Special Dispa tch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE past
week on the Stock Exchange has
been the third week in succession
where prices on the whole have drag
ged downward in face Of business
news of a favorable character. This,
from the viewpoint of the expert
enced Wall Street observer, is not a
good sign. IT suggests causes at work
under the surface which have i'm
PEELED not investment holders, but
speculative holders OF stocks, to sell
where they got the chance.
Election Causes More Caution.
The selling has not reached any
such volume as to indicate serious
concern. But politics have unques-
tionably played more OF a part than
at any stage of the presidential cam
paign SO far. More thought has been
taken of the possibility of the cleo
ton being thrown into Congress and
the financial community has been
sufficiently impressed with this pos
sihility to become more cautious. AS
yet there has been no approach to an
old-time political scare" The in
cilnatfon among traders has been to
clear up commitments and to go very
SLOW about making any more.
European Bond Market,
Terms Of the 5000, 00O. 900 German loan
have been well understood unofficially in
f1nanclal circles for the last week. They
have been given enough crefence for
the rest of the European bond market
to. adjust itself accordingly. Persistent
selling of French and Austrian issues
has been due to the fact that, without
any better security. these bonds have
been quoted too high as compared with
the accredited offering price of the new
German bonds.
The main considerations for the
prospective investor in this German loan
are political. II he is confident that the
present regime is going to last, that
there is to be no upheaval in the gov
ernment- then this security is as good
as any offered on a like basis in the
markets. As a financial proposition
alone. the safety of the bonds is un-
doubted. For a Germany at work under
a stable political system, $500. 600, 600
obligation is a drop in the bucket The
risk lies wholly on political grounds.

NEW YORK, October 11.-Prices
went lower on the curb market to-
day under continuation of the SELL
ing movement which broke out late
Friday. 1t was evident that Offer
ings represented for the most part
real liquidation and that traders were
desirous OF being out OF the market
over the extended week end.
Standard Oils bore their share in
the reaction. several of the highest
priced issues declining as much as
points. Included among these were
Standard Of Ohio at 307 and Standard
OF Nebraska at 236. New England
Fuel Oil lost Q points overnight,

will allow the re- establishment OF
the paper currency upon a gold basis.
1t is expected to form the nucleus for
the guarantee Of uninterrupted repa-
rations payments. But 1t is absurd
to suppose that a loan of such small
proportions will do any more than
this. Ultimate dependence must be
placed upon the grant OF private
credits from the United States. from
England and from other countries
with which Germany is to do bust
ness. The idea which has prevailed
at times i'm the New York stock mar
ket of the last week that the German
loan would mean an Immediate big
increase in purchases of American
copper and cotton is not at all well
based.
Agricultural Products Go Higher.
The week has been chiefly dis
tinguished by new high prices for
wheat, for rye and for hogs. This
has still further emphasized the i'm
provement in the agricultural out
look. Wheat is selling some 40 cents
bushel higher than it was a year
ago. Corn is up similar amount
from the low of the present year.
The live stock industry, which two
years ago seemed almost incurably
afflicted with overproduction, has
been completely transformed. 1t has
become a profitable business where
for a long stretch ii was unfrofitable.
The full force of the increased
farmers buying power promised by
this great rise in prices will not be
felt until the late Winter and Spring,
when the crops have heen sold and
the agriculturists know just where
they stand In the meantime, how
ever. the preliminary effects are seen
in the extraordinary movement OF
freight over the railroads. The fig
ures show that the traffic in mer-
chandise and in miscellaneous goods
Is surprising all previous totals.
Sterling Up On Political Crisis.
Two interesting things occurred in
the situation abroad. Ono was the
rise in sterling exchange in response
to the defeat of the Labor ministry.
The other was, the decline in French
francs to the lowest in two months
following the increase in the paper
currency issue to the highest ever re-
corded. All efforts at def1ation in
francs have so far failed, despite the
raising of discount rates on security
loans, and despite the resumption of
German reparations payments

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
INvEsTORS' sRIGHTs.-
Eighty first Article.

