LIBERTY NATIONAL BANK Fifteenth and Eye Sts. FINANCIAL’/ 'IN-GRADE BONDS REGISTER LOSSES Rise in Money Rates Causes Fractional Declines in Some Issues. BY CHARLES F. SPEARE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK. January 30.—The re newal figure of 7 per cent for money today and the outlook for firm rates during the early part of next week had the effect of clipping off small fractions from a number of high-grade corpora tion bonds. Trading in this department is still quiet. There is difficulty in bringing buyers and sellers together. Technical strength lies in the fact that supplies 1 are limited and there Is no prospect of ! any addition in the form of new is ! sues. This leaves the market in the hands i of those who prefer to trade in specu lative bonds. The convertibles today were prominent, especially Internation al Telephone 4 1 2 s. which advanced over a point to a new high price, and Public Service of New Jersey 4 , 25. also at a new high and at one time 2', points over yesterday's closing. Anglo-Chilean 7s gained about a point. Anaconda Copper 7s were l 1 : > i points lower early in the session, but! later showed a net gain, while Barns-; dall 6s. Colon Oil 6s and International Cement ss'acted heavy. The bonds of some of the small rail lines recovered a portion of yesterday’s decline, especially those of the lowa Central and Minneapolis & St. Lbuis. There was quite heavy liquidation in Florida East Coast refunding ss, now at a level 4 points below their recent price and only a point above the low record figure. Seaboard Air Lines were also weak. In the foreign list the strength of French government, municipal and rail road issues was conspicuous. Italian convertibles reacted. There was a sub stantial decline in Bolivian 7s. United States Government issues were irreg ular, with some of the Liberty bonds higher and long-term Treasuries lower. There is said to have been a very good dealers’ demand for tax-exempt issues this week, with prices slightly above those ruling earlier in the year. Four small investment trusts, so called, offered their shares today. A number of substantial corporations of the same kind are being formed and will make public offerings. The fact that the Procter & Gamble 5 per cent preferred stock, announced today at par. is exempt from the general prop erty tax in the State of Ohio explains its high price in comparison with other preferred issues.

A, Lewis Discusses Impor- / tance of New Form of Financial Service. Reuben A. Lewis, secretary of the trust company division of the American Bankers’ Association, told the fiduciary section of the District Bankers’ Asso ciation at the Willard last night that the trust business is the fastest growing form of financial service, the idea i taking hold so fast as to have brought j about a revolution in the American's > frame of mind. Touching on local conditions, Mr. j Lewis noted that Washington has an i unusually large amount of wealth cen tered here, adding that in the country at large only 45 people out of everv 100 leave wills. In the Capital, how ever, the average among those leaving estates is 65 out of every 100. Mr. Lewis further said; “While you are interested in know ing that the trust business is growing nationally, It is natural that vour par ticular interest should be focused on Washington. There are many reasons why Washington should be a splendid ! city for the development of trust busi ness. Foremost, there are a large num ber of residents who have sizable es tates, as represented by real estate and personal property. I am informed that there are. a considerable number of people owning large blocks of se curities. Standing of District. “It may surprise you to know that the Federal estate tax returns indicate that there are only 19 States that have as many wealthy people within their ! boundaries as the District of Columbia. , The latest statistics show that there i were 98 estates ja f more than $50,000 each and aggregating $37,285,905, that! w’ere passed on during the year of 1927. j These figures represent estates of the older generations, but young men of j wealth are coming along, and the pros pects for even more large estates are “ certainly bright. “The District has tw s o other distinct I advantages. It has no inheritance tax j to impose on the estates of its residents.! Only three other States offer similar! freedom from taxes —Alabama, Florida ; and Nevada. This should prove to be a i real inducement to people of wealth, | particularly to those who have amassed > enough property to permit them to re-! tire, to locate in Washington. “Our records indicate that the resi- I dents of Washington are much more j highly educated to the value of making ; a will than the average American.; Based on returns from cities in 30 dis- ! ferent States, we have found that only i 45 out of 100 leaving estates die with j wills. In the District the returns for ’ the four years ending 1927 disclose that J 65 out of 100 made wills. The figures I are a tribute to the intelligence of the j residents of the District of Columbia, | who are sensible enough to provide for j the distribution of their property in ac- ; cordance with their own wishes rather I than to let the hard and fast rule of \ the statutes control this distribution, j Since that time the trust companies j and banks of Washington have engaged | in a co-operative advertising campaign, I so the chances are that an even higher j percentage will make their wills in the j future. Statistics on Wills. “Such a state of will-consciousness is bound to promote the trust business. The figures for the four years are: Number of wills Total number of j Year, probated. estates. j 1924 800 1.228 • i 1925 ........ 921 1.279 1926 1.094 1.382 1927 1,072 1,687 “While the trust business is by no means new to Washington, it is prob able that it has not been developed as highly as in a few other centers,” said Mr. Lewis. The speaker went on to stggest some of the best methods of increasing busi ness, the first being the substitution of business friendship for business enmity. He stressed the importance of uniform fees for trust service and urged depart ments to have printed schedules always ready for customers. He spoke of the development of close contact with legislation and said he considered the development of proper relations with the legal profession of utmost impor tance. About 90 per cent of the business that trust companies get comes from lawyers, he asserted, adding that too much could not be done to cultivate the good will of the bar. In some sec tions of the country the work of the trust companies is being bitterly fought from this quarter. Mr. Lewis mentioned the growing popularity of the insurance trust, the importance of advertising, of keeping in close touch with the Probate Courts, and added that there is no need of a trust department losing money for the first five years. He knows many banks that have made this service pay almost from the start. In conclusion he made a plea for better and better service, sounding this note of warning; Importance of Service. \ “But, in the long run, profits will j come to those institutions that best ! serve their customers. It is revealing | no secret when I tell you that many of < the oldest and most experienced trust j men fear that the quality of trust; service W’ill not keep pace with the; growth. This is a challenge to us all — j to see that the advance notice is not; better than the show'. “The corporate trustee proclaims that j it has special skill and training. It ad- j vertises that it is prepared to give superior service in the manifold prob lems of finance, accounting and invest ment connected with the settlement of estates and the administration of trusts. This should stimulate every trust man to see that he measures up to that •exacting standard.” Why Take Chances When Your Money Can Earn 6% With Safety?
