NEW YORK, June 6.-The high
grade bond market through recent
weeks of highly disturbing develop
ments has proved itself impervious
to influences. Trading in this cate
CORY of securities has continued
strictly an exchange of dollars, the
buyer seeking some slight measure

merely liquidating into cash for one
reason or another.
The buyers limit in most cases
has been fixed by the call pro-
visions of any particular bond. On
non callable issues the limit has
been merely to obtain shade bet
ter than the low money rates.
This is a situation that has per-
sisted because the aggregate of this
years financing operations, with
only a meager call for actually new
funds, has made scarcely a dent on
accumulated investment money that
can't find a job. According to in
formation heard around bond
houses, idle funds in the hands of
large investment sources have been
piling up since buying of govern
ments has fallen off.
That decline has been dictated
largely by disposition to await
definite indication of the shape
which the Treasury's major flnanc-
ing of the summer will assume.

Utilities i'm Balance

One or two bold attempts are
being made to convince the bond
trading fraternity that the sky is
clearing for public utilities. The
Supreme Courts invalidation of the
NRA was used to the utmost as an
argument to dispel fear of anything
drastically effective at the hands of
the federal government. This led
to a show of strength for utility
issues. even holding company bonds.
at time when it became conspicu-
Gus because of hesitancy and recess
sion in other speculative groups.
Conservative elements, however.
show little inclination to take any
thing for granted with respect to
public utility legislation. They def
initely consider that the future Of
utility holding companies is still
in the balance, with no sound rea-
son for jumping to over-o optimistic
conclusions.
