The Days Bond Market

The Tribune prints each day the mo-
tuTity dates Of all active bonds quoted
on the Neso York Stock Exchange. The
return on a bond TO the investoy depends
upon three factors: the rate Of interest
the security bears, the market price
and the distance of the maturity date.
To figure the precise yield on bond it
is necessary to use yield tables, but the
approximate yield car roughly be figured
out By the following formula: Diuide
the closing quotation on bond into
the rate of interest it pays, and the re-
suit 10ilI be the annual return. II the
bond is selling below par you must
alIoto also for the appreciation Of the
principal To do this subtract the mar
ket quotation from par, or 100, and d.
vide the remainder BY the number Of
years the bond has to run before mu-
turitg. For eaampLe, if per cent
bond is selling at 80 aud hos test yeurt
to run, the annual return will be CSC
per cent. The difference betaoeem par
and the market price will be 10 points,
subtrocting go from 100. Dividing ten
points by ten gears, the Quotisnt .0iu be-
1. This figure is to be added to 600,
which is the cnnnal return, and the re-
suit 700 per cent, will givs you the ap-
pro1imGte yield.
