BEHIND The
TICKER

NEW YORK - When the Ger
man-Polish war broke out fears
were rife that easy money condi-
lions would go. But of late there
has been a better demand for
prime bonds. The reversal of opin-
ion is ascribed to the fact that
liquidation didn't upset the mar
ket much. Moreover-the strength
displayed by high-grade common
shares gives proof there's a lot OF
investment money around. With
the government again borrowing
large sums at low yields. bond
buyers are regaining confidence.
Safety-Recent easy tone In the
British currency isn't because OF
Nazi AFRAID bombing threats.
The dip in market price Is aseribed
to Japan switching its New York
sterling balances into dollars.
A sharp dip In the value of the
British pound would have upset
the already weakened economic
structure of Japan. That's why
she quit sterling and pegged the
yen TO the dollar. II was 9 case
Of safety first.
