that it paid it on March l for Victory

Investment Information

lssi. per cent? United DRUG per cent,
1871; Wilson Is Co IN per cent.
1915: balance In Straus bonds. How about
Argentine bonds?-H. Il. r.
Answer-You have restricted our
suggestions for Substitutes to securi
ties of the same approximate yield and
have thus made it difficult for US to
strengthen an investment list which is
extremely top-heavy. First let us sug
gest American Telephone and Telegraph
stock as a substitute for Rock Island
6 per cent preferred. BY doing this
you will gain strengths without any
material change in income. According
to your plan, $4,000 of your $4,000
would be placed in high yielding South
American bonds, and in this respect,
particularly, your proposed investment
is badly out of proportion. If you will
permit us to break down the limita-
tons set against suggestions, VIC will
recommend that you strengthen your in
vestment by accepting smaller yield
in favor of foreign or domestic bonds
superior to those selected. Probably
you will not thank us for tho suggcs-
ton, but this is what we would do with
your South American bonds: Substitute
for the Brazil IS, Rio de Janeiro IS
and possibly Uruguay IS such bonds
as Queensland rs, Swiss Government
IS and Netherlands 6s, the last named
selling around o. and yielding about ga
per cent. There are other suggestions
that we would make, but these would
go long way toward strengthening
your list
