INVESTMENT TRUST
| PROFITS ARE HUGE
Holdings Of Public Utility
Stocks Have Yielded
Big Gains.
BY CHARLES r. sRKARE.


NEW YORK, June 22.--The profits
which the investment, trusts and trad
ing corporations took into the March
quarter, either from longtime invest
ments or on trading accounts, were
mainly in industrial stocks: These
profits permitted the trusts 10 show
splendid statements OF earnings per
share. .''.....
In the June quarter II Will be from
the appreciation In their huldings Of
public utility stocks that they win make
the best exhibit for this period. In fact,
there have been few occasions since the
came q prominent feature Of Its imam.
cial life when they have made money
so rapidly on one class Of securities as
they have recently I'm the junior shares
Of the electric light and power COM
panies. ,''''r
Holdings Large.
These profits have been very tempt
ing to the arrangements Of the invest
ment trusts and trading corporations.
It has required much courage to resist
taking them when they have come 20
fast and Of such size. Nearly an Of the
larger trusts have substantial blocks Of
the prominent operating ana holding
companies In the public utility industry.
These stocks have been o. feature Of the
market during the past month: Twenty
five such issues yesterday showed an
average advance OF 10 points over the
range Of quotations three weeks ago.
The largest Of these gains has been in
the groups of public utilities identified
with combinations now being arranged
in the Eastern States.
A great deal was said at the time
about the prominence Of the investment
trusts as supporters Of the stock mar
ket in the end OF May decline. InSeS-
tigation since then indicates that while
they did buy stocks when the market
was weak, their purchases were not very
large In the aggregate and had COM
paratively little effect on the general
lists. The stocks for which they showed
preference then. however. were the pub
lie utilities, and especially those COM
panies which well informed people
knew were about to be bought out by
interests identified with the United Cor
poration. It Is on this group OF stocks
that the more substantial profits have
been realized on paper, and in some
instances converted entirely into cash.
Exchange Listing.
None Of the investment trusts has yet
indicated its policy with respect to list
ing its shares on the New York Stock
Exchange. Eventually there viii be .
score or more Of investment trust stocks
on the big board.
Those who have been identified with
investment trust supervision and legis-
lation affecting these companies believe
that an ofiicial market for their sl1ares
would be Of much advantage to the en-
tire body Of investment trust securities.
It would have Q tendency to weed out
the questionable trusts and to give
stronger public support to, the obliga-
tions OF. those that were willing to meet
the rigid requirements Of the stock Tx
change. preliminary to listing.

Foreign trade still shows continued
large movement Of general merchandise.
Exports In May were slightly lower, but
imports again make q considerable ad-
vance, as they did In April, rejecting
an early movement to this country in
expectation Of higher customs duties.
Merchandise exports last month were
valued at $387, 00o, 900 and imports
$4o1 ,000, 900, the latter exceeding ex-
ports by $4,000, 900. This is the FIRST
time in over three years that the trade
balance on foreign account has been on
the import side. The reduction In ex-
ports OF SIS, 5000 from May, 1925,
was due, in the main, to lower cotton
exports, which were only 328, 900 bales,
falling OF Of nearly so per cent from
year ago. In value the decrease in
exports Of cotton in May this year was
practically $4,000, 900, which explains
most OF the loss in total exports for that
month. On the other hand, merchan-
disc imports last month were nearly as
high as the $410, 677, 900 Of imports in
April this year, and compare with only
$353, 9sl 900 in May Of last year. Mer-
chandise imports have not mounted to
the value shown for the past two
months since 1921, excepting twice IN
the early months Of 1925.

 Dix is the son of a man who has been attending university since 1899 because he promised his wife that he'd stay at Colton till their eleven beat the crack State squad. Twenty-seven years have oozed by. His wife is dead, his son is now the Colton quarter back-and he is still studying!
