government for not protecting the

HOW Toby MINING STOCKS
Roger w. Babson Points Out Peculiartes Of This
Group

building, or operating a water pow
er, it is here to stay. When you
buy an interest in the copper indus
try, you are getting into a legiti-
mate business, in legitimate way.
The distinction between buying into
the industry instead of buying stock
in a single company must, however,
be kept clearly in mind.
ntrplvN shrdlu etaoin Shrdlu shrta
There are several thousand diff
ferent copper mining stocks on the
market today and yet eighteen of
these companies produce 80 per cent
of the copper. By buying the stocks
of these eighteen companies, you
can have an interest in so per cent
of the industry. The point is this. If
you put say 800 into these eight
cen companies, you are not betting
on any one company. You are buy
ing an interest in the copper of
America, and the value of your stock
depends not on whether copper is
found here or there, but rather on
the price of copper as determined
by the law of supply and demand.
"This particular group of stocks,
representing the industry, naturally
fluctuates with it. With q great sur
plus of copper on the market, as was
the case last year, the stocks go to
the low levels. That is the time to
buy your interest in the industry If
you hold these stocks until the sur
plus is absorbed and the price of
copper goes up, these securities in
crease in price and should then be
sold out. BY following this basic plan
you can make a very handsome
profit over a period of two or three
years, and you assume practically
no risk. AS you are not planning on
them as a permanent investment,
you need not bother with amOrtiza-
ton, or the setting aside of a portion
of dividends to cover dimini &htng
principal
This is the safest way to invest
in mining stocks of any kind. Coal
stocks, lumber stocks, oil stocks, fer
tilizer stocks, and pulp stocks, in
fact the stock of any industry en-
gagged primarily in the production of
raw materials, the supply of which
is constantly diminishing, should be
placed in the same group"
When asked the names Of the
eighteen companies who practically
control the copper industry, Mr..
Babson named several, including
Anaconda, Phelps, Dodge, Utah,
Kennecott, Inspiration, Ray Consoi.

vada Consolidated, Green Cananea,

The recent improvement in the
general feeling among business men
is beginning to be reflected in gen
eral business conditions. The index
Of the Babson chart, for instance,
shows general business 10 per cent
below normal, as compared with 10
per cent below a week ago.

WELLESLEY HILLS, May g.
When asked for an opinion on GER
tain mining stocks, Roger w. Bah
son, advisor to over 10000 investors,
today pointed out three basic prin-
Fciples that should be borne clearly in
mind by any one contemplating the
purchase of this group of stocks.
1.-THE industries engaged in pro-
duction of raw Materials" observed
Mr.. Babson, may be divided rough
ly into three groups, Mineral, Veg
etable and Animal.
THE first group, Mineral, in
rludes all of the various mining
projects. Fundamentally it is the
weakest group because the investors
dividends from mining stocks come
largely from his principal. A mining
company is very much like a barrel
Of apples, when you take one apple
from the barrel there is one less ap-
pie in the barrel. Every dividend
on egets from the stock of a mining
company represents the return of a
portion of the principal invested.
This means that if you have stock,
for instance, in a certain mine that
has a life of 33 IL years, and you re-
ceiVe a dividend of per cent on
that stock, you are really receivi-- g
dividend of only per cent on your
investment, the other 3 per cent is
the return of your principal.
'You see, mining stock, to com
pare favorably with any other kind
of stock, should pay at least 3 per
cent or 4 per cent more to cover
this return Of principal. The only
proper way for the investor to keep
his books is to divide the dividends
he receives on mining stocks into
two portions. One portion is to be
credited to principal, and the other
to interest.
There, however, is another rea
son why mining stocks are different
from other stocks. When buying a
mining stock one bets on what is in
the ground. Yet one never knows
what there is in the ground until
after he has spent his money to get
it out. An admission fee must be
paid before one knows what there is
inside to see. AS 95 per cent of the
mining companies never gets ore or
paying basis and per cent are
very profitable, this is gambling tC
the nth degree.
Mining securities for these rea
sons represent the most speculative
class of stocks, although most PEG
pie do not appreciate this fact. A
Methodist who does not believe in
playing cards, may buy mining
stocks, and it is considered perfect
~ all right. He would, however, get
far better mental training if he
played poker and in many instances
his percentage of loss would be less
81 do not mean to infer" contln
ued Mr.. Babson, that mining
stocks as a class should not be pur'
chased, only that they should not
be bought on a hit or miss basis.
The copper industry, for instance
is absolutely legitimate, as farming,

GRAIN

CHICAGO, May S.-Wheat showed unex
| pected steadiness at the start today, but
heavy offerings were uncovered on the
bulge and a break followed. Most Of the
latter part of the session prices moved with
in the range established during the first
hour. There was a lack of pressure at the
opening, and the buying was generally be-
lieved to be for the account of local short.
Armour was credited with heavy selling of
the July. The elevator situation is becom-
ing acute and the announcement is expected
any moment that grain in care of boats will
be valid for delivery under the emergency
rule. Local interests bought 1901 900 bushels
of wheat to arrive from Missouri river mar
kets. Sales of 1000 bushels of wheat were
made to go TO store. Milling demand for
wheat was slow and export demand was
confined almost wholly to crop wheat.
Crop reports are generally favorable. Sup
bushels last week.
Wheat rallied on shorts covering, closed
Ac to CSC higher: May, $1.37 to $1.364;
July. $1.24A TO $1.24as; September $1.1S
to $1.1S1s.
Corn trade was exceedingly Glow. Light
offerings gave the market firm start, but
the deferred futures eased with wheat later
in the session. Cash premiums held well,
despite the reported slow shipping demand.
The excellent demand for spot corn leads
one to suspect that larger business is
being done in cash for shipment than
is being reported. SeabOard reported some
export business working.
Corn closed 1ac to &c higher; May, 61%c;
July, 6434c; September, 66c to 667sc.
Oats were quiet. The undertone was
easier. Armour sold July and commission
houses sold September. Cash oats sell
ing well. Vessel room for 500, 900 bushels of
oats was chartered to Buffalo. Seaboard
ported some export business working.
Oats were unchanged to &c lower: May,
37hc; July, 393sc to 39&c; September,
4O7sc.
Provisions were firm with hogs at the
start. Liquidation set in because of the
weakness of grain, and shaIo break fol-
lowed. Some good buying was noted on the
break.
