UTILITIES IN GOOD
DEMAND ON CURB
Electric Bond and Share Is
Feature-Standard of
Kentucky Gains.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 16.--One Of the
outstanding features at the close of
the week in the Curb Market was the
wave of buying which came into the
market for soma Of the public utilities.
The manner in which offerings had
been taken earlier in the week in
dictated that the way was being
cleared for attempts to bring about
higher prices in this quarter. Those
back of the buying were basing their
contention upon the stability of earn
ings of this class of companies drl
the tendency toward expansion Of
operations.
Electric Bond and Share, one of the
largest management companies in the
utility field, rose spectacularly into
new high ground for the year where
it was up almost 5 points. Electric
Investors moved forward briskly for
gain Of more than a point. Northern
Ohio Power, among the low priced
issues, was in demand at higher prices
and others of the group were sympa-
thetically influenced.
Standard of Kentucky stood out
prominently in it's group, establishing
new high above 12212, notwithstand-
ing it's rise Of almost points Friday.
Prairie Pipe Line gained two points
and Humble Oil crossed the 60 level.
There was nothing new in the oil sit
uation to account. for their strength,
but in each instance the buying was
based upon prospect of favorable divi-
dend action later in the year.
Industrial specialties did not come
in for the attention accorded them on
previous days. Metropolitan Chain
Stores and General Baking "a" went
to new tops, but the demand for
other recent favorites had spent it's
force, at least temporarily.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
Emotion in Speculation.


While we are on the subject there
is one other hazard that enters into
speculation. At first thought it would
seem that If one acted entirely on the
dictates Of reason, analysed intellt-
gently all the available statistical
material and collected all the facts
about the major trends of the market
success in the long run would be
assured
For it is true that in time value
always counts. Prices may deviate
widely from value temporarily, but
they invariably come back. Over the
longer period the great speculative
markets are logical, however irrespon-
sive to fundamentals they may appear
at intervals.
This would all be true were it not
for this one additional element. AS
soon as q Spectator has made
commitment, has bought or sold a
stock or a commodity he begins to
be controlled alternately by hope and
by fear. His mind is perfectly clear
before he has put his money at stake,
but afterward doubt and confidence
divide command. If the market goes
in his favor he is elated and begins
to compute his profits. If it goes
against him he Is so dsnayed that he
is no longer able to think clearly.
Nine times out of 10 he closes out the
commitment not because he has
changed his mind about the facts on
which he originally based his pur-
chase or sale. as the case may be. but
because he is subject to mental strain
There are, Of course, a few individ.
uals who are able to control their
emotions no matter how great the
sum involved, but they are very few
1 am not speaking about those reck'
less SPECTATORS who assume risks
which would mean ruin if the market
went against them. The principle Is
the same even when the operator Is
taking only chances he can well
afford. This Is the reason why failure
often follows what appears to be the
most carefully planned and intelli.
gently conducted speculation.
