BOND MARKET
HAS RECORD
MONTH
January Establishes New Rec
ord for the Issuance OF
New Securities.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS,

Copyright. 1923. by Cosmopolitan News
Service.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Those who
have been following the bond market
closely will recall that during the
month Of December the banking in
situations Of the country were
liquidating a large portion Of the
Government war bonds which they
had been holding in their portfolios.
The movement was not confined to
the commercial banks, but was par
ticipated in also by the saving banks
and fiduciary institutions Of all
kinds and even by prominent pri-
vate investors. It seemed to- the
banks to be more desirable to liqui-
date their bonds, which were return
ing Az per cent and 315 per cent
interest, rather than resort to rediS-
counting at the Federal reserve
banks or borrowing from other
banks.
1t is quite evident now that the
process has entirely reversed and
that these institutions, instead Of be-
ing sellers of high-clasS bonds, are
again arrayed on the buying side.
The latest reports of the national
banking institutions show that
somewhere in the neighorhood u
Sc, SOC, OO0, 900 of Government securi-
ties are now held by them, to say
nothing of the billions of loans
against Government bonds as col.
lateral The banks do not appear
to be broadening out into industrial
and public utility bonds, however.
All records Of the issuance of
new American securities for the
first month in the year have been
surpassed by January, 1928, and
investment bankers are seriously
raising the question as to the abil-
ity of the market to absorb new
bonds at the rate they have been
coming out.
While the January reinvestment
demand was unusually large the
supply of new bonds was in even
heavier proportions and consequent
ly the demand has now begun to
fall off. Already some of the i'm
portant distributing houses report
that they are unable to dispose of
some of the new issues which they
have recently acquired. They are
hopeful that the new bonds pur-
chased by investors will not be
thrown back on the market in any
quantity, as that would considerably
handicap their new financing pro-
jects.
A New York banking syndicate is
offering a new issue of $4,000, 900
of 6 per cent serial gold notes Of
the Fisher Body Corporation at
prices to yield from 515 to 81 per
cent according to maturity. The
proceeds of these notes will be used
to retire outstanding fund indebted
ness, to retire the outstanding pre-
ferred stock Of the company in the
amount of 1858 and to provide ad-
ditional working capital. AS already
announced tits the intention of the
company to issue 100000 shares of
new common stock at SIS share.
The important pubic utility
offering today is that of $4,000, 900
first mortgage thirty-year per
cent gold bonds of the Yadkin
River Power Company to yield over
6 Dpr cent

The man who could devise an infalli-
BILE plan for eradicating boil weevil
entirely would be assured of max
ing more than large fortune.
Sees Prices High.
The price Of cotton in the near
future depends on the conditions
which will effect the new crop, but
as 1 have said, I think the outlook
that can now be foreseen which
leads me to be other than optimistic.
AS to 27-cent cotton, it may be
said that high prices will be
necessity, for to fight boil weevil
requires the expenditure Of much
capital and much hard work. One
thing Is sure and that Is the farm
er cannot grow 25-cent cotton and
make a fair and reasonable profit.
His hazards are many and there Is
no reason why this would not be
taken into consideration.
Reasonably high prices. think
1t may be safely said, are assured.
Many crops are failure very
cause for the maintenance OF
good prices.
Labor conditions do not affect us
where the supply is good, but in
Georgia and the Carolinas the situa-
ton is not so favorable, much of
of the labor being employed in mills
and elsewhere, making shortage
for harvesting purposes.
Little Competition,
The output from the Imperial
Valley, California, and elsewhere
along the border has not reached
| a stage where it affects the market
very much, the last crop having
amounted only to about 12O, 900 bales,
but the industry is growing there
and in time the output will be very
appreciate.
what the cotton crops in India and
elsewhere may amount to next sea
son. There is plenty of labor there
and some of the drawbacks with
which American farmers have to
contend do not exist. Last year the
Indian crop was only a fair one.
1t may be better this year but in
any event / do not look for 1t to af-
feet the American market very
| greatly.
If we have good luck over here
and the weather and the ravenous
boil Weevil do not make conditions
too adverse, think we may look for
results which will satisfy the aver
age American planter and this
should make salts lctory market.
