when taken with the degree of safety
that you have obtained. We by no
means condemn a speculation when it
is taken in the spirit in which you
take yours; to sell now would be to
take loss, and where you can afford
to back your judgment as to the future
course of events we think you should
do so.

German Bonds and Stocks

Question: know that you do not give
speculative advice, but I am minded to
take a little flyer in the foreign field, and
have my mind centered upon a purchase of
German General Electric bonds. Would
appreciate IL you would advise me If a
change in the German currency. such as an
exchange of four or five for one, would
affect these bonds, which understand are
payable on gold bass.--W. M. e.
Answer-Our opinion, which is
founded on a fairly broad canvass of
the opinion Of bankers and others who
have recently been in Europe, is that
German bonds, nominally payable in
gold, will be paid at maturity in the
paper currency of Germany. and chat
the chances are in favor of their being
paid in paper currency even if there
is change in the character Of German
currency. On the other hand, stock in
the German companies, such as the
German General Electric, represents
ownership Of the property, and we
think that that is legitimate specula-
tion.

Answcr~-Your list is high grade, and
the only one which we would sug-
gest that you sell is the Baltimore &
Ohio convertible as, due 1888. Hold
ing this bond, iii our opinion, involves
speculation in the outcome Of the
railroad situation, which you do not need
to take. Canadian Northern 6Rs are
guaranteed principal and interest by
the Canadian government, and we think
they have the advantages Of govern.
ment bond with q certain added ad-
vantage as railway bond. Under
the agreement by which the Canadian
government took over the Grand Trunk
stock it made itself liable for Grand
Trunk securities. In our opinion the
government is obliged to provide fol
Grand Trunk bonds as surely as it II
to take care Of its own bonds. We
suggest that you add to your list

think you might consider some OF the
