PERSONAL TRUSTS
A PERSONAL trusteeship is in its nature a highly
personal matter. Such a relationship calls for
tact, kxndlbresa, and insight on the one hand; for
alertness, financial skill and unremitting diligence en the
other.
The New York life Insurance and Trust Company off ers
the advantages of a corporation which is not too large
to give its clients personal attention, and which has
nearly a century of experience behind it as a guaranty
of competence.

EQUITABLE BUILDING NEW YORK
"SEVENTY YEARS IN SERVING THE PUBLIC"
Harry B. Thayer
says it isn't easy to
successfully succeed a success.
AND yet, as President of the American Telephone and
jt\ Telegraph Company, his plan enables him to carry on
Theodore N. VaxTs great work.
Thayer s plan is to find the right man to solve every problem
and then let him solve it, "My own work,'* he says, "is to
look ahead and see whatYgoing to happen and then prepare
to do the proper thing in time."
Busy executives who use the Importers and Traders National
Bank, frequently seek advice. Like Thayer, they want prac
tical advice on industrial and finan?rial problems "in time."
A ?uccessful Bank for successful men?this is our aim and
our accomplishment.

Financial Editor, The Tribuno, ida
Nassau Street, Nets York City,
Learn? His Lesson and Reforms
Qufi?tion?I _m an Interested reader of
your valuable column; in fact, it is on- ot
the features i enjoy most in Tho Tribune.
I, like n great many others, have h.i?l my
?tart In th;t Investment field by picking the
wrong socuritiee. 1 am BUM this sort of
story In very familiar lo you, so 1 Will not
cry over spilled milk. Suffice It to aay
thftt I have learner! my lesson and finally
have com? to tho conclusion that your nd
vlco Is beat, namely, that one should only
Invest one's saving-? tu sound securities I
should be very grateful to you If you
would g(|ve me a li?t of high grade bonds,
railroad and others, that are selling at a
big discount been use of low coupon rate.
i Safety and appreciation of principal Is my
i first ?aim, with yield a secondary con?
sideration. Also, at what ?1?-nominations
they may be purchased. My Idea is to in?
vest my KavinKs every time they amount
to $500 or ?800 In one of the bonds I have
described and then pht them away Tn
i this way my Interest will be compounded
more rapidly than If I bought a bond for
$1,000. Am I not right? Also please tell
me If International Paper preferred is
sound.?J. J. K.
Answer?The following bonds come
in $100 and $500 denominations and
meet your requirements: Norfolk _
Western Consolidated 4s, Southern Pa?
cific-San Francisco Terminal 4s; Colo?
rado & Southern 4_s, and the follow?
ing come in $500 denominations and
are good investments for your purpose:
Northern Pacific General 3s, Central
Pacific First 4a; Union Pacific Con?
vertible 4a. Paper preferred is specu?
lative, in our opinion.
Has Dividend Table Mixed Up
Question?-Being until lately a resident
of New York City, I have been ?nd still
em a reader of your paper, -which I find
I cannot dispense with. In a recent edi?
tion notice was given of an extra dividend
declared on American Steel Foundries com?
mon, of which I own a few shares. Also
in the edition published July 2 notice of
another extra dividend Is given. Will you
please be good enough to let me lenow
what each of these extra, dividends amounts
to7-*?-H. O. It., Norfolk, Va.
Answer?American Steel Foundries
common stock has not paid an extra
dividend this year. You must be con?
fusing the e.x dividend tnblo with divi?
dend declarations. The r<r;^ ex divi?
dend means without dividend, not ex?
tra dividend.
Buyer Must Stand the Loss
Question?I wish to give you a few de?
tail? of a stock transaction and have you
kindly advise me In e.onnection with saine.
In January, ISZO. 1 bought twenty-five
shares of stock and paid cash $500 and |
gavo note for $1,100, with stock as col- i
lateral. I bought from a stock brokerage !
company, some of whose officers were also j
officers of the National Bank, where my
loan was accommodated. Both Institu?
tions are In North Carolina, Every three
or six months tho bank has advised me
that my note account had been credited
with various amounts that corresponded
with the dividend declarations on my i
stock. However, the la3t dividend was
paid In script, and when I wrote the trans?
fer agents for my certif?cate, was told that
there was no stock In my name. 1 have
learned that wh n I made cash payment
of $500 In January, 1921, one of the officers
of tho brokerage company endorsed his
name to aomo stock thnt he held and sent
It over to the bank as collateral on my
note. This stock certlfloate 1 have tho
serial number of, but whether ?t is for
twenty-live shares or more I do not know,
or whether it just protected my note or
several. I have now called on the bank
to have this stock transferred lo my name.
