Foreign Copper Sales Increase

AS the result of quickened demand
for copper from abroad the export
price has risen to 1874 cents a pound
1t was estimated that last Thursday
5,000,e00 pounds were sold to foreign
consumers, including Germany, France,
England and Japan The domestic
market, however, continues inactive.
The utter lack of demand for steel has
affected the copper market, making it
even duller than in recent months.
The only ray of sunshine for the
moment seems to lie in the sporadic
foreign demand

St. Paul Union Depot Certificates

Question-Please advise me as TO the
market price of st. Paul Union Depot
three-year equipment trust notes Would
you consider ii good short-term invest
ment? American Beet Sugar passed their
dividend at the last directors meeting.
Does that apply for the year or merely for
the quarterly period, as they usually de-
clare the dividend for the year? What
do you think of the possibility of the
stock to advance in price, in view of the
present conditions ?--J. T.
Answer-We consider equipment
trust notes as one of the best of short
term investments, especially if the
company issuing them is a strong one.
In announcing the passing of the quar-
terly dividend the American Beet
Sugar directors did not say anything
about future quarterly dividends.

kindly answer the following questions. as
TO the division and general placing OF in
yestments: DO you think the Chicago &
their June dividend? VIII the United
States Steamship ever amount to anything
have been sold at 3. Any advice you
can give as to changing for better yield
or safe investment.-Mrs. w. L. w.
Answer-Your holdings would be
more diversified if instead of the
United States Steamship and Inenalda
Graphite you had strong public util-
ity bond and strong industrial bond.
We would recommend Northwestern
Bell Telephone rs, due 1871, yielding
at present prices slightly over per
cent, and Illinois Steel debenture 41as,
due 1910, yielding at present prices
about 51z per cent current interest
and over per cent if held to ma
turity. The Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul has had very difficult operating
problem to face during government
operation, and has large blocks Of
bonds maturing within the next few
years. On the other hand, we would
not advise you to sell your st. Paul
bonds at present prices. Railroad
conditions are disturbed. In our opin-
ion within the next few months they
will be likely TO show q distinct trend
one way or the other. 1t is hardly
possible that the present uncertainty
can continue for long. Watch the
monthly earnings Of the St. Paul
closely. If they show an improvement
in net and If the decision of the Rail
road Labor Board at Chicago is favor
able to the railroads the ST. Paul sit
uation may be Strengthened out. The
Chicago & Northwestern common
stock is speculative. We think that
you have too much of it. If you can
afford to take your loss, sell part or
all of it and buy good bond such as
the new Northern Pacific Great North
ern 6h per cent bonds, which are
being offered at price to yield 67s
per cent interest. We think your
Canadian municipals and the Canadian
railroad are good investments. as is
also the Chesapeake & Ohio 41a per
cent convertibles.

A Wise Switch in Foreign Bonds

Questionable writer is the holder OF
Mexican per cent bonds brought out in
1899. Interest is in default for seven
years. Recently q suggestion was made
that an advanta ageous change could be
affected by transferring to the 5000 ster-
ling bonds of Brazil. The latter are pay
ing interest, but, of course. because of
the deprecated exchange. the price of the
two issues is about equal. The Mexican
holdings have now become a speculation,
while the Brazilian bonds are in sense
an investment, speculation entering into
the equation only as to the length Of time
before exchange viii be normal Will
you give your opinion?-W. L. NJ.
Answer-We think that you have
anaIyzed the situation, as it exists at
the present time, admirably. We think
Brazilian bonds are an investment not,
of course, of the class of security that
Canadian bonds would be, but not
purely speculative. We shall not un-
dertake to predict the future course of
foreign exchange.

Answer-We think that it would be
advisable to make the change that you
suggest from the short term bonds to
the per cent bonds, due 1910. We
also think that a shift from the Bell
Telephone of Canada, due 1925, to
Northwestern Bell Telephone, due 1941,
would be advisable. All of the bonds
in your list are, in our opinion, high
grade.
