equivalent, after preferred divi-
dends, to SAT- per share of COM
mon stock outstan ing. as
compared with 81, 149,32S in 1899,
equal to S2.55 a common share.
Profit for 1910 was exceeded only

The company has a record of 40
consecutive years of dividend pay
ments on the common stock. The
initial dividend of 1941 has already

Move Benefits
Underwriters
Less Risk With To-Day
Subscription Period in
Stock Offering

NEW YORK, March 15.-The
New York Stock Exchange has
moved to reduce the risk period to
underwriters in cases of new
financing, which includes offerings
of rights to stockholders to SUBJ
scribe for securities being offered.
From now on. as a temporary
the exchanges commit
tee on stock list will permit an
offering which allows only 10 days
in which stockholders can deter
mine whether to subscribe. Here
tofore, this subscription period has
been IA days.
The new practice, the exchange
says, contemplates that the COR
poration making the offering will
set up facilities so that stockhold-
ers will receive their warrants to
subscribe on the day following the
offering. At present, from two to
five days elapSe between the offer
ing announcement and receipt of
warrants.
This move by the exchange is
seen as considerably lessening the
risk of underwriters.
The shorter the duration of the
standby agreement, especially in
periods of unsettled markets, the
less the potential loss may be if
prices decline during the waiting
period.

letrnit Times Financial EdlIor

Detroit Times Financial Editor
While the move of the Bowery
Savings Bank in cutting the rate
on FILA housing loans to a flat a
per cent ranks as a step of major
Importance in the home financing
field. the method of applying the
rate cut was of even greater inter-
est to the writer.
Just as a matter Of record, the
4 per cent rate is actually nothing
new. several Detroit banks. 10 our
knowledge, having given that rate
when borrowers record, property
involved. or length OF payment
justified il.
Far from being a fiat rate slash,
the change instituted by this pro-
cressive New York institution I'M
presses us as being more IN the
nature of an incentive TO pay oil
the old mortgage faster than re-
ouired normally. And as such, we
think the bank deserves even more
credit than for merely reducing
financing costs for home buyers.
The Bowery plan calls for the
liquidation of 25-year mortgages
in % years and 20-year loans in IL
wears. On the former. under the
new rate, a saving of S139.32 a
thousand is made and on the IT,
wear loan the saving amounts to
SOL on each thousand of principal.
But that's not all there is to
the plan. While no greater down
payment is required than previ-
ously. monthly payments during
the first five years on a 25-year
loan are increased by SO cents per
thousand dollars. At the end OF
five years. the extra payments
cease but the per cent interest
continues, and the bank continues
to apply against the principal the
benefit of the Il per cent reduc-
ton which liquidates the loan
three years ahead of time.
The same method applies to the
20-year mortgage except the D.
year extra payment amounts to
only 90 cents per 81, 900 per month.
In variation of this plan, the
Bowery allows new borrowers to
start at the AZ rate and get the
full benefit of the A per cent in
terest by paying, making a lump
sum payment, of the difference
at any time during the 5 years.
While the reduction in itself is
good news to home buyers, from a
civic standpoint we place the trend
toward shorter mortgages in front
position. a.

A new advance in commodities,
many at new highs, attracted more
attention in speculative and in
vestment circles, and proved a
factor marketwise.
An advance of a cent a bushel
in wheat and so cents a bale in
cotton led the way for commodity
markets. Sugar and hides were
the strongest of minor commodi-
ties, with the others firm.
Bonds were quiet and steady.
A modest rally was recorded on
the curb market where some util-
ity preferred shares jumped l to 3

One defect in the old CONNER
cial slogan, "the customer is al
ways right" is an undertone of
insincerity.
Though it is bad business to
argue with the customer, it does
not follow that he is always cor
rect.
Like other mortals, the customer
is human being. and he may at
times be arbitrary, hot tempered,
or even downright cussed.
A more realistic slogan is that
the customer is the boss.
Like other bosses, he is not per-
feet, but the employe who would
succeed knows the Importance OF
pleasing the boss.
1t is a misconception to think of
the chief executive as the ultimate
boss.
