Money MARKET Decision
A decision Of some Importance TO
the money market was given in the
Arbitral Court Thursday In reference
to Calim's London acceptance houses
against German customers who were
unable TO remit funds to meet financial
engagements at the beginning of the
war, with the result that British credi-
tors were compelled to borrow from
the Bank of England at 2 per cent
above the bank rate. The court de-
cided that the German customers were
fully liable for indemnity to the Brit
ish creditors. This decision will bring
large sum of money to the London
acceptance houses. 1t is estimated that
it may bring something like 100000.
The reduction in the bank rate was
unexpected. because it had been gener-
ally supposed that it would be post
poned until after the actual settlemen,
Of the coal dispute, but the announce
ment had little real effect.

only hope that good will follow in the
long run.
Meantime the discussion about the
effect of German reparation payments
is still active. Memoranda which were
submitted last month 20 Prime Minister
Lloyd George by the iron and steel in
dustry have been published. They call
attention to the position of this in
dustry as result OF the effects of the
war, the high price of coal and trans
pertation, foreign subsidies direct and
indirect to competing foreign indus
tries, and the indemnity payment in
stimulating German output, which has
been helped by the low level of real
wages in Germany. referred last
week to the statement Of Reginald
McKenna, former Chancellor of the
Exchequer, to the effect that German
real wages were one-half of British.

LONDON, June 26.--Americans here
express astonishment at British fri
volity in the face of q severe industrial
crisis. With a serious reaction in the
economic position of the whole coun-
try, with coal stoppage that has al
ready lasted nearly three months, they
find as reading nothing in the news
papers except the movements of the
royal family, polo matches, cricket
games and other cports. This atti-
tude Is especially striking to visitors
from the British colonies who come
here determined to take serious In
terest in the great imperial uestions
now being discussed.
Certainly the philosophy wherewith
we face present problems is astonish-
ing and it is difficult to decide whether
it is due to national stupidity, produc-
ing lack of perception of the serious
ness of the position of the country, or
to an instructive feeling that these
evils are the necessary consequence of
the economic unheaval due to the eff
fects of the war and had better be al
lowed to run their course, like an at
tack of influenza, rather than to try
to cure them by remedies that might
do more harm than good. I am per-
sonally inclined to think that the lat
ter explanation is the correct one and
that this instinct may be right.
Long Labor Struggle
Labor here is so convinced by it's
wartime experience that the country
is bottomless purse out of which
every one can be made happy if only
they shout loud enough-and labor is
still so deluded by the promises of the
government, made during the general
election just after the armistice-that
long trial of strength, carried out to
the bitter end, is probably necessary to
bring it back to the facts of life. The
amount of suffering inflicted upon in
nocent people, with no direct interest
in this economic contest, is simply ap-
palling, and the infiiction of discomfort
shows how far we still are from achiev-
ing real economic civilization. We can

those figures are, however. If you
wish to sell your stock put it into

anybody asks you to pay 25 per cent

going to make and sell something at

your questions before you buy, not
after There won't be any "after."

One Investor Doesn't Demand High
Return

ouestion-My present income is more
than sufficient for current needs and
probably will be for ten to fifteen years.
I desire TO invest ss.0o7 Have arranged
your ten investment forms, according to
my idea of my requirements in their order
of Importance. as follows: 1. Security of
principal 9. Appreciation in market value,
3. Long maturity. 4. Value as collateral.
5. Marketabilty. S. Income return. Z. Sta
bility of income. 8: Care required. 9. Tax
exemption. 10. Denomination. Am 1
&c. r. G. ~ ''''e' "0N'a you Au''''
Answer-You have devoted some
thought to what we said about the ten
features of an investment (Which is
complim entary) and we think your
conclusions fit your case admirably.
We think the security which best fits
your needs is high grade (Point No.

that is, by being content with the
coupons as they come along, you save,

indicated that you are willing to do
this by placing income return sixth on
your list. We recommend the follow
ing bonds, all of which have a good
market on the New York Stock Ex-
change, for your $4,000. New York
Dock first as, 1851, to yield 6.48 at
about 6S; Southern Paciic-San Fran
cisco Terminal first As, 1850, price and
yield about the same Kansas City
Southern first 3s, 1850, at about SIS, re-
turning 5.49 current interest; Chicago
& Alton refunding 3s, 1949, at about
az u, to yield 7.06 per cent current in
terest (this bond is not high grade,
but it is very fair), and the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern first 31as,
1897, at about 66, to yield 5.34 per
cent. 1t is refreshing to find an in
vestor once in while who doesn't
demand the highest possible income
and realizes that there are other i'm
portant elements in an Investment.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-27

prior liens are an underlying bond and
are suitable for your purposes. For a
partnership investment which might
become the sole possession of your
wife if you were to die we think the
investment scheme is not sufficiently
conservative, in that out of about $14,-
600 you have $4,000 in National Lead
common and have $1,000 additional in
speculative bonds. National Lead is
strong company and had large earn
ings even in 1920, but the common
stock is not an investment, but rather
a speculation dependent on earnings
for dividends. We cannot advise you
about switching because, for one thing,
we do not know the prices you paid.
Your Pennsylvania is a good in
vestment, in our opinion.

at about 5S. Its cheapness attracts, IL 1t
be safe enough. Does a cheap bond like
that stand a better chance of apprecating

above Mrs. f. W.T..
Answer-New York, Ontario & West
ern refunding As, due 1892, recently
sold at 81. At this price they yield a
little over Z per cent current interest
Theoretically, each year that the bond
gets nearer to the maturity date its
market price should be little higher,
but actually there are so many other
factors which affect market prices that
the year-to-year increase is not a de-
terminable factor. We think that the
low coupon rate bonds, however, that
are we'll secured, will, rs money be-
comes cheaper, sell at a considerably
higher price New York, Ontario E.
Western is one of the weaker roads.
1t is road typical of those which the
transportation act was intended by
Congress TO help. AS yet the intention
of Congress has not been carried out
successfully by the transportation act.
However, the As are secured by a first
mortgage and we consider them good
investment.

business to sell all part of these bonds

particularly City OF Bergen ss7 This party
Is dessrous of increasing his income, es-
peciaily while these foreign Issues are

preciate your advice In the matter
J. p. D.
Answer We would advise your
client to sell half of the Liberty, re-
tanning the third 4Ms, which mature IN
1928, and yielding nearly per cent ii
held to maturity. With the proceeds
from the sale Of $4,000 Liberty Bonds
we would suggest the purchase of
Kingdom of Belgium Ss, due 1941; Gov
ernment Of Switzerland IS, due 1910;
Kingdom of Sweden 6s, due 1899, and
selling at price to yield ITO per cent,
and Kingdom Of Norway ss, due 1910.
We think that the foreign issues are
selling at lower prices and with higher
yield than they will when the American
investor becomes more familiar with
foreign investment In making this
shift, however, your client would be
theoretically at least sacrificing a de-
gree of safety for the higher yield.
