In all the Investment markets of America there is to-day a decided demand on the part of those who have money to Invest for a gwjd big rate of Income plus a very large degree of safety. It is, perhaps, curious to note that as a result of three months In which there has been no market open for men to trade In and speculate, in the invest ment public has come to place a relatively much smaller value upon convertibility than It was accustomed to place in previous periods. As a matter of faot, the very first demand that arose In ihe markets after seven or eight weeks of almost complete stagnation was a demand for short-term securities, the Idea of the buyers being not to have something that could he sold again, but to have some thing that could be held until maturity or until paid oft. Simul taneously with this demand there was an awakening In the mortgage market, a great many men going out to look for safe short real estate mortgages Into which they could put their money with a definite expectation that nothing evil would happen to it for two or three years at least, or until the mortgage had matured. Gradually as the market was opened up this principle has been extended. In the bond markets of the country they trade in all sorts of bonds, some of them with a dally market under normal conditions, others just a reasonable market and a good many others that could hardly be marketed at all. During the time when the markets were closed up all these classes were about on the same footing so far as market was concerned, and the revival of business began not In the standard bonds that have always been known In the market-place, but In the quiet, unlisted securities which have always been bought and sold purely as investment issues. That was, perhaps, a natural development out of* the circumstances, but It was about the last thing looked for by the critics, or, in fact, by the dealers themselves. The psychology of the Investor is a curious psychology. One ob serves always that men who live in New York Boston. Philadelphia, Chicago or St. Louis seem to like bpst of all, In normal times, the standard listed bonds with an active market. If you pin them down to facts y«u find that the large majority of them have never in their lives availed themselves o<t that market and sold bonds, or even used them to borrow money on. Nevertheless, they are perfectly willing to pay n much higher price for bonds that are quoted all the time than for bonds of equal security that are not quoted. When, there for, one comes In contact with Investors In smaller cities and more particularly in what Is loosely called the country, It Is discovered that the value placed upon these dally quotations Is In almost direct ratio to the size of the town In which the Investor lives and reaches the vanishing point when one comes to the real country Investor, who generally wants a mortgage or a very quiet bond secured by a direct first mortgage, the money valuo of which he will not know at any time during its lifetime. It is, of Coursfe, not wise to make sweeping deductions from a phenomenon like the strong demand for quiet securities. If one is a dealer in this class of securities and makes a great deal of money by buying and selling them, It le easy and comfortable to draw the con clusion that from this time onward the investors of the United States are going to prefer some quiet public utility bonds to the standard bonds of the good railroad systems and the great municipalities. The argument, no doubt, will appear In many forms in thfc>. literature of such dealers. Of course, it is not a very sound argument, because the premises upon tyhich It is founded are a phenomenon that has been, so far, of short duration and that itself was caused by extraor dinary conditions. In all probability the markets of the world will hardly again be In a normal condition before a groat many of the people who now are willing to entertain the idea of buying very quiet bonds and stocks will again come back to their old fields and want their dally quotations. Possibly many of them, in fact, will be dissatisfied with what they have bought during- the period of sus pended quotations and will seek, quite unreasonably, as free a mar ket In the quiet bonds as they have in the past enjoyed In the others. There is, however, some good sense to be deduced from the facts in the case. It Is a fact, for instance, that people who during this period of disturbance and distress have held perfectly good quiet securities upon which they never expected to get a quotation have enjoyed greater peace of mind and have been less disturbed than men and women whose fortunes were Involved in the markets. That is something to think about. It raises the valid question whether In making investments a great many people did not pay a lot for something that they never can use or never do use—namely, the quick convertibility of the bond market. It raises another question— whether the true investor, who puts his money away for safety and for a reasonable income, is not, after all, the wiser man of the two. These are not questions drawn from the present conditions, but It appears obvious enough that the experience of this year has at least lent further color to the theory of safety and income as against safety and convertibility.
