MURPHY COMPANY NOTES
GROWTH OF UTILITIES

Despite the increasing dificulty of
finding new customers for electric DOW

atlng In this field have consistently
shown their ability to increase output
by creating greater domestic per capita
consumption and by finding new In

nightly review.
Since 1882, according to the review,

poses has shown an unbroken success

NEW BOND ISSUES
IMPEDE ADVANCES
Market Gives Good Account
OF Itself During Week,
However.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 15.-Despite
continued easy money rates, bond
prices failed to advance during the
past week. Indeed, many issues
dropped off considerably from their
levels Of the week before
This was partly attributable to the
fact that once again the market had
a large amount of new offerings to
absorb and partly to the slow but
steady progress of stocks which has
attracted many investors back to the
equity market, where, they believe,
they can more quickly recover what
they lost last Fall.
Nevertheless, bond dealers agree, the
market is hardly the gauge of its own
soundneSs. Since the beginning of the
year over $500, 900 900 of new financing
has come into sight, all but very
small proportion of it in bonds. The
easiness of money rates has brought
out many issues that had been hanging
fire, some of them since before last
October's break in stock prices. Hence,
tributing about $130,000,000 per week.
apart from transactions from and into
outstanding issues.
Bond Buying Larger.
1t is quite evident, then, that even
If the public has not made the re-
spouse in the bond market that many
expected of it, after what stocks did at
the end of the last year, there is a ire
mendous amount of bond purchasing
going on. True, some of the issues
have moved slowly, notably many of the
municipals, but others have moved
swiftly. A huge slice of this buying
comes from insurance companies and
savings banks. These institutions have
not been buying as many municipals
as usual, and are reported as big pur-
chasers of railroad, public utility and
real estate mortgages.
The whole municipal market has
been affected by the Chicago situation,
although some reinsurance was given
by the statement Of New York's f1nan-
cial position. It is pointed out that
municipal loans in this country now

Foreign Group.
In the foreign division the feature
was the ease with which new flotations
were distributed. In addition to a
$12,900,000 European electric corpora
ton limited 81 per cent debentures
with stock warrants, which went well
at par, there was stock issue of 14O.-
600 shares of General italian Edison
Electric Corporation. The latter were
also moved out rapidly at price OF

CUT IN RED|SCOUNT
RATES IS NOTABLE
Complete Harmony Revealed
Between Reserve Board
and Member Banks.
Special Dispatch TO The star.

NEW YORK, February 15.-The CO.
conditions easy throughout the country
eral Reserve system in making credit
conditions easy throughout the country,
as an aid to business recovery, is Illus
trated In the reduction Just made in the
rediscount rate of the Kansas City Re-
serve Bank from Az to 4 per cent.
rms brings it down to parity with
the major financial centers of New
York. Chicago and Boston.
The SwiftneSS with which the whole
complexion of the rediscount situation
has changed in the last few weeks Is
one OF the most notable incidents in the
domestic banking world. Preyiously
there has been considerable resistance
to establishing either the minimum or
the maximum rates adopted by the New
York Federal Reserve Bank.
Unanimity Of Action Seen.
That center so unlike those affected
primarily by stock market transactions
should come into line with the official
money rate in the latter is ample evil
dence that the Federal Reserve Board
is now dealing with unanimity of
action among its members, which is in
contrast with the attitude prevailing
just year ago when the fight was on
for higher rates In New York.
The reserve ratio of the twelve Fed
eral Reserve banks shown in their re-
ports on Thursday, which was as Of
February IL, was about 78 per cent.
This compared with slightly under 70
per cent year ago. While the banks
In the system as a whole showed ap-
proximately the same total of bills dis
counted as the week previous, the New
York bank indicated an increase of
nearly $25,000,000. Kansas City now
has reserve ratio Of 816 per cent,
which is the highest of all Of the IL
regional institutions with the exception
OF San Francisco, whose ratio is above
80 per cent.
Another Rate Cut Likely.
In the past. week the discounted bills
of the Pacific Coast bank dropped from
$20,772,000 to $10,004,0 900. 1t would
not be surprising If another reduction
were soon announced in the rediScount
rate of the San Francisco bank.
Minneapolis has the smallest total of
rediscounts of any of the IL banks, the
figure currently being $2,457 900. St.
Louis, whose rate was the last to stand
at S per cent and was reduced to Az
per cent on Monday, shows discounts
of 1919, 900, or slight increase over
til. previous week. Dallas has the low
est reserve ratio of any of the member
institutions, 581 per cent with bills
discounted, 1,097 900. Atlanta and
Richmond show reserve ratios, respec-
lively, of Ill and 1875 per cent.
