There seemed little doubt from the ac-

Days Dealings in Bonds


Even should both the coal and rail
road strikes be settled now investment
bankers do not believe that there
would be much increase in the VOL
ume of new financing until some time
next Month. The advancing trend OF
the market has recently lost momen-
tum. and the dullness is expected to be
intensified by disposition of these dlf.
ficulties. an eventuality which would
be calculated to increase commercial
demands for money. Yesterdays trad
ing was on moderate scale and with
out departure from previously estab-
lished tendencies. Liberty bonds held
their position we'll, but dealings were
small. Interest in the lower priced
rail bonds, which are gradually being
adjusted toward more normal rela-
tionship with prime bonds of the car

important gains in one or two of the
industrial issues.

To figure the precise yield on bond IL
Is necessary to use yield tables, but the
approximate yield can roughly be figured
out by the following formula: Divide the
closing quotation on a bond into the rate
OF the annual return. If the bond Is selling
below par You must allow also for the
appreciation OF the principal. To do this
subtract the market quotation from par
or 100, and divide the remainder by the
number Of years the bond has 10 run be-
fore maturity For exampe if per
cent bond Is selling at 90 and has ten
years to run, the annual return will be- 6 &c
per cent: The difference between par and
the market price will be 10 points sub
by ten years the quotation will be l. This
ngure is to be added to s.66, which is the
annual return, and the result 1866 per

 Created in 1790 "to prevent depre- dations along the coast" the earliest duty of the. coast guard was to War on the pirates who preyed on the merchant shipping in and out of the ports of the new nation and who had their strongholds on the islands adjacent to the southern shores.
 Nowadays. officials remarked, tho liquor ships following the wake of Captain Kidd and his swashbuckling crews are giving the men of the coast guard the stern chases and sometimes the bloody battles that were the daily portion of their pre- decessors in the stirring times of the bold black flag.

The Jewett Is Coming

ONE WEEK FROM NOW the new Jewett light Six will be on exhibition in our showrooms and we shall be prepared to accept orders for immediate or very early delivery.
 We make this preliminary announcement so that every local motorist may plan to see this remarkable car and arrange for demonstration early in the week.
 Up to now the Jewett has been displayed only at private exhibitions. But good news important news-cannot be suppressed.
 That is why thousands of people are wait ing for this car with an eagerness that is quite without precedent.
 The word has gone forth that the Jewett is an astounding achievement in motor car value-a fine, high-powered six at price that is little less than sensational
 Though incomplete, that description fits the car with absolute accuracy
 What the public does not know is this: The Jewett is very comfortable five passenger car with superbly beautiful body lines and every appointment that critical man could desire.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-04-02

It is equipped with fifty-horsepower six cylinder motor that will develop a speed of sixty miles per hour or throttle down to snail's pace in traffic.
 It is built on a specially designed frame that cannot sag or weave. Its springs are unusually long and flexible.
 The body is hung close to the ground and perfect distribution of weight insures the calm, steady riding qualities ofan ocean liner.
 Though very high powered and brilliant in performance, it is a miser on fuel con- sumption and will turn up amazing mileage on it's oversize cord tires.
 Such, in brief is the Jewett. And the price is s1065 f. o. b. Detroit.
 Just now we will say no more There are but seven days before the Jewett will be here to tell it's own story as no words could ever tell it.
 Come in at that time See the car-ride in it-drive it-judge it from any angle that your experience suggests. Then decide whether it is or is not the first real quality six at a quantity price.
