WANTS To INVEST IN MINING
STOCKS.
A. r. ST. am n single young man
and have $500 to invest, and am
thinking of spreading Il on Alaska
Gold and Alaska Juneau, quoted
respectively at x and y. Do you
think l will be reasonably safe in
going into these ventures?
Answer-These stocks are highly
speculative mining ventures. We do
not believe that a man possessing only
$500 can AFFORD to take big chances
Doubtless the small prices serve as
an attraction for you and you prob
ably think that these stocks bought
now and held few years will return
a goodly profit. Perhaps you are
right. But who knows? There are
plenty of investment speculations in
the market that offer a much greater
degree of safety and promise fair
speculative rewards. Because a stock
is small in price II doesn't follow that
1t is n bargain. Usually the reverse
is true

A HOPEFUL SIGN.

A distinctly hopeful sign in the in
dustrial trend is the Improvement
generally noted in the transportation
situation. There is less criticism
over lack of cars to move goods. The
quicker handling of freight by the
railroads has had a stimulating effect
in various fields of industry.
Growth of optimism among bust
ness is said to be approaching a
greater degree of stability. Reports
further state that in many leading
districts despite a demand which is
lower than a year ago. some factories
are kept going, not alone upon new
orders, but upon orders which have
accumulated for the past few months.
Officials state that the spirit OF
hesitancy manifested over price re-
auctions is still in evidence, but not
in such a pronounced degree as when
the price cutting began. Reports
seem to indicate there will be a con-
tinuation in revival of buying.

PRICE SLASH!NG
AIDS RETAIL TRADE
Hopeful Outlook Looms Up for
Business During Winter,
SAYS Reserve Board.

Slashing of prices has caused a re-

reports made to the Federal Reserve
Board from various reserve bank

While considerable uncertainty still
exists over the price changes, having
an effect in the placing of orders
largely to meet current demands, the
price slump in many lines has given
buying a measure of impetus.

The suit is not brought with the

We believe that in approving the de-
post involved he and his assistants
acted in the utmost good faith and
upon competent legal advice; that theY
acted under an Interpretation Of the
law which had long obtained both in
the department as well as among
bankers generally. We believe their
Interpretation was correct, and we are
asking for an authoritative decision to
that effect. So far as we know there
is no dispute as to the facts and the
question is purely one of law.
I'VE have no unfriendly feeling to-
ward Mr.. Wilson and in view of his
doubts as to his legal obligation re-
specting our claim it is not unnatural
that he should desire the supreme
court to pass on the question"
