CHICAGO, June 13.--Future deliv-

weather and black rust were chiefly
responsible. Extreme gains, however,
were not held. The market closed un-

decline to an advance Of 27sc.
With reports current telling of actual
damage from hot w!nds and OF prospective
damage frcm black rust, the majority Of
wheat traders rushed to the buying side
as soon as tho market opened. As much
az &C a bushel was in some cases added to
values before the eagerness to purchase
was overcome. Then, however, the market
began to slip and attention turned largely
to gossip that country offerings had ma

Answer-The bonds you mention are
all good, in our opinion, but we think
for your purpose the best one is the
Canadian Northern 7 per cent deben-
ture. because it is not callable until
1895 and is guaranteed principal and
interest by Endorsement of the Do
minion government. We suggest, how
ever. that you buy fairly long-term,
high or good grade bonds of low coupon
rate. The yield to maturity will be
about the same as the high coupon
rate bonds YOU have selected, but the
current interest will be the coupons
only. The result will be that in fif-
teen to thirty-five years, according to
the maturities you select, you Will
have saved all the discount on the bond,
which can easily be 20 to 45 points.
This amounts to endowing yourself IN
your most productive years and costs
YOU nothing. You have too much en-
dowment insurance, in our opinion.

While there was a range of about 20

There was growing tendency TO criti-
cize a continuance Of weather conditions
which were considered generally favor
able last week. There also appeared TO be
continued confidence in an early settle

features, however. failed to inspire any
general buying, and early advances vera
followed by reactions as a result OF scat

Cities Service Shares
Decline Under Pressure

Another break in Cities Service
shares featured trading on the Curb
market yesterday. The common stock,
according to the reports of the Curb
Quotation Company, opened at 145 and
sale at 126, while the so-called bank
ers' shares after opening at 16as
dropped to 1914 and closed at 1871,
net loss of 3M points. Last Friday,
before the companys announcement
that cash dividends would be discon-
tlnued, the common stock was offered
above 200. The rapid decline of the
past few days was due partly to the
lack Of large short interest.
Commenting on the decline in the
Cities Service stocks, Henry L.
Doherty. president, declared that the
current quotations were entirely un-
conditions of the company.
"The decision of the board of di-
rectors on my recommendation to pro-
vide for payment of dividends in scrip
instead of cash." he said, twas taken
to conserve cash resources of the COM
pany to meet present abnormal condi
tions in the oil industry. Equities
back of Cities Service Company's
stocks are many times the amount
represented in the value placed on
them by present market prices of the
stocks. In addition to its many util-
ity properties, net earnings of which
are now at the highest point in their
history, Cities Service Company con-
trolls what are probably the most val
liable oil producing properties in the
United States. Cities Service Com
pany has reinvested in subsidiary
properties Approximately s73,000,0o0
from surplus earnings, in addition to
many millions of new capital. Holders
of Cities Service Company stock should
not allow themselves to be thrown
into panic and sacrifice their hold
ings at this time"

xissd yss,l,. to take a bond of the Columbus

year per cent sinking fund mortgage
bonds. Do you consider 1t safe invest
inent? I tnclose descgiption.--Mrs. j. a.
Answer-Your 1856 shares of steel
have market value of about $1O,S00,
for which you receive an annual re-
turn of $675, or 6.3 per cent. That is
too small, considering the speculative
character of the stock. What it cost
Snakes no difference, though in this
case you have 100 per cent profit on
the larger block, and about 27 per cent
loss on the smaller. which on the
whole is fortunate. We suggest that
you sell your steel shares and buy
instead $4,000 of the Northern Pa
cific-G Great Northern Joint us 1886,
to yield 6B per cent; $4,000 Puget
Sound Power g. Light general and re-
funding ~ per cent 1941, to yield ~
per cent; $4,000 Kingdom of Denmark
IS 1941, to yield about per cent, and
$4,000 Standard Oil of California de-
benture rs 1881, to yield a little less
than Z per cent. You will have greater
security and your yearly return will
be SITS, S1Oo a year more than your
steel shares. We think the Columbus
Railway, Power g. Light bond is too
short term for you. The same house
will buy the bonds we mention for
you.

Bank Note Is Attractivcly Capitalized

Question-Ilindly let me have your opin-
lon of American Bank Note common as an
investment. or course, l realize it would
be more conservative to purchase the pre-
terred, but would rather have the common
II the future OF the company looks bright
II. r. A.
Answer-The American Bank Note
Company offers combination of large
earning power and low capitalization
that is refreshing to inspect amid
welter of proportionately large bond
issues and watered stocks. To begin
with, it is capitalized at $1O,000,000,
half preferred and half common, prac-
tically all of which is outstanding.
The preferred is entitled to 6 per
cent cumulative dividends. There
is no funded debt, and no mortgage or
lien of any kind can be created by the
company without the consent of at
least 80 per cent of each class of stock.
Par value of the stock is $50. For the
ten years ended December 81 last the
company earned, available for divi-
dends, S10,529,555, an annual average
of 23.42 per cent on the preferred stock
and 17.42 per cent on the common, and
on December 81 last net assets appll-
cable to the common stock were $lO2.13
per $50 share, The company in 1920
earned net after expenses, Federal
taxes and depreciation s2,S9o,2o9, COM
pared with $1,711,407 the year before.
Excess of current assets over current
liabilities was $5,113,424, or about, $50
share. While this company has Deen
making money grinding out securltles
for other companies and bales OF paper
money and stamps for other countries
II has done none at all of that sort of
" work on it's own behalf. We think the
nreferred stock is high grade and the
common a good investment.

The Tribune prints each day the ma
turity dates of all active bonds quoted
on the Ne,c York Stock Exchange. The
return on a bond to the investor 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: Divide
the closing quotation on bond into
the rate Of interest it pays, aud the re-

allow also for the appreciation of the
principal. TO do this subtract the mar

choosing another bond or small block of

OH of New Jersey preferred. Pennsylva MIA
ten-year Is Northwestern Bell Telephone
Is, or possibly Dominion of Canada IS. 1t
seems possibly advisable to borrow with
collateral and reinvest the proceeds of the
three or four bonds which ature in 1923
and 1924 now instead of waiting What do
you think about this? What would you
buy and would you sell any of the present
holdings to exchange for others?-Mrs.
M. z. ID.
Answer-We think your plan of bor-
rowing on your two short term bonds
and reinvesting the money is a good
one, in view of the fact that it is evil
dent from your list of holdings and
your letter generally that if occasion
should arise where the bank should ask
for additional collateral or even call
the loan entirely you would be able
to meet the call without embarrass-
ment Pittsburgh Plate Glass and
Westinghouse Air Brake are both high
grade stocks, although ordinarily we
would not advise you to hold common
stocks. The other securities in your
list are good investments and suitable
for your purpose. Standard Oil of New
Jersey preferred is high grade in
vestment The company's annual re-
port for 1920 showed a, remarkable
earning power. Northwestern Bell
Telephone rs are good investment.
There are no Canadian IS. We would
recommend United Kingdom of Great
