NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
If, THROUGH SOME c~lairvoyant powe,

IF, THROUGH SOME clairvoyant power (which of
we do not have) the innermost workings Of the good
overnor's mind could be unravelled, this Is perhaps the
nd Of resolution, at least in substance, which might come
rth:
/. To continue working increasingly for the general
welfare Of the people Of these Islands.
2. To give active assistance to any effort for the revi-
sion Of the New Organic Act, at least with respect
to those portions which are most controversial, the
revision or elimination Of which would make for a
fuller measure Of true sef-government for these
Islands.
8. TO make further effort to give worthy and qualified
natives a larger share In the government Of their
home.
a TO complete, with reasonable dispatch, the reorgani-
cation Of the governmental structure 50 that progress
may Be made.
81 70 seek further means Of cooperating with the legis-
lature, and Of winning their support 50 that the
maximum effectiveness may result in programs be-
tween the executive and legislative branches Of the
government.
8. To explore further methods Of improving the econo-
mic condition Of these Islands, through tourisrn, In
dustrN agriculture and whatever other possibilities
might present themselves.
I. To work for development Of an adequate water sup
ply for these Islands,
s. Finally, to be constantly alert to the possibilities for
DEVELOPMENT in the several areas Of human endeavor
touching and affecting the lives Of the people Of
these Islands, with a resultant Improvement IN the
very way Of life Of our people.

NEW YORK, Aug. % R.-
Rising yields on corporate and
Government bonds are bringing
them today within kissing dis
lance of the returns on some OF
the blue chip stocks.
Some investors, therefore, are
finding the bond market more
attractive these days than the
stock market.
Industrial and utility firms
floating bond issues recently have
had to raise the interest rate
they will pay to 4 per cent--the
first time in years they have had
to go so high. Other companies,
baking at these rates, have
turned to the commercial banks
for loans. thus further Tightening
the money market and bolsterine
interest charges.
The yield on marketable Gov
securities has been
rising, too. although not as fast
as on the top grade corporate
issues.
Stock Yields Shrinking
Yields on stocks, on the other
hand, have been shrinking in
recent weeks. Bond dealers say

Rising Yields on Bonds
To Attroct Investors

The spread between the average
Weld on stocks and the bond
average is now down to 33/l00 of
| per cent.
Yield is the measure of the re.
turn in dividends or interest on
the money paid for a stock or a
bond. The, yield on many COM
mon stocks has fallen because
the price has risen faster than
the dividend rate. The yield on
bonds has been rising because
the price of bonds has fallen
below par value, while the in
terest payment remains fixed.
Brokers say that one reason
the price of Government securi-
ties has been sliding in recent
weeks is that the banks have
been selling their holdings to
get funds to lend to business
at interest rates considerably
higher than bonds pay. Now
the price of marketable Govern
ment securities has slipped far
enough below par to make banks
hesitate to sell their securities
at a loss-another little twist to
the tight money screw.
Savings Bonds Sales Din
United States Savings Bonds
aren't affected by the weakness
in the bond market directly.
They cannot be marketed, their
redemption price is fixed and so
is their yield. But as the yield
rises on other Government Sc.
curitieS, on corporate bonds and
other forms of investment, the
savings bonds look less attrac.
tive. And sales of the H bond
favored by the larger investors
have declined.

TRADE
WINDS
BY LOU SCHNEIDER

Despite reports to the con-
trary administration officials are
disturbed by the steady climb all
along the price front.
This much is certain: While
administration advisers aren't
worried about the immediate
effect. they fear an infiationary
impact after the November elec-
tons. The view is that price
increases will fan out into all
industries early in 1857.
AS is, there have been in
creaSes on numerous items. In
got steel is already up $3.50 a ton
and more is due with January
deliveries. Television black-and-
white sets are 10 per cent higher
and so are refrigerators, electric
ranges and other household ap-
planes. The same is true of
metal drums, shovels and beds.
Prices to Spread
The Federal Reserve Board
admits that prices of industrial
commodities are advancing. 1t
goes without saying these will
spread into finished consumer
goods. Not only are all kinds
of rubber shoe soles and heels
higher, but so are the leather
and rubber industrial belts.
The cost of sleeping mattresses
are higher, and so is beer-the
poor mans drink. The same
goes for the price of brooms-
though that industry says it is
because Of a small broom corn
crop. And beef prices are sky
rocketing despite a cattle popu-
lation increase each year since
1949. 1t means housewives will
pay more at the butcher shop.
But that's not all. 1t costs
more. a great deal more, to get
well these days. The health in
surance council confirms that
the costs of hospitals, doctors,
medicals, ETC.. are priced 20 per
cent higher today than a year
ago. And in New Jersey. private
duty nurses have increased their
fees to SIC for an 8-hour day
a So boost.

Key Issues Rise

NEW YORK. Aug. % P).-
The stock market today put on
its best show of strength in more
than a week, with key issues up
l to around Q points in the early
afternoon.
Steel. metal, oil and aircraft
shares were favored in a morning
rally, which for a time extended
gains to around 3 points.
Volume, which has been I'M
usually low, speeded up as prices
improved. In early afternoon,
prices were below their best with
trading at slower gait.
Transactions were estimated at
around 100000 shares for the
day. compared with yesterdays
100000 shares, lowest total
since June IS.
Wall Street said a substantial
rally was no surprise, following
six consecutive declines which
brought the market into an over
sold condition.
United States Government
bonds were higher in light deal
lngs. Corporate bonds were
irregular.
