I AH manner of reasons for this welcome change were advanced. Some paid that the financial holiday Intervening had saved tho Mtuntloii, ns It had given persons an opportunity calmly to consider matters and had opened their eyes to the extent ' of nowlr.g them that they were on the verge of heme carried away on nn unreason ing w of nl,;rla- Others said that the result of tho election In New York city had been discounted by the slump on Monday nnd thut tho market was simply experiencing the reaction. A well-known hanker In tho downtown section, who Is noted for broad Views and for coinpiehenslve grasp of financial conri.tlonx, said jestcrday that In his opinion the reaction was caused by tho following: rirtt. The Increase In freight rates nil along the line for tho eastern railroads ' s virtually an assured fact Indeed, is assured, when an otllclal of tho Govern ment having such authority as John Skclton Williams comes out und says they must have It. Second. Tho ngrcement between the United States and Japan guaranteeing the opfi door for China, thus putting nt rest all tho attempts to cteate b.id feeling between the two powerful natioiib and the effect which this great diplomatic step muat create among the commercial leadeis in Germany. Third. The continuous peace talk coming from Germany. There Is no occasion to analyze it now; tho simple fact that U is emanating from Germany Is enough. Fourth. Tho low prices ut which securities nro selling offer i strong tempta tion to bona fide buyers. t Fifth CJooo buying by persons with cash. As illustrating the Inst point, he remarked that one Institution bought ycsterda for cash high-class railroad slocks In 1000 share lots, and ut least one block of 2000 shares of Heading. This banker said ho could make no predictions as to the future: there may be, f he said, small reactions, Just ns a big wuvc on the seashore Is usually followed by Itnall reactionary waves, but tho outlook was hopeful.

Steel Vorkers Big Buyers of Liberty Bonds Speaking of the new channels into which the bulk of the nation's money Is now being diverted, namely, the harids of skilled and unskilled laborers, the repre tentatlxe of the Mellon National Hank, of Pittsburgh." Pa., In this city, who lias jut returned from Pittsburgh, whcie he went to assist during the Liberty Loan camtnlgn. tells of the thousands of workers in the steel mills there who came Into the bank to subscribe for bonds, their hands burned nnd calloused with hard work, and who Inalated in buying bonds outright no installment plan for them out rolls of bills of $500 )V more, he said, und put It all in Liberty Bonds. Many of these men, he said, beforo tho war created such industrial uctlvlty, wero barely making enough to keep themsehes and their families; now tluy are earning from tin ... cn ,,! mrn n xc nek nnd the steel mills me glad to get them and pay them such wages .Some of these men, he said, came back a second time fcrV bonds during the month he was in Pittsburgh. The shortage of both skilled and unskilled lubor In Pittsburgh at picsent Is such that the mills cannot run full time. Of the $13,000,000 of subsciiptlons to the Llboity Bonds taken by the Mellon Bank alone, he says, about half that amount was subscribed by these hard-working men and other small subscilbeis. The Mellon Bank took In addition jr.,000.000 of Liberty Uonds on Its own account, making n, total subscription of $20,000,000, and the same amount (f20.000.000) was taken by the Union Trust Company, an atllllatcd 'concern. In talking about the subsciiptlons lecehed in the large manufacturing com munities which aie considered ns being In what is called the Pittsburgh district, ho gae as an Instance the First Nutlonal Bunk, of Homestead, which appealed to them for clerical assistance, the number of subscribers from tho Curncglo plants In Homo stead alone being 1D.O0O. He thinks that these workers will sao every possible dollar-between now und the next Llbeit Loan, which he believes the Government will have no diflleulty in floating In fnet, he goes in far as to say that ho believes It would be tho most uccessful ono ns ye"t, as a new crop of bond bujers has conio Inlo existence heie and have conio to stay. Municipal Bond Market Looking Up t It would seem as though the market for municipal bonds has begun to open up. - remarked the principal of u large Investment house, which specializes in thut class of securities He then said that the first order ocr tlie tclepnone yesterday morning shortly after 9 o'clock was from a private Investor for $25,000 of a certain issue Which ,e sold on u 4.27 basis. This customer, he said, is n woman who has an Income of probably moro than $!5,000 a year. She o;vns $100,000 of Liberty Bonds, and slio bought theso municipals to escape all the necessity of calculation about taxation. As theso bonds uro tux free, she does not have to reveal ownership of them. "We have had a number of Inquiries," ho said, "but too muny want to buy ut prices which would be a loss to us, and wo uro holding off, us tho Indications point stronglj to a considerable appreciation In prices for municipals in particular." During the rccenC slump in the stock .market, the prices of bonds also slumped, and een good municipals suffered vwith the others. A very good example of this was the Cltv of Philadelphia 4 per cent bonds, maturing from 1943 to 1940, which were recently sold "over tho 'Counter" at par, lust weelc brought only 98',4; thut is, they were sold on a 4.07 basis. There was no valid reason for tills; they wero just s good last week as the duy they wero Issued, but an instance like this serves to H Show the unreasoning frume of minu which prevaiieu uiuuiih m return, wnti idsi week und particularly on Monday last wero willing to sell good securities at sacrifice prices, when not restrained by conscientious bankers and brokeis.

The economy of effort, which car ries him mile after mile, springs from the soundness of his bexjy-machine. He knows how to use the force which good health and careful preparation nave given him. It is fundamental soundness of de sign that creates in the Twin Six mo tor its smooth flow of driving energy with positive economy of gasoline and gives to the Packard car a long .and speedy and healthy life. Initial cost is not the great factor in your year-by-year and mile-by-mile outlay for safe, swift and comfortable transportation. The staying power of the car is the thing that counts its continued effi ciency, its low maintenance expense, its high market value at the end or the first or the fifth season. One decisive test of Packard stay ing power is the substantial prices which used Packards uniformly conv mand in this most unstable market.' The oldest Packard is still a going car.
