ton with the progress made IN

BONDS ARE HIGHER
IN ACTIVE MARKET
French Reply to Hoover Debt
Plan Is FavorabIy
Received.
By r. H. RICHARDSON.
,cial Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, June 24-Bonds ADJ
vanced in an active market to0ay.
The investment market was favora-
bly, impressed by Frances reply to
President Hoover's debt-suspension
plan. While it was expected that
France would seek some reservations,
the fact that the only important res
ervation is that the unconditional an
nuities be paid to the International
Settlements Bank and loaned back to
Germany was regarded as a good sign.
And, though fears were expressed In
London over what the French Parlia-
ment might do with the plan Friday,
there was better tone after the news
had been digested. Belief was general
that the French Deputies probably
would bow to the popular approval the
plan has received in France, as evi-
denced by strength on the Paris Bourse
today.
The news gave fillip to all foreign
markets, especially London and Berlin,
and this was Immediately reflected on
the opening in New York on all Sc
curity markets and to some extent en-
commodity exchanges.
Accompanying booming stock mar
ket, not only foreign dollar bonds, but
the entire domestic list CT secondary
issues, was pushed higher. Tuesdays
declines in United States Govern
ments, municipals and low-yield cor
porate issues were continued as better
yields were sought in the junior groups.
This evidence of switching is of more
important dimensions in the current
recovery than in any other rising bond
market since October. 1929. Atchison
general As, American Telephone SIS.
Duquesne Light 41as, Great Northern
Is and many similar issues that show
a yield only to $50 per cent moved
fractionally lower.
The funds thus obtained were turned
into junior bonds such as Baltimore &
Ohio AIS, ST. Paul Adjustments. st.
Paul SIS, Erie IS, International Hydro
Electric 6s. International Telephone
AIS, Missouri-Pacific IS and General
As, Nickel Plate 5les, Shell Union Oil
SIS and Vanadium SIS, all of which were
at their best prices for the current
movement Many junior bonds have
now regained major part of their
losses from the peak prices of the year.

Buying for Profit

Unearned dividends may be paid out
Of surplus only when there is sufficient
surplus in available form, that is to
say in cash or in items that may be
quickly turned into cash. DIVIDENDS
may never be legally paid when the
payment would impair capital. Corpo-
rations with large liquid resources have
been known to revamp their capital
structure in order that they might be
able to diSburSe a part of their cash 10
their stockholders. Even if there Is
enough cash to pay dividends, con-
servative board of directors will not
allow declarations to be made if they
would impair the working capital po-
sition.
Companies vary in their need of a
large working capital. When the busl-
ness allows of a quick turnover, with
no large amount tied up in inventory
and with a moderate amount Of bills
receivable, it is unnecessary to maintain
so large a cash balance. Ordinarily,
public utility companies and railroads
can operate with a moderate amount
of cash, but, on the other hand, an
automobile manufacturer must have
large liquid resources. Sugar producers
doing a seasonal business and having
to advance moneys to planters must
have an abundant supply of cash. All
of these factors are to be taken into
account when the investor is estimating
the probabilities of corporation con-
tinuing a dividend rate in times OF
depression.
The rule nowadays is to look with
suspicion on an increase in the inven-
tory item. That is because commodity
prices have been declining so persistent
ly If the company has bought in ad-
vance the materials it uses. it may find
itself with large inventory loss to be
written OF. That has happened in the
oil trade many times of late. But II
commodity prices advance, there Is an
advantage in a large inventory. pro-
vided it was accumulated before the ad-
vance began. For example, a baking
company thai fought its -four six
months ago fines itself now with raw
materials on hend at price above the
market That situation would be re-
versed If there should be an advance
in wheat and In -four.
The managing heads of certain corpo-
rationS have a reputation among the
followers of commodity markets for
picking the right time to buy their sup
plies, and when these buyers enter the
market, 1t Is taken as a favorable sign
for that commodity So, when analyZ-
ing a balance sheet with view to
determining the probability of continu-
ance Of dividends, it is vital to gather
all the available information about the
relation Of the cost of the items that
make up the inventory to the current
market.
