Iar-S0me Concessions in

NEW YORK, November 15.-Con.
sdering the amount of the advance
| which they have already enjoyed and
the low return which they yield, the
further rise today in United States
Government bonds was the feature of
| the investment market.
The Liberty 4i4 S were firm, but it
was in the Treasury notes that the
most activity and the most pro.
nounced gains occurred. The 44 S and
the Is each rose Il. the former to
above 115 and the latter to 110. The
3As sold around 1h7 and the ass at
102is, which put them below 800
basis.
Higher Yield Wanted.
In the reinvestment of the proceeds
/ Of the second Liberty 414s, which ma
| tlred today, there is Il demand for
| considerably higher WELD than the old
bonds afforded. This is one of the
| problems of the banker who is dealing
with numerous small clients. He finds
that the holder of the second Liberty
| 4I4s, while content with a small re-
! turn during the life of the bonds, now
! looks for at least per cent. and in
/ many cases 512 to per cent.
The difficulty Of meeting these re-
Guirements is obvious The outlet for
| the funds released will probably go
into rather medium grade of bonds,
which is unfortunate, though q con-
siderable amount of it is being directed
| into high grade preferred stocks which
/ still may he purchased to yield be-
! tween ) and 1-5 per cent.
There were some concessions in the
market today for the better grade of
| railroad bonds especially the as and
/ 4iSs, but even higher prices than be-
fore in long list of per cent issues
that are already selling in the price
area between 110 and lis. Some de-
mand also developed for the 80 per
cent issues still selling at a material
discount and for per cent bonds of
| high credit railroads.
More than usual activity took place
in Baltimore & Ohio 41as al par This
bond is legal in New York State and
attractive for the yield in spite of the
fact that it has an inferior mortgage
position. 1t also has the advantage

That the coat.of.arms of the County
of Fife, the Thane OF Fife, is not reg.
istered was recently made known at
meeting OF the conveners' commit
tee OF Fife County Council. In 1924
Fife County Council was informed by
the Lyon king of arms that the crest
they were using on the county station
airy was objected to by his department
because IL had not been registered and
was a copy of the coat-of-arms of the
Duke of Fife, which was being used
without the consent Of the dukes rep
resentatives. The County Council took
the matter up with the Duke of Fife $
representative. Her Royal Highness
Princess Arthur of Counaught and OBJ
tanned her consent TO the use of the
crest. The secretary of the national
war memorial to be erected on Fdiu-
burGh Castle has recently pointed out
that as Flies Coat-of-arms was unreE
istered, II could not be included among
those of the counties and burgs in
Scotland unless a registration fee OF

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING

Qualities Of General Manager.

1t is difficult to chart the functions
of leadership, for the essence of fit-
ness to take command is a. capacity
to create ideas and TO initiate new
lines Of activity.
The duty of the general manager
is to determine the speed at whi6h
the wheels of an enterprise sholYfd
turn around. He il also responsible
for determining whether the wheels
themselves are the right size.
In an elaborate survey OF retail
merchandising, Paul NJ. Mazur, of the
investment banking house of Lehman
Bros. discusses the role OF general
manager of a department store. A
clear perception of the duties of the
man at the helm not only will be
helpful to general managers them
selves. but also to subordinates at
