ABOUT so, having in mind both tho invest
ient and the speculative features OF the
STOCK. what do YOU adviser would
n.so appreciate your opinion Of Middle
"'~'es oIl from the same angles--F. c. II.
Answer-lf it is your intention to
throw out an anchor to windward while
things are going we'll, Anaconda and
Middle States Oil are both too specu-
lative. Copper stocks are in bad
way now because the selling price is
below the cost Of production There
IS so great supply Of the metal over
hanging the market that YOU cannot
teil when they will stop losing money.
Middle States Oil has been ~ bad actor
marketwise. Unless you are prac
tlscd speculator and can watch the
market we advise you to keep away
from common stocks for the present.
Buy bond or preferred stock. We
suggest International Mercantile Ma
rine per cent bond, l941, to Weld
ABOUT $40 per cent. price about rs. or
Virginia Carolina Chemical preferred
stock at about 81, TO yield So per cent
Both these securities have speculative
possibilities. We believe the income

Question-J am a widow and have been
Ieit S3,OO0 by my deceased husba nd. May
ask YOU TO rleasc let me know what you
consider a safe investment, something to
yield me about per cent?-(Mrs) X. L.
Answcr-W fear you are looking for
too high yield There are many Sc
curities available to-day which return
8 per cent more than that. But surely
your $4,000 is Of the most Importance
to YOU. The difference between'6 per
cent and S per cent on $4,000 is 500 a
year, IS a month rather small
amount to bother about when so much
may be at stake. Nor do we imply that
ali per cent investments are unsafe.
Yet during these uncertain times CON
servatism may be we'll rewarded.
Therefore, we will Give you list Of Sc
curities which we believe are sound and
su table for your purposes: General

Answer Virginia. Carolina Chemical
preferred stock sold off when the new
issue Of bonds was brought out. It
was stated at the time that the com
pany had experienced some difficulty
IN making collections from the farm
ers. However, the general invest
ment market has been rather heavy.
We DO not regard the position Of this
stock as being poor by any means.
iechnlcal conditions are largely re-
sponslble for the fall in price. in our
opinion. The president of the Meridian
Petroleum Company was quoted as
stating last September that net income
after Al! deductions, including charges
on $l,O00000 OF new per cent notes,
was averaging 81 800 900 per annum.
We have no further data.

kind. but unless you can afford to

The French Bond Position.

The duration of the syndicate which
offered s10O.0o0.000 OF French Govern
ment 71a per cent. bonds, has been ex-
tended to August /. with reservation
of further extension Of sixty days II
needed. The syndicate managers expect
nevertheless that the unsold balnace.
which amounted to S13. 900, 900 when the
books were closed on June Z. and which
Is now in the neighborhood of 10000
600, will he cleaned UP during the next
six weeks. Effective on June 1S. ac-
cording to telegram sent out on June
s, the commission or compensation for
selling the bonds has been raised to ga
per cent, with a concession of only half
OF a point to dealers and banks with
bond departments. At the outset of the
French bond offering the members of
the syndicate, which became liable for
the bonds at 81 were to receive / per
cent. commission or compensation for
sales to the extent Of participation. and
per cent on amounts sold In excess of
the participation. The increased selling
commission therefore ranges from II OF
I per cent to 1 "a per cent, and applies
only to the balance unsold at the begin
ming of business on June f3. Sales now
are confirmed in the order Of receipt at
the offices OF j. 2. Morgan * Co, the
syndicate managers The change In the
rate of commission affects only the 4
points between the price OF 81 to the
members of the distributing syndicate
and the price of 95, at which the bonds
were offered to the public. AS far as
Il has gone the issue is well placed and
sales are going on steadily and daily.

NEWS AND NOTES
OF BOND MARKET

Books for the offering of an aggregate
of $500, 900. 900 one year Treasury certi-
ficates bearing interest at 6la per cent
and three year United States Govern
ment notes bearing interest at "a per
cent are scheduled to be closed to-day
and reports are that the aggregate OF
subscriptions to them are heavily in
excess of $500 100000 and consequently
allotments on subscriptions may have to
be made. Many banks in the local re-
serve district have sold 10 investors their
entire subscription. for which they have
to make no payment in cash but in
stead enter the amounts on their books
as a book credit in favor of the Treas
urer of the United States. The demand
for the certificates and notes is very
keen, according to dealers who specialize
in that sort OF transaction. and Wall
Street takes the position that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury hit the market right
with his interest rates of ~ and 5A
per cent. on the notes offered for sub
scription at par.
