Lay ton, liquidation, incidentally, has been handled in such a way that it has had no ad¬ effect whatsoever on the municipal market. The general price level is now close to the standing that obtained in November, 1941, which was the record for all time. Actually, certain issues are sell¬ ing at new all-time highs. Referring again to the subject of liquida¬ tion, it is of interest to note that not a little of such selling, particu¬ larly in the case of municipal sinking funds, has been accomplished at the instance of municipal dealers themselves in their endeavor to satisfy, if only in partially, the constant demands of their clients. Getting back to market operations in September, it is to be noted that while short-term municipal operations in that period aggregated $39,080,600, the total included an issue of $35,000,000 New York City revenue bills. The impact of war conditions has also been reflected in this sphere of market activity. Because of the necessity of de¬ ferring capital improvements, coupled with greatly increased revenues through prompt payment of taxes and from other sources, the need for temporary credit by municipalities has been materially lessened. Virtually all of such borrowing in months past has been accomplished by municipal housing authorities and this paper, by market/ new issue activity in Sep¬ consequence, the grand volume of sales being no more than $389,718.
