With the sale late last week OF

Detroit bonds the last of the
S51, 157, 900 offering had been
placed by the syndicate, thus
marking the successful compile
ton OF one Of the most impor-
tant refundings in recent
months.
Interest was keen not only be-
cause of the question as 10
whether the market would be
able TO assimilate an offering of
this size but because of the un-
usual procedure which more
closely resembled corporate
financing practices.
Although it was stated that
about half of the issue had been
placed on the day the issue
reached the market-May THE
outflow tapered off sharply
shortly afterward. However, at
no time did demand dry up COM
