Curb Trading Dull
AS Interest Lays:
Buying Spasmodic
Price Changes Narrow and
Irregular, but Tone Re-
mains Steady; Outcome
of Convention Is Awaited

Although trading on the curb mar
ket yesterday was almost at stand
still as the result of light demand, the
the professional element could do little
in the way Of exertng pressure on
weak stocks. Buying was spasmodic,
with here and there some orders for
issues which seemed to be attractive
at bargain quotations.
Because of the sluggish character of
the market fluctuations were narrow
and generally unimportant. Chicago
Nipple, a newcomer, was active for a
offerings became abundant, when the
price eased off slightly. The upturn
netted slight net gain. however.
General Asphalt eased off tride when
buying slackened. Other industrials
we're quiet, at prices ranging close to
the final quotations for Saturday.
Independent oils moved irregularly,
with Carb Syndicate, Indian Refining,
Maracaibo and Mexican Panuco selling
lower in contrast to higher prices for
Merit Oil, Tropical and Ryan Consoli-
dated. Midwest Refining was higher for
a time, but remained net unchanged.
RYAN Petroleum and Simms were sold
at recessions
United Drug rights sold lower, but
Royal Dutch rights held firm at 49,.
Shell Transport rights moved within
narrow range and closed at the high
of 205s.
German internal bonds were frac-
tionally lower and demand for Ameri
can bonds sold on the curb was easier,
although prices did not decline notice
ably.
Net earnings Of the Shaffer Oil and
Refining Company for the twelve
months ended May 81 were reported
Yesterday as follows: Gross, Sl0,s07,-
497; operating expenses, $6.949 ,9s5;
net earnings before deduction for
federal taxes, $3,s57,512. Net earnings
for May, 1920, increased s115,042 COM
pared with May, 1919.

oSee! aH,s es s.., United States Rubber 5s? Your
aoVlse VIII be greatly appreciated-T. D.
Answer-1t seems to US that holders
OF short term securities should con-
slider the opportunities offered at pres
ent to obtain long term investments at
attractive figures. While we do not
know what the trend of the bond mar
Ket Will be over the next few years it
is our opinion that when bonds ma
turlng IN one or two years from now
TALL due it may be difficult to obtain
any such high rates for permanent in
vestments as are now offered. The
United States Steel bonds and the
united States Rubber bonds are en-
titled to high ratings. The railroad
oonds on your list are not very high
grade, although all offer speculative in
vestment possibilities. If you would
invest your funds wisely, not attempt
ing, to obtain too high a yield, thus
perhaps jeopardizing your principal.
you might consider the following: St.
Paul general 4 per cent, 1889; illinois
Steel AZ per cent, 1910; New York
Dock per cent, 1851; American Tele
phone per cent, 1916; New York
delephone Az per cent, 1899; Denver
O. no Grande first per cent, 1896;
Wabash first per cent, 1889. These
issues yield from 61s per cent to over
8 per cent.

Puzzled by Low Quotation

Question--Will you kindly give mo vour
opinion p,ic OF the value Of International Mer-
CAntile Marine preferred as an investment
what interest should 1t yield and are there
any undstributed dividends which might
pe distri buted at future time and 80
make 1T more attractive as an Investment
Also what do you think Of Interna tional
.'io Motor Truck preferred? 1t is listed to
tation should yield over per cent. Can
you explain its present low quo,atlon? AS
motor truck sales seem to be booming, It
looks like a good investment Is that the
company which makes the Mack trucks !?
A. j. NE.
Answer--There is always more or
less risk in the purchase of shipping
shares. Earnings of these companies
usually show considerable variation
over a period of years. The Interna-

of the war. There are now only Al
per cent of back dividends owing on
the preferred stock. Of this amount 5
per cent has been declared payable
August 2 next. The president of the
company stated short time ago that
no definite policy had been adopted to
pay off these arrears, but that if the
earnings warranted it would be done
gradually The stock pays per cent
and at its present price offers, in our
opinion, very good speculative in
vestment opportunity. International
Motor Truck Corporation, makers of
the Mack truck, is very successful
company. The 7 per cent preferred
stock selling on a basis to yield about
8 per cent is in conformity with most
issues of this class. The high yield
is due more to present money condi-
tions than to any weakness in the
affairs Of the company. We regard it
as very fair investment.

opinion Of the following stocks as an in
yestinent? Coca Cola common. Continental
Candy common. Day Consolidated copper
common. WHY'S Overland common.-
We do not recommend any of the
stocks you mention for investment
all are highly speculative. Dividends
are by no means stable, the stocks be-

You should confne your Investments

you can give me as to the safety OF same:

1892. IL per cent Baltimore ts Ohio 6 pcr
cent. 1929, per cent. TeXon Oil and Land
stock. per cent.-R. s.
Answer-Your securities represent a
very fair investment, altogether. The
only issues which are speculative are
Pennsylvania and Texon Oil and Land
stocks. Pennsylvania, like ost other
roads, is in more or less uncertain
position. If rate increases are ample,
the present dividend should be con-
tinued. The proportion of the oil stock
to your total holdings is so small that
we do not believe it weakens your posi-
tion materially, although you probably
realize that it is highly speculative.

A BUSINESS MAN ON POLITICS

Entirely informal as it was, the
little talk that John Borg, of New York
city, gave to a little group of business
men on Saturday vas none the less
interesting and instructive. Mr.. Borg
came to the west out Of the mael-
strom of the worlds greatest fnan-
,cial district, and he has the view
point of the man of large affairs.
But, interested though he is in great
business undertakings, he finds 1t
worth his while to attend local meet
tngs, and to serve on precinct and
ward committees in the little subur-
ban town of which he is a resident.
He does not profess to be the discov-
erer of the principle that it is the duty
OF the citizen to interest himself in
the conduct of public business, wheth-
er it be the business Of the nation or
that Of some little obscure commun-
ity. But he is thoroughly convinced
that the principle is sound, and that
failure on the part Of many able and
influential people to put it into prac-
tice is the thing that is responsible
for very many of our political ills.
He points out that men who would
not think Of e%ntrusting ever minor
details of their own business to other
thar experienced and competent per-
sons seem satisfied to leave to the
unfit and incompetent the manage
ment of the public work whose results
are Of the most far-reaching kind,
and he insists that the only way in
which good government. can be Sc
cured is through the effort of mon
and women who really desire good
government, and who will. devote to
it enough of their time and energy
to bring it to pass.

ON DINING WITH QUARREIsOME
CM1I1 4EC

OAN D11N11NU Will OOilt6tkE IL
COUPLES.
I freely confess there are good friends
of mine,
With whom we are often invited to
dine,
Who get on my nerves so that I can
not eat
Or stay with my usual ease in my seat.
For I know that if something should
chance to occur
Which he may not like or which
doesn't please her,
That we'll have to try to be pleasant
somehow
While they stage a fine little family
row.
Now a family row is a private affair,
And guests, I am certain, should never
be there;
I have freely maintained that a man
and his wife
Cannot always agree on their journey
through life,
But they ought not to bicker and
wrangle and shout
And show of their rage when their
friends are about;
1t takes all the JOY from a party, /
When some couple starts UP a family
It's a difficult job to stay cool and
polite
When you host and your hostess are
staging a fight;
It's hard to talk sweet to a dame with
a frown
Or smile at a man that you want to
knock down;
You sit like a dummy and look far
away, $50
But o just can't help hearing the
harsh things they say.
1t ruins the dinner, I'm telling you
now,
When your host and your hostess yet
mixed in a row.
