London. July 9.-Constantly increasing

Much Of the talk IS doubtless due TO

that investors no longer demand the ex-
fra margin Of interest when investing n
foreign securities that was formerly in
yariably the case. On the contrary,
preference Is now given 70 foreign Sc
c1lrities with a return which Is lower
than that Of home securities. and In this
preference American rails benefit more
than any other class Of security.
The price of home rails Is constantly
falling in an apathetic market, while
American rails not only hold their own
but are constnatly seeking higher level.
Coupled with the prevailing pessimisn
