The Tribune prints each day the ma
furity dates of all active bonds quoted
on the New York Stock Exchange. The
return on q bond to the 1nvestor depends
upon three factors: the rate of interest
tho 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 can roughly be figured
out BY the following formula: Divide
the closing quotation on bond into
the rate Of interest it pays, and the re-
silt iuiH be the annual return. If the
bond is selling BELOW par you must
allow also for the appreciation Of the
principal. To do this subtract the mar
ket quotation from par, or 100. aud di-
vidc the remainder By the number Of
years the bond has to run before ma.
tuvity. For example,, il per cent
bond is selling at 30 and has ten years
to run, the annual return Will be 6.66
per cent. The difference between par
aud the murket price apiu be 10 points,
subtraciing 80 from 100. Dividing ten
points bv ten gears, the quoticnt aeill DO
1. This figure is to be added to 900,
which ia the annual return, and the re-
suit, 7.66 per cent, WiH gave you tbs
approximate yield.

vii has been very destructive. Some
OF the more determined bulls predicted
a very low September government re-
port and still lower one for October,
but those opposed to further advance at
this time pointed out that these ex-
treme predictions always accompany
such am advance as the market has
experienced in the past week.
1t was believed in some quarters of
the market that large Wall Street
short line had been covered, or partly
SO. in the last day or two.
Even the possibility of cooler
weather and showers In the Southwest,
as contained in the forecast, failed
to inspire more than a passing re-
spouse from the market at midday.
The chief bear factor perhaps was an
evidently weaker technical position Of
the market as result of its recent
perpendicular rise and the consequent
elimination Of much Of the short in
terest and rapid increase Of the long in
terest, part of it for outside or public
account Under the circumstances
therefore, traders believed that con-
tinuation of the adverse crop news
would be necessary to sustain the mar
ket at these levels without good reac-
ton meantime.
Southern spot markets, as officially
reported, shared the strength in flu

which sales do not affect existing sup

More than two million tons of sugar,
or half years supply for this coun-
try, will be carried over into next
years stocks here and in Cuba, accord
ing to indications from the latest au
thoritative estimate. The fine showing
of this years Cuban crop. the promise
of large domestic beet crop and the
improved Louisiana cane crop all ne
cessitate a revision of the estimate of
last May, which then predicted Il

estimate is 2,l25,738 tons. and this. to-

Sugar Dividend Passed
Manati Directors See Slump in
Earnings

Directors of the Manati Sugar Com
pany yesterday voted to pass the COM
mon dividend of $3.50 a share due at
this time. In statement issued after
the meeting Manuel Rionda, treas
urer, said:
"The company during the present
fiscal year paid dividends on the COM
mon aggregating TX per cent. 1t is
not possible now to estimate earnings
for the present fiscal year in view of
the fact that a large part of the crop
is still unsold. 1t is not likely, how
ever, earnings applicable to the COM
mon will exceed the amount of divi-
dends already paid on the common.
"In these circumstances and in view
Of the desirability of conserving the
surplus of the company, directors &C
cordingly decided to omit the divi-
dend ordinarily paid on the common
on September l."

Wheat Sells Lower
On Expectation of
Increased Receipts
Indications That Visible Sup
ply Would Show Big Cain
and That Growers Would
Offer Crop Freely Factor

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Wheat prices
tumbled still lower in price to-day, in
fluenced more or less by assertions
that the present movement to market
is limited only by the supply of rail
road cars available. The close was
heavy, 2Ac to 3Ac net lower, with
September s1.1sA to $1.1814 and De-
cember $1.21M to S1.22.
Corn lost l 1sc to 12c and oats &c
to Bc. Provisions finished unchanged
to SIC lower.
With country offerings in the Southwest
somewhat larger, and with gossip current
that spring wheat growers would sell
freely direct from threshers the wheat
supply total on Monday would show 3.O0O,-
600 to 100000 bushels increase. Under
such circumstances leading elevator in
terest here was a persistent seller through
out the day. and there also much
selling pressure from the Southwest. on
mand broadened out, but otherwise the
market seemed to be without and ade-
quate support and the rallies failed to
hold. Prospects that railrond rates would
be reduced between Chicago and the At
lantic seaboard had no effect on the mar
ket, as the bulk of shipments at this
time are by lake at figures much below
the rail rate.
Corn and oats declined with wheat. and
the September delivery of corn touched
the lowest August price since 1907 Sep
TENDER oats only a fraction above the
lowest level this season
Sharp downturns in the value of hogs
weakened provisions.

