RUKEYSER ASKS
STOCK TRADE
EFFECTS
BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

NEW YORK, May HAS the
recently heightened national pas
sion for stock speculation hurt
business?
Numerous sales managers assert
that preoccupation with the stock
market has diverted the attention
Of purchasing agents and others
from their own work. It is diff.
cult to measure such influences,
but in all probability the adverse
effect has been exaggerated. For
in the first quarter Of the year,
the first $50 corporations to report
net earnings revealed q gain OF 10
per cent over the corresponding
months of 1927. incidentally, the
first quarter of 1927 was the most
prosperous one Of the year.
One Business Aided
One business can directly trace
favorable results to the recent
boom in Wall Street.-The makerR
Of bookkeeping and computing
machines. Edward r. Geer, vice
president Of the u n d erw o d
that brokers who had hitherto
used oId-fashioned hand methods
in their accounting departments
were forced by clamor for SER
vice by the public to turn to the
labor saving machines. More
over, banks greatly increased
4ta{v. a~Savo Pap hattnrfAs -
machines. Mr.. Geer believes that
this breaking down of sales re-
sistance on the part OF con.
sentative brokers will have per.
manent results. inasmuch as the
order paves the way for future
business.
Incidentally, the revolution In
methods in the factory has been
paralleled by similar striking
changes in office technique.
Advantage Of Options
A successful corporate execu.
tive remarked to me that it was
his policy to buy options when
ever he could but never to grant
them. An option is the right to
purchase property under specified
conditions If the holder sees fit.
It protects the buyer against fail.
ure to participate in future pros
perity. Under present conditions,
with stock prices at unprece-
denied heights. when the prudent
buyer hesitates to make commit.
ments in speculative issues at
current levels, convertible pre-
ferred stocks, convertible bonds,
and bonds with stock exchange
warrants, offer a possible way
out Of the dilemma Of the in
weston who does not wish to pay
inflated prices but who desires
to be in a position to participate
in future prosperity.

buying in the cotton market here

Prices shaded downward to the

BANKING RULES
ADJUSTED TO
HUMBLE
By B. c. FORBES

Banking, including borrowing,
is being brought within reach of
the numblest. Democracy has
made many advances since the
war; in the field of finance 1t has
made extraordinary strides in this
country.
The announcement OF Americas
largest bank that 1t has perfected
4 plan to make loans Of $50 to
$1,000 to workers at straight
per cent rate is the latest illuStra-
ton.
Credit used to be extended for
the most part only to govern
ments and rulers and potentates.
With the growth Of commerce
came commercial borrowing. But
the granting of banking credit
to individuals not engaged in
commerce only recently became
an important factor in this coun-
try.
TO buy on the installment plan
meant the granting of credit on a
scale never before known. This
credit was extended Dy the
seller but the installment seller
usually turned to some financial
institution to share the burden.
Meanwhile, machinery has been
organized in most parts OF the
country to enable farmers 70 bor-
row on reasonable terms. The
banking facilities available for
our farm-folk today are incQn-
parably better than they were
even a few years ago.
Both movements represent the
characterization of credit.
Loan sharks have plagued the
world for centuries. This coun-
try has had it's share Of them.
OF late years, however, banking
or other financial institutions
have sprung up which nave done
quite an extensive business in
making loans to persons of
modest means on terms much less
burdensome than those imposed
by loan sharks.
That the example set by the
National City Bank of New York
will rapidly be followed through
out the country can be taken for
/ granted. 1t is such a logical step
along the line American banking
is aggress;vely following. The
plan is simplicity itself. The Dor.
rover is not called upon to pledge
home or other collateral, but sim
ply has to find two friends will
ing to indorse his obligation. Re-
payment is made by weekly or
monthly or other agreed-upon in
stallments.
No fee is imposed for 'inves-
tigating" the applicant or for
any other purpose, as heretofore
has usually been the rule among
those granting small loans to
individuals. Under the new, clean
cut plan. The borrower pays s
per cent, nothing else.
