Indigestible Securities


During the past two months, and espe-
cially the past six weeks. an enormous
amount of new securities has been
created. covering all kinds of Industrial
enterprises. Some of these have been
promoted by those who expect to un-
load on a probable basis. on an eager,
expectant, excited public. Some of this
unloading has been done. and the pro-
moters have reaped large profits One
concern that bought a candy business at
a fair price Immediately capitalized 1t
at twice the purchase figure. and pro-
ceeded to boost the stock and is now
selling it to the public at handsome
figure. The business may justify it, but
it is too early to say.
After every great rise, manipulation
of this kind occurs. and when the de-
cline sets in, the public finds itself
loaded with a mass of what the late
J. p. Morgan once properly designated
as 'fndigestible securities" This is a
good time to keep away from securi-
ties of this character, to take profit
and put the proceeds in the well estab-
lished dividend payers, the kind of stocks
least likely to be affected by any serious
disturbance.

What Germany Wants

Harry A. Franck, in Harper's Magazine.
At Pfaffenhofen, still posing as a
food controller" I dropped In on a
general merchant. The ruse served as
an opening to extend conversation here
even better than it had in the smaller
town behind. The Kaufman was all
most too eager to impress me, and
through me America, with the necessity
of replenishing his shrunken stock. He
reasserted that fats, soap, rice, soup ma
terials, milk, Cocoa, and sugar were
most lacking and in order named. Then
there was tobacco, more scarce than any
of these. except perhaps fats If only
America would send them tobacco. In
other lines? Well, all sorts of clothing
materials were lacking, of course;
they had been hoping ever since the
armistice that America would send
them cotton. People were wearing all
from his show-window what looked
like very coarse cotton shirt, but
which had a brittle feel and spread
ties. Sometimes the lengthwise threads
were cotton and the cross threads net
tie. which made a bit more durable
stuff but he could not say much even
for that. AS to the nettle shirt before
me, he sold it for fourteen marks be-
cause he refused to accept Ucet on
such stuff. But what good was such
shirt to the peasants? They wear it
few days, wash it once and-kaput,
finished, it crumples together like
burned paper. Many children can no
longer go to school: their clothes have
been patched out of existence During
the war there were few marriages in
the rural districts, because, tho boys
being away to war, a fair division of
the inheritances could not be made even
when the girls found matches. Now
