Present. Day Investments

Harrison, Smith & Co. have issued Il
very interesting circular letter review
ling the investment situation, purticu-
Harry applying to the enhanced market
valuation of nearly all classes Of bonds.
1t says:
"a typical list Of present day invest
ments recently sent in showed sol 900
dSiyided as follows: $1,000 in Liberty
tBonds. SIT, 900 in public utility bonds,
l%SOOO in foreign Government bonds,
.F70OO In industrial bonds and $1,000 in
tFailrONd bonds.
Il These were the investments of a
man who had retired from business and
|placed all his funds in bonds, dealing
with three representative investment
houses. Probabaly the reason that more
railroad bonds are not passing into
lnVeStors' strong boxes today is because
the investment bankers do not have
them to sell, as the railroads, generally
speaking. are not issuing new bonds at

are now selling at 1914.
Railroad bonds, we believe, are
cheap at present prices, both the high
grade and second grade rails, and many
OF the latter ere probably entitled to a
higher rating under the provisions Of
the Transportation Act. A cheap bond
is not necessarily the bond that yields
the largest interest return or basis to
maturity. but the bond which will show
the largest return. interest plus appre-
citation. For instance, the highest grade
rails have advanced 2.43 points in ii
month, SO that without considering the
rate of interest they bear the appreCia-
tion on such an investment made n

of 41.1G per cent annually
That the country is we'll advanced in
the process of recovery from depression
is indicated Strikingly by building con
struction figures recently made public
by an undOubted authority, which shows
that for the year 1921, largely due to
increased activity in the later months,
building outlayS will reach the enor-
nous sum of two and half billions of
dollars. In addition. the same authority

total building outlay will exceed three

A real coincidence in these

is that the children just older
than these infants made their
appearance on the stage of life in
the same order, W. D. Covington
having arrived Tuesday night,
two years ago, to be followed
Wednesday morning by little
