INAUGURAL PARADES
Interesting Comparisons of Cere'

at Public Library.

Interesting comparisons between early
and later day inaugural ceremonies may
be seen by visitors to the Washington
division in the central building of the
Public Library.
In honor of tomorrows inaugural
event Library officials have arranged a
rare collection Of pictures of all the
Presidents from Washington to Presi-
dent-elect Hoover. besides these OF
nearly all the inaugural ceremonies from
the days of horse-drawn vehicles to
motor cars Included in the exhibit are
pictures showing the White House and
Capitol during various stages of their
construction.
Here are shown pictures of the first
PRESIDENTIAL mansion at Cherry and
Pearl streets in New York City in 1880
OF Congress Hall. Sixth and Chestnut
streets, Philadelphia, built in 1890 and
occupied by the National Congress until
ioOO. An amusing old print of the
crush" at the White House after Jack
son inauguration would hardly express
the present idea of the meaning of this
word. - WHO
An interesting picture is that show
ing Andrew johnson taking the oath of
office at the old Kirkwood House. which
stood where the Raleigh Hotel now
stands. There is a large view of Presi-
oent Grants second Inauguration In
which the soldiers of the military
president are very much in evidence.
President Hayes Inauguration, with
panorama OF the whole city, shows the
former Baltimore a. Potomac Railroad
station at Sixth and B streets, and the
washington Monument partially COM
pleted, as we'll as other old Landmarks.
"A picture OF President Cleveland's
inaugural parade with its victoria
drawn by prancing horses is in strange
contrast to the parades of later PreSi-
dents, in which horses were discarded
for automobiles. President Wilson'S
was one of the longest parades ever held.

PROSPERITY BASED
. ON TRADE BALANCE
Nations Future Depends on
! Selling More Goods Than
It Buys. o..
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July when Presi-
dent Hoover became Secretary Of Com
merce, he published every year little
bulletin entitled, THE Balance of In
ternational Payments of the United
States" This has been put out yearly
under the direction Of DR.. r. o. Hall,
assistant chief of the finance and in
vestment division. Again it makes its
appearance.
For 1928, foreigners had to pay the
United States on balance 81 100 900, 900
for commodities and bullion; $685.
OOO, 900 for interest on our private in
vestments and deposits abroad; $2lO,-
100000 for war debt payments, and
$4,000. 900 for miscellaneous items.
These items total $2.268, 000, 900.
Now, let's take the other side OF
the ledger. The sums paid by the
United States to foreigners: United
States loaned abroad 1852, 900, 900;
tourists EXPENDITURES were $525, 900, 600;
interest payments to foreigners and de-
positors added another 1858, 900, 900;
immigrant and missionary remittanceS
sent abroad added another $24l 900, 900;
our freight shipments to foreign car
riers cost 84,000,000 And finally the
United States Government paid in for
eign payments $57 100000. These items
total $2,228, 00e 900.
The buys" and 1.-The sells" don't
quite balance-for all the figures are
not yet mathematically exact.
Some interesting figures are given by
r. P. Lamont, Secretary of Commerce
. $481 900, 900 was the volume of net
new long-term investments in the
United States by foreigners in 1928
This has not been equaled since the
pre-war years. Then the amount OF
excess of goods sold abroad more Than
United States bought amounted to
81 .038 900, 900. the largest since 1921.
The amount spent abroad by tourists
last year will probably be exceeded
this year. So to that extent America
is helping to pay Europe's adverse bal
ance.
One of the basic rules of economic
nationality is this. that a nation can
not go on indefinitely buying more goods
outside it's boundaries than 1t sells out
side. International banking. in the
finer sense, renders the service to keep
these two items in balance.

FUTURE OF BONDS
APPEARS DOUBTFUL
Public Continues to Show In
terest in Equities-Money
Rate Factor.
Special Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK. July Al the tradi-
tional mid-year re-investment demand
has made its appearance so far 1t has
been in the stock market and not in
the bond market. Investment stocks
are being actively bought at record
high prices, most of them rails, but
included among them United States
much of this Is simply speculation and
how much Of 1t Is for permanent hold
ing. Probably both enter into the
matter.
1t all leaves in the dark, however, one
Of the most obscure problems confront
ing the financial community at the be-
ginning of the second half of 1929,
namely the future Of the bond market.
Stocks Of both kinds, rails and indus
trials, are selling at the highest prices
in history no matter what particular
issues are selected to make up the
average. Contrast this situation with
that obtaining in bonds. The average
of 40 domestic issues Monday prac-
tically equaled the low of the year,
established May 81.
All the gain of June has been lost
This low point is below anything seen
since 1925. The showing made by for
eign bonds Is only q trif1e better. The
average is now q little above the years
low point but 1t is below anything in
1927 or 1928, and well below the high
of 1925.
1t is not only a matter of price
There is no interest in bonds except
from few institutional buyers. The
individual investor Is concerned only
with stocks. For this condition there
are two reasons, one the prevailing high
rates for money. and the other the
fashion which prefers equities over all
kinds of fixed charge obligations.
AS far as money goes, there will
sooner or later be change for the
better. No one expects either call OF
time money to hold indefinitely around
its present levels. and one bar to re-
coveryin bonds will have been removed
when that comes to pass. It does not
follow, however. that the individual will
be lured back into the investment mar
kct, meaning thereby securities the
chief attraction of which is the income
they pay and not their possibilities OF
price appreciation.
