New York, June 2S-The Ameri-

discusses the effects of imitation
talk on the bond market as follows
in its July issue:
Business, stocks, commodities
and sentiment have not, in their
recent impressive recovery, outdis-
tanced the bond market. Prices
and trading volume have risen
substantially, and, after a lapse OF
several weeks, new municipal Is

have drawn sustenance from many
sources, not the least important of
which is that portion of the spec
ulative fraternity able to see

advancing bond prices when the

the ground they yielded with little
show Of fight in the afterpart of
1882. The more depressed the
bond the greater its speculative
appeal has been and the sharper
its rise. While from the years
lows a representative selection of
bonds has recovered about II per
cent, the second grade issues have
gone up IS per cent or more. 1t
should be noted that the acuter
phase of this rally has occurred
since President Roosevelt with
drew the gold base from the dollar
and launched the currency on an
untraveled sea disturbed by infia-
tionary proposals.
ut is orthodox for bond prices
to decline at the first mention of
imitation. The price of most issues
has acted differently at this time
because of the possibility that a
rise in prices might, even II only
temporarily. help earnings and tax
collections, making the payment OF
bond interest more certain and de-
faults less likely. If the adminis-
tration had begun consorting with
the inflationists when bond prices
were more nearly normal and re-
fiected chiefly the cost OF money, a
violent decline in market values of
bonds most certainly would have
ensued. The infiationary maneu-
vers were staged, however, when
bond prices were at record low lev
els, SO that the normal response
was not to be expected. Yet. while
infiationary gestures may help a
severely Debated bond market, a
definite limit is set on the recov-
cry. 1t is improbable that the
bond market will become genuinely
and sustainedly robust again until
the administration has put infia-
ton behind 1t and has given that
secure and stable base to the cur
rency that is indispensable to fixed
interest investing"

Real Estate Survey

Real estate is of more interest to more people than any other form of investment in this country. It is more intimately connected with their lives. It surpasses even life insurance in importance, because life insurance itself rests, for it's security, so much on land and buildings. And real estate, a severyone knows, is in a serious plight.
 It is reassuring, therefore, to find plans going forward at Washington for na- tional real estate inventory with an ample Public Works allotment for the purpose. This survey is expected to cover 50 or more cities. It will be directly concerned with the construction problem, seeking to find what the requirements are for hous' ing and proposing plans for their fulfill ment. It may turn it's attention also to industrial and other building require ments. The survey might we'll be extend ed to cover rural areas, too.
 This kind of inquiry is good economic strategy The fortunes of real estate it. self - the permanent source and founda- ton of wealth = depend very largely on the improvement of land with buildings. The fortunes of general industry at the present time, economists agree, depend very largely on getting the construction industry into action again, because that stimulates other industries while 1t re- wives land values. City houses and apart ments are valuable for this purpose, along with their social function of providing better homes for our people. So are farm houses.

his own interests ahead of Che interests of his stockholders; or for e Mitchell, who introduced high-pressure salesmanship to the world of banking; or for any one of half dozen other financiers, who easily might be named, who collected enormous sums of peddling worthless bonds to their countrymen.
 It certainly would have very little room for a system which placed the farmer at the mercy of the money lender, and kept depressing his income at the same time that it boosted the price of his necessities. It might not have room for an industrial leadership which was responsible for some of the coal-and-iron towns of the eastern mountains; it is very hard to see how 1t would tolerate some of the deeds of the coal-and-iron police.
 Nor, by the same token, would it be able to use labor leader who had been grad uated to his job from the ranks of the racketeers. You easily can go on for yourself and think of other things that hardly would fit in an era of social control for the common good. And when you get through, you will realize that this new yardstick could cause lot of changes if it were applied strictly. So the big question now is: How are we going to use it?
