NEW YORK CURB MARKET
Received by Private Wire Direct to The Star Office

the close of business Tuesday that
wholesale gasoline prices had been
advanced fractionally for the first
time since last Spring. Standard Oils
were definitely strong, the Indiana
stock gaining l " points when 1t sold
at 3S. Advances of a half point to two
points occurred in Imperial of Cana
da, Standard of New York, Vacuum
and Kentucky. Expectations of an
early advance in Wyoming crude
prices was reflected in the heavy de-
mand for such stocks as Mutual,
Mountain Producers and Salt Creek
issues.
The outstanding feature among
specialties was the persistent demand
for Duz, which carried the price well
above the previous close.

LOWER RATES SOUGHT

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 22.-People's
Counsel William NJ. Maloy has filed
a petition with the Public Service
Commission asking that the rates and
charges now in effect for gas and
electricity be reduced on the grounds
that at least '$1S,000,000 of the pres
ent capitalization Of the Consolidated
Gas and Electric Company is 'water,"
for which it's owners paid little or
nothing.
The stock, worth less than moth
ing" in 1912, has been built up in val
ue until it is selling for 1876 today,
he said.
A rate decrease is possible because
of the cheapness with which the COM
pany Is buying coke-oven gas from
Sparrows Point and hydro electric
current from the Pennsylvania Water
and Power Company, he said

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.
FOREIGN BOND PROBLEM.
Iyiuhfx-StNfh Article

| am sometimes asked what | think
about foreign bonds Are they good
for investment? Are they safe?
Would you advise me to buy them?
Now, no one answer can be given to
all the people who ask these ques-
tions. For some investors foreign
securities are desirable; for others
theX are not.
As.,L have repeatedly explained in
this series, everything depends upon
the irrespective investors resources.
NoG0ne is justified in putting all his
funds into foreign bonds or, for that
matter, into any one class of security
If his capital is small he must be
content with the comparatively low
return which high-grade domestic
bonds afford. If his resources are a
little larger, he may properly reach
out for larger returns. Even then,
however, foreign bonds cannot be-
considered as whole. They vary in
merit, just as do domestic bonds.
Some are high grade and conserva-
tive Investments: some are specula-
tive in the extreme. There are finan-
cially strong governments and there
are financially weak governments
The trouble is that the average
American investor divides all securi-
ties into two classes. American and
others. The matter is not so simple
In q general way the credit of for
eign borrower corresponds to the re-
turn which it's obligations give in
the open market. This is not an in
fallible rule, but you will not go far
wrong If you follow 1t. For example,
the bonds of the Dominion of Can
ada, of the United Kingdom, of Switz-
erland and of Sweden sell on a lower
yield basis than those of other for
eign governments, and these count
tries rank among the strongest fifan-
cially. After them come the nations
of northern Europe, which were neu-
trail in the Great War, and one or
two of the more prosperous South
American countries.
Is it not evident. then, that foreign
bonds of this class are on different
plane from those offered by the new
1y organized mid European countries,
as well as those who suffered se-
verely in the war? Remember, I am
not saying that these other bonds
are not worthy of investment consid-
GRAFTON. / am only pointing out that
there are degrees of strength in for
eign securities as in all other kinds
of investments. In other words in
this field. as elsewhere, you get what
you pay for. If you insist upon a
high return on your investment, you
must take the risk that goes with it,
and that is true whether the invest
ment is domestic or foreign.
