Morgan Sees America Absorbing European Securities
Holland reports J P Morgan’s informal remarks before leaving for New York indicating Europe handles securities well and America's absorption of returning European bonds is feasible. Observers note Paris and London markets have already returned millions in railroad and utility bonds, with U S investors absorbing them through New York and Boston bankers. The piece suggests no new major loans, but a shift to absorbing securities domestically.
