BOND BUYING

In accordance with the policy
adopted by the system, Federal
Reserve Bank purchases of
Government securities have been
reduced sharply in the last few
weeks from the average of
$10O,000,000 which prevailed for
six weeks after April 6.
During the June % week
purchases of Government Securi-
ties amounted to $4,000, 900,
bringing total holdings to $1,730,.
100000. That marked an in
crease of $1.111,0 100000 for the
year. During the week of June
IS $47,000,000 in Government
securities were purchased, and
$70,000.000 in the June s week.

Par Bond Ruling to Check
Security Liquidation

would have dumped securities to-
ward the end of the month which
is also the end of the quarter
when they have to report, and
when a good cash position is a
decided advantage.
The State banking depart
ment's ruling on bond holdings
of banks is similar to that of the
insurance department and will
work in the same manner. In
addition, the decision to allow
them to value stocks held as col.
lateral at the average price Of
last year is also of considerable
importance in that it Obviates
liquidation in that market where
1t most usually causes . Sympa-
thetic reaction in bonds.
U. S. Bonds Disappoint
One of the disappointing fea.
lures of the bond market was the
failure of the Government group
to push ahead and maintain their
gains under the stimulus of the
lowered rediscount rate.
Offerings of new bonds tapered
off this week with a total of
$13,32l 900 being placed on the
market. This compares with $685.
100000 marketed last week and
$187, ,759,000 year ago.
Measured by the averages the
market closed last night at 1922,
on the DoW-JoneS averages,

however, a decrease of IS per cent
from the same week a year ago.
