NEW YORK, December Almost
every day the stock market is front
page news while the bond market boasts
only a modest place in the financial
section. On the surface the shift to
common stocks seems to have changed
the financial structure. The fact of
the matter is, however, that stocks are
not replacing bondS-and the chances
are they never will.
Investing in Common Stocks.
The advantages of common stocks
have been widely preached during re-
cent years. They offer protection of
purchasing power if the cost of living
rises and they grow in value as the
country grows Statistical studies were
made proving that stocks held these
advantages. In the meantime economic
conditions have been such as would
foster a broad bull market under any
circumstances: Low money rates, stable
commodity prices and active business
maintained at a high level. A rising
stock market has always occurred under
such favorable conditions and this time
it was accompanied by the fact that
investors have taken large quantities
of common stocks out of the market
and put them in safe deposit vaults.
Many have not been content to buy
stocks outright but are holding them
on margin so that they can carry more

LOANS FOR TRADE
ACCOUNT INCREASE
Total of Brokers' Credit Ex-
tensions Reaches New
High Record.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December 1.-IncreaSe
Of brokers' loans to unprecedented to-
tails apparently no longer is to be viewed
with alarm as indicating overspecula-
ton, because legitimate financing for
business on security collateral is re-
placing use of commercial paper or un-
secured banking advances.
President e. H. H. Simmons of the
New York Stock Exchange recently
declared that expansion of the loan
total is due neither to temporary sit
uation nor to casual factors, but rather
to progressive changes in the employ
ment of credit.
Increased Use Of Credit.
THE use of credit has successfully
advanced from financing the individual
10 financing the partnership, from
financing the partnership to financing
the small corporation, and, finally, from
that to financing the great corporate
merger or holding company of our own
times he said. 1T seems obvious that
more and more we must accustom our
selves to a financing Of business turn
over in this country through the use
of brokers' loans instead of through
commercial paper or unsecured bank
ing advances"
He warned, however. that 1t remains
to be seen whether the innovation is
as sound and as desirable a system as
the earlier methods.
Loans made upon security collateral
he said. have almost entirely replaced
prime commercial paper, possibly be-
cause American business companies
have been able to accumulate great
corporate surpluSes. Moreover, many
corporations have financed themselves
through Issues of new securities and
consequently are able to meet through
their own liquid resources and without
borrowing at the banks the seasonal
porate funds not Immediately needed,
he pointed out, have been placed IN
the call loan market, factor in itself
partly responsible for the enormous
growth Of brokers' loans.
Record Total Reached.
The total of brokers loans reached
a new high record of $5,157,132.0O 900 No
vember 81 after a record increase of
$176,3l5,000 for the week. This is
compared with the low point of So
395, ,109, 900 for 1928, reached March
z, and the 1927 high record of $3,717,-
622, 900, reached December 90:
New York banks we're chiefly re-
sponsible for the record increase, loans
for their own account rising from
$994.367, 900 to $1,125, ,922. 900, or $751;
$4,000. The total for out-of-town
banks declined $666,000 to $1,75O. 1884,
900, while loans for the account of
others increased $55.426,0O0 to $780,
416,00O.
Indicating the greater activity of the
stock market as compared with the
bond market, demand loans advanced
Sl84.619,000 to $4.352. 1890 while
time loans declined $8,304,o00 to $685.

BALTIMORE GRAIN.

BALTIMORE, December l (Spe-
ciaD Heavy grain shipments in Eal-
timore In the last few days, with 8,000,-
900 bushels reported during the early
part of the week, led to statement
by G. H. Pouder of the export and i'm
port bureau that there was no danger
Of congestion, such as is existing at
Philadelphia.
An embargo has been placed on the
Philadelphia elevator because of tax
on its capacity, but Mr.. Pouder de-
clared that the elevator limitations are
at 12.550,000 bushels in this port.
In addition. the Western Maryland
Railway has leased from the Shipping
Board the use of 20 idle steamships for
storage. each to hold 250OO0 bushels.

of them. Perhaps the margins are
ample in the event OF stock market
break. The data which showed many
people the advantages of common
stocks throws some light on this point.
Price Fluctuations.
In one of the studies that was made
1t was considered that an investor
bought one share in each of number
Of leading companies in 1897 and held
them for quarter century. At the
end of the period the stockholder re-
ceived $3.50 for each $l00 originally in
vested.
At times, however, the holdings of
the common stock investor experienced
sharp declines In value. From 1906 to
in 1915 400 and again in 1919-1920
50ec The list contained such leading
stocks as American Can, American
Smelling American Telephone, Ana
conda, General Electric, Mack Truck,
Sears Roebuck, Standard Oil, U. S.
Rubber, u. s. Steel, Western Union
and Woolworth. If such list of COM
mon stocks can shrink 500 in value on
the average, it will take a really un-
usual brokerage account to be impreg-
nable against all market declines.
A Place for Bonds.
Today conservative investors are not
overlooking the stabilizing influence of
bonds in an investment list. While
bonds fluctuate in a general way with
stocks, their price variations are very
moderate by comparison.
The proper proportion between stocks
and bonds in an investment list seems
to vary according to the individual
needs. AS rule the greater the pos
sibility that the investor might have TO
fall back on his savings In case of
need. the more bonds he should carry.
The more risks the investor can afford
to take, the larger the proportion of
stocks which he can safely carry.
Proper Balance.
Barron's weekly made some investiga-
| tions along these lines when it held a
contest in which 1000 plans were SUD-
mittcd advising a widow how to invest
| S1Oo 000 The average recommendation
was that the widow put 500 into bonds
