Blockade Bargains
By ALBERT W. ATWOOD

Large quantities of the best American
bonds have been bought in this way
1t is said that one man invested 100000
in blockaded bonds. At various times
such absolutely gilt-edged railroad bonds
as Atchison general As, Northern Pacific
prior lien 4s, Baltimore & Ohio first As,
Southern Pacific refunding As, and Cen
trail Pacific first As have been obtainable
four or five points below the New York
prices.
OF course the buyer does not get any
interest during the war, but he will be
able to cash the coupons after he gets
them. He receives written contract
from the broker on this side guaranteeing
that he will receive the security with its
uncashed coupons as soon as war condi-
tions make delivery possible, at which
time they will be brought over without
expense to the buyer.
There seems little reason to doubt the
safety of this bargain sale. As regards
Canadian Pacific stock, otherwise an ex-
cellent investment, it will be noted that
German prices are fifteen points below
those in New York. This is because the
railroad is not allowed to pay dividends
to Germans during the war, and % u per

TIME war has proved profitable in
many ways to Americans. One of
the most curious results has been the
establishment of bargain counter for
American bonds and stocks in Germany.
1t is almost impossible to get them
through the British blockade to this
country, and consequently any one who
is willing to leave bonds or stocks in
Germany until after the war can buy them
now at great reductions in price as COM
pared with precisely the same article in
this country.
A large business of this character has
sprung up. 1t has been possible to buy
American stocks and bonds in Germany
all the way from two or three to fifteen
points below the prevailing prices in New
York. Germany needs funds to carry on
the war, and it's citizens are constantly
being urged to subscribe for war loans.
So they are anxious to sell foreign invest
ments, and if the seas were open great
quantities would be shipped here. Not
only do the British war-ships make this
course impossible, but abnormally high
shipping and insurance rates would prove
quite an item of expense.
In the early days of the war many Sc
curities were secretly gotten through, but
now this has become very difficult. Later
it was quite common to ship them to
Switzerland, Holland, or the Scandinavian
countries and sell to Americans there.
But it has now been found more practical
to leave the securities on deposit with
well known banks in Berlin until after the
close of the war, when they will be
delivered to owners ON this side.
Any one who wishes to take advantage
of this method of buying gilt-edged bonds
and stocks at bargain prices should in
quire of any of the four or five well known
banking and brokerage firms in New York
that have extensive German connections.
The practical course is to inquire exactly
what expense attaches to such method
of buying, just what securities are avail
able, and where they will be deposited
during the war.
One large firm that specializes in this
business states that it has made arrange
ments with the Deutsche Bank, the
largest in Germany, to deposit securities
there for American customers without
charge for any length of time. If the
American buyer is over-cautious he can
arrange to have shipment made to
bankers in Holland, Switzerland, or Sean
dinavia; but probably some charge would
be attached.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17. - The most serious rioting since the transit strike in this city began two weeks ago oc cured tonight in various sections of Manhattan. when attempts were made to run cars on the Forty y-second and Fifty ninth street cross-town surface lines Mobs of strikers and their sympathizers stormed two car barns, overpowering the police and putting to flight all railway employees in the vicin- ities.
 Several motormen and conductors who had not joined the strike were beaten. Much property damage had been done before police reserves ar rived.
 The police assert that the strikers took advantage of the fact that many policemen were detailed to polling booths in todays primary election here. At Forty y-second street and Broad way one of the busiest parts of the city, a great crowd bombarded a car with stones they had gathered from a subway excavation.
 The police reported late tonight that all surface cars had been ordered to the barns Numerous arrests were made, and many of the rioters were clubbed by the police. Several pas sengers were hurt by missiles. Later the strikers attacked the elevated trains with bricks from housetops. Police men then were stationed on the roofs along elevated routes.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. 19-A plan for a Mexican national banking system to take the place of the sus- pended national bank and the Bank of London and Mexico in Mexico City, was outlined to the American mem bers of the joint Mexican-American commission here today by Luis Cab rera, chairman of the Mexican mem hers
 Mir Cabrera explained that a none tary commission has been created that will have supervision of a chain of government banks and it is hoped to obtain financial backing, chiefly from Mexican sources, to support the scheme.
 This explanation was given after the American members had asked to be enlightened on the order suspending the two institutions. MT. Cabrera said the two banks had issued bank notes far in excess of their metallic reserve, and recently had refused to sell to the government exchange on foreign banks at rates demanded by the gov ernment. The institutions had been ordered to show a metallic reserve equivalent to their issue of paper money, he said.
 Mir. Cabrera added that the step was largely retaliatory. as the banks of Mexico. chiefly the two in question, were responsible for depreciation of Carranza currency.
