EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
INVESTMENT TRUSTS.

A new form of security has recently
been introduced to American investors
and an active campaign is on to popu-
larize II. For many years on the
other side what are known as in
vestment trusts have fiourished, but
it is only very lately that anything
of the kind has been attempted In
the United States. The idea back of
these organizations is simply the old
one of diverslhcation of risk made
possible by the combined resources
of large number of small capi-
talists.
The investment trust accumulates
large variety of stocks or bonds
and issues it's own securities agains
them. The theory is that even IL a
mistake should be made on one or
more Of the purchases 1t would be
compensated for in profits on the
from the whole would be reasonably
stable and higher than A. small in
vestor could secure unaided on any
conservative basis.
No fault can be found with this
theory and it has worked out very
well in Great Britain and in some
of the continental European coun-
tries. 1t will take some years of test
ing before II can be said that the
will prove as satisfactory. In one re-
spect some of the recently organized
investment trusts here have deviated
from the original A number OF our
organizations have confined their
holdings to securities In one group,
as, for instance, rails or utilities or
oils. obviously this does not give the
same protection that would be de-
rived from a distribution of holdings
among many different industries.
Then, too, some of the new Ameri-
can investment trusts are not feNi-
BILE as are the original British or
ganizations The latter are allowed
in the discretion of the managers
to shift about their investments as
changing conditions warrant. The
matter OF market also is highly
important and should be considered
before buying the securities of these
trusts. On the other side they have
proved so successful that 1t is an
,asy matter to find buyer II one

January 1 to March Is, 1925. Copies
of the forms have been mailed to per-
sons who filed individual returns for
the year 1929, Failure to receive a

and was not in excess OF $4,000

The ratio of truck production to
passenger car output will increase
decidedly during the coming year."
said Walter C. White, president of the
White Motor Co.. today, Every ad-

mand. So far as passenger vehicles

duction to decrease, but / do expect
that the industry will gravitate into
fewer hands. In other words. some
companies will show largely In
creased sales In the coming year, but
these gains will be at the expense
OF some other producer rather than
from virgin fields. Truck and bus
transportation, however, is only In its
infancy"
Bus Expansion Assured.
'It is pretty hard to estimate re-
Quirements in the bus field, but ]
doubt II a production of 10000 busses
this year would hll the demand.
Whether 10000 will be built or not Is
anOtner question. FTOHl the pcst coti-
mates we have been able TO compile

Architecture Changed.
The use of trucks is having

chants and manufacturers have begun

out choking surrounding streets and
courts.
Architects have seen the trouble
engendered by small alleyways and
courts, in which perhaps a one-horse
laundry wagon may keep a score of
trucks waiting In a busy street while
the driver collects towels through
out building. Plans now therefore
usually include ramps for truck en-
try and exit to the basement of
buildings.
Truck prices. according to manu-
facturers, are likely to remain fairly
stable for the first part of this year.
Rising cost of materials are operat-
ing against reductions and keen
competition against advances.

BALANCE Of TRADE
FAVORABLE TO u. S.
Commerce Department Also
Notes Heavy Exporting of
Gold During 1924.

A trade balance favorable to the
United States OF s977,285, 900 for the
calendar year 1924 was shown to-
day in Commerce Department figures
on the foreign trade of the Nation
for the IL months.
Exports in December were valued
at S443,000.0e0 and imports at S334,-
600. 900, leaving a favorable trade
balance for the month of sos, 900, 900.
Most Remarkable Year.
Total value of exports for 1924
was S4,5Ss,266, 900, with imports of
SO. 0,9S0,000. Except for 1919 and
1920, when conditions were left dis
turbed by war, the return for 1924
indicated the greatest foreign trade
ever enjoyed by the United States.
AS had been forecast, the figures
showed large movement of gold out
of the United States during December,
exports for the month being s39,674,-
600. compared with imports of s10,-
274, 900. Silver imports for the month
were s5,s63,00Q, with exports of ST.
279,O 900.
Gold Shipments Explained.
Commerce Department officials said
the outflow of gold although long
contemplated in the shaping of Ameri-
can governmental and banking policy
had probably been stimulated con-
siderably during December by the re-
establishment of the German currency
system under the Dawes plan, which
involves a building up of gold stocks
in that country under control of the
Reichsbank as well as by prosperity
in India, where the natives invariably
turn to the purchase of gold for orHa-
ment and saving when trade condi-
tions permit.
For the calendar year 1924. how
ever, the United States is still a
gamer Of gold. since total imports
were $31a.72O 600 against exports of
s6l.64S,000. Total silver imports for
the year We're s73,944,000 with ex-
ports OF s109, 900.
Record Import Total.
The import total of S334,000,0 900 for
December was one of the largest en-
countered during the last four years.
The notable increase which has taken
place in the general foreign trade
was indicated by the fact that during
December. 1913, a normal prewar year,
the imports were S1S4025, 0e0, while
the exports We're $233 1880 For
the year 1913 imports were valued at
Sl,792, $4,000 and exports We're
s2.4S4,olS,000, or approximately one
half of the comparable figures in
1924.
