 1t would save hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars in interest on the city debt.

MALONEY'S NEW JOB

IN THE headlong days of Attorney General
Palmer the Bureau OF Investigation Of
the Federal Department of Justice UNDER
went nm almost spectacular change Of tenn
perament 1t had been highly efficient and
highly respected service under other Ad-
ministratious. Pervaded with the contagion
of Mr. Palmers cmotionalism, the bureau
turned to the methods of the secret police
Of fiction, developed Il fondness for terrorism
and became famous for Its raids.
1t was through the work of Department
Of Justice investigators that innumerable
wrong minded or bewildercd persons were,
placed in jcil and held there without the
formalities of trial or a formal Indictment
and finally liberated without knowing what
had been charged against them.
Naturally, the service became in time n
target for criticism even from conservative
quarters, The new policy seemed omlnous
on its face. But the greatest damage was
later shown to have been done not to the
few persons who suffered through an abuse
of the Federal authority, but to the repu-
tation and prestige Of what used to be a
highly esteemed branch Of the public service
in days when 1t was directed with q right
regard for the obligations that go with
almost unlimited power. 1t was pretty
generally felt, when Mr.. Palmer left office,
that way would be found to compel only
right use of the facilities of the Depart
ment Of Justice
William j. Burns, when he was made
Chief Of the Bureau Of Investigation, was
looked upon as man who might be ex-
pected to restore the old discipline and the
old dignity aud the old srnse Of RESPONSE
biity which in the past characterized the
secret police organization of the Govern
ment. So 1t is all the more astonishing

put upon the list of Department of Justice

in the House of Correction for his part in

COTTON RALLIES

Gains Follow Covering and
Buying by Trade-March
Closes With Advance.

The cotton market was extremely
weak and unsettled yesterday. with
prices making new low ground for tho
movement March contracts, for In
stance, sold down to 1884. or more
than 50 a bale below the high price
touched at the beginning OF the new
year and Sc points less than Saturdays
closing quotation. There were late rail-
lies on covering and little trade buy
ing. March closed at 1856. or % points
up from the lowest, and the final tone
was steady, but last prices were 20 to
"a points net lower.
The market opened barely steady
with a decline of 10 to % points, owing
to weakness in Liverpool, local and
Southern selling. Last weeks ap-
prehensions of spot liquidation were
revived by reports that the decline
abroad had been due largely to hedging.
Persistent selling here for Southern ac-
count naturally colored the talk of an
easing basis. Liquidation became more
urgent as prices worked lower with
stop orders uncovered on every points
decline after the market broke through
1910 for March and the days lowest
figures were reached during the early
afternoon. At Il net decline of 40 to 60
points, liquidation was less active and
there was some trade buying, although
the closing ralley was attributed chiefly
to covering and the firmer technical
position.
The spot market was quiet and 80
points lower at 1895 for middling and
Its sales were nil.
