HeaViness in Industriais But
Rails Show Strong Tone in

news SerVlce.)
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Heaviness
Ia industrials was counterbalanced
by continued firmness in the rails
IN the first two hours trading on
the stock exchange today. No
special development could be as
signed as the cause for the apathetic
feeling in the Industrial section,
price movements being governed by
the uncertain, and in some in
stances pessimistic tenor of the
weekend mercantile and financial
reviews. Reports of curtaiIed pro-
auction schedules in some of the
basic industries, such as pig iron.
wooden and cotton goods, were not
at all conducive. to bullish initia-
tive. 1t required, therefore, little
effort to establish a lower range of
values, although it must be ad-
mitted that aggressive bear tactics
except in few isolated cases were
conspicuous by their absence.
Railroad shares, on the other
nand, gave good account of them
selves, although tendency to PRO-
coed cautiously was much in evil
dence. This conservative attitude
Dy interests sponsoring higher
prices, resulted in occasional sink
ing spells, due to profit taking, in
some Of the sharply advanced is
sues without, however, impairing
the underlying firmness of the
group as a whole. Canadian Pa
cific, Reading and Atlantic Coast
Line in the dividend paying group,
and St. Paul, pfd., Frisco preferred
and Wabash, pfd., "a" in the low
priced section stood out by reason
OF their strength.
The reactionary trend in the in
dustrial list was evident from the
start. Frequent rallies prevented
the market from getting weak, but
the half-heartedness Of each re-
covery testified to the meagerness
OF the buying power, a development
Which the bear party did not fail
to take advantage Of. Studebaker,

Conservative Bankers Warning

Service.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-The volume
of outstanding real estate mortgage
bonds in the American markets to-
day is reported larger than at any
previous time. The enormous In
crease in building operations and
the higher unit costs OF construction
naturally call for larger volume OF
financing, but many conservative in
vestment bankers assert that loose
methods in the issuing OF mortgage
bonds have injected into the market
a number OF unsound issues.
Investors in mortgage bonds are
warned to be on their guard in pur-
chasing securities Of this class,
particularly when the income re-
turns seem unusually liberal.
The, refusal of banks and invest.
ment houses to loan the usual per-
centage Of the cost of new buildings
has opened UP field for promoters
who are not SO discriminating In the
methods employed
AS long as they can pass along
their bonds to investors they have
little at stake and those whom they
rate OF payments demanded for s.ac.
commodation" ais long as rents re-
main high and inflated prices con.
tinue. The real problem will come
when costs and rents return to
normal, and real estate values
shrink.
During the past two years
mortgage loans are said to have been
made in excessive amounts on new
business structures, and the bonds
based on such loans, many Of which
belong to the uNguaranteed class,
tractive terms.
An officer Of prominent surety
company discovered that In many In
stances the amount Of the mortgages
were from 80 to 95 per cent OF the
total valuation Of the property by
which they were secured.
