Bond Buyers Drop Off Market Slump Keeps Bond Sale Vague
Bond houses and banks report they would have bid on the issue ten weeks ago but a market slump forced them to refrain. Several had arranged to handle the bonds if possible, yet conditions worsened in the past week. Representatives offered little encouragement for a quick rebound, suggesting to wait until later in the year. The bonds carry a 4 1/2 percent cap and cannot sell below par, with discounts unlikely to reach 98 cents on the dollar. A telegram from Chancellor E C Elliott in Chicago said he could not arrange sales through major educational foundations. The board of examiners adjourned after the discussion.
