Merits Hardly Considered.

This was strikingly brought GU,
this week, when the directors of the
ST. Louis-San Francisco Railroad put
the common stock on a dividend basis
The action was promptly followed by
a scramble to buy not only the obliea-
tions of this particular road but OF
others the positions of which are by
no means as strong as st. Louis-San
Francisco. Stocks OF railroads, with
no possibilities of dividends for many
months were eagerly bought. In the
bond market It was invariably the
case that income and adjustment is
sues were In brisk demand, whilr
mortgage bonds, whose status ought
TO be improved with better earnings
were neglected.

NEW ISSUE VERY POPULAR
BY GEORGE IT. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 6. The
most important event of the week in
the investment market was the an
nouncement by the Secretary Of the
Treasury OF the Offering Of a long
term bond Issue with per cent
coupon. II has long been a subject
OF discussion among bankers as 10
when the Secretary would change
his policy OF meeting Government
quarterly requirements by the offer
of short-term securities. Every one
agreed that sooner or later a long
term bond issue was inevitable
When tn investment bankers met
at Cleveland last Fall the Secretary
was criticized for not having taken
this step before. The bankers argued
that any change in the money mar
ket would make higher the cost TO

operation, which was bound to come

Bearing on Money Rates.

There is another phase Of the mat
ter that deserves attention. 1t goes
without saying that the Secretar5
would choose the occasion for a long
term loan when he believed 1t could
be foated on the most favorable
terms. The question naturally then
arises whether this is an indication
that IN the Secretary's opinion monev
rates have turned upward. As to this
OF course. there is great difference OF
view in the banking community. Per
haps the preponderance of sentiment
al this writing is that higher charges
are probable in the more or less i'm
mediate future. Those who hold this
opinion point to the advance In
sterling exchange toward parity as
indicating that balances held her
for so long a time are now being
withdrawn to the other side On no
other theory, they say. can this rise
in sterling be accounted for. If this
deduction is correct. it is certainly an
important factor in the money mar

Call Funds lightly Higher.

Money rates this week have been
without important change, notwith-
standing the fact that call funds
ruled slightly higher. From the long
range standpoint the significant QUO
tation is for time money and com
merctal paper. At the same time of
ferings of high-grade bonds have
come into the market in larger vol
ume, indicating a belief that prices
for this grade of security are around
the top Then, too, the enormous anG
Wild speculation in stocks and in low
grade bonds has had a depressing ef-
feet upon investment securities
Another adverse factor has been
the flood Of new financing While
in every individual case the IN
derwrters assure the public that
their particular issue is oversub-
scribed. the facts are that there arr
large blocks OF these newly offered
bonds still awaiting permanent res
ing places

Edge on ForeiEn BondA

Eventually, doubtless. this accumu-
lation will be cleared up, but mean
while 1t is not helpful to the general
market. 1t has been noticeable all
week that the edge has been off the
market for the foreign bonds. The
new German Is still sell at substan-
tial premiums, but the French 7s
changed hands this week at the offer
ing price. Perhaps when the fever
abates in the stock market, bonds
Will improve.
Coming down TO the speculative
situation. the bond as we'll as the
stock market has been the scene OF
indtscriminate, even reckless, biddinS
up Of rails and fractions. No one
will deny that fundamental conditions
affecting both these utilities have
greatly improved, but prices have
gone a long way in discountinR this
improvement. This Is more true with
respect to stocks than bonds, but il
applies to the latter also. The trouble
is that no attention is paid in times
OF speculative excitement, such as the
present. TO the comparative merits or
securities

Response Most Liberal.

If the response to the offer is any
criterion, the new issue was mos
opportune. While the Government
asked and stated IL would accept cash
subscriptions 10 the amount OF only
s2o0.oOo.00o, applications exceeded
this sum more than twice over The
new bonds in the outside market
promptly sold at a premium. 1t is

10, 1928, and there is outstanding
something over s3,O00,o0O.0OO par
value OF these bonds. What the
Secretary obviously wants is TO light
en- the burden upon the Treasury four
years hence. when this maturity must
be met. This has been his policy all
along in handling the war debt, and
IT has been remarkably successful to
date

Conservation Is Urged.

These observations should not H.,
taken as implying that there is no
merit in the present speculative
favorites in the railroad bond and
stock market Nothing of the kind
is intended, 1t is suggested, however,
that conservatism Is a desirable
quality. and that the wise and
prudent investor will take into ac-
count differences between the securi-
ties. the earning power and the man
agement of the various carriers and
not consider them as all on the same
footing.
