HEAVY DEMAND.
FOR LIBERTY
BONDS
New High Prices Under StinlI.
Ius Of an Unusually
Heavy Market.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.



NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-New high
prices for Liberty bonds, attained
under the stimulus Of an unusually
active market, emphasize the heavy
demand for these bonds in other
than in investment channels. Unlike
most bond issues Of an Industrial
and municipal variety, the market
supply Of liberty bonds Is dwindling
daily, since all bonds bought for
the British government and the
Federal Treasury sinking funds are
cancelled
An investment banker here esti-
mated that at least 100000 worth
par value Of Liberty AZ per cent
were needed a day to fill the re-
quirements Of these two buying
sources. The British government
pays about $4,000 900 a year TO
the United States Government In
its war debt refunding operation,
all Of its payments thus far being
made In the war bonds purchased
at discount in the open market.
Buying for the Treasury sinking
funds is estimated at $120,000,00O
| annually.
Should the Liberty bonds attain
a price level of par or better there

curing them for war debt refund
ing, and the buying demand for that
purpose would disappear. At 81 or
.9S there was q distinct advantage in
buying Liberty ANS, which were &C.
cepted by the Treasury at par. To-
day the price level is above SO, with
the third ANS ceiling at $3.50.
For the next two years investors
| Of moderate incomes, but payers of
| surfaces in some of the lower brack-
| cts, are likely to be attracted to the
| Liberty ANS, which are tax exempt
up to $4,000 for the individual
holder. In 1926 tax exemption, ex-
cePt for the first 31as, will apply
to holdings Of only $4,000 for the
individual.
Public offering was made today
Of an issue Of $2,750,O00 Interstate

NEW PORK, Jan. 26.-Heavy
buying Of various classes of indus
trial shares featured the first two
hours trading on the stock ex
change today. Stocks moved ahead
without much difficulty, many Of
them pushing to substantially high
or levels, and establishing new highs
on the current upswing. Sentiment
was optimistic, predictions being
freely made that the main body Of
stocks has definitely turned upward
again under the stimulate of easy
money, the bright prospects for tax
reductions and increasing industrial
activities, particularly in the steel
centers. M
An encouraging development was
the prominence given such repre-
sentative issues as steel common,
Baldwin and American Can, the
first named issue crossing 1O2 on
substantial buying in anticipation
Of another extra dividend at next
Tuesdays meeting. Bethlehem Steel
too went into new high ground at
66M, in response to the favorable
character Of the 1923 earning state
m0nt.
More evidence Of improvement In
the oil industry was found In an
other advance in Pennsylvania
crude oil prices. AS q result, rep
resentative petroleum shares moved
forward again. Marland and Phil
Lips being especially strong. Pan
American and Sinclair also showed
an improved position.
The rise in sugars and equip
ments gained further momentum,
the former being featured by a
new high in Cuban Cane preferred,
rejecting dividend possibilities and
the latter by a sharp run up IN
pressed steel car to go, q gain OF
about four points.
Corn products continued its sen
aational advance, getting above 1870
and rounding out a rise Of more
than twenty points within week
Famous Players and the chemicals
were under pressure.
With the exception Of good buy
Ing Of Lehigh Valley and Great
Northern preferred the latter in
recognition Of the encouraging pre-
lminary earning statement for 1928
the railroad list was devoid Of fea'
ture. The undertone, however, was
steady due to the favorable car
loading report for the second week
in January, showing an increase In
freight loadings of 1895 cars over
the previous week.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-More than
so per cent Of the copper consumed
in the worlds markets last year
was produced in the mines Of the
United States. In the mines Of the
second largest producer, south
America, capitalists Of this CONT
nent are 80 largely interested that
the production Of the famous red
metal may be classed as q distinctly
American industry.
OF the 1851 ,094 short tons Of cop
per used in world industry laEt
year. the United States contributed
834,467 tons; South America. $685..

whole; Japan, per cent; Mexico

There is only one thing wrong
with the copper market today, and
that il the retail price. Demand
from home and foreign sources is
excellent. Europe win take increas-
ing quantities as her finances i'm.
prove, while domestic public utilities
and building trades will require
enormous quantities this year and
next.
Early in 1923 copper producers
predicted 20-cent copper. Instead
the copper market has been scrap
ing bottom around IL to Is cents a
pound, at which price, 1t IL said
there IL very little profit for the
producers. Whether the firner
market prevailing this week is only
temporary furry or promise OF
the long expected improvement in
copper remains to be seen.
Many industrial concerns, which
are unusually flush with cash, arc
entering into competition with
banks In the big financial district
and offering call money at per
cent and less. It Is even whispered
in Wall Street that Henry Ford
has gent in few of his idle mil.
lions.
Neither the present plethora OF
funds, nor the activity OF indus.
trial companies in the caIl money
market are unusual, though It IL
not in every calendar year that in.
dustrial money can be spared for
temporary loans in the street, II
is the extraordinarily large sur.
plus that calls for comment. In a
few weeks. II precedent is followed
commerce and industry Will call in
the idle money for its own use, and
banks will again dominate the field
Ae a measure of financial
strength, q number OF prominent
railroad and industrial companies
tie themselves up as closely as pos
sible to combinations Of capital, as
represented in the Metropolitan
banking institutions.
Lines were tied more tightly this
week between the New York Gen.
trail railroad and First National
Bank Of New York, when A. H.
Smith, president Of the railroad,
was made a director of the bank.
while Jackson Reynolds, president
Of the bank, was elected to the rail-
roads directorate. George F. Baker,

Movement.

BERLIN, February 10. Foreign
a German peoples party meeting, de-
nounced the injustice with which he
said the Germans in the occupied ter
ritorfes had been treated and referred
particularly to recent events in the
Bavarian Palatinate.
The separatist movement had not
arisen in any way from the will of
the German people, he declared. The
very fact that such events could oc-
cur at all was proof Of the maShina-
lions Of Gen. De Metz, commander of
the right bank of the Rhine.
In 80 far as sterilization of condi-
tons for reconstruction was con-
cerned, nothing stood in the way ex-
cept the separation, almost accom-
plished by France, of the occupied
territories ..
