I Wall Street Proposed Sale of American Bonds in London Reflects More Confidence There Than Here. BY RALPH HENDERSHOT Timet SpeUl Flnanfial Writer Unable to secure new capital in the United States, several American companies are reputed to be seeking funds in London. And. according to all accounts, the European bankers are rather friendly disposed toward the idea. This is a strange situation in view of the fact that a few years ago we were taking business away from London, and many people were saying that New York was about to become the money center of the world. To a certain extent it is fair to assume that the new Truth-in-Secur-ities act has been responsible for the development. But probably of far more influence has been the attitude of the American investing public toward securities. The people in the United States run hot and cold as far as securities are concerned, but it is not particularly surprising that such is the case. This country’ is new in the investment field. Few stocks and bonds were held here prior to the sale of the Liberty bonds during the war. But before the last bull market blew up it was estimated that there were between fifteen and twenty million people owning
securities. These people were not all investors, however. Most of them, in fact, probably could not differentiate between investment and speculation. While a great deal of fuss has been made about the consequences, the fact of the matter is that a big majority of those who bought stocks in those days did so with the idea they would grow’ rich over-night through owning them. It was their gambling instinct which prompted their action and they lost, as gamblers frequently do. a a a Blind Leading the Blind And in a great many instances those who offered the securities for sale in those days were as ignorant about investments as were their clients. Cloak and suit men. broken-down actors and people from many other walks of life were either offering stocks and bonds for sale or were advising their friends on security purchases. They regarded it more or less in the

nature of a racket, and they were making the most of it. Everybody was happy until things began to go wrong. Then, of course, the party broke up in a free-for-all. Our first important venture into the security business was rather disastrous or nearly everybody concerned. Those who bought and those who sold made money for a time. But they have since lost most or all of it, and today they are much wiser as a result. There is reason to believe that the 1927. 1928 and 1929 excesses will not occur again—at least not soon. The securities act will help to prevent it, but good common sense will be an equally important factor. a a a a a a Europeans Buy Income in Securities Those who have studied investment psychology' in Europe say that in the leading financial centers people pay more attention to income than to appreciation in principal when selecting securities. That would seem to be a much sounder practice than buying purely on some one’s tip that some stock is going to 500 a share. If the bankers in London pre willing to underwrite American securities at this time it is obvious that the average English investor has more confidence in the future of our corporations than we have. And, in view of the huge sums needed this year for refunding purposes in the United States, this may prove to be a good thing.

7TSOCK AW BY BRUCE CATTON TT7HEN Erling Tambs, young ™ ’ Norwegian novelist, got married. he spent all his money on a forty-foot sailing boat. Then he and his bride set out on a cruise around the world. They had less than 50 cents in cash, they lacked charts and navigation instruments, and their boat even had no spare sails. Tambs tells about this unique honeymoon in “The Cruise of the Teddy.” By dint of sending stories back to a Norwegian newspaper. Tambs kept just enough of a trickle of cash coming in to buy supplies. He and his bride sailed leisurely down to the Canary islands —and there Mrs. Tambs gave birth to a son. When the boy was 6 weeks old. they took him aboard and sailed across the Atlantic. They went through the Panama canal and set out across the Pacific. They visited the Marquesas and Tahati and similar romantic spots, escaped disaster by virtue of their boat’s sturdiness and Tambs’ seamanship, got to New Zealand —and there Mrs. Tambs gave birth to a daughter. Pretty soon they set out again, with two tiny children abroad. All in all. this amazing cruise lasted about four years. The boat finally was wrecked on the New Zealand coast, and Tambs saved his family from drowning by the skin of their collective teeth. Then he sat down and wrote this book; if it is profitable enough, they are going to buy anew boat. Published by Harcourt, Brace & Cos., it retails for $3.
PORK MARKET OFF 10 CENTS ATJiITY PENS Cattle Slow : and Steady; Veals, Lambs Remain Unchanged. A decline of 10 tents was displayed in hog trading at the local stockyards this morning, following the advance in the previous session. Large increase in receipts was partly responsible for the weakness. The bulk, 160 to 250 pounds, sold for $3.60 to $3.80, while few choice kinds were selling at $3.85. Weights scaling 250 pounds and upward brought $3.35 to $3.55. Lighter classes weighing 130 to 160 pounds sold at $3.10 to $3.50, while slaughter pigs, 100 to 130, were salable at $2.10 to $2.85. Receipts were estimated at 9,000; holdovers, 265. Initial trading in the cattle market was not fully developed, with asking slightly higher and bidding steady on slaughter steers. Other grades remained inactive. She stock moved slow and around steady. Receipts numbered 1,200. Vealers continued in a steady trading range, selling at around $7.50 down. Receipts were 500. With an early trend not established, lamb prices held practically unchanged. Few native grades were steady at $9 down. Supply consisted mostly of fed westerns. Receipts were 1,600. Asking on hogs at Chicago moved around 15 cents higher than yesterday’s average. Better classes weighing 180 to 220 pounds were bid in at $3.85 to $3.90.

