Again you wonder why Japan de-

swerS that question.
The incidents have been a local
affair, the result of enforcement of
treaty rights. The matter is one
which can be settled best between
the parties concerned and one
which, if taken up internationally,
might give rise to endless complica-
tions.
The fact that there long has been
prejudice abroad resulting in the
acceptance of Chinese claims with
out reserve and regarding those of
Japan with suspicion is another
reason which makes Japan unwill-
ing to trust the solution of the af-
fair to any third party.
There also is the factor of ma
tional sentiment to reckon with.
Would Americans gladly accept
the interference of a third party,
say Japan, in settling a possible dis
pute with any one OF her neighbor-

roe doctrine. Well, suppose Japan
has her own Monroe doctrine? ?

none to outclass the handsome crepe
weaves which are as adaptable for the

The new color vogue which calls

reflected in the handsome bemberg

Oldest School in England

Like all superlative claims there
are those who doubt that the Kings
Grammar school at Canterbury is the
Oldest, but the evidence points out
that it was established in A. d. 631,
by the Bishop Felix. Lovers of
Dickens will recall that he claimed it
to be the Oldest, when he sent David
Copperield there. To Dickens, who
has perhaps given elsewhere pictures
of the worst school in England, the
Kings school was the ideal school:
"a grave building in courtyard with
learned air about it that seemed
very well suited to the stray rocks
and jackdaws who came from the ca
thedral towers to walk with clerkly
bearing on the grass plot"

Ancient Slave Shin

Comparatively sound, despite its
great age, the hull of the only re-
naming slave ship known to have
brought "black ivory" to the coast
of North America lies drawn up on
the beach at st. Croix, Virgin islands.
The vessel, the property of Cornelius
Penthony, bears the name Of the Vigil
ant. She was operated under the Dan
ish flag until slavery was abolished
in the Virgin islands in 1848. Both
before and after that time she was
engaged in the slave trade, landing
slaves Illegally in United States ter

NEW YORK, June 4.-The bond
market continued its improvement to-
day in somewhat more conservative
fashion than was the case Wednesday
afternoon. Gains, especially in the
junior railroad group, were wide, with
some of them extending to points,
but there were no 10-point jumps.
The pace was slower, and some OF the
snap was taken out of the trading in
junior bonds by the hesitation Of the
stock market to continue its advance,
but it was apparent that definitely
better tone had been injected into the
investment market.
Money rates were unchanged, so far
as the official quotation went, but most
90-day loans were placed at the ~
per cent level, and for the first time
in weeks there was a hint Of a stiff
fleming in the money market. However,
high-grade bonds took no cognizance
of it, as there we're small advances In

CUT IN COLOMBIAN OIL
PRODUCTION is PLANNED

BY the Associated Press.
BOGOTA, Colombia, June 4.-Reduc-
ton of approximately Is per cent in the
rate of production of Colombian oil is
seen in the statistics released by the
Tropical Oil Co. on its April activities.
During that month, the Tropical, only
active exploiter in Colombia, produced
1,467,429 barrels of crude oil from its
wells This. compared with the monthly
average of $685. 900 barrels. which was
maintained through the first quarter of
1881, shows reduction Of IL per cent
for the months production.
But the order to reduce production
was not given until the middle of April,
thereby indicating that the monthly
curtailment will be about double what
the April figures show. 1t is understood
that the curtailment order followed an
agreement reached by the parent Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey with other COM
panies in the United States.
OF the April production, ,408, 155 bar
rels CT crude oil were delivered to the
Andian National Corporation for de-
livery to the Mamonai Terminal on
Cartegena Bay, whence Colombian oil
is exported.

Buying for Profit
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

1t Is never safe to buy securities
simply because they offer a high yield.
This is true of both bonds and of
stocks. The rule is the larger the re-
turn the greater the risk. The market
sometimes CvereStimateS the risk, and
again it underestimate it, but it is, in
the case of securities with an active
trading interest, as good a measure of
this risk as we have.
Especially in times o; business de-
preston and falling prices. for securi-
emphasis en- the yield AS this is
written compilation of leading stocks
listed on the New York Stock Ex-
change shows that the oils give the
largest return and the public utilities
the smallest. Next to the oils come
the copper stocks and then the motor
shares and then the Steel issues. At
the other end of the yardstick the
store stocks rank next to the public
utilities in giving the buyer at pre-
vailing prices the lowest yield.
All this mec rs is that in the judg-
ment of the mass of buyers and sellers
there Is the greatest doubt about the
oil stocks maintaining their dividends
and the least doubt about the public
utilities keeping up their rates. The
market opinion as expressed in quota
lions Is not static affair. Prices
fluctuate from day to day as conditions
in the trade concerned or in The out
look for particular company seem
to indicate. Therein lies the posi-
bilities of profit and loss in speculation.
Bonds move over a much smaller
range, but it is even more significant
when a bond sells to give suspicicuSiy
high yield than when "a stock does.
The bond must be paid at maturity
and meanwhile interest must be met
On the coupon date, otherwise bank
ruptcy is confessed. A dividend on a
stock may be emitted and the corpora
ton be perfectly solvent, but there is
no option about the payments to the
bondholdcrs. Weakness in a bond,
therefore, is mere occasion for concern
than it would be in the case of a
stock. In any event, yield on either
stock or bond is no safe indication Of
the desirability of the investment.
