Persistent Selling Again

NEW YORK, April 25.-Persistent

How much Of the days weakness was
an aftermath of the Pynchon d Co.

considerations it was hard to determine.
The market had more unfavorable de-
velopments in the way OF earnings
statements to appraise. One OF these
was the first quarterly report OF the
Chrysler Corporation showing net loss
of $979,e27, against profit OF $l8O,7l7
a year ago. ChrySler was moderately
lower and General Motors held we'll
most of the time, possibly in response
to the prediction of John j. RaSkob
that earnings for the first half of the
year would exceed dividend require
ments by 20 per cent.
Oils and rubbers were acutely weak.
Goodyear was the chief sufferer in the
latter group, dropping points to new

articles discussing the application Of m
ditions in business ana in securitiesi.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
In the search for adequate income
there will always be q few investors
holder than the average who will in
vesttgate the field Of foreign bonds.
Just now foreign obligations, Govern
ment or corporate, are under cloud.
America has had one revolution after
another, one Of its countries has de-
faulted on certain of its issues and
another Is said to be on the verge of
defaulting, while all Of them are suf-
fertng from the drastic declines in the
price Of raw materials and of food
stuffs. The result is that many of
these South American bonds sell to
yield fantastic returns.
The outlook In Europe from q politi-
cal standpoint Is extremely confused
Here, however, there are Government
bonds, which have maintained price
stability. French bonds have held up
In market price, rejecting the ex-
tremely strong financial situation in
France. In Asia the japanese bonds
have not declined, although the situa-
ton In that country economically
leaves much to be desired. or course
the British Government obligations are
always sound investments. Up to a
very recent time the same would have
been said about the bonds of any COM
ponent part Of the British Empire. but
Australia, through its constituted
spokesman, has frightened investors
away.
The moral Of all this is that indi-
vidual foreign issue must be examined
on its merits and the highest discrimi-
nation used In making a selection If
investment be the purpose As far as
speculation goes, there is always chance
OF recovery in any security which has
been so severely Debated as have many
Of these foreign bonds.
Eventually there will be recovery as
worldwide as the depression now pre-
vailing and when that time comes some
OF these foreign issues will prove to
have been on the bargain counter.
Buyers now. however, must assume the
risk.