Nation’s Wheat Board Studies Vital Proposals
Advisory Body to Consider Draft Agreement for Minimum Prices. By United Press LONDON, Jan. 30.—The international wheat advisory commission met yesterday to consider two vital proposals, including a draft agreement for establishment of world minimum prices. The second important discussion of the agenda was a proposal, made in a confidential report to the commission. for increasing world wheat consumption, by from 10 to 15 per cent. The report recommends, in substance, the decrease of the percentage of flour to be extracted from wheat from approximately 70 per cent to 60 per cent, and suggests asking the world governments to take legal steps to make the system general and compulsory. Urges Larger Consumption Another proposal was to bring about an increased use of wheat for animal consumption, and a larger use of uncut wheat as fodder. John Van Antwerp Mac Murray, United States minister to the Baltic states, presided over the sessions, which will continue for several days. A two-page draft agreement for creating minimum wheat and flour prices was embodied in a report by the subcommittee on marketing conditions, prepared earlier this month. It refrained from recommending any specific prices, but outlined a basis for a world accord. The subsidies given by all countries except Canada and Australia to wheat growers and exporters were to be considered at length, and resumption of negotiations with Russian representatives to obtain a fixed export quota from the soviets was to be discussed. Moscow Remains Out Moscow has remained out of any world agreement because it was unwilling to accept the export quota offered by Argentina, Canada, Australia and the United States, and insisted on the right to export 75,000.000 bushels this year. The other four largest wheat countries wanted to limit Russia’s exports to 37.000,000 bushels, with another 8,000,000 bushels contingent upon conditions. Prospects for the current crop year indicated a possible total of 560000,000 bushels for export, but may have been over-optimistic. The quotas were established on that figure, and if crops are smaller the quotas will be redistributed. Births Boys Paul and Audrey Moyer. 3837 Olney. Frank and Naomi Heflin, St. Vincent's hospital.

FUTURES GAIN FRACTIUNS ON BULLISH NEWS Favorable Crop Reports Encourage Traders: Cotton Strong. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Prei* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Jan. 30. Routine news of a bullish nature attracted buyers to the wheat pit at the opening of the Board of Trade today and all grain prices advanced fractionally over yesterday's finish. Wheat deliveries were % to *t cent higher, corn was up % to 'j cent, and oats were % cent higher. Strength in cotton and stocks stimulated activity in grains. The trade was further encouraged by the probability of inflation and by the continued bullish crop news from the southwest. Most encouraging in the wheat market was the increase in outside orders, noted particularly in the late trading yesterday The trade has felt for some time that there was sufficient constructive news and that an advancing trend could be maintained if outside interest increased. The severe cold weather brings a threat to the crop in sections where it has been progressing satisfactorily, and moisture conditions in the southwest have not been relieved.
