NEW YORK, May 29.-The features
or thu last week in tl.a financial sit
rGtion have been the continued low
rates for money. the maintenance of
high prices for investment securities,
a moderate upward tendency In
stocks and uncertain luctuations i'm
the commodity and exchange markets.
The time is past when low money
exerts a stimulating effect upon bond
values, the yield on prime invest
ments has become SO low that there
is no longer any active demand.
Offerings Of the higher grade bonds
and the higher grade investment
stocks are readily taken around cur
rent prices. but there is no disposition
to bid them up any further. In Il
word. the investment market has ad-
justed itself to the low money market
and to the prospects of money con-
ditions continuing Indefinitely the way
they are now.
investment capital has to be content
with a low return unless it cares to
take chances. 1T lis wonderful time
for the financing of new issues of
unquestioned rank. But it is not the
time for futher attempt such as
was made last Autumn and during
the early Winter to interest new
capital in the stocks of untried enter.
prises. The public was badly hit in
the radio explorations and it has not
forgotten the experience. 1t will be
a long while, the prediction may be
ventured before Wall Street houses
attempt anything similar
The stock market had an extlaordi-
nary advance between the middle Of
September and the middle of January.
1t lost a good part of the ground
gained from the end of January to the
start Of May. Tremendous losses were
encountered on the way down. The
reaction involved in many instances
the undoing Of nearly all the previous
rise.
Stocks Now in Strong Hands.
But it did have the result of putting
stocks in stronger hands. The liquida-
ton ran its course, d large short in
terest was built up. and the feature
during the last two weeks has been
that professional traders, sensing this
change, have been working on the
side Of advance. Outside participation
has been small. Pools in individual
issues, recognizing that there is no
further selling Of importance. have
become more active. It has been a
rising market. yet a market strictly
in professional hands.
Speculation for rising prices was
overdone six months ago. The sub
seauent reaction probably went too
far, and what the market is going
through now Is an interval of read
justment. The whole Wall Street po-
sition depends upon business develop
ments. The easy money condition has
little TO do with calculations. Where
individual trade conditions like those
in sugar and copper are not favorable
