Buying a Bond
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Continuing our discussion of the
qualifications laid down in the New
York State law affecting Government
securities legal for savings banks, it is
only bonds of public utility companies
incorporated and doing business in the
United States which are admissible.
The reason for this limitation has
been made very evident by events in the
last few months. AS far as the neces-
sary character of the service rendered
is concerned a public utility supplying
gas, electric or telephone service is the
same in Europe or in South America as
IL is in the United States. 1t is financial
institutions located in New York. how
ever, to which the law applies, and these
institutions are obligated to pay their
depositors in United States money.
A public utility operating outside the
territorial limits of the United States,
say even in Canada, where the field is
probably Just as remunerative as 1t Is
on this side the border, would neverthe-
less collect its income in Canadian
funds, and in the event of a discount on
Canadian currency would not offer as
desirable an investment opportunity.
An exception might be made in the case
of bonds of Canadian companies the in
terest on which is payable in American
or in Canadian currency at the option OF
the holder. although the law does not
give banks that choice. But with public
utilities operating in Europe or in the
continent to the south the disadvantage
in the matter of currency used became
glaringly plain when Great Britain sus-
pended gold payments and sterling ex-
change declined SO sharply from its par
value
OF course, 1t is conceivable that the
shoe might be on the other foot-that is,
that the American dollar might some
day be at discount, improbable as that
now seems-but all this introduces a
speculative element into what is meant
to be as near pure investment as pos
sible. Probably the individual investor
for some time to come will do well to re-
strict his commitments along the same
lines as the savings banks are compelled
by law to restrict theirs.
This is not to say that speculation in
the obligations of foreign utilities may
not often be profitable. but simply that
1t does not look that way now.

VALUE OF EXPORTS REDUCED
BY NUMEROUS CUTS IN PRICES
Commerce Department Survey Reveals
Cause for Drop in Dollar Return
on Goods Shipped Abroad.

cry, gasoline and agricultural imple
ments showed declines in value rang
ing from 35 per cent to "A.
Other Exports.
Exports of electrical apparatus, IN
dustrial machinery, tobacco manufac-
lures, cotton manufactures and photo
graphic goods decreased in value from
% to % per cent, while the value Of
chemicals and related products fell off
on Is per cent. Miss Witherow said
these declines in value were result of
reduction both in physical volume and
in prices.
Within the machinery groups, the
report added, the quantity of this coun-
tors and radio receiving sets and the
value of Woodworking machinery
showed an increase.
Declines in quantity Of leading individ-
ual semimanufactured articles were as
follows: Gas and fuel oil, II per cent;
lumber and timber, "a per cent, heavy
iron and steel, As per cent. and copper
80 per cent. For each of these articles
the decline in value was reported con-
siderably greater.
A substantial part Of the AZ per
cent decrease in value of crude material
exports was also due to the lower
level of prices. Quantity exports of
manufactured cotton fell off 20 per
cent; those of manufactured tobacco
dropped 81 per cent, and coal and
coke decreased "a per cent.
Fruit Exports Gain.
The reduction of AZ per cent in
crude food exports and of 80 per cent
in manufactured foods was due in
part to the reduction in prices &C
cording to Miss Witherow, and in part
to smaller shipments of grain, flour,
meat products and animal fats Exports
of both fresh and prepared fruits in
creased considerably. the report showed.
In comparison with the third quar-
ter of 1880, the respective changes in
quantity of leading individual import
commodities for the third quarter in
1881 varied widely from the decreases
In value.
Imports Of manufactured foodstuffs,
which are dominated by sugar, increased
per cent In value. Cane sugar i'm
ports amounting to 2,071 ZOO. 900 pounds,
showed gain of nearly 40 per cent
in both quantity and value, but the
value of imports of meat products,

Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 16.-Unex-
pected sharp upturns in Liverpool wheat
quotations gave a decided early hoist
to all grains today. Adverse crop re-
ports from Argentina were a bullish in
fiuence together with relative meager-
ness of supplies of wheat afloat for
importing countries.
Opening 12H cents up, wheat after
ward rose further. Corn started at
as-1as gain and subsequently held
firm.
In addition to crop damage from Ar
gentina, totaling in some districts 10
to SO per cent, there were also esti-
mates indicating 100000 bushels cur
tailment of wheat production in Aus
tralia. A large wheat trade was re-
ported between Australia and the Orient
Liberal export business in North Amer
lean wheat over the week end was also
announced.
Warlike developments in Manchuria
acted as further stimulus to buyers of
wheat futures, and notice was taken Of
authoritative statements showing the
Japanese rice crop 62,000,000 bushels
short of last year and China's rice crop
also diminished. 1t was further as
serted that in three months of this sea-
son Japan and China had imported 70
per cent more wheat than in the cor
responding months of last season. Dur
China imported about 67,000,O00 bushels
of wheat Corn and oats were respon-
sive to wheat strength and to rainy
weather in the corn belt.
Provisions derived steadiness from
upturns of cereals.

