The Tribune prints each dag the mo-
turity dates Of oil nctive bonds quoted
on the NeV York Stock Exchange The
return on bond to the inrestor depends
upon three factors: the rate Of interest
the security bears. the market price
and the distance OF the maturity date.
TO fqure the precise geld on a bond it
IS necessary to use yleld tables, but the
approximate yield can 1ou0hiy be f9ured
out ~ the foUo1ging to1muta: DiUide
the closing quotation on a bond INTO
the rate of interest 1t pays. and the re-
suit a0il be the annual return. If the
bond is selling boloao par you mast
dlloao also for the apprcci0 ton Of the
principal. 70 do this subtract the mar
ket quotation from par, or 100, and d.
eide the remainder by the number Of
gears the bond has to yun before ma
t'rity. For example, If a per cent
bond is selling at 80 and has ten gears
to rae1, the annual return a0aU be 6.G6
per cent. The difference betUeen par
and the market price qoiu be 10 points,
subtrocting 90 FROM 100. DiUiding ten
points by ten gears, the quotieat i0iN be
