GRAIN PRICE BREAKS
ON WEATHER REPORTS
Favorable Domestic Wheat Crop
Conditions Gives Values
Fresh Setback.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 2O.-With reports
telling of exceptionally favorable do
mestic wheat crop conditions, grain
values suffered fresh breaks today.
despite a show OF new strength at
the start. Initial firmness was due
largely to the fact that Liverpool
quotations had failed to reflect fully
the downturns in price yesterday on
this side of the Atlantic.
Offerings here, however. at once
broadened out on today's opening ad-
vance, and with heavy selling to stop
losses on the way down the market
dropped to about 2 cents below yes
terdays finish. Chicago opened un-
changed to cents higher, May (new)
1904 to 1.60h and July 1891. and
was followed by n fall to 1.57& for
May and then by rapid fluctuations,
in which much of the loss was over
come.
Corn gave way with wheat and
established a. new low price record
for the season. Further liquidating
on the part of holders, together with
other selling, carried May down to
72A, a point 5ss a bushel under this
weeks best figures. Buying to col
lect profits for speculative sellers led
then to a rally. After opening at
X off to - up. May 73% to 734
corn soon weakened, but later re-
covered.
Oats held within narrow limits,
opening unchanged to "a up, May
39as, and later keeping nearer to the
initial range.
Provisions averaged lower with
grain.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Preferred Stocks.

So far we have discussed stocks
without distinguishing between pre-
ferred and common issues. The pre-
ferred stock is a hybrid between a
stock and a bond. 1t has some of the
characteristics of both. On this ac-
count it is held in low esteem by
many authorities on investments.
Like common stocks, it represents
partnership in the business, but, like
a bond, the rate of return is Il fixed
one.
Provisions governing preferred
stocks vary widely, but in general
the preferred Stockholder must re-
ceive his dividend at the agreed upon
rate before the holder of the common
receives anything at all. The pre-
ferred rate may be or 8, or anything
up to per cent. In return for ac-
cepting this secondary place the COM
mon stockholder is entitled to all the
profits that are left after the pre-
ferred dividends are paid. This is the
usual rule, but there are some eXcep-
tions, as when the preferred stock
holders are allowed to participate in
additional earnings with the common
after the latter has received a certain
amount. The ordinary preferred
stock, however, is not of this kind.
Preferred stocks may be cumulative
or non-cumulative. A cumulative
stock is one on which, If the dividend
is not earned and paid in one year. the
amounts due accumulate and must be
all liquidated before the common re-
ceiveS any return. This becomes i'm
,portant when in one or more years
of poor business no dividends are
earned or paid on any class of stock
The holder of a cumulative preferred
issue may always hope that his losses
one year will be made up subsequent
"; the owner of a non-cumulative pre-
ferred stock can have no such eX-
pectatiOn.
Some preferred stocks may be re-
tired at the option of the corporation
at a fixed price; for others no provi-
sion is made for redemption. If the
preferred issue Is a high-grade invest
ment it is an advantage to have II
non-redeemable because there is no
artificial limit to an adavnce In its
market price. This may be illustrated
by comparing United States Steel
preferred with Standard Oil of New
Jersey preferred, of approximately
equal investment rating. Steel pre-
ferred is non-callable, and so sells
much higher than Standard Oil of
New Jersey preferred, paying the
same dividend, which may be re-
deemed at lis. -..-

BONDS IRREGULAR
IN TODAY'S TRADING
Convertible Oil Issues Go Up
SharpIy-Chicago Railway
5S Decline.
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.
pecial Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 20.-Further
sharp declines in Chicago Railways 5s
and Chicago City and Connecting Rail
way 5s. together with sharp advances
in convertible oil issues, We're the fea-
lures of the trading in bonds today.
The break In the Chicago Railways SIS
carried the price to a new 1925 low,
selling being d continuation of that
which came into the market on Fri
day and founded upon doubts as to
the ability to refund the issue at ma
turity next February under existing
political conditions. The rise in the
oil issues was most conspicuous in
Sinclair 6s and Skelly 6las. the latter
at 120 being up 3ia points. These
oil bonds were, of course, going up
with their respective stocks.
OutSide these two speculative move
ments, there was no important change
in the character of the trading. The
strictly high grade investment issues
were nearly all steady. There was an
especially good demand for Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern 5s and the
Northern Pacific underlying bonds.
Pennsylvania general 4l2s. Lehigh
Valley as and Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburgh 4RS were a shade lower.
The Liberties all sold around the high
of the week. and the second 412s du-
plicated the high of the year. Senti-
ment continued optimistic about the
future of the investment market be-
cause of the ease in money.
The pressure continued on obliga-
tions of the railroads operating in
the South. Seaboard Air Lines 6s
dropped below 90 to new low for
the year. Seaboard All Florida 6s
dipped below "a. Most Of the Erie
junior liens We're lower and there
were heavy offerings of Denver and
Rio Grande Western 5s, which, how
ever, We're we'll absorbed.
Foreign issues, particularly the
European. sagged. but losses were
not pronounced. French IS, French
71as and Seine Is were off fractional
ly. On the other hand. Prague 7RS
and Swiss 512s were higher. The
new Sac Paulo issue to be offered
next week is expected to be priced at
96la to yield 7.30 per cent. The
amount will be S7.500,000 and the
bonds will run until 1856. The bal
ance of the lot will be issued stimuli
taneously in London.

NOUSSEAU IDEAL CANDIDATE

Those who may be opposed to the reelection OF
Calvin G. Mousseau county clerk Will have to 90
considerable digging to present any legitimate argu
ment against returning him to office.
Since his election four years ago. Cal mas perform
ed the duties of his office in Conscientious efficient
manner, adherng strictly to the rules set down tor
county clerks by the political code of the state OF Call
fornia
Efforts to sway him this way that for one rea-
son or another failed if it not written IN the law
that the course suggested to him was the right one
The records in his office public records, and as
such are accessible to citizens of the county Those
whose business demands that they should make use of
these records have nothing but kind words Tor the
courtesy accorded them by the county clerk and his
deputies who have sriven at all times to serve the
citizens of this community they would wish to be
served themselves.
It is to the credit of the county clerk that he is
seeking reelection solely the grounds that he mas
given his best efforts the people of the county, that
he is familiar with the duties of the office and with
the BACKGROUND of four of experience he is GER
tain to make better official during his second
term.
He has taken an active interest in civic affairs he
is firm believer in Imperial Valley and its future,
and is raising family here.
Another item to the credit of Mousseau is that
though he served in the United States army during
the World War, he has made mention of this fact
during his campaign More and more eX-servce men
are realizing that it is unfair go before the voters
and ask for support primarily the grounds that
they answered the call in the war Such appeals have
been made in the past and will be made in the future
