BONDS DULL DUE

Syndicate Bankers Hampered
by High Rates, But See
Active Season Ahead.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.
Copyright, 1923, by Cosmopolitan
News SerYice.l

NEW YORK, Sept. 49, Except
for dullness, which can be accounted
for in part by the heavy demand
for time money, the bond market is
in excellent condition, with prices
holding steady and ample demand
for all high grade issues having a
special appeal to discriminating in
veStorS, said e. G.. Emery, manager
of the bond department of Spencer,
Track and Company. today. He de-
clared investment bankers are pre-
pairing for a more active season this
fall, though it Is unlikely that new
bond flotations will be as large or
as diversified as in the first three
months of the year
The continuance of high money
rates has put damper on the ac-
tiVities of syndicate bankers who have
been hoping to close negotiations
for a number OF domestic issues.
or the paying off with borrowed
funds of callable bonds bearing high
rate coupons. Managers Of indus
trial corporations who have become
accustomed to the lower money
rates which prevailed most of this
year, are loath to accept new loans
at the best rates they can secure at
the present time They prefer to
wait until the ending of the crop
moving period, when funds released
from the agricultural districts will
be available on more favorable
terms.
Bond dealers and bankers have on
their shelves number of security
issues, floated when money rates
were lower, which they are unable
to dispose of without marking
down the prices. Occasionally the
dissolution of a. bond syndicate
forces the sudden adjustment in
market prices OF issues which other
wise would have gradually adj
justed themselves to rising interest
rates.

]. n. Tregoe. Head of Credit
Men, Believes Stories of
Hardship Exaggerated.
By w. S. COUSINS.
Copyright, 1923. by Cosmopolitan

News SerVice.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-Optimism
in regard to business and financial
conditions in the United States was
expressed today by j. H. Tregoe,
executive secretary Of the National
Association of Credit Men, who will
go to Atlantic City tomorrow to
attend the annual meeting of the
directors of the organization.
AS directing head of 10000 mer-
chandising and commercial credit
experts in this country and Canada,
Tregoe has access to an enormous
volume of public and private. re-
ports and statements with the aid
of which he, formulates his position
regarding business conditions in
the country or any section of it.
my personal observation of con-
ditions throughout the country re-
vealed that there Is more pros
perity and less hardship in America
than general reports seem to in
dicate," he said. This is particu-
larly true in the great industrial
and agricultural sections where, in
spite of the dismal complaints, the
average individual income has been
gradually but surely increasing.
lGSEOIc
decline in many departments of
business about which so much is
being heard at this time represents
water that has gone over the dam,
rather than the flood tides that
will soon be carrying activity and
prosperity to the producers OF com.
modities of all kinds" The real
index of present activity, he as
serted, will be expressed in the
reports of larger outputs of mill
and factory in the closing months
of the year. For this condition
practically all of the industrial
leaders have actively prepared since
early summer, he asserted.
THE greatest stumbling blocks
in the path of business progress, "
Mr.. Tregoe declared, "are the rising
costs of labor, and of the so-called
unit of labor production and high
taxation.
THE effect Of the higher exac-
tons of labor and taxes is the cur
failing of profits and ultimately the
reduction of capital investments in
industry" he said. "All business
capital must originate in profits,
Cut off profits and eventually there
will be no capital to expand and
repIenish the depreciating mills,
mines, factories and other instru-
ments of production. Either unit
production costs must come down
or consumers costs must go up,
Business leaders are making a
strenuous effort to offset the effect
