THIEVES ROB HovcHkIss STORE
AND GET AWAY WITH GOODS

An entrance was effected to the
Duke-Hanson Mercantile company's
store at Hotchkiss sometime during
the night Saturday. and several hun
dred dollars worth OF merchandise,
principally mems clothing. was spirit
ed away. A quantity Of knives and
razors was also taken.
The burglars worked through the
cellar. carrying the goods out the side
door and evidently putting it into q
waiting automobile. thouEA the char

such that tracks could not be traced.
The company has offered reward
for the arrest Of the parties. and also
for the return of any or all of the
goods. and 1t is probable that the

Are such bonds free OF taxes? What Is
your opinion of such investment &c. A. e.
Answer-There are three issues Of
Swedish government internal bonds
which are dealt in here, the 8 per
cent loan of 1888, payable at option Of
the government, quoted between 80
and 81, the conversion loan per cent,
due 1850, quoted between "a and SO,
and the 3 u rcr cent loan of 1908, due
after December 90, 1920, quoted be-
tween 35 and 361a. The first loan is
in denominations Of f245, e9S and $40
The second is in denominations Of
$500, e495, s198, 500, $40 los and
f19 les. The third is in denomina-
tions of $1,000, $500, e10O and $40.
All quotations are dollars per 1000
kronen. The conversion loan is free
of Swedish taxes. We find no provision
in this respect regarding the others.
The yield cannot be computed, be-
cause the price Of kronen fuctuates
from time to time. Such purchases
are speculative, owing to the fuctua-
tions of exchange. If you believe
Sweden will eventually be able to i'm
prove her trade position with this
country. the bonds may offer very good
opportunities.

York banks take over the loans which
the Cuban banks hold secured by this
sugar, but this is not feasible, accord
ing to the bankers, who claim that the
sugar is not uniform in quality and
could not be readily pooled.
Proposals for a large Cuban govern
ment security Offering in this market
which were under discussion several
weeks ago have been long since aban-
doned, owing to tho impractlca of
obtaining the necessary legislation to
make the transaction possible.

Cuba Loan Dropped
AS N. Y. Banks Fail
TO Agree on Plans
No Concerted Action to Aid
Sugar Interests by Sup.
plying Credit: Smaller
Group May Take Action

Plans for the formation of an Ameri.
can banking pool to extend substantial
credits to Cuban sugar interests in or
der to aid the island in solving it's
pressing financial troubles have been
abandoned. Representative Of several
New York banking institutions inter
ested in the proposed ARRANGEMENT
under which it was hoped to extend
credits aggregating from S35 5000, 900 to
$oo,ooo,o00 met III final conference yes
terday, and at the termination Of the
meeting announcement was made that
the program had been rejected.
One of the bankers who had partici-
pated in the discussions which have
been going on for several days in CON
nection with the projected credit ar
rangement said after the conference
that the banks have been unable to
agree on single plan of action, and
for that reason it had been deemed best
for each bank to handle the situation
as it sees fit
This means," said the banker, chat
there will be no concerted action on
the part of the group of banks which
has been considering the formation of
the pool. We found on getting to-
gether in series Of informal CON
ferences that there was too great a
divers ty of interests among the banks
to make it possible for US to join hands.
Some of the banks have branches in
Cuba, others have made loans there
through agents and others were not
directly concerned, although they have
been party to the discussions. 1t is
now a case of go as you please on the
part of the banks so far as making ad-
vances to Cuba"
The inability Of the large banking
group to get together harmoniously in
a program for ding Cuba does not
preclude the possibility Of concerted
action by smaller group, it was hinted
by bankers who still believe that some
plan Will be worked out ultimately for
meeting the situation 1t was init
mated that the National City Bank or
the Guaranty Trust Company might
take independent action to this end, al
though officials of these institutions
would make no statement on the mat
ter.
situation at close range declared yes
terday that all that can be done now to
help things will be an extension of the
moratorium. Action to this end is be-
lcved certain within the course of the
next forth ght, snce the moratorium
expires on December l.
The carry-over of the last Cuban
sugar crop, now stored in warehouses
on the island, is estimated at $50, 900
to 100000 tons, according to compe-
tent authority Cuban banks have
loaned heavily against this sugar, and
in many cases at prices considerably
above the current market quotations.

Coppers Not So Well OF Now

., QuestionUkindly give me some informa-
ton regarding Cerro de Pasco mining
stock and state whether you consider Il
consider Atchson preferred q safe invest
ment and the common q good business
~ the par value of StudebaISer, Chandler
Motors, Pressed Steel Car and American
Car and Foundry common, and whether
you consider them a good business nam
investment.-G. y. NJ.
Answer-We do not class copoer
shares as good investments. The Cerro
de Pasco Company has been q large
producer and its property is said to
contain a great amount of ore Dur
ing the war period the company earned
a substantial amount on its capitaliza-
ton, in 1917, the equivalent Of $685.
on 697, ,299 shares. In 1919 it earned
1886 on S9S,227 shares. This is the
last report published. Production thus
falling off, and the price of the metal
has shown a large decrease. 1t may be
that most copper shares have some
what discounted this condition, and for
that reason the stocks may offer spec
ulative opportunities. Atchison pre-
ferred is, in our opinion, a good in
vestment. Earnings have been ample
for many years to care for preferred
dividends nd leave substantial
amount for the common. The common
stock is speculative, less so, per-
haps, than most railroad shares,
but the fact that the railroad situa-
ton is still more or less uncertain
places the stock in this class.
Studebaker, American Car and Foun-
dry and Pressed Steel Car are 500
par value. Chandler has no par value
We regard all as speculative, because
they are very sensitive to earnings.
Dividends are based to very large ex-
tent on these earnings. and therefore
vary from time to time
