Buying for Profit
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

With foreign government bonds, par
ticularly these of South American
debtors, so severely depressed in market
price. the question constantly arises
whether they have reached an attrac-
tive buying level Certainly the yield
is tempting, or would oe if one were at
all sure of continuity of interest pay
ments.
OF course, one cannot be sure. and
that is the reason for the high return:
It is safe to say, however, that economic
conditions are of greater importance
than political changes in determining
an investment program with regard to
these foreign bonds. 1t is not a revo-
luton or the threat Of a revolution that
need be feared so much as it is diff
culties brought about by continuous
fall in the world price Of the commodity
the country in question has 20 export.
For example, the situation in Bolivia,
one of the South American nations
that defaulted on certain Of its dollar
bonds, will depend more on the price OF
tin than it will on the makeup of the
particular government that may happen
to be in power. Similarly, it is the cof-
fee market which is the determining
factor in appraising the value OF Bra
lillian securities, as 1t is the wheat out
reverse in Argentina.
Granted the good faith of all these
their willingness to pay,
no administration can overcome the ef-
feet on its people of price collapse in
its most important product. Nor can
any government permanently control
prices, not even the Government of the
United States, as the record Of the
Farm Board demonstrates. The forces
that govern prices are too strong to be
set aside by any law or any board or
commission constituted ny law. Expert
ments along this line have invariably
failed.
The conclusion then is, as far as the
South American bonds go, that the risks
of purchase will continue until there
are definite signs, not simply OF COM
modify price sterilization, but OF COM
modify price recovery. When that point
is reached the form of government or
the party in power will not make much
difference to the American buyer OF
South American bonds.

COTTON PRICES Up
40 POINTS IN WEEK
UnfavorabIe Crop News and
Better Inquiry for Spots
Aid Since May /.
BY FRANK I. WELLER,
Associated prees Farm Editor

Cotton prices are about 40 points
higher than the closing quotations on
May 1, due In part to a little better
inquiry for spot cotton in certain
lengths and in part to unfavorable crop
news.
The general market trend has been
downward since the middle of March,
but some professionals now are going
long on cotton, claiming the trade is
facing a period when growth conditions
are likely to change the market quickly.
Weather Draws Attention.
Cool, wet weather and the late start
in many sections Is attracting more at
tention, and should rains continue
through the first half of this month
some look for weevil scare and an in
crease in the speculative buying power
in oil.
termination of seed is said to be
slow in North and East Texas, and
large areas likely will have to be re-
planted as soon as soils dry sufficiently.
All of Oklahoma is reported as too cold
and most sections as too wet. Cold rains
have been rather heavy in the Caro-
linas, and showers in the Montgomery
and New Orleans districts have not been
encouraging.
Estimates Of acreage reduction and
abandonment range from "a to Is per
cent. Chairman Stone of the Farm
Board said the most important feature
in the cotton situation was the esti-
mated reduction of 100000 tons in the
use of fertilizer this year. This figures
about 80 per cent less for all of the
cotton country. Reduction in fertilizer
usually has a material effect on the
yield per acre in the Carolinas, Geor-
gia and Alabama.
Open TO Argument.
Whether the poor crop start may
prove to be stimulating factor in the
face of business conditions and the
large carry-over. however, is open to
argument. A return of warm weather.
now long overdue. and a cessation of
rains undoubtedly will contribute to
market pressure. Even If the Summers
production is not large, it is argued,
consumers realize that no shortage is
probable and hardly would be alarmed
about future supplies.
Some see the improved position of
textile manufacturers. the lightnesS of
stocks in their hands and the small
ness of those in distributive channels
as constructive factors of first impor-
tance.

New York Cotton

NEW YORK, May CP.-A further
advance in cotton at the opening today
was followed by reactions owing to
somewhat more favorable weather pros
poets and the later weakness of the
stock market. July contracts sold of

but stiffened up several points In the

and in response to relatively steady
Liverpool cables. May sold up to 9.98
and December to 1919 on the initial
demand but the buying, which was
mostly in small lots, was supplied by
realizing at these figures. There was
also some Southern and New Orleans
selling and after the opening demand
subsidized, prices worked lower with
offerings increasing as the stock market
turned easier. May declined to 9.85 and
December to 1866. making net losses
of 2 to 5 points on the active months,
but there was final squirt of covering
and closing quotations were to points
up from the lowest on the more active
positions.
A rather more favorable view was
expressed with reference to the weather
news. There were further showers, and
temperatures remained rather cool but
some traders thought that conditions
were improving and the outlook was
said to be for more Seasonable tenn
peratures next week This may have
increased a disposition to take profits
on long cotton or to sell for a reaction
following yesterdays sharp advance.
Liverpool cables said there had been
continental and Bombay buying also

Sales of 10000 bales of cotton of all
growths was reported in the Liverpool

Proratlon Agreement Made

Z
TYLER, Tex, May 9.-Promulgation
of proration of production from wells
in the East Texas oil fields has failed
thus far to restrict the output OF the
new oil area to the limits of 100000
barrels daily recently fixed by the State.
Not only the de,ay incidental to the
application of the mechanism of such
an order, but also its apparent disre-
gard by some operators have combined

high production of $50, 900 barrels daily.
There also appears to be some misun-
Outstanding as to the method to be
adopted at the inception of the cur
tailment movement.
BY the middle of the week the daily
output of the new area had been re-
duced about 100000 barrels daily
Representatives of the. Railroad Com
mission said that further curtailment
to conform with the new orders, would
be gradually applied due to the control
by the commission over rail shipments
Because of the decline occurring grad
ually. the full effects of the restrictions
will net be felt for another week How
ever, mat rial reduction having oc-
cured this week It is expected that the
Nations output, which is being ccm-
piled today, will be greatly lowered.
While the area is in its cory stages
of development, the factor of price for
the production is appearing as con-
sheraton. The lack of a sustained
market in the field. despite the posting
by three major companies of the 67-cent
price for oil of 40 degrees in gravity. is
bringing grave doubts to many of the
operators as to the profitab'eness from
the average operation. The major
companies are undertaking their drill
ing campaign slowly and seeking some
orderly manner in which to develop
their irregular shaped tracts. There is
an effort being made to promote the
"one well to 10 acre PLAN" although
they would rather wish one we'll to 20
acres On many of the properties
there are two wells to five acres.