I also claim that thi3 stock ehouid have
been issutd In my name at first, and that
the dividend checks should have been sent
to me direct. I aiso contend, and this is
Important, that as tho stock will neces?
sarily have to bo transferred to my name
now, that I should not have to pay mote
than the present market price, which Is
quite a good deal less than In January,
1920. As 1 see it, the brokerage company
did not execute my order, and now that I
have called upon them to deliver tho mock
they will have to make the purchase at
to-day's market. Please advise mo about
this, and if I am right about this advise
me what legal recourse I have to make
the broker refund mo the difference be?
tween the present, price and the price that
obtained when I made th? first cash pay?
ment. J. S. _.
Answer?The broker bought the !
stock for you at the 1920 prier, and !
now you vxpect him, you say, to de?
liver it to you at a lower price, a con- \
tention which is preposterous. If the
stock had gone up you would not have j
offered to pay the increased price, !
would you? According to your own
statement, the broker delivered the
stock to your bank and you owned it
from that moment. If you do not pay i
the 19-0 price for it then the bank will
sell it at the market and take, out the
$1,100 you owe and interest and give
you what is left.
Woman Has Problem in P. R. R.
Question?I hold thirty shares of Penn?
sylvania Railroad common stock at an
average cost of 51. At the unie this stock
was purchased Pennsylvania had a C per
cent dividend record, and by many was
reputed to be an excellent stock for a
woman Investor. Tho dividend is now on
a 4 per cent basis, and I urn undecided as
to the advisability of continuing to hold
this stock or sell it and purchase soma
high grade bonds. I would probably fol?
low the latter course If 1 could get some
high grade first mortgage 4 per cent bonds
maturing between llKiO and 1940 and sell?
ing to-day somewhere near the figure at
which Pennsylvania Railroad is quoted
On the other hand. If in your opinion th=i
present dividend on Pennsylvania is safe. I
would bo Inclined to hold my stock. "Will
you kindly advise me regarding a list of
bonds which aro likely to meet the above
requirements in case I should decide to
convert to bonds??Mrs. E. K.
Answer?This question of the sale of
Pennsylvania stock is one on which
there may be strong differences o? opin?
ion among the people who have made
the most careful and searching study of
the subject. Our own opinion is that
for a woman investor it would be bet?
ter to shift into a 4 per cent bond,
Belling at about what the Pennsylvania
stock is selling for. For instance,
Southern Pacific-Central Pacific col?
lateral 4s, 1939, at about 08, or New
York Dock first 4s, 1951, at about 70.
Lost by Sending Dollars to Ireland
Question?-I arrived In the United Statei
about ten years ago and from time to time
1 have been ?ending' money to Ireland for
deposit, which draws interest at a very
low rate. 1 intended after a few years
more to return and remain In Ireland. I
have changed my mind and will only visit
my parents and return to the United
Slates. What I would like to know is
this: Would It bo advisable to have tho
money (which amounts to about ?000) re?
main on deposit there until such time
when the exchange rate would Improve, or
would you advise drawing the ai?iount, and
If so what kind of security would ysu ad?
vise for Investment? Would United King?
dom of Great Britain and Ireland bunds '
purchased in Ireland be to a good advan?
tage, or would you advise investing tn |
these bonds??Mrs. R. K. W.
Answer?United Kingdom 5^8 per i
cent bonds, due 1929 (there is mora
than one issuo of United Kingdoms,
and while they are all secure, they |
have different maturity dates) are, in
our opinion, a good investment. We
do not know what the facilities for
buying these bonds in Ireland ore, but
you could have your funds transferred
to one of the New York trust com?
panies or banks andvhave them buy the
bonds for you. Interest and principal
on these bonds ?re payable in United
States gold, but they are convertible
at any time into British war loan 5s
on the basis of $4.30 to the pound
sterling, so if sterling goes above that
before 1929 you will have a partial
hedge on your present salo of sterling.

