BUYING BONDS IN

BIG MARKET FACTOR

ties, What Way Financial
Winds Are Blowing.

department of the investment busi-
ness which has developed to an extraor.
dinary degree the past few years is
what is termed by brokers as "Odd-lot
Business
On the New York Stock Exchange alone
there are perhaps upwards of 50 odd-lot
brokers' who make a specially of this
business. In small way the odd lot
broker, like the specialist, resembles the
London jobber. One of the houses that
confines its operations to this odd-lot
business has nine partners, seven of
which are members Of the exchange; an
other has seven partners with six mem
bershps on the board.
The fact that two such houses should
nave over 100000 invested in member
ships to say nothing Of the large amount
OF capital required to conduct their opera
tlons, shows how well this parts of the
exchange activity is taken care Of
A MARKET BAROMETER.
Odd lot buying is always welcomed by
brokers'. The buyer of odd lots is gem
orally credited by the financial world
with large degree of shrewdness. and
MS operations lack the speculative tone
OF the larger operator After a market
decline 1t Is always the odd lot buyer
VINO indicates the decline is about over
by his appearance with his investment
buying. and in times of stress his adj
vent is eagerly awaited and watched for
The bond dealers have also been quick
to recognize the possibilities of the odd
lot buyer and late years have witnessed
the offering of most of the securities in
800 pieces. where hitherto $1,000 was the
unit. although at times $500 bond was
to be obtained
No doubt TINS idea was acquired from
the French, who make II possible fo-
the man of most modets means to sub
scribe to Government loans, and the
aVidity with which he has taken UP with
the idea makes the French peasant a
byword for frugality and thrift.
SELL ON INSTALMENTs.
The buying of bonds in 500 denomina-
ton has also resulted in another de-
parture in this form of business Houses
handling these are very glad to make 1t
possible for the buyer to do SO on the
tnstalment plan spreading the payments
out over a period of time.
Inasmuch as the interest on the bond
itself offsets any interest charges against
the credit thus extended, it makes it pos
sible for the man Of ordinary means to
have such a variety of investment securi-
ties that his feeling of independence and
must increase monthly as he
clips his coupons.
This all tends to bring the man of
affluence closer to the. man of more
modest means and remove the appre-
hension and uncertainty with which each
has at times viewed the other in the
past.

REFINERS EXPECT
SUGAR PRICES WILL
TOUCH LOW LEVEL
Lack of Export Demand
Puts Excess of Raw Prod,
uct in Markets-Beet In
dustry Booming,

Sugar refiners and planters are In a
quandary. They are confronted by un-
precedented conditions on account Of the
war. What the solution of the quandary
will be Is mere conjecture. But 1t is the
concersus Of opinion that there will not
be any immediate rise in the price Of
raw or refined sugar. In fact, the chances
for a decline in price of the latter are
very favorable to the consumer.
Cuban sugar planters, with only a rem
nant of the last crop on hand and a
bumper crop due, are resisting the eff
forts of the refners to compel them to
sell out the remnant at a low price. Re-
finers are anxious TO obtain the remnants
so they can fix the prices on the LOUISIANA
crop of about 100000 tons which will soon
be ready for grinding. on top of this
there will come an unusual amount of
beet sugar from Colorado and Michigan.
Expectations of refined sugar are linn
tied. Great Britain is the only consist
ent importer. She purchased 5000 10
1000 tons last month at $50 to SO
net cash in bond, It is expected that
orders for about 10000 tons per month
will be received during the remainder Of
this year.
The planters Of Cuba. Porto Rico and
other sugar-growing islands of the West
Indies are deprived Of the,v European
markets by the war and will be COM
PEELED to dispose of their products 20 this
country Realizing this, the rehners are
not anxious 10 buy futures They are
playing a game Of "watchful waiting in
order TO get the raw product at their
own prices.
One Of the advantages of the war TO
this country has been the revival Of
the beet sugar industry Of the West.
The reduction of tariff on the beet sugar
from foreign countries was expected to
put an end 10 beet sugar growing here.
The war, however has cut off completely
the importations of beet sugar Plant
ers We're quick to grasp the opportunity
thus offered, and the latest reports are
that Western growers will have good
yields.
The great plants in southern Cali Z
fornia are now running night and day .
in an effort to cope with the situation /
and reap the reward. During the last .
30 days one beet sugar factory handled .
27On tons of beets every 81 hours, break /
ng all previous capacity records. and
the company is expecting to pay a divi-
lend of 45 per cent. on its common
stock

Nights Close and Grain
Sells on Free Ofers-Ar-
rivals alling Off.

CHICAGO, Oct 15.-wheat opened
stronger this morning. with good COM
mission house buying, but soon reacted
and sold below last nights close on free
offers.
The arrivals at Winnipeg and in the
American Northwest showed heavy fall
ing off from a week ago. Reports that
Patten's holdings of wheat, corn and oats
were sold yesterday discouraged those
who entertained bullish convictions, and
while 1t is believed that a large export
business is being done in wheat under
cover. the foreign demand does not APP
pear to be of any aggressive character.
Shipments from Argentina for the week
are estimated at $4,000 bushels. Beneficial
rains have helped the crop there.
The market at Liverpool was stronger
on better buying and a broadening de-
mand. Liverpool believes that offers will
become lighter and that American farm
ers will now hold more firmly. Reserves
abroad are light
Corn declined at the outset on poor
support, but later rallied. It was feared
that the crop has been damaged by the
recent wet weather. The spot demand,
however, is poor. but offerings of Ar
gcntine corn are liberal, with the quality
better
Oats was easier. There were indications
that the market had been overbought.
There is little interest shown by Liver
pool merchants In foreign oats, native
their cheapness. The yield of oats in
Russia this year is placed at 1,003.0O0
bushels against 1,2SO,000 bushels last year.

AMALGAMATED DIVIDEND is
REDUCED DOLLAR A SHARE
Action Not Surprising in View of
Smaller Earnings Of Subsidiaries,

The Amalgamated Copper Company to-
day declared quarterly dividend of 30
cents a share. This compares with $3.50
share in the preceding quarter, a re-
duction of 81 a share. The dividend is
payable November 20. to stock of record
October a.
The action of Amaleanlated directors
in reducing the dividend from th per
cent. quarterly to u Of 1 per cent. was
generally expected by the street.
AS this company is n holding corpora
tion and interested in mining only by
virtue Of its ownership of the shares of
other mining companies, its dividend ac-
of its subsidiaries. It's chief asset Is the
Anaconda Copper Company, which 1t con-
trolls by virtue of It's ownership of 3,212,6s4
out of the 1861, ,4S0 shares outstanding.
In 1918 the Anaconda paid into the
Amalgamated treasury in dividends ap-
proximately $9,OO0OOO. The action of the
Anaconda directors in September In re-
ducing their dividend from SO to 81 an
nually, thereby reduced the parent COM
pany's income from this source two
thirds. The Amalgamated also owns
10000 shares of the Inspiration Copper
Company, but this company has not as
vet been a source of income.
The Amalgamated is also heavily inter-
ested in the Greene Cananea Copper Com
pany from which 1t enjoyed considerable
income, but as this company's plants are
located in Mexico, they have been closed
down since early in September This
company in 1913 paid S125 per share in
dividends. Thus far in 1914, up to June
/, 50 per share has been paid but the
dividend due September / of 81 per share
has been deferred and the company is
not likely to resume its payments until
affairs in Mexico are definitely settled.
Apparently Amalgamated's only source
of income at present is from its Anaconda
investment and the dividend declared to-
day just about covers what is received
by the Amalgamated from the treasury
of the Anaconda.
