ing their present position we see but
W factors which might cause such a
shift during the balance OF the year.
III in reaching the peak of its long
swing bull movement. the stock mar
ket develops into Il fever.sh squirt, 1t
may be necessary for certain of our
tnniing interests to liquidate bond
holding in order TO provide the cash
necessary for stock ioans on Il higher
price level. This might cause a tenn
porary sag in bond prices which would
be recovered as the furry subsidized.
II the advance an the stock market
does not develop into a spree of spec
ulation but proceeds on an orderly
basis it probably will have a slight
effect upon bond prices.
1.-THE other factor to be considered
is that of crop moving which always
puts a seasonal strain on our financial
machinery beginning about the first
of August and ending the latter part
of ctober. his seasonal demand fo-
additional credit may force CONNER

Prior to the Coach, closed cara on
high-grade chassis were too costly
for most buyers.
A moderate priced closed car meant
a low-priced chassis.
The Coach, for the first time conf
bined closed car comforts and fine
chassis quality, at a price for all. 1t
gives every utility you can get in
any closed car. And you do not
forfeit performance, reliability and

while there are no figures available on
the effect that bank purchases and
sales have on the general investment
market. 1t stands to reason that the
banks represent the largest single
customer for bonds in the country
and a their position must have an
effect on bond prices. When the
banks were selling they not only re.
moved their purchasing power from
h bond market but flooded it with
their own holdings. When they re-
versed this position the stream of
bonds that has been coming into the
market from the banks is shut off
and they offer purchasing power not
only for new but also for old issues.
AS long as they are buying and hold

well go below present levels, and

err it Is the beginning of the long swing
upward or whether it will be offset
by another reaction such as that rul-
ing in the bond market of the first
three months of this year.
Roger w. Babson's statement on
the situation. issued today, presents
evidence which deserves careful con
sideration by everyone interested in
the uture of investment securities.
Money rates are easy" according
TO Mr.. Babson. and will continue at
about their present position for some
time to come.
January saw Commercial pape at
az per cent on the average. In Feb
ruary it rose to AZ per cent. March
brought it slightly above 5 per cent.
In April 1t ruled at SIS per cent. Early
May brought it back to 8 per cent.
Present indications are hat 1t will
continue at about this same level
throughout the summer. Time loans
have been made by the banks on about
this same basis, while mortgage mon
ey is available in the asst at 8 per cent
to 6 per cent.
From the point OF view of the bond
market this easing in money rates in
dicates a slackening in the demand
for commercial loans. an increase in
reserve on the part of our banks and
a shrinking up of the increased credit
Necessary to finance the sudden squirt
in business at the beg ming of this
year Since it is the habit of our banks
10 invest surplus funds in bonds as
reserves grow, md to liquldate these
bonds when commercial needs demand
increased borrowing or the part of the

the banks of the country have turned
from a policy of selling their holdings