War Corporation
To Finance Sale
Of Cotton Supply
_____________
Arrangements Complete for
Shipping 200,000 Bales;
Nearly 600,000 More Are
Considered, Says Meyer
The War Finance Corporation hai
Arranged to finance the exportation ol
220,000 bale? of cotton, and businesf
[under consideration involves the financ
j Ing of 25,000 to 50,000 bales in on<
| transaction, 200,000 bales in anethai
and 300,000 bales in still another, ac
| cording to Eugene Meyer jr., manugin?.
i director.
Mr. Meyer made public those figure
i yesterday in connection with a state
| ment that replies to a questionnair
: sent to representative bankers in vari
I o'us parts of the South indicated thn
: it would be desirable for financing i
| addition to that which is availabl
? through ordinary banking channels i
; the cotton states. The inquiry was con
i ducted by a special committee appointe
by President Harding, consisting c
I Secretaries Mellon and Hoover and M:
Meyer, who said that a number of spc
dealers and exporters of cotton con?u
in this conclusion,
"All these loans," Mr. Meyer adde?
"mature within the coming cotton yes
and are designed to aid in flnancin
! the orderly marketing of the crop wit]
I out encouraging holding for speculate
purposes. In addition, the Federal R
I serve Board is giving active conside
! ation to cotton financing and will ho
a conference (to-day) to consider i
policy under present condition?.
"If it becomes clenr that adoqua
financing will be forthcoming throuj
the War Finance Corporat'o
through Federal Reserve banks in tl
cotton districts and? in case of nee
by providing a fund from banking di
tricts outside of the Sonth, it shoul
in my opinion, result in such increas
confidence as to stimulate more norm
takings by retail and wholesale me
chants, as well aB by mills. Inqui
which I have personally made indicat
that retailers and wholesalers are op(
ating on the basis of the lowest pc
sible stocks. This has resulted, to
great extent, in forcing stocks of r?
materials, which normally are carri
by mills, wholesalers, jobbers and ?
tailers, back upon the original pi
ducers and the country banks that
their financing."
Regarding the recent reports tl
the War Finance Corporation, if t
thorized to do so, mav come to the i
of the - Hrosdn by advancing funds
Claims against the government, he ?aid j
that there has been some discussion of |
this subject.
"The Wnr Finance Corporation," said
Mr. Meyer, "made advances to the rail- |
roads during the administration of Hi
rector General McAdoo. an?l later under
the administration of Director General
Hi?es. The total amount advanced was
$205,000,000, all of which, with toe
exception of about $45,000,000, hau been
repaid. Some of the loans of tho cor?
poration were made to the railroads
for the purpose- of enabling them to
repay the advances made to them by
I Director General McAdoo. thereby put
j ting tho Railroad Administration in
funda."
Wall Street heard yesterday that as
an alternative to the plan for having
tho War Finance Corporation render
; aid to the carriers a securities corpora
! tion be formed for the purpose of issu
! ing debentures, which may be sold.
I This would put the government in cash
j to settle claims of the railroads with
j cut the necessity of an additional ap?
propriation from Congress. According
to the reported plan, the government
would turn over to the now corpora
; tion the railroad and other securities
' now held against advances to tho rail
1 roads by the Railroad Administration
! and by the Treasury Department, and
| would also turn over the funded obliga?
1 tions representing capital expenditures
! during Federal control.

Tho Tribun* prints each day the ma?
turity date? of all active ponds quoted
on the New York Stock Exchange* The
return, on a bond to the investor depends
upon three, factors: the rate of interest
the security bears, the market price
and the distance of the maturity date.
To figure the precise yield on a bond it
is necessary to use yield tablee, but the
approximate, yield can roughly be figured
out by the following formula: Divide
the closing quotation on a bond into
the rate of interest it pays, and the re?
sult will be the annual return. If the
bard is selliyig below par you must
alloi'} also for the, appreciation of the
principal. To do thin subtract the mar
ket quotation from par, or 100, end di?
vide the remainder by the number of
years the bond has to run before ma
/' r I ? ?' ".'?'?> if a '1 per cent
bond is selling at 90 and has tev. years
? Wt, the annual return will be 6.06
cent. The difference between par
\e market price will be 10 points,
subtracting S>0 from too. Dividing ten
points by ten years, the quotient will be
1. This figure vs to be added to 6J6,
which is the annual return, and the re
Bult, 7.66 per cent, will give you tha
approximate yield.