ECONOMY IN STEEL
TRADE'CUTS COSTS
Industry Has Passed Through
LeaneSt Nine Months
in Its History.
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 10
After nine of the leanest months in
the history of steel. during which
profits averaged 87/100 of / per cent
and production Al per cent, the indus
try is in fighting trim in the matter of
costs, says the magazine Steel this
week.
Not even the most sanguine steel
executives entertain any illusions of a
genuinely profitable era Immediately
at hand. the magazine says, but, with
the application of lower wage rates
and other economies, it is estimated
that when the industry crosses the line
of As to so per cent capacity produc-
ton 1t will again make money.
Profits vanished for the industry as
whole somewhere near the turn of
the last quarter of 1880, when produc-
ton ranged between so and So per
cent. But profits now are believed
possible at As per cent.
Five Firms Report Earnings.
Last week the operating rate COM
piled by Steel was 81 per cent. It has
not been so high as As per cent since
the second week in May.
OF eight leading steel producers
representing 100000 of the 66.000,-
900 tons of steel-making capacity in
the country, only five returned any
thing on capitalization of $3,837, 376,-
900 in the first three quarters of 1881.
On this capitalization the eight earned
$33, 1865, 495 in nine months this year.
as compared with $178,779,824 in all
1880.
National Steel leads all producers
for the first three quarters of 1881
with an estimated earning of 80 per
cent, Inland is second with 1.55, Beth
lehem third with LII, United States
Steel fourth with 1.01 and Youngstown
fifth with 81. Republic. Jones &
reported deficits.
Indications are that there will be
another fractional gain in operations
this week, the magazine says.
The increase in production has been
made without substantial assistance
from the automotive industry delay
by Ford and Chevrolet in pushing new
models causing other manufacturers
to hesitate. The gain, despite lack of
such assistance isis has convinced pro
ton established at a higher rate.
Fresh structural steel inquiry and
Immediately pending work total $4,000
tons. Rail orders are extremely slow.
Large Pipe Award.
Pipe is featured by one of the larg-
est awards in months, 23,700 tons of
20-inch seamless for a 100-mile line
to be rolled at Lorain, Ohio, for an
unnamed interest. A Standard on
subsidiary is maturing plans for q
700-mile 10-inch line from Oklahoma
to Woods River, ILL.,, to take $4,000
tons.
The composite price of finished steel
holds at $48.22, though concessions are
being offered on bolts and nuts; shapes
and plates are softer in the East, and
prices of structural shapes and REIN
forcing bars are being shaded drasti-
cally in some instances.
The steel works scrap composite re-
mains $8.25 and the iron and steel
composite also is steady at $306S.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, November 16.-Stock
market commentators today expressed
mixed opinions of the current position,
but the consensus was that technical
influences were holding the trend and
that meanwhile fundamental improve
ment had taken place.
E. F. Hutton & Co.-The week opens
with the market in far less vulnerable
position than was the case last Monday.
The market Is so we'll liquidated that
the pressure of additional offerings
should be relatively light. While irregu-
larity In stocks may continue a little
longer, we think this Is the time to
study the quotation page for attrac-
tive buying points.
Paine Weber g. Co.-But for the
possible poor action of rails, industrials
are technically entitled to meet support
at close by levels and rally for trading
turn.
Redmond & Co.-The action of the
rails Is very disappointing, and the av-
erage is now sufficiently close to the
october low to indicate an early testing
out Of that level.
Shields & Co.-The market still ap-
pears to be a day-to-day trading at
fair with price swings influenced by
immediate news happenings. Techni-
cal considerations rather than outside
factors may for the time being continue
to influence the direction of the Mar
ket However. we continue to feel that
the present time represents a favorable
opportunity to accumulate issues on
an earnings and yield basis appear at
tractive for holding in anticipatin Of
more tangible evidence of improving
conditions than are apparent now and
which We confidently feel are taking
place.
