Exc .ange Rates Against Her

Qucstion-May ask YOU for little
advice have a sister living in Switzer-
land who has read in tho Swiss papers
mat the Swiss government has to pay
per cent on a loan, which believe was
taken up in this country. No doubt this
has awakened her mind to the fact that
ohe would receive much larger returns for
her money II she would invest in this
country don't know how much money
my sister has-probably 5000 francs. de-
posted In Swiss savings bank. paying
written to me for advice, whether could
invest her money in this country in safe
way and yielding or per cent. My
s'stcr is alone, not married. and could not
AFFORD to take any chances of losing part
or her capital. I myself have no expert
ence in Investments, and am therefore
writing you for your opinion. Are bonds
better than preferred stocks or are stocks
b'tter than bonds? Another question: I

receiving 3.is per cent interest. would
like to invest $500 or 1000 where my
money would yield larger returns. What
would YOU advise me to buy?-R. o. b.
Answer-We see little advantage in
your sister sending funds here for in
vestment The exchange rate is against
such transaction at present, and in
the event that she did purchase Swiss
external bonds here it is very likely
that exchange on Switzerland would
use in price, thus causing her dollar
Investment to depreciate. For your
self, we suggest Liberty bonds for a
starter-the fourth IA S, for instance.

Irregular tendencies prevailed on
the Curb yesterday, where the same
influences which have been unsettling
sentiment for several days were dom
nant. Attendance on the outside market
was reduced by the unfavorable
weather conditions. Most of the bust
ness transacted was of professional
origin.
There was further selling Of oil
shares, with the result that certain
prominent issues touched new lows
for the movement. Garth Syndicate

No Need to Sell His Bonds

Question-What, in your judgments is
pest ABOUT holding or selling the follow
ing: chicago e. Great Western first mort
gage bonds, per cent; Western Light &
I"Nrr hrst mortgage bonds. ) per cent,
Denver Gas Electric first mortgage
BOMBS. per cent; New York. Westminster
Boston first mortgage bonds. AZ per
c"ht nave some OF these bonds and
would IKE to have your advice as to sell
ing at present or not.-S c..
Answer-lf you hold these bonds for
investment we see no reason to sell
them at present. The two public utility
issues are we'll secured, and while the
railroad bonds are not high grade. we
believe the future is brighter for such
securities, as the railroads are in a
tar better position than at any time
during the last two years. The New
orK, Westchester & Boston bonds are
not earning their interest. but the in
terest has been regularly paid by the
New Haven, and we know of no present
reason why this should not continue.

The Bottom Dropped Out

so low? saw in the paper that the
Hoiden Gate mad Il new mill to construct
What has happened e c.
Answer Golden Gate Exploration
stocks decline from a high of S4 a
share to current price of around
70 cents is explained by the fact that
the company has never got far beyond
the prospect stage. Like many mining
shares, the stock was doomed for a
time after the organization of the
company and then allowed to seek its
own level in the market, which it
promptly did by dropping from the
dollar to the cents class. The com
pany owns gold mine in the famous
Mother Lode vein of California. A
stamp mill is being built for handling
the ore.

Likes WESTINGHOUSE Common

Question-Will you kindly give me YOUR
opinion as to the feasibility of changing
I9o o shares of New York Central, bought at
~. for estinghouse common at present
prices for a long pull?-C. *. W
Answer-By changing from New York
Central to Westinghouse you would in
crease your income, based upon pres
ent dividend However, both issues
are speculative, inasmuch as both are
sensitive to earnings and dividends are
subject to change. The fact that there
IS uncertainty regarding the future of
the railroads perhaps renders New York
Central stock the more speculative The
present dividend rate on Westinghouse,
per cent, or $4 a share, is being
earned by fair margin, and for that
reason we are inclined to the belief
that your position would be less specu-
latlVe if you made the change.

Diversity in 1000 Investment

Queston--What do YOU think of tho fol
lowing investment for 81 900: 5000 Sinclair
on a per cent notes. 5000 Argentine Coy
eminent 5s, $500 French Government Ss.
sZ00 pennsylvania Railroad or New York
central or Delaware G Hudson Is. 5000 St.
Louis e. San Francisco adjustment 5s or
heading Railroad general 4s?-T. S. H.
Answer Your list is rather we'll di-
versified, and although the securities
are not all of the best grade We see
no reason why they do not form a very
fair Investment. The Sinclair notes.
while we'll enough secured, represent a
business which is subject to consider
able changes, and the Frisco adjust
ment bonds are not particularly we'll
secured. The Reading 4 per cent bonds
are too high for your purposes. You
might substitute 5000 st. Louis e. San
Francisco prior lien per cent, 1850.
