Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, September 4.-The
brightest spot in the financial situation
just now Is the bond market. 1t is a
matter Of record that certain number
of bonds have registered new high
prices for the year every market day
for al least three weeks
The list includes municipal, railroad
and public utility issues. Many of them
now are selling close to the maximum
levels reached in 1928 and the general
average Of bonds is higher than at any
time last year.
Advance Continues.
The rise has been extraordinary in
that. normally, the period from May to
September Is the poorest OF the year
and prices generally reach their lowest
levels during July and August for sea-
sonal reasons. In contrast with that
tradition bonds this year advanced dur
ing both those months and now in VIC
first week OF September continue their
advance There is every prospect that
they will rise with increasing momen-
tum right up 70 the end OF the year
because the last four months OF the
year normally are a period OF advancing
bond prices. Last year was an excep-
ton on account OF the abnormal condi-
tons then existing. -
So far the demand for bonds has
converged Ola the highest grade issues
in the three groups mentioned. IN
dustriai bonds have not participated In
the rise to any important degree. while
buying of foreign bonds has been spotty
French government bonds recently sold
at new high record prices, but they are

in the neighborhood Of the small courses
has grown tremendously, and this has
helped to carry the advance in property
values toward the suburb, where I'M
occupied ground Is more readily avail
able. The tops would be spread over
galvanized iron frame work with
mechanism to roll and unroll the can
vas according to the weather conditions.
It is pointed out by Mr.. Lockwood that
one reason the 1880 season has been so
profitable was because there was less
rainfall than IN any OF the previous SIS
years. It Is estimated that the annual
overhead of an advantageously situated
course ranges from $4,000 TO $4,000
year. Many thousands of people are
employed, and q change which would
keep the courses in operation the year
ment to these.

1t seems improbable, because OF the
plethora of funds seeking investment
and the low rate of interest yielded on
short-term loans. that the wide spread
of l to more than 2 per cent between
highest grade bonds and those OF sec
ond grade will continue long. The his
tory of movements in the bond market
shows that eventually the relatively at
tractive yields from second-grade Sc
curities lure investors. AS matter Of
fact, some of the largest investment
banking organizations in Wall Street
report that they already discern signs
that investors are switching from the
highest grade securities into those OF
somewhat lesser rating, but which re-
turn more liberal yields.
One handicap the bond market has
to contend with Is the persistent indif-
ference of large and small individual
investors who deserted secured invest
mentS for stocks last year. Factors in
the bond market in the old days, they
do not count for much nowadays.
Eventually 1t Is expected that many
of these investors will re-enter the bond
market because of the uncertainty sur
rounding stocks. The public Is in a
chaStened state of mind and not easily
lured into speculative securities after
last years punishment. Stocks now
offer attractive incomes. A recent analy-
sis reveals that 191 dividend-paying
stocks yield between and per cent, 88
others return 10 per cent and 90 pay
more than 10 per cent at present prices.
while, of course, a large proportion of
1,200 other listed stocks pay nothing
In comparison with 4.40 return on
high-grade bonds such returns are gen.
erous, indeed. High yields on stocks, in
periods of low money rates, are. of
course, suspicious. They are recognition
of the precarious dividend status OF
many corporations.

HEAVY INVESTMENT DEMAND
PROVES SPUR TO BOND PRICES

foreign loans. Second grade bonds Of
all descriptions are behind the market
The failure of securities of the lower
ratings to participate in the movement
is ascribable in the main to the fact
that the buying of bonds is largely in
stitutional In character. Savings banks,
insurance companies and trustees OF
estates, as is we'll known. are restricted
by law in their investments. 1t is en-
tirely natural. therefore. that the rise
should be confined to the high-grade
securities eligible for such investors,
while non-legal and second grade in
yestments generally should lag behind.
SeIective Buying.
As an outcome of the selective char
acter of the buying the spread between
high-grade bonds and second-grade
issues has widened. The average yield
on high%grade bonds, as compiled by a
statistical service, is approximately 4.40
per cent, while many other well secured
bonds which. however, are outside the
legal division. sell to yield from 5la
to 6ia per cent

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, September 4 (P).-Hedg-
ing sales and scattered liquidation
caused all deliveries of wheat to sell
at new low prices for the season today.
Weakness of wheat quotations at Win
nipeg and a slow foreign demand for
North American wheat had consider
able influence over price trends in
Chicago September wheat sold at 81
cents a bushel This is within cents
bushel of the low price established
in 1914, and except for that one year,
is the lowest price paid here since
1907, when wheat sold for 78% cents
bushel. Buying against bids and
covering by short sellers checked the
decline. Corn eased in sympathy with
wheat. Crop reports received little at
tention from traders.
