Inclines Toward Foresrn Bonds

Question: havo one hundred shares of
CORN Products preferrsd. am inclined
70 seu and buy ten bonds In place thereof.
nat DO you think about it7 II buy
bonds shall at leaat not have ali the
eggs IN ono basket am not averae to
foreign bonds. inter alia.--R. Q. r,
Answer-We think highly of Corn
Products preferred as an investment,
but we are inclined to agree with YOU
that government bonds are at present
selling at lower prices than their Sc
curlty and interest rates justify. AS
you say, the factor of diversifcation is
one Of safety. OF the foreign bonds,
we consider the government Of Switz-
erland Ss, due in 1910, selling at 1O31s,
as one of the safest and best, and rank
ing With it the Dominion Of Canada
Us, due 1929, recently selling at 921a,
and the United Kingdom convertible
53as. due 1929, recently selling at 80.
The City of Copenhagen 51a per cent
bonds, due 1914, selling recently at
741S, are redeemable at par, through
the action of sinking fund of $780,
600, beginning, 1925. The bonds are
called by number and are chosen by
lot. If your bonds happen to be among
the early ones called you will make a
considerable profit above the interest.
Might Il not be a good plan to hold on
to twenty shares of Corn Products pre-
ferred and to put the amount received
from the sale of the remainder into
three good foreign government bonds {?
