Brokers' Comments

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September IL
Most commission house commentators
sounded note of caution today in
their stock market advices.
CasSatt & Co.-For the time being
the trend continues downward SUBJ
ject to intermittent technical recov-
cries.
jerks, Gwynne & Co.-For the
moment the market does not give in
dications of doing better than making
a moderate rally.
Hornblower & Weeks-With the
present line of least resistance still
pointing downward, we see no rea-
son for altering our previous advices
with respect to strengthening and con-
serving purchasing power.
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Co-While
continuing our recent cautionary ad-
vices, we believe that the markets
technical position has gained sufficient
strength to warrant rally in the
very near future.
Theodore Prince g. Cove can
only recommend that long-term posi-
tionS be maintained with the thought
that they may be added to at some
future date and that from a short
term standpoint, the market be left
alone.

IMITATION FACTOR
IN NBONDS DOUBTED
High Grade CorporateS Fail
to Follow U. S. Issues
on Downturn.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
more costly conditions which the
United States Treasury finds prevail
ing in the bond market, judging from
the action of the market as a whole.
seem primarily to be an outgrowth of
increased requirements rather than
any widespread revival of imitation
worries.
This is indicated by the fact that
h1gh-grade corporate issues have
failed to follow United States Govern
ments in their decline since mid-July.
An inf1ationary movement would be
as adverse to holders of high-grade
fixed income obligations of corpora
tions as to the fixed income obliga-
tions of the Government. But there
has been no selling movement in the
gilt-edged corporate issues comparable
to that in the Treasury obligations.
For instance, Moody's averages
show that eight long-term Govern
ment issues reached an average yield
OF 2.72 per cent, a record barely
equaled in the postwar period, On
July 20, last. AS of September 7, this
had risen to 800 per cent. But the
average yield of 80 triple A., corpo-
rate bonds on July 20 was 1856 per
cent, and on September 7 had ad-
vanced only to 3.93 per cent. The
Treasury's long-term bond issue, an
nounced yesterday, bears coupon

Advertising Curb
In Securities Act
Called Harmful
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BUFFALO, September 11.-Declar'
ing that amendments to the securitie;
act are greatly needed. BENJAMIN F
Castle, vice president of the Admins
trative & Research Corp, in address
| ing the Financial Advertisers Asso-
citation here today, said:
You are not reading advertising
copy today relative to any type of Sc
curity. All you see is the name OF
the security and where prospectus
may be procured This is the prac-
tical effect of the securities act. From
my point of view, this is harmful to
the general run of investors. II
effectually prevents them from learn
ing of sound securities offered by rep
utable firms in good standing. In
other words, the stage is set for the
gyp salesman offering a worthless
stock.
Have you ever perused prospectus
prepared in conformity with the Sc
curities act? I hold one here. It has
20 pages of closely typed reading mat
ter. The financial statements and
schedules alone cover six pages. You
know and I know that the average
investor not only will not read this
but he would not understand it if he
did read it. Does not this cause us
to propose the question:
why should not honest securities
be honestly advertised in any manner
compatible with truth and the in
genuity of advertising counsel? Gen
tlemen, the problem is one with which
you are admirably equipped to deal.
Your united influence, your advice and
counsel at Washington will, I believe
I can safely say, be welcome. If you
can bring about amendments to the
securities act in the sense indicated
you will be serving American in
vestors."

rate of 314 per cent. while the June
issue was eagerly bought at only 3
per cent.
Most bond market analysts feel that
imitation fears, possibly arising in part
from the silver naturalization on Au-
gust 9. may have played a part in the
sag in U. S. Government bonds. But
any worries in the minds of investors
over possible further depreciation of
the currency did not prompt them to
do much selling of other high-grsde
bonds, so it would not appear that
any general imitation score had been
set in motion.
The fact that corporations have
not been issuing bonds to any extent
for a couple of years, while Treasury
obligations have poured out in such
volume that they constitute more
than so per cent of the investments
of the banks. makes the supply factor
radically different in the case of the
private obligations, as against the
Government loans.

Ethe fact that he is one of the very
Elongest hitters in the game OF golf
js known to few of the players who
have come into the game since he
left the Capital in 1927.
Since that time he has made frequent
visits here, but has played comparative

game under Fred Me- cod at Columbia,
and amazed the golfers of two coun-
tries with the length of his wallops
from the tee, is the sound playing pro-
1essional of today and Just as long from

Once Held Course Record.

fFA ROUND Washington some OF his
VA stunts have become legendary, and
indeed, for a short time Roland
held the amateur record for the course
lover which he will preside as club pro-
hessional beginning in March. Back
ln 1925. Roland set course record OF
f2 for the Congressional layout, against
Ia par of 73. That record stood for a
wear, although it was unofficial.
At that time, the heyday Of the
Eareer as an amateur that placed him
among the first half-dozen simon pures
in this country. and won him place
son three Walker Cup team 5, Roland
was the slugger supreme, achieving ex-
Ceptional carries and tremendous dis
,fance by the sheer power he packed in
the head of his deep-faced driver.
Today he is more subdued hitter,
a man who has learned that they do
mot always pay of on the tee shot. but
lone who can when he wishes. knock a
tgoh ball as far as any gent who stalks
fhe fairways.
Over at Washington one day We saw
Roland hit one from the back tee at
tthe seventh hole which ended on the
jSlope leading up TO the green. The
sjhole measures 434 yards and the ball
4nust have gone 400 yards. OF course
sthere was a big wind behind the shot,
sbut even so the distance covered was
tremendous.

In Glass by Himself.

EAs A BIG hitter of golf balls, Roland
I "A reigned supreme in the days
; when he played as an amateur
around washington, even though such
, lads as blond Jimmie Davis Of Colurn-
! bia. and Dixie Davis of Chevy Chase
could wallop the ball a long way. In
deed Dixie was the longest hitter we
, ever have seen, amateur or pro, but he
! didn't hit em as often nor as straight
as Roland
One Of his jaunts to England as a
Walker cup team member, Roland
amazed the British with the length OF
! his tee shots. That care-free slash at
the ball may have been the main rea-
son he did not win the amateur cham
, pionship, for as a kid he had habit
, OF under clubbing himself, relying on
the full power of the club to get home.
And he hit the ball so well and so far
that he got away with. it.
But with the years and the expert
ence that comes with them, Roland has
learned to play longer club for a
shorter distance, knowing that every
shot cannot be hit perfectly. Never
theless the Roland Mackenzie of to-
day has lost none of his power and
distance he had 10 years ago. By any
standard Of comparison he still rates
today as one of the power hitters OF
golf. He is more subdued hitter,
plays well within his capabilities, but
one who still can lash out at golf
ball and ride it as far as any man.
Congressional is due for some sur
prises next Summer when this tall
yolIngster really cuts loose at the un-
protesting sphere.
