Buying for Profit

(This is the eighth Of series of
articles discussing the application of
investment principles to present day
conditions in business and In securi-
ties)
Advice to invest in high-grade securi-
I ties is not helpful without some defini-
ton OF what high-grade security is.
and at the same time such definition
is not easy to give. What is meant OF
course is a security about which there
is no doubt as to the payment of inter
est, IL it is bond, and as to the con-
tinuance of dividend payments if it Is a
stock.
This is a standard Of perfection APP
preached in varying degree, but never
quite reached. nor is there anything
static about the rank Of any specific
bond or stock. The investment rating
Of all securities Is subject to change and
the best that can be hoped for is that
these changes will come so gradually as
to give the holder plenty of time to re-
adjust his program.
Take United States bonds, for ex-
ample; there can be no doubt about the
ability and willingness of the American
Government to meet its obligations, and
yet a decade ago the same would have
been said in Berlin about German Gov
eminent securities. Ut, 10 take SJOCk
now in the first rank, United States
Steel preferred less than IS years ago
was a speculative security.
Probably as good a description as We
can give of a high-grade security is one
that is responsive in market price only
to changes in money rates. If the
United States Treasury reports deficit
for the next fiscal year and it is neces-
sary to increase taxes, or even to in
crease the national debt. that situation
does not have the slightest effect on the
investment rating of United States
Government bonds. If the Steel Cor
poration should report a deficit after
preferred dividends for the first half of
1881, 1t would not affect the market
valuation of the preferred stock.
To take one more example, the pres
ent extreme depression in the railway
business, the failing off off car loadings
and the decreases in gross and net earn
ingS are not reflected In the market
price of such a bond as Atchison gen.
eral As. Any security of this grade
f1uctuates only in response to the pre-
vailing interest rate.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Cotton prices
were 4 to 6 points lower at the opening
of the market today. Ring sentiment
was somewhat improved by the Federal
Farm Boards denial Of reports that it
would dump all of its wheat abroad, but
market opinion veered away from the
theory that any sustained advance in
cotton is likely just now. Professionals
were still on the short side and their
offerings were partially absorbed by
scale down buying by the trade and a
few persistent long traders.
Opening prices were May, 1912, off 6;
July, 1899, off 6; october, 1915, off S;
December, HOO, off 4; January, 1108,

parallels SO that they would be sure
to understand. Notwithstanding the
fact that the Pharisees were seeking
in every way to destroy Jesus, yet
He spoke to them in such a way as
to leave no doubt in reasonable
minds that He was trying to save
them from the self righteous pose
which they occupied, and turn them
from the Mosaic law as a whole to
the new dispensatiOn which gave to
the people, rich or poor alike, a
right to the tree of life.
The parable tells Ofea rich man
and said he was clothed in purple
and fine linen, farming sumptuously
every day. that he had everything
which money could buy. See the
contrast: At this rich mans gate
lay a begger named Lazarus who
was fun of sores. This beggar ex-
pected to be fed crumbs which fell
from the rich mans table. His con
dition was so terrible that the dogs
came and licked his sores.
The proper thing for the rich man
to have done was to have taken or
sent the poor man to some place
where his wounds could have been
attended to and left sufficient cash
to pay his way for the future--this
Dives, the rich man, failed to do,
and lost heaven by his actions.
Death came that way, when both
the rich man and the beggar died.
The beggar was carried by the an
gels to Abraham's bosom, but the
rich man lifted his eyes in Hades,
being in torment.
We might say here that death Of
ten eVens up solGe of the unequal
things that exist in this world and
so in this case, while the rich man
had all the good things while in this
world and the beggar had none, now
their status is changed; now the
rich man cries out from his place
in Hades for Lazarus to come to
him and that he may dip the tip of J
his finger in water and cool my ton |
que for l am in anguish in this |
flame. +G
But Abraham said SoR remem-
ber that thou in thy lifetime re- !
ceivedst they good things; but now
here he (the beggar) is cOmforted, |
and thou art in anguish. ~
Riches are blessing if properly |
used but how often are they applied
to get the worldly things of life and
give nothing to aid those whose lot
in life might be made more pleasant
if we would do as Christ commands
us to do. Riches in some hands are
a detriment to those who possess
them. Some people cannot bear
prosperity, and to people of that
kind, riches are often the means of
not only losing their own soul hut
help in measure to cause others to /
fall by the wayside.
The Golden Text is applicable
when it says: Lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither
moth or rust doth consume, and
where thieves do not break through
or steal Matthew 6:20. Let earthly
riches go but be sure to have in the
treasury of heaven rich supply Of
the good things which we have done
