Bradstreet's tomorrow will eay: "Trade and Industrial advices are Btill irregular, with business as a whole on the quiet side. Warmer weather West and South, excellent winter wheat advices and prospects for full areas to ulus to spring trade. In wholesale and manufaotttrlng Unas -progress is halt-Ing "Wrawrtraytnarwrem the rule. "In large Industrial lines the situation la not greatly different, The bituminous coal lnduetry la dull. Iron and steel buying is light, but specifications are active, testifying to heavy consumption, and the feeling is that new buying must occur shortly at the attractive pricea made recently on finished ateel.

"For tiie week: Failures, 258 against 290 last year; wheat exports, 2,805,681 against bank clearings, a decrease of 7.2 per cent." WHO OWNS THE BAD BONDS? (Copyright, 1914, by C. M. Keys, New York.) Ten or twelve years ago, as everybody knows, there was a lot of big financing going on in the United States. Both railroads and industrial companies were doing it. Everybody was capitalizing and recapitalizing all sort of businesses.

The great bulk of this financing waa fairly good. Some of It waa excellent and some of It was very bad. This article concern! one or two cases where bad bonds were floated and sold to somebody qr another. Take two cases) for Illustration. One was the case of a big railroad terminal in PlttsbUrg which was bonded for $25,000,000 first mortgage 4 per cent bonds.

These Wabash Pittsburg first mortgage 4s were sold at a price above 90. They paid their interest for a while and then came a receivership and at the preaent time they can be bought In almost any amount from 10 to 12 cents on the dollar. That is an extreme case of bad financing. At about the same time a group of men bought out the old Rock Island Railway. In doing this, they created a bond issue called the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company 4 per cent, bonds of 2002.

These bonds were sold to the general public at prices ranging from 70 to 90. It is now expected that they will do- au, viieir unKrosf on may 1 next and consequently the bonds have been selling heavily In the market at aboyt 40 cents on the dollar. Starting with the institutions. It appears that out of the $25,000,000, par Value Wabash Pittslburg first mortgage 4s, Institutions whose holdings are recorded in the public press, owned about $5,700,000 par value on the first of January, 1913. That is a very large proportion, being nearly a quarter of the whole Issue.

It Is an extraordinary large proportion when one considers that it is now some years since they ceased to pay interest, and that in stitutlona as a rule, do not Continue to hold bonds or other securities after a default. In the case of the Rock Island the issue is about. $71,000,000 Or! the first of January, 1918, there wad not much of a question of a default in these bonds and nothing serloud had occurred to check the instltu-l tions much. Yet in thla Issue only) about $3,600,000 of $71,000,000 were! held by the same institutions at that! time. The reason for the very much larger proportion of.

the Wabash) Pittsburg bonds owned by institution Is probably that they were a first mortgage bond and, therefore, on the! face of them, more conservative than) the Rock Island 4s which are only a collateral trust bond secured by That they have turned out, so fari worse than the Rock Island 4s is on3 of those incidents that seem to provei that there are no rules in the Invests ment markets, and that a first morH gage bond may be much worse thanl a bond with no security at all, or vlccJ versa. When we come to look at the rhar-i acter of the Institutions that owrJ "na certain, u. as ri u.u ciiuci ui uiese oonufo except in the State of Pennsylvania1 where savings banks buy many things' that they would net be allowed to buy in New York and Massachusetts for Instance. There appear to have been1 twelve savings banks in Pennsylvania) that bought the Wabash PittRhnri bonds and five that bought tho mmiiu cunaterai is. The other institutions are insurance companies, trust companies and safe deposit com-' paniea for the most part, these institutions having a much more liberal code of laws regulating what they can' buy than in the caje of the savings1 banks.

There the records cease and ohe hao to go into the field of conjecture for the rest of the story. When thd Wabash Pittsburg crash came along, It) transpired than these bonds had been) sold to very conservative investors all-over the country; and particularly in' Pennsylvania, because the plant wart located in that State. Hundreds of women dependent upon the income bought the bonds. They were sold ad conservative Investment securities, andl the damage that they did can hardly b6 computed, for it remains a painfull) fact that when financial errors are committed in this field of conservative) bond Investment, the effect Is not onW very widespread, but is also very con-, tlnuous. In the case of the Rock Island 4 8, the individual investment was much larger In proportion than In the case of the Wabash Pittsburg Is, but it appears also to be a fact that the bonds were not sold to the same class of Investors who bought the Wabash Pittsburg 4s.

Most of tho people who were attracted by the very hlh Income offered by these Rock Island bonds were peonle who bought them knowing perfectly well that they were not a perfectly gilt-edged investment. On the contrary they were bought much as one buys a stock, in the expectation of getting a high return and also possibly of making some money in the" course of' time.
