Newspaper Stock Quotations

TINE and again, inquiries come to this
department asking where the quotation
for certain stock may be found. Nine
times out of ten it appears on the financial
page of any leading newspaper, especially
in the New York papers-which, as rule,
cover more different markets in their stock
quotations than papers in other cities.
Before me is one New York paper-and
nearly all Others are as complete or more
so-which gives, in addition to all quota
tons on the New York Stock Exchange
and the Consolidated Stock Exchange of
New York, the following quotations:
New York City bonds; Standard Oil
group; mining stocks in San Francisco,
Tonopah, Goidfield, and Colorado Springs;
tobacco stocks; Boston, Pittsburgh, Bal

different quotations) munition stocks;
and, finally, the New York curb list, with
quotations on perhaps $50 miscellaneous
securities.
As to the standing and earning power
of unlisted stocks, if nothing is to be found
in any of the books mentioned in this arti-
Gle or in the more extended list of books,
periodicals., and newspapers mentioned in
Chapter of making Your Money Work
for You" the search for information will
not be an easy one. The only resources
remaining are the following: statistical
departments of brokers and investment
bankers (Which are often very completely,
financial editors of newspapers and maya
zines, bank officials and bank credit de-
partments, and reporting agencies, the
names of which in each city may be oh
tanned from the banks, and which will
make reports for regular fee. There is
only one other suggestion: try to learn
whether there is any large financial library
in your city to which you may secure
access, and consult the records for your
self without asking the favor of written
report from the broker or whoever else
may own the library

MAGAZINE SECTION for September 8, 1916

StOChS, tHelf earning power anu tIelr market
value?
NHlS is very difficult question to
answer, because it is so broad and
general. BY unlisted stocks the reader
means those that are not admitted to the
stock exchanges. In the larger cities,
especially New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
and Chicago, there are regular stock ex-
changes which permit only limited num-
Der of stocks and bonds to be bought and
sold, and much information regarding these
securities must be furnished by the COM
panies before any listing or permission
to do business in them, is permitted.
A listed stock may not be better, neces-
sariy, than an unlisted stock, but the
presumption is in favor of it. Usually it
is fairly tried and seasoned security, and
rarely is it a mere gamble. There are
some unlisted stocks better than any
listed ones; it is safe to say that the vast
majority of unlisted securities available to
the public are not SO safe as those that
have been admitted to quotation on the
exchanges, although among the "out-
side" shares are numerous desirable ones.
But this article is intended to throw
the other variety. In regard to copper
shares, Weeds formerly Stevens) coop
per Handbook" describes many thou
sands. 1t is a standard, reliable work, to
be found in any large library, in all bro
kers' offices, or it may be ordered from
book dealer. Any copper stock not found
in this book (unless promoted since the
last edition went to press is hardly worth
further attention. A much smaller and
cheaper but reliable copper stock manual,
and also similar booklet on Standard Oil
stocks and another on independent oils,
are published by service company in
New York and distributed free by brokers
who specalizein these particular securities.
From Los Angeles ono may purchase for
so cents copy of the Oil Bradstreet,
which lists only oil companies in the State
Of California; but there are thousands of
them. This book and Weeds Cooper
Handbook" do not give the prices of
stocks, but only essential facts concerning
companies.
am very much afraid the investor who
wrote the letter at the head of this article
was in hopes that | could tell him of some
one book from which he could learn all
about unlisted stocks Now, there are
hundreds of thousands of such stocks, and
no one hundred books tell all about them.
The inquirer should read chapter 8, on
"How Can Learn More About This Sub
iect?' in the booklet, Making Your
Money Work for YOU, copy of which
will be sent by the editor of this magazine
for cents in stamps. He should obtain
from brokers who specialize in outside Sc
curties in such cities as Boston and New
York copies of their circulars; and above
all, he should learn to read the financial
pages of newspapers.

One week later he turned up at

Mostly Eggs,

Oh, but 1t was clean, and sweet,
and wonderfully still, that rose
and-white room at Norah's! What
bliss to lie there, hour after hour,
in a delicious half-waking, half
sleeping, wholly exquisite stupor,
only rousing myself to swallow
egg-nog No. 426, and then to flop
back again on the big, cool pill
low!
There never was a sister like
Norah. But then, who ever heard
of a brother-in-law like Max? No
woman-not even frazzled-out
newspaper woman--could receive
the love and care that they gave
me, and fail to flourish under 1t.
They had been Dad and Mother
to me- since the day when Norah
had tucked me under her arm and
carried me away from New York.
Sis was an angel; a comforting,
notwithstanding angel, with
white apron strings for wings, and
a tempting tray in her hands In
place of the hymn books and palm
leaves that the picturebook angels
carry.
Feel like eating a great big
dinner today, Kidlet?" Norah
would ask in the morning as she
stood at my bedside, with a glass
of egg-nog?"
"Eat!"-horror and disgust
shuddering through my voice
Eat! Ugh! Don't s-s-speak of 1t

Frieda to shut the kitchen door

THE BAPTIST CONVENTION
DECISION.
Judge Smith rendering decision.
JONES FACTION WINS IN
COURT. @

Decision in Chicago rendered this
week sustained the contentious of E.
p. Jones and followers, making them
the National Baptist Convention.
Chicago, January 10TH A decision
rendered in the courts of Chicago to-
day by Judge Smith sustained the de-
murrer of attorneys Walter M. Farm
er of this city, and Wm Harrison, of
Oklahoma City, recognizing the
National Baptist Convention of which
f. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg,
Miss, was elected president. 1t will
be remembered that during the month
of September last year the Baptist
held a convention in this city and
divided into two parts over a charter
gotten out by seven men. A majority
of one hundred fifty or more votes
in the Convention showed that the
strength of the Convention was
against the chatter, whereupon, Dr..
Morris and his followers left the
chair and the Convention immediate
ly elected E. P. Jones and an entirely
new set of officers. The incorporated
Convention led by DR.. Morris got out
an Injunction to prevent the Jones
people from using the name National
Baptist Convention. The case has
been hanging file and the decision
today by the court is far-reaching as
it tears down and virtually eliminates
the incorporated faction as national
body. The contest was sharp and
prolonged. Able counsel represented
both sides, but in the demurrer offered
by the attorneys for the Jones faction
every contention made and the five
points of law presented were upheld.
President Jones was reached by wire
in Philadelphia and expressed him
self as we'll pleased, declaring that he
knew the will of the majority OF the
Baptist would be sustained. It is
said that this decision puts the in
corporated faction to rout. 1t is
learned that President Jones will call
meeting of his advisors consisting
of the chairmen and the secretaries
of the various Boards, together with
the elective officers to meet in Nash
vile at an early date.
