FRENCH BONDS
UNAFFECTED
BFFRA|VG
Bonds Floated in U. S. Can
not Be Affected by FIuc-
tuations in Exchange.

NEW YORK, April 4.--AIarket
prices Of French and Belgian gov.
eminent bonds isstled in dollars and
floated in America by banking syn
dicates, are only indirectly affected
by fluctuations in Franc exchange.
Practically; there is no relation be-
tween them. II French francs were
entirely wiped out and a new form
Of currency substituted. while the
credit and financial resources of the
French republic remained intact, the,
real value Of the bonds would be
unaffected. =
This is not the case with bonds
like the French Victory issues,
which appear in franc valuations,
and which would be entirely worth
less should the franc disappear.
French Victory per cents Of 1881,
which declined to 2i1a when the
franc struck $40 cents, were exactly
in. keeping with comparative values.
for, with the franc worth only 20
per cent of normal, it was logical
that a. bond calling for payment in
that currency should command 20
per cent Of it's face value. With the
francis rise to 500 cents, French
Victory as promptly advanced to
41Is, a gain Of 20 points. or 100 per
cent, in less than two weeks. The
French IS meanwhile, rejecting con
fidence in French financial eondi-
tons. moved up about s points.
Investors who may be attracted
to foreign bonds by reason of prom
ises OF more liberal yields, should
consider primarily the currency in
which bonds are issued. Most for
eign issues listed on the New York
stock exchange are in dollars, while
foreign currency bond issues are in
the outside or unlisted markets.
The dollar issues are not exempt
from wide price fluctuations. but
are more closely related to an in
vestment. rather than a speculative
feature. than bonds issued in foreign
currencies.
Public offering was made today
by Spencer Trask & Co. and Curtis
& Sanger OF $4,000, 900 American Ma
chine and Foundry Company per
cent secured sinking fund gold
bonds. due 1889 at 95, to yield more
than $50 per cent.
