Furthermore. while prices have

dian stocks remain at their pre-
vailing low prices, slide of further,
OF is there a rise ahead? These
are questions In which readers are
interested. Let us look at the rec
ord.
BerlIn-London-New York
Following the start OF World War
II in September, 1899, German
stock prices reacted only a trifle
the next month and ever since
then have been climbing to new
highs. or course, the Berlin mar
ket is controlled. II is not the type

stocks also moved steadily upward

a nose-dive, reaching their low in
the early summer OF 1910. Since
then. London prices have risen
more than New York prices.
At the beginning OF the war, tho
indices OF New York and Berlin
stock prices were the same, name
ly. s3. New York prices rose
above those OF Berlin for a month,
then reacted and continued for six
months a sidewise movement. In
April, 1910, month after the de-
cline started in London, American
stock prices fell sharply, showing
a drop from a high OF 95lz in Oc-
tobsr, 1889, to a low OF 1871 in
June, 1910. In the same period
OF time, London prices dropped
from 70 TO SAN, thus showing no.
where near the collapse experience

York prices rose from a low of

prices started up a month later.
However. in November New York
prices again declined until now
they stand at rs compared with 20
when the war started.
U. S. Investors Should Cheer-Pp
While New York prices have
been declining, London prices have
held up much better. Since the
war started, there has been a net
loss in London prices OF less than
five per cent whereas the net loss
in New York prices has been more
than is per cent. over the same
period. the rise In Berlin prices
has shown an extraordinary gain
OF over 35 per cent. This rise n
German securities, while admitted
ly in a controlled market, should
encourage American investors.
Certainly. II controls are put into
effect here to eliminate the dang

even more stringent SEC regulA-

strates that controls need not

things the SEC has accomplished
has been the stlffening OF margin

elimination Of stock market mani

Are Equities Being Lost?
II any equities are in danger OF
being wiped out, they are indiyi'
dual equities and not the equities
of corporations. Too many bust
nessmen are worrying today about
stock prices, failing to study the
real values which these stocks rep
resent. For example, General Elec-
trio remains as great and efficient
an organization and has the same
amount OF property and equipment
whether its shares are selling for
IL or for 20. No form OF equity is
wiped out OF corporation by a
slump in the price of its shares.
However, individual equities most
certainly can be wiped out when
one trades on margin, whether buy
