Central Seeks Switch Lines

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. - Recon-
nendation that the New York Central
be authorized to purchase the capital
stock of the Chicago River & Indiana
RAILROAD Company and that the latter
be permitted to take a ninety -nine-year r
lease on the Chicago Junction Railway
was made in A report to-day to the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
Attorney Examiner Ray w. Clarke.
The advantage of the proposed rela-
tionship between the Central and the
two awitching lines, Mr.. Clarke said,
would lie in the ability Of the Central
to extend and increase the properties
of the Junction, which he described as
inadequate.
Competing lines in Chicago opposed
the plan before the commission, assert
ing 1t would substitute monopoly for
the prcsenk neutrality Of the switching
lines.

cotton market has for several days been
intensely excited, owing to the violent
fluctuations in quotations. Nothing
like it has been experienced in recent
years. Prices advanced by leaps and
bounds as result of wildly speculative
buying from all quarters, plus exten-
sive covering by operators.
The market to-day continued irregular
and unsettled. Prices broke more than
a hundred points, after which traders
seemed inclined to adopt waiting poll
icy pending more settled conditions.

IN IN regard to buying some good investment
bonds paying per cent g | am anticipat-
ing purchasing about $500 worth. Also
as TO my plan of purchase | am a single
person working for q salary of sss

plan Is to purchase SO, ,000 worth of bonds
with my own money and take loan
from bank for $1,000. giving these bonds
terest on these bonds at per cent, aou.,
with what I can save from my salary
year applied TO the loan. could within
this loan. What would be my chances Of
buying such bonds and would I be able TO
dispose of them after the three or three
and a half year period at the price paid
suggest? am willing to take some
chance In order to get bonds paying per
cent.-G. W. A.
Answer.-Although the outlook .or
bonds may seem favorable, you would
be taking a chance that you could not
sell your bonds at as high a price in
three or four years as ycu pay for then
now. If, however, you are willing to take
this chance. there are, in our opinion,
a number of good per cent bonds on
the market. We would not, however
advise you to borrow so per cent on
your bonds at your bank and buy 5000
additional bonds. This is in the nature
OF pyramlding, and 1t is speculation
which has real dangers. Assume that
there should be bad break in the bone
market for some reason now unfors.
seen, and that the market price Of
your 8 per cent bonds dropped consid-
erably, your bank would demand fur
ther margin and in that case, being
only on a salary, you would be COM
PEELED to sell some of your holding
probably at heavy loss. The foreign
8 per cent bonds selling in the neigh
borhood of par, some above and some
below, would meet your Requirements.
we think. Detroit United first collateral
sinking fund IS, due 1941; Otis steei.
Company 8 per cent bonds; City
Christiania IS, due 1915; French Re
public IS, due at 1l0 on or before Sep
tember is, 1945. are our suggestions.
