MUNICIPAL BONDS
STAGE COMEBACK
Prices Of Many Issues Swing
From Lowest to Highest
Levels in History.

No branch Of the securities business
has experienced greater changes with
in the last year than the municipal
bond field, says Frank H. Morse of
Lehman Brothers.
1.-THE financial recovery of cities
throughout the country has been ac-
companied by a swing in the prices
of many municipal bonds from the
lowest to the highest levels in their
history" he declares.
Tn the early months of the year
only municipal securities of the high
est grade were salable at any price
and there was literally no market for
second or third grade municipals." In
the latter part of 1884 some of the
high-grade municipaS were selling
above United States Government Sc
curities, while certain second and third
grade bonds had recovered from so
cents on the dollar to around par.
Municipalities with unimpaired credit
standing were able to borrow at record
low interest rates.
1.-THE causes underlying this rise
have been based not only on an i'm
provement in the intrinsic value Of the
securities, money market conditions
and the scarcity Of other new issues
Of securities, but also on the very real
Improvement In the financial position
of municipalities throughout the
country"
Evening star., 1934-12-31

continued strong market for high
grade bonds in the foreseeable future.
This is so by reason of, first, the in
creasing pressure of institutional
money seeking safe investment and,
second, the clear intention of the
Roosevelt administration to use Gov
ernment powers as a leverage on in
terest rates.
"The effects of Government action
are difficult to forecast until the nature
of the actions is known. At the
year end, for example, investors are
confronted with major uncertainties
as to the budget and the kind of bank
ing legislation which the administra-
ton will sponsor. The probabilities
are that the President will try to
pursue a middle -the-road budget
policy, meaning broad discretion as
to expenditures with an expressed in
tent to use them only to the extent
necessary to meet urgent social and
political problems. AS to banking
legislation, the probabilities favor
broader Government powers, operat-
ing through the Federal Reserve
Board, to initiate credit policies such
as those governing open market opera
tions and rediscount rates.
IF the first assumption, as to the
budget, is correct, the President should
be able to prevent an early develop
ment of a fear-inflation psychology
of a magnitude that would seriously
undermine the bond market. If the
second assumption is justified, it
means that the Government would be
preparing the ground for a lotation,
at the earliest possible moment, of
long-term bonds at interest rates sub
stantially under those now obtaining.
"Of course, the foregoing analysis
can at any time be temporarily upset
by threatened congressional action
and can be almost permanently
modified If it appears that the Gov
ernment's expenditure program has
got out of control"

EXPECTS BUSINESS
TO BE MORE EVEN
Dr.. Lionel Edie Believes Changes
Will Be Less Pronounced
During Next Year.
b. the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 31.-Busi-
ness should ride on a more even keel
in 1885, DR.. Lionel Edie, well known
Wall Street economist, said in sur
veying the outlook for the New Year.
Pointing out that 1884 saw sharp
swings up and down in the economic
field primarily because of the drought
and the punching of steel orders in the
second quarter to avoid a price in
crease, DR.. Edie felt that with such
factors out of the way. the 1885 Spring
peak in business should be less pro-
nounced and the Summer slump less
exaggerated.
A collapse in the gold bloc cur
rencies some time in the new year is
seen by this business observer as a
major possibility. How equilibrium
can be brought about without devalua-
ton of the franc, it Is difficult to see, !"
he said.
"The general expectation of indus
trialists is for a fairly good physical
volume, but whether they will be able
to earn as much profit as In 1884 is a
question upon which they feel great
uncertainty. This Is due to she fear
of rising costs. The coming Congress
Is not expected to tighten that fear. ."
Whether further currency manipu-
lation will be resorted to in 1885, In
DR.. Edie's opinion, will depend pri-
marily on whether the year witnesses
the beginning of a. recovery cycle in
the capital goods industries.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 31-Cot-

to S higher on trade and foreign buy
ing. January, 1888; March, 12.71;
May, 1890; July, 1894; October,
1859; December, 1875.
January was held back by some
liquidation brought out by the issu-
ance of few additional notices, while
later deliveries were generally'2 to 5
points higher at the start.
Liverpool, the continent and Bonn
bay were reported among the early
buyers, but the advance which carried
May and July contracts to the highest
prices since last September met con-
siderable realizing. There was also
some selling of October, believed to be
against operations in pool cotton. This
was sufficient to supply the initial de-
mand, and business tapered of slightly
after the call, with prices reacting a
few points from the best.
March, after selling up to 1912, re-
acted to 1859, while october eased off
from 1859 to IL "a, with active months
ruling net unchanged to 2 points
higher at the end of the first half

Steel Conditions
Regarded as Best
In Recent Years

CLEVELAND, December 31.-As
1885 approaches, conditions in the
steel industry and in general busi-
ness appear more favorable for a
measure of recovery than in any re-
cent year, Tom M. Girdler, chairman
and president, Republic Steel Co., de-
clared in a Year-end statement.
How far this recovery will CO."
Girdler declared, will depend largely
on the extent to which returning
confidence stimulates long-term in
vestment and increasing activity in
the capital goods industries"
"a hopeful sign," he said, ''has al
ready appeared in the expansion Of
orders for machine tools and various
kinds of equipment, evidence that
manufacturers are planning increased
activities. 1t is my opinion that such
plans are well justified"

TO PRODUCTION GAINS

"Reo Motor Car Co.'s production
gains in 1884, and its strong financial
position, stand out impressively when
compared with the progress made by
the industry as a whole during the
year." says George L. Brown, secre-
tary-treasurer.
"Total output of passenger cars and
speedwagons during the year just
ended, showed a gain Of 66 per cent
over 1888 and 1877 per cent over 1882.
''Reo is in a splendid position to
take advantage of an enlarged mar

the highest in the industry"

''It is estimated that sales for
the first half of 1885 will exceed
even this amazing comeback.
Approximately 4,700, 900 radio
receivers of all types will have
been sold during 1894 thus es-
tablishing an all-time record for
