curities and sustained firmness in

bond market.
The basis for the Improvement in
the French issues was continued ia
vorable news from abroad combined
with the possibility of speculative
profits because of the high yield
which these bonds give at current
market prices.
MunicipnIs in Demand.
The striking fact about the French
bonds was that the municipal and
provincial issues were In especial
favor. There were curious irregu-
larities even among these. For In
stance. City of Lyon 6s were in greater
demand than. either the Bordeaux or
Marseille 6s.
1t would be logical to expect some
corresponding improvement in quo
tations for central European bonds.
There was no such development.
however. The Austrian 7s,. the
Czechoslovak SIS. the City of Greater
Prague TVS and the Jugoslav Ss
were little changed. Eight to IL per
cent are obtainable at present prices
for these bonds. The other note
worthy development of today in the
foreign group was further weakness
in the Cuban 5izs on heavy trans
actions.
Strength I'm Libertys.
The strength in the libertys was
generally explained as due to GOV
rails and industrials failed to share
the Improvement. On the other
hand the easier money market has
shown in the quotations for time
funds. and in the ata;tc.,ix federal reserve We
least, to make for higher prices in
prime investment issues. That, of
course, may come later.
An encouraging development was

warrant the hope that dividend VIII

first As are selling on almost a 90
per cent basis.
Traction Bonds Heavy.
IrdCliCdlly all the lIdSbiOh poilu5
were heavy, and especially the Inter
borough issues. Hudson and Man
haitian incomes sold well below so for
the first time recently. For the first
seven months the Hudson and Man
haitian Company reported a surplus
after charges, including interest on
these income bonds, of $s73.o75.
against $432.795 in the corresponding
period of 1922. At today's price the
income bonds yield S.75 per cent.
Among the speculative rails buying
was noted in Seaboard refundlng As
and in the Erie issues generally, but
without much change in price.

Flanders,

The Flemish form Of the name Elan
ders is Nlaenderen, and the word
means the country of the Flemish. The
Flanders of the Middle ages was a
self-governing countsh!p, that is, a
country whose ruler was Il count, but
at times it was under the suZerainty
of France, and sometimes under that
of the empire which then included the
Germanic states. The Flanders of the
Middle ages is today divided between
France and Belgium, the greater part
being included in Belgium, and two
provinces In the western part of the
latter country are known as East and
West Flanders, the latter fronting on
the North sea. Practically all the
country that formed the Flanders Of
the Middle ages is low and level hence
it was commonly called the Low coun
try,
