the accumulation of gold by the joint

going on for several months adds to
the financial power abroad, and the

Safety in investments.
ttORTY.FIRST ARTICLE(
BY 'darc M. Reynolds.

The subject of investment always
brings with it the question OF security
but in finding the element Of safety be-
hind an investment considerable trouble
sometimes is experienced. except IN very
simple cases where the soundness of an
institution against which a security Is
issued practically is beyond question.
Consequently, the word safety must be
used I'm comparative sense, and must
be applied comparatively among people
who have money to invest. The same
class OF securities is not recognized as
desirable for widows. orphans and es-
business men. In the selection OF an in
vestmont or investments the question
whether one could quickly convert hold
ings into cash sometimes IS an important
one and in such cases only securities
having an established market should be
considered and usually the listed stocks
and bonds on standard stock exchanges
insure the easy tuTIilHS Iilp 'holl VI
security holdings This is not an in
variable rule. however. as there are many
stocks listed which are so infrequenuy
dealt I'm that they have slow market
and when the holder offers his stock
for sale there is a wide range between
the bid and asked price and at times ii
is difficult TO secure any satisfaction.
Frequently the unlisted market. which rep
resents stocks and bords not listed. but
dealt i'm by investment houses Of the bet
ter class, offers satisfactory market as
such issues are not carried on margin
and have an average stability. So in the
selection Of an investment II a buyer
has in prospect the probability Of dis
posing OF his holdings at some near fut-
ure time. and he is purchasing with a
view OF not only the yield but possible
advancement I'm the market price, lie

lngs. the outlook and probability Of in
creases IN earnings and general business

London Sir Henniker Heaton. who
