BETTER TONE IN STEEL.
Prices More Stable as Volume OF
Orders Increases.

NEW YORK. October II lPl.-The
reported increase of 204.404 tons in un-
filled orders on the books of the Steel
Corporation. combined with evidences
of continued good general buying
since the first of the month, caused a
feeling Of increased confidence in the
steel market during the past week
This was reflected in the volume of
forward orders and more stability in
prices. Pig iron was distinctly firm
and forward offers We're small owing
to the more acute fuel situation, de-
spite larger foreign offers Scrap
steel was more active and firmer.
Copper was steadier.

sition of the st. Louis-San Francisco
Railway in the merger program for
Southwestern carriers. Although the
Frisco is the largest of the South
western roads available for consolida-
ton, it has failed to take the initiative
in merger moves, while the smallest
road in that territory, the Kansas
City Southern has outlined plans to
head a system including the katy

Frisco officials are reported ready
to oppose this step, but experts be-
lieve that sooner or later all four
roads will be brought together under

NEW YORK. October H.
Feverish speculation in the stock
market. with trading swelling in
breadth the volume to dimensions
unequaled since the riotous mar
kets of 1918, pushed all other finan-
ctal developments this week into
relative obscurity.
Trading was featured more by
the enormous daily transactions
and the violence Of fluctuations
than by any sustained movement
OF prices. Waves Of bullish en-
thusiasm repeatedly swept over the
market, but were difficult to con-
troll.
On top Of frenzied scramble for
the motor shares United States
Steel and General Motors headed
the forward procession, but an on
slaught of profit taking and bear
selling caused a quick collapse in
prices at the end of the week.

Common Stock as Investments.


This article lie devoted to a dis
cussion of common stocks rs invest
ments. There are authorities who
would deny that common stocks had
any claim to investment rating. But
this. in my opinion. is going too
far. There are stocks representing
simply o share in the profits OF the
business which have paid dividends
for so long a period OF years that
they are entitled TO consideration by
genuine investors. It is true that
the market price of these stocks va.
ries over a wide range and that
profits OF the business involved are
also subject to large fluctuations.
Yet because OF conservative manage.
ment and large SURPRISES stored up
in good times for use In depressions
stockholders receive about the same
return one year as another.
The great majority OF common
stocks are not of this class. Most
Of them are pure specuiations and
this is invariably the case with
shares in n new enterprise. Avoid
all such unless you are prepared to
take extreme risks. Apply the same
rule to shares In enterprises which
do not cater TO an essential human
need. In ''hard times" people get
along without Injuries whether they
want to or not and the income OF the
corporations which supply the lux.
uries melts away. But there are
cernin services and certain products
which tho civilized world cannot get
along without. When you find n
corporation engaged In these actiy.

INSURANCE OUTLOOK
'BRICHT, SAYS BABSON
Statstician Analyses Investment Position Of
Both Policies and Securities With
Forecast for Future.

BABSON PARK. Mass, Jan. TO-
Three years ago Roger w. Babson.
the statistician. was severely criti.
cized by many insurance men be.
cause he advised certain OF his
wealthy clients to cash in a portion
Of their life insurance. He pointed
out that good securities were then
very low and that 1t was good bust.
ness for a man to have as much as
possible OF his money in bonds. Mr..
Babson made 1t clear that no insur.
9nce should be cancelled which In
any way 1eopardized adequate pro
lection for ones family. He was
referring TO insurance taken as an
Investment. Since that time secur.
tiles have risen sharply In price
while life insurance is obtainable for
the same figure. In view OF this
changed situation Mr.. Babson today
issued the following statement:
AS the price of stocks and bonds
climbs upward life insurance be-
comes moro attractive as an invest.
ment. OF course It has been only
during recent years that life insur-
ance has been sold as an investment.
1t started like fire insurance and
other forms OF insurance. as a meth,
od of mutual protection. Men took
out what they needed in order to
take care OF their families In case of
death. 1t has only been in recent
years that insurance has been taken
out for corporations. business
houses, and estates. OF ourse pro-
itective Insurance. should be taken
out by everyone to a certain amount,
and should never be cancelled, cash.
cd in. or switched. If, however. a
man gets enough Insurance to take
care of his family any additional In
surance really becomes an invest.
ment rather than insurance. Some
life insurance men may disagree
with this distinction. but I am sure
every fair-minded analyst would
make 1t. I mention. this distinction
because. not being an insurance e
pert. 1t is only In relation to such In.
vestment insurance that I have any
right to speak.
""I have always advised tho pur-
chase Of insurance for protection -ir-
respective of what price securities
are selling for and whatever the
conditions in the security market. A
man who needs protection should
take out insurance The only dis.
agreement I have had with insur-
ance agents is due to the fact that
investment insurance is les, attrac-
tive when security prices are low,
and moro attractive when security
prices arc high. Because invest
ment insurance is always at the
same price, It must be Judged by
what the same money will buy in
other forms OF investment. In a
way It Is tho mean between the high
and low Of the security market. This
very fact. that It is n mean. Is the
reason that tho large insurance
companies are so strong and insur-
anoe Is so safe.
Whether or not insurance agents
win agree with me as to which was
the better investment three years
ago. insurance or securities. I am