Something which many inexper-
enced investors have difficulty in
understanding is the meaning of
rights" which are from time to time
extended to stockholders, generally,
but not always to the owners OF the
common shares. Ordinarily these
rights allow stockholders the priv
ilege of subscribing to additional is
sues Of securities, sometimes bonds,
but more often stocks, at price be-
low the market.
Not all corporations are in a posi-
ton to do financing by additional
issues of common stock. 1t is gem
orally considered a sign OF prosperity
when new capital can be secured by
selling stock instead of increasing
funded Indebtedness. 1t has come to
be the custom also that when a cor
poration finds this course open to IT
it extends the opportunitf OF
taking the new shares first to its
own stockholders. This is on the
theory that inasmuch as stockholders
take all the risks of ownership they
are entitled to whatever additional
benefits the progress of the business
may make possible.
Conditions under which these rights
are extended vary in different cases
AS a rule stockholders are entitled
to buy new shares in a definite pro-
portion to their existing holdings
Each share of stock is entitled to
one right. 1t may take five, ten or
more rights to buy one share of new
stock. And here is the point which
is so often misunderstood. If a stock
holder does not wish to increase his
holdings, he may sell his rights in
the market There is no need OF
his throwing away these valuable
privileges. They may be turned ints
cash. Even if the number of shares
he holds is not sufficient to entitle
him to enough rights to buy one
share of the new stock he may still
dispose of his rights to some one
else who will combine them with
enough others to make up the number
required. The same procedure car
be followed if the stockholder wishes
to make a subscription on his own
account and lacks enough rights 3
his own name. He may buy the ad.
ditional number necessary at the mar.
ket price.
When the American Telephone an6
Telegraph Co. recently made an Offer
Of this kind to its shareholders /,
sent out circular explaining in the
simplest of language just what the
rights to subscribe to the new stock
were and how they might be exer.
cised. notwithstanding all this car.
on the part of the company ther,
were many shareholders who through
neglect or ignorance neither uset
their rights themselves or sold then
to. others.

BABSON PREDICTS BETTER TINES
FOR IMMENSE OIL INDUSTRY
Declares Price-Cutting Cannot Last Indefinitely
Urges Great Care in Buying
Securities.

about to be put on the market should
greatly accelerate this branch of the
business. Oil should rightly replace
anthracite in New England. New
York State. Pennsylvania and in the
territory where anthracite at high
cost is now being used for heating.
Declares Industry Sound.
Il do not say that the oil industry
has turned the corner nor that
prices will not be cut still further,
but it should be recognized that the
industry is a staple industry and is
fundamentally sound. The present
warfare cannot continue Indefinitely
as I've already shown.
The difficulty is not due to over
production nor lack of demand. but
rather to the competition between
the companies. If the truth were
known Ahe oil business misses John
2. Rockefeller. senior. and is now
looking for some other general to
take his. place.
The right man may be one of the
present Standard Oil men or it may
be Mellon of the Gulf or some other
strong independent operator. Those
who wait until such IL man arrives
will find that it is too late to pur-
chase oil or oil securities at bar
factory profit, these must be pur-
chased when things look dark as
they do at the present time. When
the industry straightens out its diff
culties and begins to get back on a
sound workable basis prices will have
gone up again. My analysis of the
situation leads me to believe that
those who want oil or oil securities
should begin to accumulate now and
not try to- wait and catch the lowest
possible price.
Care Needed in Selection.
1t is important, OF course, that the
right securities be selected. For in
vestment purposes those companies
which make their money in refining
and distributing oil are more salts
factory than those who depend upon
drilling for an income. OF the latter
class the pure promotions are to be
avoided.
General business as reflected on
the Babsonchart is running at z per
cent below normal This is the po-
sition that affords opportunities to
buy at bargain prices. Do not expect
profits. however. without rendering
some real service.

HOLD BOOTLEGGER REQUIRED
TO PAY U. S. INCOME TAX

How is a bootlegger to file his in
come tax return?
For the fourth time in the history
of prohibition and income taxes, this
query has presented itself to enbar-
rass the hard-working bootlegger. De-
partment of internal revenue officials
answered that question for him yes
terday. "Pay it just as though you
had earned it legally" they said.
In discussing the question they con-
tended that because the purveyor of
illicit beverages has broken the law
on one side, it does not permit him
to break it for second time by ignor-
ing the income statutes. Thus boot
logger is still left in quandry as to
the disposition of his income tax. If
he does make return on his illegal
gains, he fears apprehension, and if
he doesn't Uncle Sam will get him
for evasion cf tax laws.
Internal revenue officials pointed
out that if bootlegger wished to be
an ''honest bootlegger" and do his pa
triotic duty by his country, he file his
income under the head of "other
sources" a space for which will be
provided on the new income tax
blanks-but there was on thing of
which the officials were quite sure
that he must make return of some
kind
