Investment Market Growing
Rapidly, Roger Babson Asserts
Small Investors Buying Bonds Much More
Freely-More Protection Urged by
Econon,ist-Bor,d Store Opened.

have attempted to cope with this
situation, but usually with rather in
different success. So-called "blue
sky laws" exist in many States and
unquestionably have their favorable
influence. On the other hand, they
have sufficient teeth in them.
Moreover, this is really matter
for Federal action While perhaps
locally beneficial, 1t Is OF no great
advantage to the people of the Unit
ed States as a whole that the fraud
ulent promoter, kicked out Of one
State, can hop over the border and
be undisturbed in peddling his GER
tifoates in adjoining territory. In
cidentally, at the thirteenth annual
convention Of the Investment Bank
ers' Association, September 22 to "a
committee report recommended. in
view of most States now having blue
sky commissions, that arrangement
should be made whereby when any
security Is disbarred from any one
State or any secuity is investigated
in any one State and found to be
fraudulent, a notice could be sent TO
all other groups"
Hard to Catch Swindlers.
National and State laws are de-
signed to protect the citizen in his
bdHhiHs VII thc otHcl
hand, unless definite misrepresenta-
tion can be proved, 1t is too often
true that the willy promoter can ply
his trade without interference. The
result is a loss Of hundreds Of mil
lions annually to United States in
vestors. The money that Is thus
thrown away is clearly just SO much
lost to legitimate business. In ada
dition it has the two-fold effect of
wiping out a portion, and in some
cases all, of the savings of people
least able to bear the loss and of
giving them a false perspective on
the matter of the stock and bond
business.
II only a matter Of personal ad-
vantage 1t is but common sense that
reputable banking houses should do
what they can to clean up this type
Of Offering. 1t would be difficult to
find a more pernicious or low-down
business than that OF taking the life
savings away from a gullible public
and at the same time destroying con-
fidence in a legitimate line of bust
ness. Beth from the standpoint of
common decency and of the security
business in general, efforts looking
toward the operation of blue sky
laws, National in scope, should be
very much worth while.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
BANK STOCKS.


