Special Dispatch to The star.
CHICAGO, January 4.-That 81 per
cent of the investment bankers of the
United States look forward to improved
conditions In the bond market during
1880 and that so per cent Of such in
situations have already enjoyed SUBJ
stsntial increases in business is indi-
Gated, by a summary of replies to a
QUESTIONABLE sent out by Lawrence
stern & Co., investment bankers OF
Chicago and New York, to more than
1000 investment institutions through
out the United States,
Although the majority of security
dealers foresee an active and rising
bond market in 1880, the replies to the
QUESTIONABLE indicate belief in finAr1-
ciA circles that the investment mar
ket in the future will be better bal
arced between stocks and bonds than
heretofore: The majority believe that
widespread public interest in invest
ment stocks has become a permanent
feature of the securities markets. but
that. at the same time, there will be
renewed and increasing interest in
bonds.
One of the interesting features
brought out through this survey is the
territorial distribution of the improve
ment in the bond market which has
taken place since the STOCK market
break. The brightest spot in the Ma
ton from the standpoint Of the bond
dealer, according to the replies tabu-
lated. is found in New England. where
nearly SO per cent of those reporting
state that their business in bonds has
increased 100 per cent Next to New
England in percentage OF improvement
In bond sales is the South. particularly
the Richmond and Atlanta Federal Re
serve districts. New York and the Pa
ctdc Coast report a fair measure of
Improvement, while lesser degree Is
noted in the Chicago and st. Louis ter
ritories. The smallest percentages OF
Improvement are shown in the Cleys-
land and Minneapolis Federal ReserIg
districts.

NEW YORK, January 4.-The bond

Turnovers involved only few bonds.

SEWARD LOGICAL CENTER DISTRIBUTION
 FARM PRODUCTS
H. w. ALBERTS, ALASKA AGRON- ONIST, POINTS WAY ESTAB-
 LISHING LOCAL INDUSTRY

In one of the most important talks before the local chamber body in months, H. w. AlbertS, AL aSka agronomist, Department oF Agriculture, outlined clear-cut plan for the establishment at this point of a storage warehouse for Alaska grown potatoes, crop which can be grown cheaper in AL aska and sold here, than that inn ported from the states.
 A resume of pr. Albert's speech follows:
 Seward is the logical center of distribution for agricultural pro ducts. With the present outlook of agricultural development certain kinds of farm crops will be produc- ed on a commercial basis. One Of the crops is potatoes. Heretofore little effort has been made to mar ket the crop systematically Farm CTS would grow potatoes and tried to sell them to merchants or sell them to consumers and obtained such prices as they could for them Merchants bought some potatoes from farmers but the greater per- centage of the quantity consumed was shipped from the states.
 ITO remedy this situation a po- tato storage house, operated by a wholesale potato dealer, is needed at point most favorably located for distributing the product in AL aska.
