Monday F. Z. Motteler and son

lance away but he soon saw the old
bear come over ridge toward him
and he shot at her. Finally the cubs
came toward him and he shot one of
them. The others he could have
killed, he says, but one was all he
cared for. The old bear escaped and
he saw her after coming home when
she returned to round up the cubs.
In the afternoon several men were
out securing the mountainsde for the
bear, but did not find them and got
to shooting at marks, causing the
people down town to think that the
whole bear population of the Cas-
cades were coming to town and that
all the hunters were required to pre-
vent an invasion.

Mr.. Austin's trip east: Harry D.
Austin, director of the National Au-

morrow for Chicago to attend the an
nual session Of that body which will
be hold September 9 and 10. Mr. Aus

of great Importance in the automo-
tive industry will be discussed and
that grave issues will be met and
dealt with. On his return, Mr.. Aus.
tin will visit San Francisco, Los An
gcles and other California cities. az
expect the matter of automobile
prices to be vital within the next 60
days" said Mr.. Austin yesterday. at
may be that such things will be dis
cussed at the meeting. Personally I
believe that those persons who are
waiting for drop in prices are des-
tined to receive the surprise of their
lives, or, in other words, an advance.
1t would not surprise me to see two
| advances in motor car prices within
the next so days. One advance is
bound to come from the local dealer
as a result of the increased freight
rates. The purchaser must stand the
freight rate plus the factory cost on
his car. and this is certain to be felt
shortly. Then, in my opinion, when
the factories begin ordering new ma
terials to build into automobiles, the
added freight rate will find the fac
tory price increasing to take care of
this advance" Mr.. Austin expects TO
get the latest data on the motor car
/ situation on this trip, which he char
acteriZes as Gone of the most import
ant of my many trips Fast this year.

Gold Is Coming to

Shipment Will Be Part of
Plan to Meet Obligations
Due OH October 18th:
Declines to Discuss Loan

Jean V. Parmentier, special repre-
sentative here of the Minister of
Flnance at Paris, yesterday afternoon
received financial reporters in the
office of the French Finance Commits
sion at Rector Street. NJ. Parmen-
tier indicated that it was too early to
discuss the probable nature Of the
l.Soposed loan which he is negotiating
tor the purpose of raising funds to
meet part of Frances obligations in
connection with the Anglo-F French loan
which will mature on October IS next
He said that flow of gold to this
country from Paris will soon begin.
1t is not believed the amount will ex
ceed $4,000, 600
The financial envoy spoke chiefly of
Frances new taxation. He declared
that whereas Frances income from
taxes was 4,200, 100000 francs in 1913
it will be 10000, 900 francs in 1920.
The normal taxes will yield 1850 ,OOO.-
600 francs, according to conservative
estimates, and new taxes which went
into effect on July l will bring in
$500, 1000, 900 francs.

Investor Demands 8 Per Cent

Question: have about $1,000 to In
vest ,,', TO get as near per cent as possible
What do you think of American Tele-
phone Telegraph stock American Car
Foundry, Atchison common, Marine pre-.
lerred or. obnds, United Kingdom 1922 & u
10 yield SIS, Union Tank Car Company
equipment trust gold notes per cent to
yield 7%o, and Sinclair Consolidated Oil
Corporation 8 years IA convertible gold
notes to yield pei. cent? What about
Goodyear Tire and Rubber preferred and
suggest something that is.-K p.
Answer-There are several issues ~
short term investments recently foated
which yield the investor 8 per cent
We do not regard them as high grade,
however. If you insist upon per
cent you must not expect to obtain
securities of the best rating. The Union
Tank Car Equipments are entitled to
a good rating in our opinion, as are
the various equipments of the Virginia
Railway, Canadian Pacific, and Cana
dian National Railways, which yield
from per cent to 7 II per cent Ameri-
can Telephone shows earnings at pres
ent at the rate of about II per cent
per annub. 1t is not high grade in
at present why the 8 per cent divi-
dends should not be maintained. Stocks
like American Car G. Foundry, Atch-
son common and Marine preferred are
speculative They are very sensitive
to earnings Marine bonds are a very
fair investment, in our opinion. Sim
clair notes are not high class invest
ment, we think. Goodyear preferred
stock is a very fair investment but
the common stock is speculative. We
believe that the bonds of Great Britain
are safe, although the purchase of any
foreign bond is attended by a certain
element of risk, due to possible politi-
cal complications, which may affect the
issues. This appears remote in the
case of Great Britain, however If
you desire as near 8 per cent as pos
sible with minimum of risk, we sug-
eest your considering the equipment
issues.
