Interest in Sterling Bonds.

The demand for high grade Govern
ment, State and municipal bonds issued
in sterling continues to Increase Houses
that have specialized In such issues dur
ing the last year report that dealers
throughout the country are coming to
appreciate the sales possibilities of such
issues and that the list OF dealers
handling sterling issues Is increasing
daily. Houses that have specialized in
foreign securities are gratified by the
returns coming in. because they have
had to carry on a long campaign Of
education. not only among investors but
also among dealers. Trained buyers
are maintained IN the principal financial
centres Of Europe. who are constantly
studying issues that have been on the
London and other European stock ex-
changes for years and that may appeal
to American investors. The result -
that new issues constantly are being
brought 10 the attention OF dealers in
this country. and usually the yield on
such issues is as attractive as on dollar
bonds. and the possibilities for profit
much greater.

Consolidated Textile Notes.

Tho recent activity and strength IN
the Consolidated Textile Corporations
stock draws attention TO the interesting
conversion privilege attached to that
companys three year per cent. sinking
fund convertible debenture notes. due in
1923 Originally the notes were con-
vertible at the option of their holders at
the rate OF twenty-five shares OF the
common stock for 81 900 par
value of notes. At that time the stock
was selling above 40. The indenture Sc
curing the notes. however. provides that
on issuance of any additional stock OF
the corporation at less than SAC share
the conversion price of the notes shall
be made equal to the price at which such
stock is offered When the corpora
tion acquired the properties of p. B. e.
n. knight, Inc, it issued authorized but
unlssued stock OF the corporation at s2f
n share. the market value of the stock
at that time. Thus under the indenture
a holder OF 81 900 par amount of notes
is entitled to receive on conversion 47.62
shares OF stock OF the corporation in
stead of twenty-five shares for $1,000
as heretofore. The stock has advanced
slightly during the last few days and its
current price is around 205s. which
makes the notes worth ?s.4o. In view
OF the improvement in the company's
earnings and the strong technical posi-
tion OF its stock further change in Its
market price is possible. The notes be-
come more valuable with every frac-
tional advance OF the stock. For in
stance. with the stock selling at S2l the
notes would be worth 100 at %. 104 76 !;
at %. 1882 at "a. 1142s and at 25.
