Fourth Liberty 4As and First
Liberty 4Ks were in new high
ground for the year at lola
and 1913, respectively, 49, while
Treasury 4 per cent certificates
accorded a new high at 108.30.
Outstanding feature in the rail
road group was a transaction Of
Chicago and North Western rail-
way convertible 424 per cent
bonds at par, involving $1,000, 900
and constituting one OF the
largest individual transactions in
the history of bond trading on
the stock exchange.
Southern railway consolidated

Pacific Is IA points and Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific general IS

Further improvement was re-
corded in the stock privilege

current year amounted to $1,163,-
333,344, only $11O,000,00O behind
the figure for the same period
of 1928, and less than 100000
900 under the 1927 figure, accord.
ing to the Daily Bond Buyer.
For the month of November,
volume of new issues was small,
the total being $62, 676, 025 against
$122,346,113 for October, and
,824,O70 for November. last

Borrowing by States and mu-

believes, basing its opinion on the
improved status of the bond mar

Hoover to stimulate business by
speeding up public Improvement
