Bankers Engage Gold for
Shipment to Argentina
Consignment of $3O,000,O0O
VIII Probably BE Sent in
Next EMO Weeks

Bankers here have contracted for the
shipment of $30,O00,000 more OF gold to
Argentina, it was learned Yesterday.
]rasmuch as shipping facilities happen
to be unusually good during the next
fortnight, it is expected that the entire
consignment will be sent within two
weeks. The gold is to adjust the trade
balance, which is slightly more than
normally in favor of the South Ameri-
can country, as the result of heavy i'm
portations into the United States of
hides and wool.
In preparing for the shipments the
local Sub-Treasury received $4,000 900
in gold eagles from the Philadelphia
mlnt to replenish it's supply. The funds
came in motor trucks, guarded by men
armed with heavy-caliber rifles. The
National City Bank, the Mechanics and
Metals Bank, the Equitable Trust Com
pany and the Columbia Trust Company
ale among the institutions which are
making the shipment to Argentina.
Although the Argentine government
has not yet approached the South
American banking group to discuss it's
May Is maturity, which amounts to
$25,00O0c0 and G5,00O,0OO, it was
learned yesterday that the Argentine
government is considering paying off
this loan and floating new dollar loan
amounting to $25,000,O0O. Practically
all the sterling bonds are in this coun-
Try, so the operation would mean cut

advance of to % points.
The opening was 10 to Il points higher
and the active months sold about 70 to 50
points above Saturdays closing figures
during the first few minutes. But the de-
nand from March was much less active
than recently. suggesting that the more
urgent needs OF shorts had been supplied
early bulge met good deal OF realizing.
Prices eased off in consequences, with
March selling 10 points and later months mt
die OF the day. after which the proht
taking was less active and prices rallied
reports of better spot demand in the
shorts. May contracts which had sold Off
from 35.l7c to S4.69c, closed at 34.9Sc.
With active months generally showing raj
lies of 80 to 80 points from the lowest.
The carly lull in the demand for March
was taken by some traders as Indicating
that the short interest had been reduced TO
was noted that offerings failed to increase
at /, premium of 800 points over May.
One of the prominent local spot firms

Missouri, Pacific vs.. St. Paul

Question: HIVE a few hundred dollars
that | want to t..<e Il chance with and have
been advised by broker to buy Missouri
Pacific preferred utock or Chicago. Mlwau-
kee e. St. Paul preferred. would like to
know if you think either of these stocks
would be q reasonably good speculation and
which of the two you consider best. H., Also SO
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul preferred.--
Il. J, D.
Answer-Both Missouri Pacific pre-
ferred and St. Pa1l preferred are
speculative because it remains to be
seen how the railroads will fare under
the new legislation. Missouri Pacific
has been doing better under Federal
control than St. Paul. This may not
be the case under the new order OF
things. The former preferred stock is
cumulative per cent fr,m June 30,
1913, while the latter is ron,cumu!a-
tive. That fact might be Of advantage
in the purchase of Missouri Pacific
preferred. Neither pays a dividend at
present. Both are 500 par.
