Home OlUners' Bonds
Are Unusually ActiDe
Banks Increase Purchases as Result Of Senate Action
in Guaranteeing Principal as Well as Interest

Trading in Home Owners Loan
corporation cighteen-year four per
cent bonds was on an unusually
active scale yesterday, according
to specialists in government Sc
curities, as a result of the action
taken by the senate late Wednes-
day to guarantee both principal
and interest on all future new is
sues of these bonds as soon as
President Roosevelt signs the
measure.
Savings and commercial banks,
as well as large estates have in
creased purchases of these securi-
ties substantially during the past
few weeks in anticipation of the
action taken by the senate. The
outstanding bonds, which went
begging last October at prices
around 82h, have advanced
steadily since then and were SELL
ing above par yesterday.
With both principal and interest
guaranteed, the firm states, new
Home Owners bonds will nat
urally become a more and more
important factor in the govern
ment bond section of the market.
as their investment rating is now
on a. par with outstanding Liber-
ties and treasury issues. The out
standing issues are expected to be
exchanged for new bonds as soon
as the new law becomes opera
tive, probably at some concession
as to interest rate.
At present, it is understood
some $650,000,O00 of the bonds
are outstanding and the total is
being added to at the rate of
about $5O,0O0,O00 weekly. This
total may be increased at a more
rapid rate, in the opinion of gov
eminent bond specialists, as the
bonds will be more readily sale
able now that principal as we'll as
interest is being guaranteed.

ton with a bill to give the Federal
Government increased power to super
wise the national oil industry continued
to occupy chief attention of the petro-
leum world, although prospective de-
velopments in the control situation III
Texas attracted much interest.
Texas oil men entertained widely
divergent views on the desirability of
more stringent regulation of petroleum
activities in the Lone Star State by a
central authority in Washington.
Many of them were in Washington
to present their respective attitudes to
congressional committees considering
the proposed legislation.
Failure of the bill to be placed on
the list Of must" legislation at a con-
ference between President Roosevelt
and Democratic congressional leaders
heartened opponents of the proposal.
Despite this, however, Representative
Disney Of Oklahoma, sponsor of the
control bill in the House, indicated he
would press hard for its passage.
A new enforcement weapon will be
available to regulatory forces at mid
night Saturday when a Federal tax
OF one-tenth of l per cent per barrel
becomes effective. State enforcement,
agencies will be given access to the tax
records of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau to check production reports with
tax payments.
Operators of refineries and natural
gasoline plants will be required to reg
lister with the revenue collector, while
purchasers of crude oil will be required
to keep records of purchases and dis
posal of petroleum coming into their
possession. Gasoline refinerS must
keep a daily record of receipts stocks
and disposition of crude and must list
its source.
