NEW YORK. March 5.—Trading fell
away to a shadow of its former self in
the bond market today and prices
Wriggled indecisively in narrow ranges.
What trading there was centered in
the domestic corporate section where
railroad issues tended to improve a bit
and utilities sagged a little. Baltimore
& Ohio 4'2s, Great Northern 4s and
Chesapeake Corp. 5s improved a point
or so. while St. Paul 5s of 1975, Penn
sylvania general 4s and Southern Rail
way 4s gained fractionally.
International Paper & Power 5s and
American & Foreign Power 5s worked
lower on light dealings. Abitibi 5s.
however, jumped up more than l’j
points.
United States Government loans
were traded at lower prices with set
backs extending from 1/32 to 6 32 of
ft point.

interest in the long run?
We are proud of the fact that
our friendly relationship with our
borrowing members, continuing
in many instances through three
generations of the same family, is
largely the reason for more than
$5,400,000now outstanding in real
estate loans from this Association.
Before you buy, build or
remodel your home or business
property, bring your financial
problems to us. We’ll save you

BRISK ADVANCE
Spring Buying Lifts Sales
to New Years High
During Week.
BT the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 5 —Trade and
business stepped ahead vigorously this
week under the spur of more fa- j
vorable developments on all Important I
fronts, Dun & Bradstreet said today
in the weekly review.
‘Customers started Spring buying
in earnest,” the agency said, "sending
sales to a new high for the year. The
unexpected extent of last-minute or
ders for Easter merchandise pushed
many Wholesalers farther behind in
their deliveries. Industries displayed
greater freedom in formulating plans 1
for expansion during the second and
third quarters.”
The review placed retail distribu
tion 6 to 10 per cent ahead of the
preceding week and from 15 to 25 per
cent ahead of the same period last
year. Percentage gains in the major
geographic regions over the 1936 com
parative were; New England, 15 to 22;
East, 14 to 30; Middle West, 16 to 25:
Northwest, 15 to 20; South, 18 to 25;
Southwest, 15 to 20, and Pacific
Coast, 12 to 18
Consumers released the full force
of their accumulated requirements In j
nearly all departments, the review
said. Women's and children's Easter
apparel crowded In to the foreground,
led by coats, suits, dresses, millinery
and shoes.
Sales of men's suits and topcoats
increased despite markups, the review
continued, adding that the upward
surge carried with it groceries, dry
goods, electrical appliances and nu
merous other items.
In wholesale markets, the agency
said the momentum gathered in Feb
ruary lost but little of its vigor. Good
prices for farm products were reflected
in heavier commitments of rural
merchants, it said.

MOST bankers consider a loan good if it
possesses the following qualifications: ,
i. A borrower who has a good business repu
tation and credit standing.
1. A sound purpose for which the loan is to
be used other than a fixed investment in
a business, for this type of loan is not a
proper field for a commercial bank,
j. A reasonably short term until repayment
for commercial loans; adequate security
in the case of collateral or real estate loans.
4. Reasonable proof of dependable income for
repaying the loan when due, or a definite
schedule for repayment.
This bank has many good loans on its books.
We are making new ones constantly. In every
loan our first consideration is to safeguard
the deposits entrusted to our care.
