Answer-We do not suggest individ-
ual firms. There are many New York
stock Exchange houses which advertise
IN The Tribune. Why do you not com
munlcate with one of them 1t is best
10 consider firm which maintains an
investment department. There is all
ways a chance of political complica-
tons developing in foreign countries.
For that reason many foreign bonds
appear to us to be largely speculative,
II is difficult, too, always to keen in
touch with the affairs of countries so
faf distant We do not imply that the
Chinese bonds are not safe. We simplv
wish to draw the attention of investors
to these possibilities. 4

New Jersey Zinc Speculative

. Question-Will you kindly advise II the
to-day at ls3-lSS. is not a good invest
ment; also ii this stock should not in
crease in value ?--S. M
Answer-New Jersey Zinc Company
is well-managed corporation. 1t has
shown good earning power for several
years. You should remember, how
ever. that dividends on such an issue
are dependent upon earnings and that
as earnings are sure to fuctuate. divi-
dcnds may change also. For the bust
ness man, who keeps in touch with
affairs, we regard the stock as a very
fair investment.

Fidelity CAPITAL CorDoration

Observation-Disclosures give me your opinion
about the Fidelity Capital Corporation of
boston understand it deals in the un-
derwriting of high grade listed stocks and
bonds, also prime bank paper. Would ap-
preciate your advice cs to whether this is
a good investment.-K. Il. b.
Answer-Fidelity Capital Corporation,
through the Capital Service Co, sells
non-voting stock to the public and then
takes the money and trades in stocks
and bonds, an operation which prudent
Investors prefer to do for themselves.
The incorporators have the voting com
mon sewed up in voting trust so that
if the water should be squeezed out Of
the common they still would control
the company. These companies are
akin to the II. V. Greene outfit, of Bos-
ton, which is barred from operating in
Maine and which The Tribune has dis
cussed before.

money II this is good venture. ! am a

Answer - Options on marks are a
gamble, and a bad gamble at that. be-
cause the odds are far and away against
you. You will notice that marks must
go up about point and one e-half be-
tore you begin to win anything. AS a
matter of fact, they are just as likely
to go down as up. If you must specu-
late IN marks, buy them, or sell them
short, on margin, if you please. Then.
II you win you get your share of the
winnings. If you bet wrong you will
not lose any more than if you bought
an option. Marks, in our opinion. arc
not an investment, but a gamble. We

Acknowledgements have declined
only because we have been confronted
by rather unusual situation in the
money market. While those who have
been forced to sell Liberty bonds are
unfortunate, because the price has de-
cllned, 1t has been a great opportunity
for those who are able to buy them at
the present time. There is no better
security in tho world. They may be
taken to any bank at any time and
money will be lent on them because
they constitute the very best collateral
tor loan. Do not be attracted by
nigh income returns. You have saved
this money by hard work, no doubt.
Place the proceeds in Liberty bonds.
We recommend the fourth Liberty loan,
not because there is any difference in
the obligations of the United States.
but because they yield more than any
OF the long term issues. Do not
