At the opening of the wheat marke t
yesterday selling orders predominated
because Of the improvement reported in
European political conditions
drop of 612c bushel under the
close OF Friday resulted from the pres
sure, but later efforts to replace sales
for the weekend led to recoveries
which restored about half of the loss
and the market closed steady at q net
decline Of ~ to cents. A disappont-
ing feature was The continued absence
OF export interest, the British COM
mission being still out of the market
Increased offerings Of cash wheat
from the West, however, are expected
to stimulate foreign buying and to
increase the movement which for some
time has been relatively small.
With the exception Of further COM
plants from the Canadian Northwes t

Curb Trading Dull
AS Market Drifts;
Asphalt Depressed
Petroleum Group Steadier
i'll Light Activity, and
lndustrials Hold Fair
ly Well; Changes Small

There was little Of interest to attract
traders attention on the curb market
in the brief session yesterday, and
prices continued to drift in the unset
tied situation. With the exception Of
General Asphalt and one or two others
stocks moved within narrow limits and
net changes at the end of trading were
narrow.
Pressure on General Asphalt was
again felt severely, and prices melted
away until the issue touched a new low
record of AN, with the final sale at
as, off 4 points net. Nothing has been
brought to the attention Of the market
to account for the steadily declining
value of this stock except the unsettled
foreign situation, which has caused de-
clines in most all securities. 1t sold
as high as rs in the upturn immedi-
ately after July 4, but sank rapidly as
soon as prices throughout the list be-
gan to come down.
Others Of the industrial list we're
little changed. Aetna Explosives was
slightly easier, but Caracas Sugar and
Gardner Motors were trihe stronger.
Indian Packing showed a slight upturn,
while North American Pulp and Paper
and United Retail Candy were steady.
The oils were virtually unchanged
from the previous days final quota
tions and prices were unaffected by
developments. Carib Syndicate held
steady as did Midwest Refining. Mara
caibo Oil was easier, while Ryon Con-
solidated moved up fractionally Simms
was trife lower, but White Oil held
steady.

Is somewhat OF a jolt. to say" the least
Nj. ID. i.
Apswer-When the government was
floating it's Liberty loans every one
knew that it was obtaining money be-
Tow the prevailing rates of interest. To
be. sure there is no better investment
IN. existence than United States GOV
ernmcnt issues, but it was the great
patriotism Of the American people
which made these loans so successful.
Very few citizens figured on the inter-
est return. This enormous expenditure
OF funds and other factors brought
about condition which caused all
forms OF investments to decline in
plce. You are quite right when you
state that the government admonished
bonds, and while many of US were
sull paying for these bonds it was
found that it cost more to borrow the
money than was being received on the
bonds. Perhaps, after all, we should
realize that the loss sustained by these
bondholders who We're forced to sell
is very small compared with what
might have been the loss had we not
been successful in the war Let us not
complain now because selling bonds
means the loss of few dollars We are
still free people. Remember that a
bond is not cash, but a promise to pay
at certain date. We believe the bonds
will be paid on the dot. The question
of good faith on the governments part
does not enter at all. When you bought
the bond you were lending $50 For a
stated period. You take loss because
now you demand your money back
ahead of time. We know of no organi-
cation philanthropic enough to pur-
chase bonds for 16 per cent more than
they may be purchased in the open
market

shares are highly speculative. When
a company is showing large earnings
the result is reflected in a high price
for the common stock and dividends
arc frequently increased. At that time
people are attracted by such issues,
not stopping to consider that with a
let-up in business the stock will almost
invariably sell down. During the war
period almost all manufacturing COM
panies made enormous profits. Is it
reasonable to expect that they will con-
tinuc after the abnormal times are
over? We think not. We do not know
what the future of the leather trade
will be. We are not surprised how
ever, that results at present are just
what they are. If you desire to invest
your funds The Tribune will gladly
make suggestions. AS for speculation
it is matter upon which we make no
attempt to give advice.

Cities Service Bankers Shares

vice on cities Service Bankers shares.
During the year they were quoted up TO

appears to be good substantial stock,
vet conservative. Your information as an
Investment would be greatly appreciated.
M. Il.
Answer The Cities Service Com
pany is large Garner. The company
derives q great deal of its income
from oil production, thus making the
common stock of the company rather
speculative. Dividends on Bankers
shares are paid in irregular amounts.
Bankers shares are issued in small
amounts, each representing one-tenth
of ore share Of the company's common
stock, deposited with the Bankers
Trust Company. Holders receive regu-
lar per cent dividends and the stock
dividends on the regular common stock
so deposited are liquidated and the
amounts paid to Bankers shareholders,
We do not recommend the Bankers
shares for conservative jnves tment.
