An Investment Message Yesterday we published a message as follows : "Perhaps never again will there be such bargains in investment securities as the market now offers, and so we say to all, and this means you,?scrape togeth? er all the money you can get without borrowing and buy investment securities? and buy them now." We said in our letter of yes? terday, "Many of the safest se? curities arc selling at the heavi? est discount. There is a rea? son for this, which we will ex? plain in another letter January 2nd." This is the explanation : We have had a long period of abnormally high interest rates. We used to issue 5< ' bonds and sell them at par. Many of the bonds being issued now bear an 8r? rate. Nobody is going to buy a 5?? bond at par if they can get an equally safe 8% bond at par. Many investors are taking the bonds out of their safe deposit vaults that they had carefully selected over i ter\n of years and are selling them for whatever they will bring and are putting the pro ?eeaU into tax exempt securi? ties. The investor who comes in the highest surtax bracket yf the Federal Income Tax must ? ?ay to the government 73% of his income. He gets ??O.OO in ? irest per year on his bond and he government takes ;>?>6.50 of it, leaving him with $13.50. Now, if he buys a municipal bond which is tax exempt he ?rets and keeps his full 950.00. Stated in another way, he can get as much income from a 51,000.00 tax exempl bond as he would gei from $3.700.00! 'nvested in corporation bonds.! The above is only one of the many reasons why we say that i perhaps never again will we seej such investment bargains. Now as to safety. The public sees a bond selling at, say. 70'.' : "?' its fa? e or par value and -ays, "Why, it cannot be safe." Many of these bonds are not ally safe but safer than when some big capitalist after care? ful investigation bought them at par and carried' them with pride and satisfaction to his safe deposit vault. We have shown in the above example !'OW. if he sold $3.700.00 of hese bonds for $1,000.00 and bought tax exempt bonds his income would be no less. In other words, if income alone ?'?ere to be considered he could -ell his corporate bonds at 27e?' )f. their face value and have [ust as much income. Now let us assume, simply l'or illustration, that one block ?f bonus were issued on a hydro-electric power plant built before the outbreak of the war. V -? will a-su me the plant was originally bonded for 50% if its cost and all of the bonds are still outstanding*. This same plant could not now be re? produced for double its origi eal cost, so these bonds only represent -?">' of the repro? duction cos? of -the property. As the bonds can now be bought for 7()'? of their face value it means that the pur chase price paid now for the bond1-; is only 17.5' of the re? production value. The above is only an example of one? type of many safe investment bar? gains. Thai there are rare bargains tobe had cannot be questioned. However, there was never '-ireatt-r need for discrimination in making purchases. We are confident oi beim? able to get you nal'e and profitable invest? ments. While we solicit your confidence and patronage, nevertheless ou r m e s s a g .s stands, "Buy, and buy now, upon either our advice or upon the advice of any of the many reputable houses that deal i?i investment securities." If you eare to leave it to our iudgment we will treat it as an honor transaction. Yours cordially, HENRY L. DOHERTY & COMPANY, 60 Wall Street, New York. ?

Steadying Whole List; March Near 13-Cent Level j An early decline, establishing new low records for mo.it deliveries, was followed by sharp rallies in the cotton ! market yesterday. January was rola- ! tively firm, selling up from 13.75c to I 14.P3c, and closing at 14.52, compared i with 14.02c at the close of the previous j day. Traders short of January con- '. tracts were evident'y rendered moro uneasy by the threat of a harbor strike > here beginning on Saturday. The few January notices so far , issued have been promptly stopped, and ! with a possibility t;-.at labor troubles ! will interfore with the bringing of cot- ? ton here from the South in time for delivery next month shorts were evi- ! dently disposed to cover an?! found comparatively few contracts for sale. I Both Liverpool and iocal spot house brokers were among the buyers on tho advance, which ran the price about; ?.'.?" points above tic quotation for | March. The strength of the January ? position pulled up fho rest of the list \ and the market clcsed steady at a ! rot advance of 7 to 50 points. Southern spot matkets, r.s officially' ???? "orted, were unchanged to TO points higher, middling quotations ranging from 12.90c at Houston to 14.50c at Savannah.

Early in the session there was a decline of l1,-ic under sell? ing owing to disappointment over the fact that British buyers had not come hi as expected and on deliveries of 230,000 bushels on December contracta in Chicago. From this level, however, the mar? ket gained stcadilv and at the close displayed a much firmer tone. The vol? ume of business was not large, and it was the opinion of some students of conditions that the upturn had been the result, of a firmer technical posi? tion, which resulted in covering in a market devoid of offers.
