There was some selling of March

about to points net lower during
the early trading, with December de-

The market then steadied and there

few contracts for sale. Closing quo

NEW YORK, May 19.-The bond
market was almost at standstill in

changes. as a whole, were negligible.
Transfers totaled only $4,592 900,

since october %, last year. There
was a turnover of $7,041 900 on the
previous Saturday The average for
60 domestic corporate issues edged up
one-tenun uf point to 86.2. On the
week this average showed a gain of
nine-tenths of a point.
Aside from further indications that
steel production and some other in
duStrial lines were experiencing a
moderate let-down in activity, there
was little news that might have in
f1uenced dealings in the senior list.
Prime investment groups continued to
hold steady to firm course and the
few noticeable receSsions were suffered
by secondary liens.
Among gamers of fractions to
around a point or more were some

land, or city or suburban property,
has excited more sympathy in WASH
ington the last year than the unfor-
tunate who bought stocks when they
were too high and stih is plagued by
the cost of carrying them. The ad-
ministration is taking care that he will
not be made a victim of Wall Street in
the future, which does not aid him in
finding release from his present trou-
bleS
On the other hand, his neighbor,
who was equally reckless with his
money and bought land or houses at
twice or three times their real value,
is receiving all sorts of consideration
from the Federal Treasury. There is
scarcely a situation in which his kind
find themselves that has not been
made the basis of new law by Con-
gress to bail him of his excess cargo.
The latest proposal of the sort is
embodied in the suggested national
housing act. This has a place in the
scheme Of stimulating industry. for it
proposes to assist householders who
wish to make repairs to their prop
erty or to renoviZe them, at the same
time giving employment to a trade
that has suffered harsh treatment in
the past five years and is said to
count 3500,000 on its unemployed
list
The act also has a genuine value
IN that 1t sets Up department for
guaranteeing the shares and certifi-
Gates of building and loan associ-
atlons, thereby providing the holder
OF them with the same assurance of
payment that the bank depositor now
has on amounts up to S2,500. On the
other hand, the measure encourages
a duplication of effort and of aid that
is waSteful of Federal funds and
promises to develop a degree of po-
ntical patronage and incompetent
local management that featured the
early months of the Home Owners
Loan Corporation. Suggestive of this
overlapping of Government bureaus
was the announcement in New York
by the H. 0. L. c. management that
II was preparing to advance funds for
dwelling repairs under the home laid
program, maze within a few hours of
the Washington release of the housing
bill text.
There would appear to be sufficient
facilities available to accommodate
the individual who has a mortgaged
property at fair value without calling
IN the United States Treasury to as
Slst him. 1t is the business of banks
to make loans. No better paper is
today available to them than home
property reasonably appraised. 1t is
another thing for them to advance
capital for building construction. That
should be provided by some other
agency. 1t is in the same category
as loans to struggling or pioneer in
dustrles that will compose the port
1oilos OF the institutions selected for
this work under the Glass. bill.
