CONFIDENCE HOLDS UP
IN TRADE OUTLOOK

NEW YORK, July % CP).-General
confidence during the week in the
trade outlook was inspired by a state
ment of President Charles L. Mitchell
of the National City Bank that all the
.reassuring conditions which marked
the revival of business early in the
year were still present and that a
fresh expansion appeared to be under
way without any prospect of a strain
on the Nations credit resources.
Trade news was mostly encourag-
ing. Second-quarter earnings reports
of the Bethlehem, Youngstown Sheet
and Tube and Gulf States Steel com
panies compared favorably with the
corresponding period last year and
stimulated trading in all the steel

ment early in the week was in favor
of lower prices, and to some extent
that was true at the close. However.
as the week progressed and arrivals
of butter in markets were found to
be considerably lighter than for the
week previous and the corresponding
week in 1924, the easier undertone
which prevailed at the opening almost
entirely disappeared
Supplies of fancy butter on all mar
kets were rather light, and this,
coupled with a more active demand
from consumptive buyers, had much
to do with the development of the
firmer feeling and resultant price ad-

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Why Savings Banks Are Safe

1t is generally admitted that the
degree OF security afforded to deposits
in savings banks is as high as can be
had anywhere else except in United
states Government bonds. 1t may be
instructive to consider how this has
come about. Perhaps the investor can
learn some lessons from the study Of
savings bank procedure.
Leaving out of consideration the
vitally important factor of conserva-
tive management and rigid State su-
perV1s1on, the first thing to be noted
is that when savings banks invest the
money you have intrusted to them
they do not look for a high return.
The bonds that the law allows the saw
ings bank to buy are the kind that
the get-rich-quick promoter sneers at
Just now such bonds nearly all sell to
yield less than per cent and some Of
them only Az per cent. When safety
is essential, as it is with these institu-
tions, there is never a reaching out
for any unusual return. That is one
reason why savings banks are safe.
In the second place, because of the
large amounts these banks have avail
able for investment, they are able to
lessen the risk, and there is risk in
all forms of money-representing obli-
cations by diversification. The reason
that the small saver cannot get the
half per cent or so that the savings
bank receives with equal security is
that he is unable to buy as many diff
ferent issues of bonds If by any
chance something should happen to
one particular security, the loss is
negligible to the savings bank, where.
as it might be disastrous to the indi-
vidual. Diversification is then an
other point of superiority.
FINALLY the men who have the 70
sponsibility of investing savings bank
funds are trained in their business.
They are in close touch with the Sc
curity markets, in closer touch than
is possible for any individual who is
necessarily absorbed in his own bust
ness.
