any point In the country during the early

showing a dlerioeltlon to contract the new

Bonds. The federal farm loan board,
on behalf of the 12 federal land banks
and at their request, has concluded aa
arrangement by which a group of In
vestment houses will participate in
the marketing of farm loan bonds
soon to be issued by the banks. The
preliminary negotiations have been
had with Alexander lirown ok Sons of
Baltimore; Brown Brothers A Co. of
Philadelphia; Harris. Forbes tt Co. of
New York and Lee, Higginson & Co. of
Boston, who are among the oldest and
most conservative houses In the coun
try, having lari;e lists of customers.
and facilities for the distribution of
bonds to Investors. While such secur
ities as farm loan bonds are well
known in Kurope, where they gener
ally sell on a parity with government
bonds, the American investor is not
yet educated to them, and it is be
lieved that by utilizing the facilities
of these Investment houses a larger
number of investors can be reached in
a shorter period of time than would
otherwise be possible, and that, in thla
way a brond and continuing market
for farm loan bonds can be promptly
established. The four houses agree to
form" a national group, including
houses in every land bank district.
which will market approximately half
of the bonds issued by the banks dur
ing the next six months, up to a total
of $30,000,000. The other half will be
sold directly by the banks to invest
ors In their respective districts. It is
estimated that the total issues Of
bonds by the banks within a year will
amount to between $100,000,000 and
$150,000,000, and our agricultural, ex
igencies require that there shall be
neither uncertainty nor delay about
providing these funds for American
farmers. In response to a request
from Secretary of the Treasury Mo-
Adoo. Attorney General Gregory made'
a careful examination of the federal
farm loan act and rendered an opin
ion fully sustaining the constitution
ality of the act, and approved espe
cially the provisions relating to the
Issue of farm loan bonds, the validity
of such bonds, and all their Lax exemp
tion privileges.

Xjwaraace) Convention Abandoned.
The Travelers Insurance company of
Hartford, Conn., has called off tbe
annual convention of its agents, which
was to have been held in July, ad
vising those who Intended to attend

Bond Market. In the bond depart
ment of the stock exchange as in the
stock department everything has been
subservient to the Liberty loan, says
T. IL Price In the current issue of
Commerce and Finance. Trading la It
commenced at 12 o'clock on Friday. -June
1$. The unit of fluctuation es
tablished is 1-50 of 1 per cent. Thus,
a quotation of 100.1 means that a 1100
bond sold at this price would bring;
$100.02. A quotation of 100.41 would
mean that a 1100 bond sold at this
price would bring $100.88. and a quo
tation of 101.13 would mean that a
$100 bond sold at thla price would
bring $ioz. 26. On the other band, a
quotation of 9 4 would mean that a
$100 bond sold at this price would
bring $99.98, and a quotation of $1.1
would mean that a $100' bond sold at
this price would bring $.02. We are
thus particular in explaining the sig
nificance of these quotations because
great confusion has arisen In connec
tion with them. Shortly after 11
o'clock on Friday when the subscrip
tion list waa closed with an announce
ment of an over subscription variously
estimated at from $800,000,000 to
$1,000,000,000, $166,000 of the bonds
were sold at 9.4 and $S5.00O at $ 48.
On the total of $201,000 thus sold
below par the loss on the issue price
waa $47.20. The sale of the bonds at
less than par has Inspired much ad
verse criticism and has crystallised
public sentiment id opposition to fur
ther transactions at a discount. In
other departments of the bond mar
ket the tendency has been toward
lower prices, reflecting presumably
the fear that congress will not much
reduce the Income taxes provided for
in the revenue bill passed by the
house and now under consideration in
the senate. Foreign government bonds
are on an average from to per
cent lower. New York city bonds have
been rather more active at declines
ranging from 1 to 2 per cent. It is
generally expected that the city will
shortly issue a loan of from $50,000,
ooo to $75,000,000 at a rate somewhere
between 4 and 4 per cent. New
York city 4s of I960 are quoted at
99 which would seem to argue some
what badly for the success of a new
4 per cent loan. Several issues of
public utility bonds have shared In
