New Treasury Issues.

Bearing interest at less than per
cent for the first time in about a
year and half, two new issues of
Treasury certificates were offered for
subscription last night by Secretary
Mellon.
The combined offering is for about
5000 900 900. Both issues are dated
November 1, the first maturing April
!. 1929, with interest at Az per cent,
and the other maturing September 15,
1922, with interest at Az per cent.
The low interest rate of the Treas
ury's new offerings, officials said,
was explained by the present condi-
ton of the money market and by the
heavy oversubscriptions received for
recent issues of these securities.

Practically all estimated much too
low. One forecast as low as 100000

only mentor that published estimates
as high as $19,000,000
One leading statistical expert Yes.

detailed income account, II IL could be
compared with others, would be most
illuminating. as It would doubtless
show interest account a credit, which
few others could set up"
In other words, II Is believed that
the corporation, instead Of borrowing
money as Is the case with the indie
pendents, In extending loans and de-
riving a nice income from the interest
received thereon.
This is one item most people over
looked. They took into consideration
the shipping. railroad and other diver
sified departments of the corporation,
but failed to remember That pros
porous Industrial corporations often
| go into the banking business.
The corporation does not issue a
full detailed quarterly statement. 1t
simply shows income after operating
expenses, taxes, etc, and before fixed
charges.
IL is the contention OF this analyst
that IL such a detailed statement were
shown II would be likely to include
income derived from surplus funds.

His First Investment an Atchison
Bond.
8. A., 18th street, allowed a
young broker, in whom 1 have much
faith, to use his own judgment In
investing $500 for me.
He bought a $500 Atchison Kali
way per cent general mortgage
bond. due 1895.
I am not quite sure he acted wise
ly. not that / believe the bond un-
reliable, but / have a feeling that i
might have done much better In re-
gard to interest rate.
This being my first investment, 1
felt that / might just as well have
bought a bond that yields 8 per
cent or more instead of one that
yields only a little over 5 per cent.
am a young man earning a
salary of $110 a month.
Would you advise me to keep the
Atchison bond?
Answer-We most certainly do.
You have invested in one Of the
highest class bonds in the. whole list.
Let II serve as an enduring foundation
for the erection of a subsequent in
vestment structure which may con-
tain bonds offering slightly higher
yield.
But a young mans first investment
should be in a bond of no lesser de-
gree of quality than an Athchison 4
per cent.
You young broker friend, influence
ing you to buy the best, deserves our
commendation.
II some day he isn't the head Of a
big bond investment firm we'll miss
our guess.
Don't let anything induce you to
part with your Afchison bond.

On a very small turnover at the

That Steel Report.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Naturally
the United States Steel Corporation
report showing close to $19,000,00
net income was received with
pleasure and had a stimulating effect
on the market.
The current period promises to
show a satisfactory gain over the
third quarter. Operations have in
creased steadily and output is now
estimated to be at about SO per cent
Of capacity.
In fact, 1t can almost be stated that
the steel industry has turned for the
better. Present indications all point
to a continuation of Improvement.
Many consumers are holding off
orders for this action and are simply
buying for immediate requirements.
once the railroad question is def
nitely settled, the roads will undoubt-
edly make larger purchasers of rails
and equipment.
1t is entirely too early to attempt
to estimate what earnings will
amount to in the current quarter.
However, should added stimulus he
given to steel buying and general
business throughout the country by
settlement of the railroad difficulties
and lower freight rates, the steel
corporation undoubtedly will be
greatly benefited.
