expect no near-term shift in
interest rates. They may remain
low as long as government financ-
/ ing must be carried on in large
volume, or as long as restrictions
are placed upon the expansion Of
business to meet civilian demands
and the money hoard continues to
grow. When the readjustment
comes the investor should not be
tied up In long-term, coupon
bonds. Current yields on better
grade issues have been forced
down too low. Investors looking
for liberal income are, therefore,
buying cumulative preferreds. Such
issues are also in favor with in
vestors skeptical over the gener-
al trend of common stocks; but
the field is very selective. My
usual advice is TO buy only first
mortgage bonds or else common
stocks OF companies with no GU
mulative preferreds.
Taxes
There may be a small increase
in 1914 taxes. This increase will
hurt only few industries through
increased excise taxes. Income
taxes, inheritance taxes. gift tax
es, and probably corporation tax
es will remain about where they
are or lowered. Furthermore, l94i
may be the last year OF tax mis-
cry. Taxes should begin 10 de
cline in 1915. Investors should
especially keep in mind that
when excess profit taxes are
eliminsted-many corporations can
make more money and pay more
dividends with much smaller gross
earnings.

Outlook For Labor
ed and unskilled workers can be

600 workers must be added TO es-
sential plants in the next few
months. However, over 1000, 900
men and women reach age IS
every twelve months. Therefore.
the labor situation may begin to
ease. There will be many disputes
but most upsets will be OF short
duration and small scope. Labor
leaders must threaten strikes for
publicity and TO hold jobs. The
cost-of-living situation will dictate
the rise and fall OF strikes. II
rolling back prices is successful,
pressure for higher wages will
be considerably reduced. After
Germany cracks. there will be no

moon is approaching its end,
There will be no railroad strike in

Stack Market
The 1874, long-term trend OF
stock prices is definitely upward.
A growing hoard OF money seeks
investment. Few new stocks are
available. Present holders are
less willing to let stocks go, ex-
cept at higher prices. The rise
from May, 1912 to July. 1913. was
long, unbroken advance. A per
iod OF consolidation, such as from
July IA to date, was in order. The
next few months may still be
marked by irregularity. This
should not disturb real investors.
Corporations are adjusted to war
time operations. Any material
change in the war situation may
create temporarily upsetting un
certainties. On the bullish side
the market strengthened in the
face of the largest War Bond Drive
in our history.
Most listed companies are strong

Companies doing we'll in war work
