CURB SHARES SAG
At SHORT SESSION
Utilities, in Irregular Trend,
Again Feature Market.
Oils Weak.
BY JOHN A. UNOAU.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 18.--Weakness in
oil shares and the comparative firm
ness of public utilities were the out
standing features of an irregular and
slowly declining Curb Exchange session
today
The market marshal, Electric Bond
&, Share, opened unchanged but later
gained fractionally. Then followed some
slight improvement in United Light &
Power A and American Superpower, but
American & Foreign Power warrants
eased. Cities Service again got below
the II level, but trading in this issue
was purely Of a professional character
Standard Oils, led by Standard Oil
of Kentucky and Vacuum. were the
first in the petroleum division to weak
en-. Humble Oil had no trouble going
through It's previous minimum mark.
South Penn Oil and Imperial OIL of
Canada later joined the list of new
1881 lows. Gulf Oil was the first of
the miscellaneous petroleums to estab-
lish a new low for the year. Colon Oil
then receded. followed by Richfield Oil
preferred. Plymouth OIL was active
and opened unchanged.
Indiana Pipe Line opened at its pre-
vious low as it showed March deliveries
down 68.5 per cent and deliveries in the
first three months down 62.8 per cent
from the same period of last year.
Southwest Pennsylvania Pipe Lines
opened down more than 3 points. New
York Transit got below its previous bot
tom mark.
Lone Star Gas scored a fractional
overnight gain as a result of its March
earnings, which were said to be $780,
600 above the corresponding month of
1880. Saxet Co. encountered some SELL
ing, perhaps invited by its recent mark
up following the change Of manage
ment.
Cord Corporation, with a decline of a
point, was the weakest CT the motors in
the first hour. though the fractional
drop OF Ford Motor. Ltd, carried 1t to
. new low level for the year.

(ThiS is the sixth Of a series Of articles
principIes to to' present-dSS Conditions in
business ana In securlties)
Thus far in our preliminary survey
OF investment conditions as they exist
today we have arrived at the conclu-
sion that portion of ones funds should
be placed in the highest grade Of fixed
return securities, that is to say bonds or
the best of preferred stocks, and that
a proportion should be given up to a
diversified list of common stocks with
the idea of profting from appreciation
in market price. All this has been with
no consideration of the vitality important
matter of return.
It is to be presumed that the investor
needs income. Now on the highest grade
of securities he will be able to obtain
only from AZ to per cent and the
yield on the stocks varies over wide
range. 1t is less than 5 per cent on
United States Steel and less than per
cent on General Electric to take only
two examples. That might be enough
for some, but too little for others. To
meet this need 1t is necessary TO select
from an entirely different class OF in
vestments. One solution would be to
take the electric light and power pre-
ferred stocks, preferably the unlisted
issues, many Of which sell to yield from
So to 6 per cent, partly becasue they
have not an active market and partly
because they are redeemable at or
around the market price. There is no
speculative appeal to an investment Of
this kind, but it does give a generous
return with q higher degree of safety.
Some times good bonds can be OBJ
tanned with the same qualities relatively
poor marketability and little or no
possibility OF price appreciation, but
with an attractive yield and good earn
ing protection. In any event, this phase
OF the problem must be solved before we
shall have satisfactory set-up for our
investment list.
