the next week in anticipation of the January reinvestment demand, it became apparent that the flood of new financing which has marked 1924 would continue to the close of the year.
 Despite the smaller sales in the bond market last week, investment bankers reported an increasing inquiry from in stitutiOns for high grade domestic se- curities. Because of year-end inven- tories and readjustments actual buying probably will be delayed, but it is said to be in full swing again within three weeks.
 COppers Are Strong
 Copper company bonds gave a con spicuous demonstration of group strength. The unexpected resumption of dividends by the Anaconda Copper Mining company, coupled with the rise in the price of the red metal to the highest level of the year, stimulated heavy buying of these issues. Magma convertible Is gave the most spectacu- lar performance of the week, scoring gain of about 16 points. Anaconda IS and Chile 6s also advanced to new high levels in line with the buOyancy of these stocks.
 In other sections of the list bonds with convertible features or other speculative possibilities led in activity, while standard investment issues were more or less neglected.

COTTON REVIVES
 AS WEEK ENDS
Market Dominated By Liquidation In Early
 Part Of Week
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Compara- lively narrow fluctuations from day to day and moderate trading were the main features in the cotton market during the past week until the closing session Of Saturday, when there was decided revival of activity as well as change to a more bullish feeling as to the out look than has prevailed for some time.
 In the early part of the week the market was dominated by liquidation due to the rather larger ginning totals issued last Saturday than has been expected and the approach of the Christmas holidays. The size Of the ginnings inclined traders to expect larger crop than that estimated by the government on December s.
 It is not surprising that under the circumstances such trend as developed in prices was downward and on Wednesday, January contracts traded as low as 23.46c or 31 points below the close of Saturday of the preceding week and 62 points below the high point reached on Monday. Fear of the effect of anticipated large tenders on Jan nary contracts on Friday undoubtedly helped the pre-Christmas declineS but when it was seen that the notices ls- sued Friday in the local and New York markets though quite as large as feared were promptly stopped, the mar. kets though quite as large as feared were promptly stopped, the market raj lied and by the close on Saturday Jan uary traded as high as 24.44c or 9S points up from the low point of Wednes- day.
 While the weekend advance was due largely to the prompt stoppage Of the January notices, it was undoubtedly helped by an active speculative demand which developed on the part of western and Wall Street interests and also by the record high prices reached for grains and the activity in the stock market. At the weeks close there was disposition to give more attention to probable consumption than to the irrespective supply. The fact that ex- ports for the season to date now ex- ceeded last season by little more than a million bales encourage the be- lief that European consumption at least will be large.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 28.-The thirty-sixth biennial convention of the Phi Delta Theta opened here today with an informal reception and buffet supper attended by several hundred delegates. Charles A. MacAuley, president of the organization, replying to critics of college fraternities as menace to student life, declared that the college fraternity is a decided asset to educa- tional centers. ~.>
 I've have solved the housing problem of the college" MT. MacAuley said. Phi Delta Theta alone has $3,O00,OO0 invested in buildings. Our organization, with about 30,000 members, has mod ern business organization to cooperate with educational authorities in schol- arships, finances and other phases of the students college career.
 Pride in his fraternity does much to build up moral character and parents are beginning to realize that their boy is under better influence when pledged to fraternity than he is run ming wild.

call for. It must be noted nere, 100, that the small increase in commercial loans has been scarcely proportionate to the growth of population and physi- cal volume of business. It therefore ap- pears that commercial loans have scarcely caused money rates to rise. Furthermore, with vast funds avaia- ble, there is no reason why such trend in commercial demands for money as has appeared since business be- gan to improve, or even much sharp CT demand, should cause rapid rise in loaning rates
 But, on the other hand, it does ap- pear as though money rates could not decline if business continued to inn prove, for such improvement will logi- cally result in a greater call for money to be used for other than strictly in- vestment purposes and the greater the demand for any commodity the stronger the trend of the price, as though such a trend need not neces- sarily be sharply upward.

COME significance is attached by a few business authorities to the fact O that money rates have recently ex- hibited signs of strengthening for the first time in months. The above chart shows the course Of rates on commer- cial paper of four to six months in duration,s revealing the upward trend that commenced in November. Of course, a portion of the advance may be attributed to seasonal demands. Then, too, greater stock market activ- ity may have had some influence on the money situation.
 It Is interesting to note in this con- nection that within the past year the loans and investments of member banks of the federal reserve system have in- creased over two billion dollars, al- though only approximately 10 per cent of this increase can be classed as strictly commercial. This is because under existing requirements, reserve banks have had vastly. more credit available than commercial requirements

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Bond prices drifted irregularly lower in last week s quiet trading Holiday influences were reflected in contraction in the volume of business, but reactionary tendencies which appeard with liquidation of bonds to swell Christmas funds were partially counteracted when buying was renewed after the holiday.
 Flrmer money rates also retarded trading. While the rise in call money to . per cent was regarded as a tenn porary measure due to yearend re- quirements, the subsequent stiffening of time funds influenced buyers to adopt a more cautious attitude.
