Investors of largo wealth wlU continue to look eecurltlea to entirely Coincident with announcement of the new government leeue waa renewed weakrailroad investness in the high-grament bonds. This wee generally explained as directly due to tho competition inevitable under the clreum Otari oee. That Is if an . States obligation of tho United for twenty-fiv- e years give tho of obligation of 5 return per cent, a private corporation no matter how well secured, ought to give more than 4,60 per cent. It must be admitted that the course of quotation bears out this theory.' There however, possibility always remains, that the decline In the price of tho cor porate bond is duo to tho same cause that Induced the secretary to offer to high a rate on his new issue. The primary consideration In both Caere may have been tho money market. It must also be borne in mind that the high Point in the bond market was reached a long time before anything definite was known about the governments Jnten tiona. pt de non-ealla- 4.-- for ouch' reprecentstlva Quotations bonds as Atchison General 4s, Chicago Burlington 4k Quincy general 4a sne br.ion Pacific land grant 4s reached their highest la July. It was about this tims also that the weekly statement of the ISO bonks of tbs federal reserve system began to show for the first time In over a year, a decline in investment and an increase in commercial loans. Changes were very email for a number of weeks The significant thing waa the feet that the tide had turned. The meaning of ail this as to business is very plain. Reviving trade demands more money for Its legitimate use. Banks which, during the period of depression, bad emploved their idle funds In the pur. chase of investment securities, began to liquidate when the needs of their custom ert for accommodation began to Increase, bo there Is nothing in the course of the bond market which should not be sneour-egtn- g rather than disoour aging to those anxious to see improvement in general commercial activity. Nor has thers been to any other development In the week i of moderate the elowly reviving optimism the average merchant There is one department of the bond market in which neither the money market nor speculation as to the business outlook ie the governing Influence. Foreign government issues ere subject to an entirely different kind of control. This is particularly true of the obligations of nations of continental Europe.

They are low in relation to everything else. They sore low In relation to what were the prices of farm products even before the war. These prices mean a severe strain for the farmer. With" suclrjJrices aAthese. The fanner feels that he cannot afford to hire the help he meeds, and that he must get along without tbs things iif the wav of farm machinery and other supplies that ha wnouid like to buy. Th consuming power of th farmer, his capacity to buy products mads In the city, is at a low ebb. Ths merchants who sell to the farmer know this as well as the farmer himself. In th farm districts, when you talk to th local dealers in ths small towns, who supply the farmer with reapers, mowers, fertiliser, lumber, coal and the like, they ail tell you that they ar carrying th farmer on their books to a degree not often equaled before. The situation is such that these dealers try to avoid extending any more credit to the fanner, and try to persuade him of what every prudent farmer knows, namely, that It is risky for him to go further into debt. Thoughts Turn to Credit. Whenever this condition exists th fanner tends to turn to thoughts of money and currency. He begins to think In terms of cheap, money. He recalls the early Bryan elections and the agrarian movements of a generation ago. Being no more familiar than the average man le with the intricacies of finance and currency, .his thoughts on this subject, whenever they are not completely vague, turn to various kinds of financial and economic heresies. In one of the richest agricultural counties of the United Mates the other day, a farmer, who Is also a business mao In his neighboring town, talking to the writer about present condition gave ex-ess Ion to the vaguely pusaled attitude on the eubject of money which la becoming general In farming communities. He said: "Thers is something queer about this matter of money. I have begun to think there is a difference between Democra.Ua money and Republican money. At this "point he took out nls pocket-boo- k and began to fumble with the bills. "Three or four years sgo." he continued, all the bills we got were federal reserve bill. That was in Wilsons administration, and so I call that Democratic Now." he continued, drawing money. all the bills we out some greenbacks, It looks to get are me as If now the ellier certificates are Republican money." . Money Demanded. ; for their wheat and 60 rent a buhl for their' potatoes This Is what the farmer receives when be loads hjs produce on his wagon and takes If to the station to deliver it to the warehouse or xo the freight car. (It should lie added that these two commodities, wheat anj potatoes, are the ones of which the prices are lowest, relative to other commodities and other timea But these- - happen to be crops which, this year especially, are raised over a wide stretch of country, and tings the mental attitude of the largest number of farmers.) been confusing. New loans to European countries are not to be encouraged unless the proceeds are to be devoted to con structlve ends. It appears to be the gen. eral opinion that . foreign governments must set their houses In order before they receive anv further aid from the United 8 tales.
