LINcoLN'Se DREAMS
 FORETOLD FUTURE

The opening of Abraham Lincoln" at the Liberty theater Tuesday recalls that the martyr President was a be- liever in dreams and it is of record that he was the subject of two dreams equally remarkable.
 After he went to the White House, MT. Lincoln dreamed one night that he was on big ship sailing away in strange waters, he knew not whence or whither. The next morning good news came from the army. Many times thereafter President Lincoln had the same dream, and it was al ways followed by good news.
 Toward the close of the war the weary President had a terrible dream that upset both Mrs. Lincoln and him self for several days. One night he seemed to be aroused from his sleep by the voices of many people in mourn. ing and lamentation. The voices came from all sides as a choir invisible of woe, and he went out to inquire the cause. He descended the stairs to the east room and there, in the middle of it, stood black catafalque upon which rested a corpse Tn grave clothes. The

Uptown Sections Bid for Financial
District Tenants Is Equitable
Buildings Plant.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 24--Wall street
is waking up to the fact that 1t has
rival claimant to distinction as the
financial pulse of the Nation.
Not only does the young upstart
dare to take quarters right on Man
haitian Island, but it has the audacity
to borrow it's name as we'll. 1t calls
itself the Uptown Wall Street" The
Equitable Office Building Corporation
is seeking a reduction of the 1926 as
sessment for $31 900. 900 against the
Equitable Building. a 37-story sky
scraper on lower Broadway in the
Wall street district.
The burden of the Equitable COM
pany's plaint is that there is dls-
tinct drift of tenants to Uptown
Wall Street." and that Office space in
the Wall street district is no longer
at a premium.
The shortage in Office space exist
ing during and after the war has
passed. 1t is contended and there is
now marked surplus.
THE recent growth and develop
ment of an uptown financial district
and the unprecedented construction
of office buildings in uptown localities
have considerably affected and in
creased the vacancies in the lower
New York financial section" the
Equitable Company's petition states.
Wall Street, nestled among the sky
scrapers, does not fear that its glory
will fade so long as 1t keeps the
Stock Exchange. the Subtreasury and
the ]. p. Morgan & Co. Building, but
the office buildings are beginning to
feel the pinch of vacancies. and as
prominent brokerage and bond houses
continue to move to quarters in Up
town Wall Street" the rivalry between
the two marts of the money kings
seems likely to grow apace.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
First Mortgage Utility Bonds.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Coming down to details in our dis
cussion of utility securities as invest
ments and taking up the bonds first,
we must distinguish between the obll'
cations of operating and of holding
comnanies. While there are many
executions. the rule is that the bonds
of the operating companies take pre-
cedence in investment rank over
those Of the holding companies.
The first mortgage issues OF cleo
trio light and power, gas and tele.
phone companies with a record OF
successful operation are probably as
conservative investments as any
other class of security, United States
Government and certain State and
municipal bonds alone excepted. These
high. grade utility bonds. as group,
are lust as sound as the best rail-
road mortgages and because of GER
tain technical conditions are available
TO the individual investor at slightly
lower price than the corresponding
railroad bonds. At this writing the
best known of these electric light and
mower bonds sell to yield less than 5
per cent and apparently they are
steadily growing in investment favor.
One proof of this assertion is the
fact that new financing of the utili-
sively more advantageous to the cor
poration. For instance, only month
or so ago the New England Telephone
& Telegraph marketed a large bond
issue with a Az per cent coupon.
This has happened before. but not
very often. Railroad bonds with 4
per cent coupons and even 31a are
not uncommon, but most of them
were sold in pre-war days.
The day is coming in the opinion
of most authorities when there will
be no price difference to speak of
between the highest grade Of railroad
and utility obligations, or if there is
the utility bonds will sell to bring
the lower return.
Besides the first mortgage loans
there are available from time to time
many refunding and general utility
mortgage bonds which for all prac.
tical purposes are as well secured as
far as income is concerned as are
the prior liens. A little more care is
necessary in the selection, but for
those who do not demand an excess
of conservatism these junior bonds
are entirely suitable.
