GET MORE INTEREST

GEI NUKE IN EN ES
 Liberty Bonds are both bought and sold. They are sold at the discount in order to take on securities bearing 8 higher rate of interest. They are pur- chased because the investor believes they will eventually come to par or niere
 One broker says:
 T would say that the investors as a rule show a partiality for the new railroad securities as distinguished from the utilities and industrials"
 Another says:
 ..No standard railroad equipment
 bonds have ever defaulted. I judge
 this has much to do with their
 popularity. Their short term and
 the rate of interest also attract at-
 tentiOn."
 Asked if the proffer of per cent securities by big interests is not un- usual prominent broker said: The rate of interest is due to the general high standard. Time will come. I have no doubt when this rate of interest will be no longer offered. The rich men of the country have to pay such an enormous tax bill out of their in como and earnings that they are not purchasing securities as in normal times. When. however. some of the war taxes are removed. and there is more money offered for glt-edge se- curities by those wishing to invest large sums, securities will not offer such attractive rates.
 "There never was period in Amer ican history until now when the very best securities bore such a high rate of interest. The legitimate investor enjoys opportunities for investment now not heretofore accorded. He stands to get the high rate of interest tically certain premium on these se- rates of interest descend in natura. consequence.
 Tn two to five years this descend ing process should be under way. There will then be no issues of per cent securities by strong concerns"
 Words of praise were given Ala bama Power and Woodward bonds.
 Among the industrials. the five-year B. F. Goodrich per cents and the Texas Company's three-year per cents were mentioned.
 One broker says his firm has. done a large business with the Birmingham public in Belgian and British secur- it:es and some in French and Canadian issues.
 Among the popular [ per cent bond issues are Canadian National Railway fifteen-year, Louisville and Nashville Pennsylvania ten-year and Southern Pacific
 One brokerage house is also recon mending the Texas Company's three year and the B. F. Goodrich Company's fiye-year issues.

BROKERS TELL OF
 SAFE AND SOUND
 BOND SECURITIES
Short Term Railroad Equip ment Bonds Favored By Birmingham Buyers.
 Higher Interest
By R. F. JOHNSTON

Both the investing public, as we'll as the leading brokerage and banking firms dealing in legitimate securities, seem to have a predilection for the short-term railroad equipment bonds of recent issue.
 A number of these, bearing per cent. are being offered, and the brokers agree that they are ready sellers.
 One of the leading brokers remarks:
 "The investing public that trades through reputable and well established firms is showing quite preference for the railroad equipment bonds at this time. I had one customer who the face value of his Liberty Bond holdings but, by reinvesting in per cent equipment bonds has practically doubled his investment so far as re- turns are concerned. besides which he has the prospect of an increase in the face value of the new investment"
 The head of one of the oldest broker age houses in Birmingham says:
 "We sold four to five times our all lotment of Louisville and Nashville ten-year sevens before our allotment had arrived. Business in per cent railroad equipment securities has been very brisk we sold $200,000 worth in a couple of days"
 Asked who bought municipal and state and county bonds, the reply of one broker was:
 They are purchased by the very rich, because, in spite of their low in- terest. they are exempt from taxation. However. at this particular time, when the very best securities of other kinds are being offered at ' per cent these purchasers of municipal bonds would realize more by purchasing the per cent securities. because, even after de- ductng taxes, the returns are larger than from the municipal, state and county bonds.

compared with $ss4.341.o00 for July.
This Increase, in view of the enor-
nous pressing demand for buildings
OF various classes. gives some indica-
ton OF reawakened interest in carry
ing out the years building program.
An idea of the amount of deferred
construction at present may be gained
from the figures on contemplated
projects reported by the F. w. Dodge
Company for the first eight months of
the year, which have reached the sum
OF $3.661, $4,000. Normally the
amount OF contracts awarded during
the same period would amount to
about two-thirds of the amount of
work projected. Consequently, tn pre-
serve the normal proportion. contracts
awarded for the eight months should
amount to about s2.4o0. .00o, 900. where
as the actual amount is $1.952.52S, 900
leaving a deficit OF about $3.50, 900, 900
worth OF construction.
Contracts awarded in the first
eight months of 1920. amounting to
81. 52,52S, 900. compare most favorably
with the amount for the same period
in 1919, which was $1,596,314.000.
The indications for the remainder
of the year are that succeeding
months will show greater activity
than has been in evidence during the
summer months"

Figures.

Building operations in the terri
tory comprising the District of CO.
lumbia, Philadelphia and Baltimore
showed q marked falling of during
August, as compared with July oper-
ations. according to figures prepared
by the F. W. Dodge Company. A de-
cline in aggregate value Of contracts
Of per cent was noted.
The value of building contracts for
the entire district. including the Dis
trict Of Columbia. eastern Pennsylva-
mia, southern New Jersey, Maryland,
$21. $4,000, the compilation shows.
The August Total.
The August total included: $4,649,-
900, or 21 per cent. for residential
buildings: $4.634,000, or 81 per cent
for industrial. plants; ss.s9s.ooo, or
is per cent. for business buildings.
and $3,076, 900. or IA per cent. for pub
lie works and utilities.
Encouragement for the near future
10 seen in the amount OF contemplated
work reported in August, which was
344.6s6.o 900. compared with $3l,s14.-
900 in July.
Contemplated work reported for this
district from January ! to September
/ has amounted to $3.50, ,s0s.000. COM
pared with $243.35a.0OO for contracts
awarded. The projected work for the
drst eight months Of the year in
ciudes: $l34.s2o. 900 for public works
and utilities; $125,6S6,00o for residen-
tiai buildings: $10t. 900 for indus
trial plants and s74,s2s,ooo for busi-
ness buildings
The statistics show, however, that
the building situation throughout the
country at large improved consider
ahIy during August. Contracts award
ed in that period in. the Twenty-Five
states comprising the northeastern
quarter Of the country amounted to
$2o5. 651. 900, as against $2o4,Sss'ooo
| for July.
Other Data Complied.
The Dodge Company comments on
the figures as follows:
while this increase is not sumcfent
in itself to indicate an upward trend
in construction activity. there are
other factors which encourage the be-
lief that the temporary slump Is near
ly over.
"The amount of contemplated work
reported in August was 1857. 900.
