others, showed greater losses, In some
cases 4, G and cvn 6 points.
Motor shores continued to exact their
hare of the trading and Vtore generally
strong. Reports of largo earnings, due
largely to the demand from belligerent

Conservatism
There are may who be
lieve when a security pro
duces a low rate of interest
that fact ia evidence of con
servatism. It is, however, in some in
stances due to lack of that
quality.
When "future earnings"
are considered as a part of
the basis for issuing securi
ties, they become speculative.
If the "future earnings" do
not materialize, even the low
rate of interest will not be
earned.
Then the wpuld-b.e investor
finds that he has uncon
sciously become a speculator.
Our offerings are for in-,
vestment they are genuinely
conservative.