Refined Sugar Prices
To Drop, Federal Insists
Must Lower Quotations or Ac-
cumulate Stocks, Is View;
Crops Are Large

Refners will be forced again to re-
duce prices or else to accumulate re-
fined stocks, says the Federal Sugar
Refining Company in its weekly market
review, and the sporadic demand which
has been apparent will soon be salts
ned, if recent large purchases by re-
timers are reflected in increased melt
ings and pressure to sell refined
sugars. Beet sugars pressing on the
market are taking care of much of the
demand at prices considerably under
cane sugar quotations. Also, the new
l921-'22 beet sugar campaign is already
under way in California and is expect

River. That question has been
answered in the last quarter CEN
tury by nearly a quarter million
guests, representing every state
IN the union and nearly every
country on the globe.
When Jerome Hale bargained
for the Wells River hosiery &c
years ago he threw the front door
kew into Wells River and that door
has never been locked since. This
mas not been the only indication
that has indicated that the arr1v-
ing guest was welcome, for the
God speed to the parting guest
has always been so cordial that ev-
eryone who has ever been there
remembers the event with pleasure
and they want to go again. Je-
rome Hale is an ideal host, makes
his guest thoroughly at home and
with table that is unsurpassed
and bed that sleeps like home has
always made Hale's Tavern q
veritable oasis in the desert of
the general traveller.
Nj. Hale keeps & register and
on it records not only the name
and address Of his patrons, but
the build and number of their au-
tomobiles. This register shows
that III the last 26 years 214,273
names. All this in a town of COG
inhabitants. Since the first of
January, so far this season. there
have been 1900 guests and over
1900 automobiles.
Jerome says he can prove all
this without having to resurrect
old Bill Jones, for he has the
books 70 show for it. and then,
there is Uncle David Wilkie, the
father of the New ENGLAND Fat
Mems club. who for m1ny years
made the Tavern his home. He is
now enjoying the sunset of his ac-
tive life, after so years wander
ings on the road, at his home in
Rack Island. P. @.
So we know where Hale's Tav-
ern is. 1t is as homelile as home,

AMERICAN LEGION MEN
OUT OF EMPLOYMENT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. II
A survey conducted by the Am
elican Legion through 1000 posts
discloses that between 100000 and
100000 veterans Of the world war
are out of employment.
The Legion's investigation
shows that Pennsylvania alone
reported 10000 ex-soldiers out of
work. New York has 100000,
Illinois $4,000 and Massachusetts,
10000, Michigan 10000.
Georgia was the only state to
report that unemployment was not
general enough to require aid
from the Legion.
The American Legion Weekly,
in its issue today says Figures
alone do not tell the plight of the
American unemployed veterans,
for the greater part Of these job
less ex-sololiers and ex-sailors arc
not only out of work but are en-
gagged at this moment in a stlug-
gle for existence with their backs
to the wall of circumstance.
Stating that the "plight of the
veterans is serious enough today
and that winter is Just around the
corner, the Weekly continues:
Can over the United States the
American Legion is working to
meet this new emergency. 1t is
net altogether a new problem for
most of the posts, for they have
long had employment officers and
have Systematically helped their
members obtain jobs. The problem
has now become enc Of volume.
Facilities that enabled a post to
place three OF dozen men IN
jobs weekly do not meet the re-
quilements when hundreds of vet
Grams are on the unemployment
lists and open jobs have almost
vanished. The problem has also
become one largely of relief"
