INVESTMENT TRUST POLICIES
ON TRADING ARE REVEALED

hected in loan reduction "for the ac-
count of Others"
The general policy of most Of the
larger investment trusts that do not
trade In and out of stocks has been
to keep their funds liquid for the past
six months and to place Immediately
the proceeds of new issues of their
securities in the call money market.
/ This has been more profitable ave-
nue. for them than in buying the type
of securities which they are permitted
to buy. Some of them have minimized
the risk of speculative markets by pur-
chasing the shares of each others COM
panies which amounts to kind Of
superdiversification.
1t was reported that several new in
vestment trusts were in the making.
Following the successful flotation last
week of the $100,000,000 Goldman
Sachs Corporation stock, which was at
a premium of about z points yester-
day, there is under consideration a
$50, 100000 investment trust sponsored
by group of private bankers, and in
which it is said half a dozen large
American and British industrial COM
panies will invest 100000.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, December 12--The in
vestment trusts, which have been
among the largest corporation lenders
in the call money market this year, had
their first opportunity last week to buy
on a substantial break in stocks.
Investigations indicated that some of
them took advantage of the panicky
conditions on Friday and Saturday to
purchase standard investment indus
trials and rails, while others stood off
waiting for further adjustment in
market values to what they regard as
actual values. A third group took a
trading position and bought moderate
amounts of stocks on the assumption
that the market might have quick
rally which would permit them to
realize an immediate profit. This is
what they did in June when stocks
slumped, selling out the shares they
bought then on the early Summer rise.
The figures of brokers loans this
week may indicate to some extent what
the investment trusts and other large
corporations did during the market
furry, for if they called loans in order
to buy stocks, this fact would be re-
