News Service.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-Some In.
vestors in the listed bond market
had occasion to offer complaint at
what they consider, poor execution
OF their orders. Having seen the
report OF the sale Of q certain bond
at q certain figure and requesting
the purchase of a bond Of the same
issuel "at the market" they have
been surprised to find that their
prices were as much as q point high
er than the previous sale. Had
they in their orders, however. stip.
ulated the price they were willing to
pay for the bonds. they would have
found that there were none offered
at that price. M. h.
The reason for this condition is
that there are not as many bonds
floating around A. some investors
may believe. Certainly, the number
Of bonds OF any particular issue Off
cred for sale is very much smaller
than the offerings of stocks in the
other section of Sthe market. Bond
dealers who have been expressing
their views along these lines during
tHe past Wceh VI 30 nave Dtdtc0 t4bdt
they find a continually smaller guam.
tity Of bonds offered for sale and
often are obliged to raise their bids
in order to acquire bonds that were
particularly desired by their own Gus
toners.
The high cost Of living and the
high cost Of doing business applies
as much to the buying and selling Of
bonds as to any other line Of bust
ness. At least this Is the Mea ex.
pressed by the bond dealers In their
meeting to consider the matter OF
revision Of commissions on bond
sales. There was no doubt as to
the views Of the bond dealers In re-
gard to the revision Of the fees for
transactions in listed bonds, but the
revision which they suggested waa
upward and not downward. In
other words, instead Of accepting the
proposed reduction Of commissions
from SIS to $12.50 per $4,000, the
majority sentiment was that this
commission should be increased to
$25 per $4,000. or $3.50 per thou.

would not be opposed by investors

Woman Found Treasure Trove.

Y Buried treasure has been found in
France by a New York woman. She Is
said to be the first person to discover
important buried treasure in France
since the war. When spading in the
region Of the devastated town Of Hat
ton Chattel, which she is rebuilding,
she turned up pot containing 400
rare coins Many Of the coins in the
pot dated before the discovery of
America, most of them being from the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth centuries.
Some of them bear the effigy of the
duke of Lorraine, who defended north
ern France before the Swedish invar
sion In the Fourteenth century. All
buried treasure belongs to the govern
ment, but the finder in this case will
be given 10 per cent of its value,
which it Is understood she will donate
to the Metropolitan museum of New
York. The discovery is the most valu-
able find Of It's kind recorded in
France.

The old subject Of keeping electric
lamps and refiectors clean is again
brought to our attention by Ward Har-
rIson and ]. r. Colville. In q recent
issue of Electrical Review and In
dustrial Engineer. Among the items
discussed by these authorities are the
extent and causes of lighting deprecia-
tion, value Of light wasted, and sys-
tematic maintenance. Experience has
shown that in many factories more
than 80 per cent of the light paid for
is allowed TO go to waste. One-half
to two-thirds is being thrown away
through lack of attention to simple
maintenance requirements. In plant
where the entire time of one man is
required the cost of cleaning open re-
Electors should not exceed 8 cents

from Frenchman-M. Coue. It's
the easiest to follow that was ever
invented; but calls for a faith that
would remove mountains, One has
merely to say twenty times before
or after going to bed: Every day,
In every way, am growing better
and better" then repeat the formula
the same number Of times the next
morning, and keep everlastingly at
1t. Possibly this cure for all the
ills to which flesh is heir is based on
the old saying that one can repeat a
story so often that one eventually
believes it to be true. One thing
about this Coue pronounced Koo-
ay) cure is sure. and that is it will
cure the imaginary ills with which
so many are afflicted. Eek.
