Many Factors in appraisal
Of Outlook for Investments
Course of Commondity Prices Held Of I'm
portance-High-Grnde Securities and
Current Charge for Money Interlaced.

In one respect the present situation
differs from that in other industrial re-
actions. Supplies in the hands of con-
suners are unusually low. Probably at
no other time has there been such con-
sistent hand-to-mouth buying All this
points to the possibility of a sudden
change for the better, and improvement
in pig iron, as experience teaches. is
the basis for general industrial recovery.
Turning to the actual investment
situation at present, many observers
affirm that prices are already high.
Liberty bonds, save only the tax-ex-
empt 3ks. are selling above par. 1t
is no longer profitable for the Brit
ish government to buy our govern
ment bonds for the purpose of tender
ing them at par in payment of the
interest on the British war debt to
the United States.
Employing Surplus Funds.
Instead, n has been buying by
banks and institutions in need of
employment for surplus funds that
has put the Liberty bond market up
to it's present level. TO say, however,
that there is no possibility of still
higher prices is a mistake. The long
est term active government issue is
the Treasury Ans, non-redeemable
before 1947. These made new high
record of 102 the day after the New
York Federal Reserve Bank cut it's
rediscount rate from Az to 4 per
cent. Since that time, there has been
some reaction. Nevertheless, to re-
duce the yield basis to per cent,
which is not excessively low for a
United States government bond un-
der present conditions, these Treas
ury AZ would have to sell at 1041
The case is even stronger for high :
grade bonds and preferred stock &.
Many of these are now selling belo "
the highs reached earlier this year,
to say nothing OF a year ago. This is
true of the two most highly regard
stock exchange list Atchison pre-
ferred and Union Pacific preferred.
Both these purely investment issues
are selling not alone below their
high records of 1928, but of 1924 also.
Market Good for New Onerarsss.
Whatever may be the lorsPtrange
outlook, it cannot be denied I hat the
market for new offerings is ia better
shape than in a long while. This
was demonstrated this week. by the
Western and Northern Railroad is
sue. This was construction loan for
the purpose of building a. new rail-
road across Florida, the new road
to be leased to the Sea board Air
Line. The high coupon rate had a
good deal to do with the success of
the Offering, but the rem arkable i'm
provement in earning rr,wer shown
by the Seaboard Air Lime and con-
fidence in the possibilities of Florida
were likewise involved. 1t all augurs
well for the vast amount, of new rail-
road financing still to come

IN A TICKLE MARKET

Special Dispatch to The Slar.
NEW YORK, May 10.-A series of
sharp price cuts in the oil trade occu-
pied attention in Wall street today TO
the exclusion of almost everything else.
Lowering Of crude oil quotations oc-
CURED simultaneously in midcontinent
and in the Pennsylvania districts, and
in the case Of the former it was un-
usually sharp On no single occasion
while the oil market was going down a
year ago was there any such drastic
cut in the midcontinent territory as the
twenty FIVE cents barrel reduction an
nounced today.
That the stock market was quite un-
prepared for the news was shown by
the overnight drop of " to points in
the oil trade. But as a matter OF fact
the oil trade statistics for some time
have foreshadowed this action. Figures
on crude oil production have been
showing a slow but steady increase,
while gasoline supplies on hand. as
computed on April ], were the largest
on record. Those best informed had
been saying that these conditions called
for a downward revision in prices But
the public had been led aStray by the
optimistic statements from prominent
oil men. of which some appeared as late
as Friday and were printed in the pa
perS this morning.
Outside the oil group the losses were
not as severe. Still among the indus
trials they were very general, and fire.
quently reached point or more.

BY GEORGE T.. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, May 10-Any ap-
praisal of the investment outlook
must take into account many factors.
AS far as high grade investment
securities are concerned. such as
government bonds and first mortgage
rails and industrials, the important
consideration is the current charge
for money. AS interest rates decline
the rule is that bonds advance.
There are, however, other import ant
considerations. One is the course of
commodity prices and another is the
status of the business cycle.
Now what is the situation at
present? In the first place, money is
cheap and the trend seems to be
toward lower charges. This week,
for instance. banks were Offering
FUNDS for ninety days at per cent,
and asking only Az per cent for
longer periods. This is a decline of
approximately 4 of l per cent since
last week.
No Advance in Com odftfes.
Commodity prices are certainly not
any higher, and here, too, the out
iooA 10 IOr d lower rather than a.
higher level. Gold continues to pour
INTO the country. The reserve ratio
OF the combined federal reserve
banks Is at the highest level since
the world war. There has been
moderate reaction in business Just
now much 1t is difficult to say At
any rate the supply of funds for com
mercLal purposes is greater than the
demand.
These fundamentals admitted. il is not
surprising that this weeks market for
purely investment securities has been
nrm TO strong. Going a step further, il
IL pertinent to inquire how long this
condition will last No exact answer in
the nature of the case can be given
Close watch must be kept on all the
Factors already enumerated. Especially
important among these are general
business conditions 1t is interesting
TO recall in this connection that Col
Ayres, the Cleveland economist, has
since 1883 the high point of the bond
market was reached fourteen months
after the low point of pig iron produc-
ton. Now, as every one knows the pig
iron market is greatly depressed.
Blast Furnaces Close Down.
During April there was a net loss of
from thirty-five to forty furnaces in
blast This is the most severe drop
since March, 1921. when fifty-two stacks
were lost altogether. Pig iron out
put showed drop of per cent in April
over March. Whether production and
consequently. prices are now dragging
on the bottom is a matter of opinion
