Weekly Bond Review

New York, Mar. 81. (AP)-Bond
trading activity subsidized last week
colncident with a contraction D. the
volume of new finar cling The down
ward drift of prices indicated that
the market was undergoing a sec
ondary reaction, although it was by
no means so severe as the setback
received earlier in the month. Bus
mess tapered off on the decline, Civ
ing trade a colorless appearance.
The markets loss of animation came,
strangely, at a time when money con-
ditions were turning distinctly easier.
Following the large turnover of funds
on March Is, large supplies of both
call and time money were available at
the lowest rates in several months,
and sharp reduction in brokers' loans
for the week ended March 10 indicated
that recent stock market liquidation
was cutting the demand for funds
from that quarter.
These signs were welcomed in bond
circles, where 1t was realized that the
traditional operations would be derived
from easier money. If dwindling
trade throws much idle cash into the
market, investment experts indicated
that it was likely to find employment
through the purchase of both new and
listed bonds. The succession of $780,
100000 weekly offering this year, it
was learned, had left several large
blocks of bonds awaiting investment
distribution. Even the 500, GOO, 900
Italian loan, which was sold last No
vember, has not been fully absorbed
by the public, requiring the extension
Of the banking syndicate for another
60 days.
Two developments appeared last
week to cloud the European outlook
the failure of the league of nations to
put into practical operation the wide
ly commended program for a new Bel
gian Sterilization loan because of an
internal controversy over that coun-
try's financial plans. The weakness
of both French and Belgian currencies
had a further depressing effect.
International bankers at present are
in London awaiting an opportunity to
discuss the Belgian financing, includ-
ing a long term sterilization loan of
100000 or more, as we'll as an extern
sion Of temporary credits totalling
about $50. 000 Revaluation of the
Belgian franc on gold basis will be
an integral part of the plan and it is
considered probable that its value will
be fixed around four cents instead of
a., the rate at which it had been
pegged until recently.

low $60,009.000 compared with ST.
