Buying for Profit
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

CThis is the fourth Of q series of
articles discussing the application of in
vestment PRINCIPLES to present.day condi-
tions in business and in securittes.)
1t is not so difficult to select the
leading unit in any one industry as 1t
is to pick the industry itself when it is
desired to buy for long term invest
ment a diversified list of common
stocks. For example, in iron and steel
the admitted leader is U. s. Steel and
in the automobile trade 1t is General
Motors. 1t is understood, of course, that
speculative possibilities may be much
greater in one of the smaller corpor-
ations. The market price of the shares
of the leaders Is never debated as dras-
tically in a depression as is that of the
lesser concerns and conversely in periods
of rising quotations for stocks the larg-
est advance is made by the latter group.
1t Is investment, however, and not
speculation that we are concerned with
here and the risk is less when the bet
ter known stocks are taken. It Is
recognized also that there is a con-
tinuous shifting in the relative rank Of
corporations within an industry. The
best that can be done is to operate on
the basis of conditions as they exist at
the time the commitment Is made, be-
ing prepared to revise the choice when
the situation demands it. The funda-
mental never to be ignored is that there
is nothing static in industry or in in
vestment AS far as possible 1t is de-
sirable to take stocks representative of
trades with an expanding outlook.
Otherwise we lose the advantage we are
seeking when we buy common stocks
instead of bonds.
1t is this consideration which has lead
so many investors to hesitate about tax
ing railroad shares on the grounds that
the railroads have no prospects of ex-
pansion and it is the same conviction
that leads so many to buy equities In
electrical manufacturing companies re-
gardless of the relatively high market
price those stocks command.

Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 15.-After open
ing lower, prices on the Curb Exchange
today firmed and then receded again
around midday. The market, however,
showed little uniformity in group
trends, specific news frequently causing
activity and fluctuations in individual
issues Of classifications that Jagged.
In the public utility list Electric
Bond & Share got down about a point.
American & Foreign Power warrants
most Of the time showed loss Of more
than q point, while American Super
power was of about half that amount.
Cities Service, which was ex-dividend,
was little changed and comparatively
dull
Payment of an extra dividend of IS
on Pittsburgh e. Lake Erie was greeted
with an immediate rise CT Az points
in that ISSUE Boston & Albany Rail-
road ran up 3la points to new high
for the year. These moves failed to
influence rail holding companies or rail
investment trusts.
Amusement and radios were among
the first of the miscellaneous groups to
react. Fox Theaters A broke to new
low for the year. General TheaterS
preferred behaved similarly. De Forest
was the first of the radios to meet q
setback. Pilot Radio & Tube, Arcturus
Radio, both of which reported poor
earnings for 1880; Gable Radio & Tube,
and other radio makers reacted.
Northwestern Yeast, after its recent
spectacular squirt, encountered some
profit-taking. Aluminium Co. CT Amer
lea continued its usual wide swings.
Safety Car Heating & Lighting receded
from its record high price. Swift Inter-
national was feature of the packing
list, down 116 points. Afterward the
dairy issues softened under the leader
ship Of United States Dairy A, of more
than 2 points. In the food specialties
Mead-JohnSon met realizing.
Pipe lines were highly irregular. Eu-
reka and National Transit receded as
New York Transit rose. Dresser Manu-

Wheeler Electrical was inclined to

Grain Market

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 15-Big export
business in North American wheat and
renewal Of dust storms in Spring wheat
territory led to material fresh upturns
In grain prices today. Unexpected
advances in Liverpool wheat quotations
were also bulliSh factor, together with
word that French millerS had been
granted permission to increase use OF
foreign wheat 5 per cent.
Opening unchanged to "a higher
wheat afterward continued firm. Corn
started unchanged to % up and SUBJ
sequently rose all around.
Wheat advances took place in the
face of securities weakness. Estimates
however, that more than 2,000, 600 BUSH
els of Canadian wheat had been taken
overnight for transatlantic shipment
served at least temporarily to prevent
any but fractional setbacks from wheat
advances. Tending also to uphold wheat
price gains were Nebraska reports that
Hessian fly danger existed throughout
the southeast quarter Of the State.
Predictions that German import re-
strictionS on wheat would me modified
helped to encourage wheat bulls. There
were also advices of active Oriental de-
mand for Australian wheat. Sharp up
turns in Argentine quotations were a
further source of inspiration to buyers.
Corn and oats sympathized with wheat
strength.
Provisions were easy in the absence
Of any aggressive buying.
