Director NeiD York UAsuersitT
Bureau of Business Research
and Former EcoHomstst OF

A year ago corporations were
busy retiring bonds and preferred
stocks and replacing them with,
common stocks. F.
That was the easy way to raise
cheap money. Con1omn stocks
sold at such high prices that
many companies could get money
on q 2 per cent basis. .
How different things are noMl
Now we find few new common
stock issues. The style has
changed. Corporations are now
glad to issue. preferred stocks,
and even bonds. This Is simple
because they can now raise
money cheaper that way.
It Is the same old story. Al
ways, near the end of q bear
market, bonds, come into. greater
favor, Investors be ecome dis.
gusted with the uncertainties and
fluctuations Of stock prices. First
they turn to bonds. and the bonds
market rises. Then they find
the yields on preferred stocks
more attractive. and such stocks
rise.
Finally, the oyersupply Of COM
mon stocks becomes adjusted.
The prices Of, common stocks be-
come thoroughly liquidated. Then,
as rising bonds and preferred
stocks bring lower yields on such
securities, people begin to look
at common stocks again.

Earnings and Yields Best
Bets in Mart Plays

This Is the reason for tha oil
idea that q bear market ternai-
mates first In bonds and last II
common stocks. Buying seems
to spread from bonds to pre.
ferred stock to common stock.
One reason for stiIl being
doubtful az TO any sustained Ia.
vance In comOfi1I1 stocks Is the
fact that the bond market has
not yet shown q very convinc,
ing recovery The good oldfasl1.
Toned ideas are mostly turninG
out to be sound, and many pe0r
pie want TO see signs OF q gus
tanned rise In bonds and pre-.
ferred stocks before concluding
that the investment demand IS
broad enough to support d rising
market for common stocks.
So many Of the old leaders Of
the stock market still pay much
less. than good bonds that invest
tors are waiting to, see whether
their earnings win justify even
the present reduced prices.
Take General Electric, for q
ample. Its reported earnings for
nine months amount to only
$1.47 share. This compares
with $1.66 in the same period
last year. The company seems
likely to earn less than 50 q
share in, 1890, 49,
On the other hand, Interna-
tional Cement. which sells for
almost exactly the same price,
earned $5.H per share in the
first nine months. 1t pays "a In
dividends. Thus IL yields Z per
cent and sells for but little more
than eight times earnings.

ST. LOUIS, May 31.-The Grand Ma
tional Bank, looted Of more than ST.
600, 900 in cash, securities and other
valuables taken from safe deposit boxes
a week ago. weathered a run today.
A long line of customers, fearing the
institution would fail after disclosure
Yesterday that its part of the loss would
approximate S400, 900, fled through the
bank all day withdrawing deposits. At
times the line extended for more than
block down the street.
Twice money trucks arrived with ad-
ditional cash from the Federal Reserve
Bank. One delivery, the bank an
nounced, consisted of $450,000 loaned
for the emergency by the Chase Ma
tional Bank of New York.
Late today President Ed Mays de-
clared that the crisis had passed and
that all demands had been met and
would continue to be met. He said the
bank is solvent.
Continuing their investigation, police
oficials reiterated their opinion the rob-
berry was an inside job" They were
convinced that some one in the banks
employ was familiar with the robbers
plans before the looting, which took
place last Sunday morning, while the
safe deposit vault, being dismantled for
moving, was unguarded. Clifford j.
Herbert, cashier, who has resigned, and
William A. Brittin, custodian of the
vault, who was discharged yesterday
are under $4,000 bonds pending in
vestigation.
