EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
LOW mot ALWAYS" CHEAP.

1t Is curious how MANY peonIe
confuse low-priced stocks with cheap
stocks' md examples Of this every
uay IN my correspondence. Some
oody writes me he wants to buy q
certain stock. which is selling for
81 share, because it is CHEAP"
ot course, as a matter of fact one
STOCK may be very dear at s1OO a
share and another very cheap at s100
share.
nevertheless, low prices have a
fatal fascination for good manv
people. The speculator Is more wary.
" men ne sees prices going down he
either steps aside or rides along"
with them. He likes to go with the
current. He leaves it to the untrain-
ed outsider to buy simply because
the quotation is lower than 1t was
week or month ago. The other day
had letter from reader who
wanted to buy a stock of q certain
railroad whose financial position is
doubtful simply because the stock
as he put it, was going down."
Now 1t is true that every so often
there come times of market depres-
sion when quotations for standard
shares are forced down below their
real merit and opportunities are pre-
sented to pick up bargains. Such oc-
do come they should be used to ac-
qufre only shares in corporations en-
gagged in essential industry with long
records of profitable operation. Even
then investors must be prepared to
see further depreciation in the mar
ket price of their holdings. But that
is an entirely different matter from
rushing in to take up some specula-
tive stock now selling at IS simply
because it was once quoted at $10
There is always a reason for the de-
cline, reason that should be care
fully examined before making a
commitment.
The trouble is. the people who can
least afford to take chances of this
kind are the ones most eager to as
sumo them. 1t Is the function of a
speculator to carry such risks and
in SO doing he performs an economic
service. For this service he is en-
titled to reward in the way Of profit,
if he can secure 1t. There are al
ways losses to be subtracted from
the profits. In the long run the pay
Is not high for the work, however

NEW YORK, November 10.-Manu-

109 industries show their output So

1921 and $9.1s6,000,000 for the same
articles in the abnormally high year
1919. Another evidence of increased
activity in 1923 Is found in the fact
that the estimated number of wage
earners employed in the 109 indus
tries thus far included in the re-
turns of 1923 Is stated by the census
reports at 1.335.289 against s93,32S
