NEW YORK, March 1.-Strength
in foreign issues again was the fea'
ture Of the day in bonds. Trading
spread out over a larger number OF
obligations than on Saturday or Mon.
day, and while gains were mostly
small, the whole list showed evidence
of better support than in long time.
Poland IS, which had set up rec
ord high for all time in the preceding
session, extended their gains today
and Poland 6s bettered their best
previous price when they sold at "a.
Yokohama 6s were in demand around
90, and Uruguay Is pushed ahead into
new high ground on the movement.
Practically all the French bonds
gained ground, with the most interest
shown in French 712s. just under ITO.
Some large blocks of French rs were
taken fractionally higher. Brazil 61as
were still the favorites among that
couutry's obligations. German Gen.
eral Electric Gas with warrants went
up nearly two points and the fiat Is
with warrants. which had reacted late
yesterday, regained the loss today.
There were several features in the
railway group. One w - the heavy
trading in Delaware and Hudson con-
vertible SIS, at an advance of point
or more. This is the bond that is con-
vertible UP to October J., next, into
Delaware and Hudson stock at $50.
Another was Wilkes Barre and East

above 101. Trading in this issue was

| Oil bonds did not do so well. Sim

Hall 6s, with warrants lost ground.
| The only one in this group to move

was slight. Cities Service Power 4

laboratory In foreign exchange and
currency since the war.
Many of the age.long monetary fai-
lacies were tested,
AS result the sentiment is In
creasingly hard for money and
stable exchange rate.
The most marked steps toward
riRhting the currency situation In re-
cent months have been taken in Italy
and France. Italy has been more
ruthless than France in raising the
value of it's currency at the expense
Of debating business.
Much Improbable.
Every one recognized that recov-
cry in the deprecated currencies
would temporarily put damper on
the foreign trade of the country going
through dehation. However, much Of
the trade, which had been based on
deprecated currency, was unprofit-
able. In Germany during the intla.
ton merchants sold valuable raw ma
terials and human labor below world
price levels and thus impoverished
themselves and the country.
Italy, with q higher exchange rate,
has apparently had more profitable
foreign trade, despite some shrink
age in physical volume OF exports.
The revaluation of the lire began last
August. In 1926 Italy bought more
foreign merchandise by 1.109 900 tons
than In 1925, but paid 1000, 900 900
Ira less for 1t. Italy's sales abroad
during the year We're less by 564.-
900 tons, but 1t received ais 900 900
more for It's exports, thus reducing
tho trade deficit.
What all Europe has learned is
that stable currency is helpful to
trade~~and fluctuating one dis
turbing.

of the Nation. Gives him the thrill
OF participation In the digging of
tunnels through great mountains, the
spanning of rivers, the fertilization
OF arid fields and the manufacture Of
q variety of new and useful prod
ucts which assure a rising standard
of living TO the great masses OF his
fellow men.
The individual. of course. faces
dangers of excessive thrift. For in
stance, the father who denies his
children an ample education and
perhaps sufficiently nourishing food
and an attractive home life SO that
he can enjoy the strange thrill OF
watching his pile of gold grow faster
than his income really warrants. is
pursuing an unwise course.
Not Really Thrifty.
The individual who denies himself
good books, visits to the theater or
the opera. travel and a vacation once
q year, If his means permit, so that
he can accumulate capital faster than
his income tustifies, Is not really
thrifty in a higher sense Of the word.
Money Is purchasing power and the
true use of money is neglected by the
misery individual whose passion in
life is boarding, funds.
But for every miser there are tens
of thousands of spendthrifts-indi
duals who in their senseless whirl of
self qualification dissipate their eco
nomic energies. setting up no reserves
against the inevitable wearing out of
their physical machines, against the
day of sickness or premature death.
Good advice for the average man
would be: Save regularly and for def
mite purposes
Spend wisely and in accordance
with a well considered plan. Make
the automatic accumulation of thrift
fund an important incident in your
life, but one subordinate to the larger
problem of living well and usefully.
