'Something," ho added, "must bo done, as I am told there arc many bushels of this
'X ar' crop rotting In tho ground.
' "I have been told nlso," ho remarked, "that tho crop of winter cabbage Is nn
ilmoit total failure on account of tho ravages of caterpillars and worms, and In
' tlew of the fact that the crop of summer cabbage is both plenty and cheap, I wonder
f' if om plan of storage could not be Insisted upon by those In charge of the con
v Mrvatton of food products to meet this situation."
Good Securities Defy Conditions

.vine and Investment houses in tho city, "came to sell mo some bonds In tho midst

v v Story of a Bank's Growth
' "Here's a story of a Utile bank," said i:.'.Md,aln Walters, of the Ileal Ustato
'' Trust Building:
I "1 used to see drivers of brewery wagons, and others, taking money from saloon-
. w.nrs and private Individuals along the upper end of nidge avenue to deposit for
KCCiTCl .... , . i. ...! T nl 1, I, Ion tntn mv mlml that It would
' them In the oanis at .uaimjuui., miu ,,.. -
' worth while to establish a little bank nt East Falls.
' "Never did an attempt to organize a bank meet with such discouragements and
: luappolntments. nets were freely made among those who knew of tho venture that
no bank In that locality could gather $50,000 deposits in three years.
'. i "The Bank of East falls has been In existence one year, and tho deposits amount
: "The people In that section are hard-working people, and yet, in addition to the
t deposits mentioned, many of them bought $50 and $100 Liberty Bonds. Now they
' wonder how they ever got along without n bank."
s Good Business Men Improvident Investors
i ' "I can't undei stand why good business men who havo been successful In their
j ' awn line and havo mado money show such poor Judgment when they go to Invest
i the money which has come to them by tho hardest kind of wont
l , rlably trust to tlicir own aoiuiy 10 u-ibui tu iiiiu,.ui..,
, firm of Barclay & Moore, Soutn aroau street.
- "There Is a story going the rounds of tho clubs abdut a well-known recently
- ery succesful man In this city," ho remarked, "who had a considerable amount to
,' Invest lately. He bad heard that some time ago alt tho motor stocks were
making money they're not all doing it now and that a man could hardly mako a
' mistake In any of them.
i ' "A short time afterward this man was talking among his friends in a very
' , knowing manner about 'motor' stocks, and remarked he had just Invested in a big
i block of AlllsChalincrs.
'"I thought you believed in 'motor' stocks?' remarked one of his friends.
.' '"Well, so I do, and haven't I shown it by my purchase of Allls-Chalmers stock?'
I "He was a much-disappointed man when he discovered that Allls-Chalmers was
II tot a motor stock, and thai incy uia not munumuiuiu wic uuuuag -a,n.
"But to get back to the original proposition," said Sir. aioore. i woum line 10
Una out why careful, prudent, successful business men do not consult a good, reliable
Investment house before making investments. If they have a lawsuit on hand
they never think of acting as their own lawyer: they consult a reliable lawyer. If
ick, they consult a doctor: but when it comes to Investing money, they use their
own Judgment, too frequently with disastrous results.
"Many think if they select from 'listed' securities they cannot be mistaken, but
they don't uso any discrimination in making such selections. I supposo thero is a
reason psychological, perhaps but certainly a reason for such a universal disease
If I may so call It."
Why Did P. R. R. Stock Go Below Par?
"The only reason I can give as to why Pennsylvania Railroad stock should sell
town to 49H. as It did yesterday, Is that investors are like a flock of sheen one
jces over the ditch and all others follow," remarked a well-known banker.
"Strictly speaking." he added, "thero Is no reason for It. It seems to mo the
height of unreason that tho stock of tho premier railroad of tho world, with a sixty-one-year
record of dividends behind It, should sell below par.
Bond Salesmen With Busy Imaginations
"Any one who haa ever attended a convention of bond salesmen," remarked a,
ry successful member of tho profession, connected with a large Investment Arm,
"and listened in the hotel lobby, where such conventions are usually held, would bo
lurprlsed at the enormous sales 'pulled off' by so' many of the modest-appearing (?)
lalesmen In their conversations with each other.
"I don't know how it is, but it seems to me," ho continued, "that tho profession
of bond and security salesman has a peculiar effect on the imagination. In these
conversations there are never any small sales: they are all In the millions, and tho
rank outsider, who Is sometimes privileged to hear these stories, frequently won
ders why more bond salesmen don't own high-powered autos and yachts than is
really the case.
"There Is a story being told In New York that illustrates my point," he said. "It
li thla:
"A bond salesman in New York met another a few days ago and put the usual
question: 'How's business?' "
"'Fine,' said the other. 'I Just sold $5,000,000 short-term notes to the "Mutuablc"
Lie Insurance Company.'
"'Is that so?" said tho other who had Ju'st heard that the 'Mutuable' had not
bought anything for some time, and was not In the market. Tin glad to hear It.
Tou owe me a commission on that deal, as if you hadn't met me you wouldn't havo
old them.'
"Do you know," said this salesman, "that there are certain Investment houses
Whos men never say business is dull. They are always busy; no matter what other
houses are or are not doing, they are busy. It Is a business policy and they stick
to It."
Moving Slowly on Fixing Prices
It was rumored on tho street yesterday that there had been so much opposition
to the Administration's coal price fixing that the Government was moving very
lowly In tho matter of price fixing for steel, copper and fuel oil, notwithstanding
the. news from, an apparently reliable source that the price of $08 per ton, with n
110 bonus for rush orders, had been determined on for steel and twenty-five cents
pound for copper.
Complains of Improper Quotations
"Here is a letter from a woman customer In Massachusetts, an old Quaker lady
tho wrote asking us to buy a fow shares of a certain stock for her," said one of
the members of a prominent bond and Investment house yesterday. "'She Incloses
; her check for the bill wo sent her, but she adds that sho saw the stock quoted at
certain prlco In a leading Philadelphia newspaper of tho same date on which we
ought tho stock for her.
"Now. as u matter of fact, sho was right so far as the newspaper was con-
h eernea," he remarked, "and that paper gave tho quotation on that particular stock
( M coming from one of the most reputable houses In the city; but there was not
another share of that stock on the market on that particular day except tho few
i 'hares which we bought, and they could not have been bought at one cent less than
bought and sold them.
t "There are a lot of such cases which could be record-id, but whether It is care
lessness on the part of tho house furnishing the quotation, or whether they inten-
'Uortally try to 'bear' tho market on certain securities In that way, I don't know;
out they do the damage to lother concerns Just as reputable It not quite so large as
hey are.
"Now this old lady will have the Idea that wo tried to 'gouge' her, while as a
fatter of fact I lost a great deal of tlmt for the usual commission, which, as the
transaction was a small one. did not pay for the trouble. L only.'jvlsh such quota
tions would not be published unless they represented bona-flde transactions."
Why People Are Liquidating
"Whether people aro preparing to 'take Liberty Bonds when the second Issue
wme out, or whatever the purpose tbey havo In view, the present heavy liquidation
Jjj 'he highest grado of securities Is Inexplicable," remarked the manager of a largo
raveitment concern, '
"Wo havo been swamped with orders to sell, and advice to hold on seems to be
St on these people.
all 'fi1'he re,emln feature of the situation is that thero are others ready, to absorb
' that Is offered, so there must be two antagonistic points of view as to future
Mnditlons.