There Is one form of Investment
generally overlooked except by the
large capitalist. I refer to bank
stocks. The reason for this is that
shares in banking institutions. as
rule, sell at high prices per share
and the return is comparatively low.
In compensation for this small yield
as the fact that such stock over a
period of years appreciates in market
price as the profits Of the institution
accumulate.
Rich men who can afford to sac
rifice present income for the sake
of future increase in principal are
partial to bank stocks. In recent
years some of the larger banks have
endeavored by raising the dividend
rate on their stocks to enlist a
greater public interest in their shares
and a wider distribution. But the
rule is, as I have stated. that in
the main bank stocks are overlooked
by the small investor.
Now there are certain advantages
in bank stocks over other forms Of
stock investments. The business Is
stable and in well managed institu-
tions profitable in good times and
bad times alike. Bankers as a cla(s
are highly conservative in the con-
duct Of their affairs. They seldom
take unnecessary risks. There is
always q demand for their services.
In q sense q bank is a public utility.
There are also certain disadvan-
tages inherent in an investment Of
this kind. For one thing, stockhold-
ers Of q bank are liable for the debts
of the bank in proportion to their
holdings. Under our present bank
ing system, however, this is not
particularly important, for failures
in banking are rare compared with
those in other lines of business.
Another disadvantage is that the
market price of banking stocks
varies over q wide range, and the
inexperienced investor may easily find
himself buying at q high price and,
seeing the quotation decline, become
frightened and sell out at loss
when there Is no occasion for any
real concern.
If, having weighed all these con-
sfderations, you are favorably dis
posed toward bank stocks, the safest
procedure Is to. take either shares
in q large and old established insti-
tuition, preferably one with q ma
tional reputation, or shares in your
own local bank with which you do
business. Merchants In small towns
would often find 1t helpful to be
stockholders in their own home
bank.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 22.-In
referring to the stock market of the
last week Wall Street writer's have
pretty much used up their vocabulary
of adjectives. The public has been
informed by mass of stories that
transactions have surpassed all pre-
vious records for a similar period of
time, that the price average has gone
beyond everything since 1915; in fact,
that the financial community is in the
midst of one of the greatest booms
it has ever known.
The causes back of this remarkable
movement have been carefully an
alyZed. The first impulse came from
the presidential elections-a very de-
cisive victory for conservatism fol-
lowing q like achievement in Great
Britain. More than this, the ma
jorities rolled UP for the Coolidge
administration were such as to
eliminate from the new Congress all
obstructive elements and give the
regular Republicans the balance of
power.
Four Years OF Conservatism
AS much as this had scarcely been
contemplated, and the great display
of enthusiasm shown in Wall Street
since November has been founded,
IHoIo IhdH dAy tHiiB eiSo, upon the
realization that radical legislation of
all kinds. and particularly anti-rail-
road legislation, is out of the question
during the next four years. 1t goes
without saying that big business
wishes to keep "things as they are"
while promoting efforts for tax reduc-
tion, and these are precisely the man
dates which are seen in the over
whelming vote for the Republican can
didates.
The stock market has the we'll
ahead Of trade. Nothing which has
developed in the trade situation since
the first week Of November could have
Immediately warranted the jump of
10 to 90 points, such as has been seen
in stock exchange prices. These have
been the forecast Of what Wall Street
believes Is likely to be the situation
in the business world six months from
now.
Advances In Rails Overdone.
The criticism against the present
market does not lie in the current
trade data which are indeed nearly
all favorable, and which support the
idea that outside business is on the
upgrade. Rather. it lies in the mag
nitude of the advance In stock prices
in SO short space Of time. II
past experience counts for anything,
some of these advances have been
overdone. 1t will undoubtedly be
found, for instance, that the up
ward rush in low-priced railroad
stocks has taken too much for
granted regarding what they will
be worth under the consultations
projected by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Aduance in Railroad Shares
Is Considered Much OuerdOne
Uprush in Values Based on Mergers With
Big Roads, Which Are Still
Only ProbIen,atical.

The only way in which additional
value can be given to railroad shares
of this class is through the econ
tions and through larger share Of
traffic which now flows over the big
ger roads. These are highly i'm
portant considerations, but on the other
hand so. too, is the astonishing ad-
vance which many Of the stocks have
had since election day. One must
offset the other. and It IL a ques-
tion whether in some Of the low

tions the balance does not rest
against them.
No Action to Check Speculation.
The commercial record Of the week
is that buying orders held in abeyance
over the elections have been released
in large quantity, and have gone to
make UP growing volume OF bust.
ness. Consumers who for months
past had been buying for immediate
more with a view to future needs.
This demonstrates confidence In the
existing commodity price level and q
desire to forestall any such sudden
uprush as occurred in the early part
Of 1923, when, like the present, buyers
had been careful about committing
themselves ahead.
Money rates rose slightly in the
wake Of the enormous stock exchange
turnover, but as yet It Is hard to see
a check along this line. There was
putting up discount rates for the pur-
pose Of calling halt upon an over
exuberant speculation. But nothing
came Of this at the usual weekly meet
ings Of the reserve institutions, and
the comparison was emphasized be-
tween the present reserve ratio Of
1858 and the approximately 40 per cent
of November. 1919. when the central
banking authorities, out OF self-de-
fense, suddenly raised rediscount
charges and broke the big ''bull mar
ket' Of that period.
Banks Independent of Discount Rate.
II the Federal Reserve banks were
to put up their quotations now It
is doubtful whether they could en-
force them-that is to say, the sur
plus available for lending purposes,
outside of the central system, is still
large enough to make the membe
banks, not Independent, but free
enough to enable them to resist ad-
vances in official discounts. The most
effective way In which the reserve
banks can enforce control over thu
money market is through the sale Of
their security holdings.
It would compel the market to
shoulder q considerable extra bur-
den and would thereby put the Fed
eral banks in a better position to
say what rates should be. This 10
