the timely and extremely important
subject of unemployment
In addition, prominent Senators and
representatives and heads of various
Federal bureaus have appeared as
Forum speakers. The subjects they have
discussed have extended over a wide
range of public issues, from tariff to
prohibition.
The tremendous appeal and educa-
tional merit of the Forum have been
reflected in the thousands of letters
received from persons in all walks of
life and from every section of the coun-
try. Squaws on Oklahoma's Indian re-

BOND MARKETING
TREND IS CHANGING
Corporations Scanning Costs
OF Distributing Securities
and 0uSting MiddIeman.

New trends are making themselves
apparent in the distribution OF invest
ments throughout the United States.
There is a distinct tendency by corpora
tons to handle the distribution of Thur
own bond and stock issues rather thai
place them in the hands of under
writer's, who in turn parcel them out
to investment bankers throughout the
country for retail sales.
Corporations nowadays are locking
chiefly at costs and see no reason Why
they should receive less for their security
issues than the public pays for them.
Inc middleman rs gradually being
eliminated in other forms of distribu-
ton and large corporations feel that
similar processes can be applied to new
financing.
Watched by Treasury.
Treasury officials privately have noted
this trend and are watching it closely,
although no official notice is being taken
OF 1t. Many of the Treasury officials
state privately that they expect this
investment style to grow in popularity
at least through the remainder of this
year.
The move has made itself apparent
through the emphasis placed by large
corporations such as General Motors.

trio, Swift g. Co., and Cities Service,
on the number Of employe and customer
stockholders on their books. AS the
list OF stockholders grows, the list of
prospects for new investments is also
growing. These investors are fully con-
versant with the affairs of the company
and are more than half sold before q

Recent surveys Of the employee owner
snip situation show plainly that the
policy did not suffer any setback as q
| result OF the market crises of 1929 and
1880. This conclusion follows a syste-
matte check-up by the National Indus
trial Conference Board. In scores Of
cases new issues have been snapped up
by employees. Some have been heavily
oversubScribed. In the last year only
four of the $50 large corporations enl-
phasiz1ng the employe ownership policy
discontinued this plan. The strength
OF the utility. companies is a standing
monument today to customer stock
ownership.
Holding Onto Investments.
Despite the heavy fall in security
values, customer stockholders and en-
ploye stockholders have shown little
desire to rid themselves of their invest
ments. In general, the conclusion among
| hnanceers Is that employee shareholders
buy their stock with the intention Of
holding 1t and subscribe for additional
stock as opportunity offers and their
situation permits.
| Many bankers hold that the trend
toward direct placing of investment Is
due in no small part to the popularity
OF stock as compared with bond financ-
ing in recent years. They anticipate
return to the older system when bonds
advance and again become more popular,

BOND LIST FIRM;
BEST ISSUES GAIN
Trading DWindIeS, With Most
of Securities Performing
in Indifferent Manner.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE bond mar
ket maintained a firm trend today, with
best grade corporation issues reapinQ
the most benefit. The rest of the list
performed indifferently and as trading
dwindled, it appeared that the listed
market might close the short week to-
morrow with little to its credit in the
way of constructive improvement.
Signs of quickened interest of banks
gained support from the monthly report
of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, showing that with business de-
manding less credit, member banks are
shifting funds to bank investments.
The reserve reports that the increase
in investments of member banks during
recent months, although following the
general tendencies of previous periods,
has not been SUFFICIENT to equal the
liquidation of commercial loans nor has
it been as large as the increase in in
veStments in previous years of business
receSSionS, and has not yet reached the
volume of two years ago. Percentage
OF investments to total loans and in
vestment OF reporting banks was IS per
cent in June, 1880, as compared with
20 per cent in June, 1929, and q per
cent in June, 1924.
A firm trend was apparent among
best grade railroads, utility and in
dustrial bonds, but the accumulations
were not extensive. Missouri Pacific
IS, National Dairy 5As and Great
Northern rs were among the more &C
tive issues which improved.
Convertible issues moved higher in
sympathy with stocks. Internationa
Telephone 4 12s gained points. Read
ing Coal & Iron IS rose more than 1
Foreign bonds were fairly stable. Aus
tralian and Finnish bonds were mod.
erately active at yesterdays CLOSING
prices. Japan 61as improved. Most OF
the European government issues were
quiet.
United States Governments attracted
little attention and were irregularly
lower.
