TO figure the precise yield on a bond 1t

Is necessary to use yield tables. but the
approxirnate Weld can roughly be figured
out by the following formula; Divide tho
closing quotation on a bond into the rate
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 to run be-
fore maturity. For example. If per
cent bond is selling at 80 and has ten
years to run. the annual return Will Do
6.66 per cent. The difference between par
and the market price viii be 10 points

points by ten years. the quotient will be !.
This figure is to be added to 6.e6. which

CALDER TELLS SHIP MEN
SUBSIDY HAS A CHANCE
Says He Voted for Bill Though
Opposed to It's Principle.

The fate OF the subsidy bill is still
uncertain. though there is a fair
chance" that il will be made law at the
next session Of Congress. Senator Will
lam NJ Calder Of New York told shipping
men gathered at meeting yesterday on
the floor of the Maritime Exchange url-
der the auspices OF the Fidelity Marine
Association. Capt ~ L. Proctor, secre-
tary of the association. presided.
Although not in favor Of the principle
of subsidy. Senator Calder said, he had
been led to support the proposed bill
because there was no other solution TO
the merchant marine problem. Those
who opposed the bill were in duty bound
to offer an alternative plan. or the
American fleet would sink again TO its
pre-war ineffectiveness.
I'VE have tried Government operation
with our Shipping Board" said Senator
Calder. You, gentlemen. are practical
shipping men. and you know what
gigantic failure the Shipping Board has
been. Now we are back to where we
were before the war. with the Shipping
Board and its Government operation just
marking time. We have some thousand
odd ships OF varying values. most OF
them now idle. The merchant marine IS
dying again We have an infant indus
try that must be protected or perish. and
therefore / am for the subsidy.

BRISK FALL MARKET
IN CHARTERS LOOMS
Week Is Particularly Active
in Grain, With Total of
so Fixed.

The prospect for a brisk fall business
bright. as a result of a particularly
active week. during which fifty charters
for grain alone were fixed. and inquiry
for tonnage as far ahead as December
was reported by brokers'. Under pres
sure of the renewed demand rates are
stiffening materially. The activity.
however, is confined to grain. and other
forms OF charter are not being closed
with any facility.
Grain orders continue to call mainly
for Montreal loading. and the top price
OF % cents a hundred pounds was paid
TO three ports OF Italy, whereas for two
ports the figure was 22A cents. The
scarcity of business from the Atlantic
range is clearly indicated by a fixture
from here to Italy at Is cents. Tho
normal differential between Montreal
End the Atlantic is one or two cents
Montreal to the Continent paid 13 cents
In one instance. which is also a con-
siderable advance over last weeks quo
tations. but most shippers are unwill-
ing to offer more than 1lia cents.
From the Atlantic range to the Con-
,inent tonnage continued to offer freely
AT ~ cents, out without success, anu
brokers look for little business for
earlier than October loading. Line ships
are taking all the grain for the Ant
werp- Hamburg range at IS cents. but
the effort of the conferences to bolster
up rates after October is expected to
react favoraby on charters. A recent
fixture from the Atlantic range to West
Italy was done at 171a cents for No
vember loading. or more than two cents
better than the prevailing rate for
prompt loading.
Little is being done in coal. though
there are a few additional orders for
shipment of the Welsh product to United
States Atlantic ports or the st. Law
renee the best rates obtainable, how
ever. are not much higher than shill-
ings a ton for the Atlantic and 10
shillings for the ST. Lawrence. The ex-
port market from the United States has
not developed any inquiry except for
West Indian ports. and the feeling Is
that the country has probably perma-
nently lost the foothold in South Ameri-
can and italian coal trades so labori-
ously gained.
Sugar and the charters are dull and
rates show a sagging tendency West
coast lumber rates have been improving
somewhat. and shippers are now willing
TO pay from s13 to s13.25 a thousand
feet for United States Atlantic ports and
considerably more for the st. Law
