Some Inquiry Is noted for Atalnta bond a and other standard municipal Isstiea, but sales are smnll In volume slid no recovery In prices Is ns yet reported. Tho placing of the ahort-tlme state loan nt 2 per cent with local bank* had a good sentimental effect. Considerable Improve ment Is looked for as soon us tho money conditions In Fn stern market* become more favorable. Private Investor* are already absorbing good securities at the present tavel In anticipation of such Improvement. This demand will doubtless Increase consid erably during the fail mouths. Georgia railroad stock seems to have about reached Its low level, and some de- ••mild Is reported. The effect of pending legtslstlon upon the Central of Georigu income bonds has Im*«ii scarcely appreciable. Central Railroad and Banking f,s are selling at a new low record and seem to us a goo*I jnirrhase at the price.
