Stock KxcliaiiRo UiilltlliiR, miu for xprt ir'o th-iiuc-i. drain I'nrpi rnllnni. hi rhose Interview In this column n few rtnya ngo on the value of tho "upcculutor" 'nm" r''1'''' n rri nixod rgi echoed by many prominent financiers, ius persuailed to bI his views on thnt olhcr class of men who frequent the Innnl rootti3 of lllkcrs ofllces tho "Investor." "The Investor " said Jlr. Turner. "Is a powarful factor. Ilo lCfORnbcs that In (ptculfltlve periods stocks do not sell on Intrinsic merit. He Js right. In n hull niiir tt many stocks sell far beyond what their Intrinsic mctlt vaintnts. In u hear market they ell far below. The pendulum swings well beyond the .enter tit Intrinsic "Jl'j1',-,, merit. It Is tho careful Investment liuvcr who nets stocks cheap and sells them to id, antanc. Ho Is reasonably patient. When stocks have been inured on tho market forBOtno time iipiI tho talk hi tho financial community Is nt Its bluest, ho says, "Now U ray time to buy tho safest things.' Ho reasons that tho decline has been extraor dinarily severe. He puvs for what lis gets, or pays so much for It that he Is ns r.tarly safe as ho can be, and does not worry. Ills philosophy nlwaya Is that he can ncer miss any money If ho attempts to buy tit tho lowest price or to fcII nt the 1 highest price. Tho man who waits for the lowest price almost Invariably misses entirely, and the man who listens to the pleading of others 'not to sell when thotc Is a splendid profit' usually likewise mlses. Nothing Is harder than to get men to sell docks on a rising- market. It Is not human unturr. Tlicso men aro persistently optimistic, and 'buy when things are moving upward.' Ir. the wmc manner it Is the hardest work Itmglnable for brokcni to get their customers to sell im a declining market. The optimism of the bujers lead- them to bellovu that tho worst Is ocr, tr that a recowiy 'must' come. The-, tiro i;u ded by their desires and not by their i cool Judgment." ' Baltimore Bonds Below Par "l see Baltimore sold somo of her bonds below par lecently," icmarked tho man ager of a big out-of-town banking hoii!o which makes n specialty of municipals. "I suppn.se." ho resumed, "they have a law down then which peimlts munici pals to ho sold below par, but It can't be done In l'innsylnnla when they t.ro llrvt Issued; that Is, municipalities In rcnnsylvanU when they Issue bonds with a fixed Mto of Interest must not sell them under par. "Municipals aic a drag on tho market at ptcsent," ho bitld. ".Many good Issues Uhlch brought a good premium when Hist Issued aio now helling around par utnl a little below In some cases. "If I were advising any one today what bonds to buy," he icplled In uiswcr to aquestlon, "I would certainly advise those thrctjenr notes of l.icat ISrltaln and Iieland, Issued in 1016 to mature in 1910. They aro '. per cent note and at their present price of Of) net a little over 7 per cent. There was another Issuo of those notes put out cnrrylng iV4 per cent Inteicst. They will tnatuio In 1921; aio (-elllng at 94 and at that pi ice yield over 7 per cent. "There is no better security in the world than these notes, except It Is our own Liberty Bonds." Mann Libert Bonds in Market "I wonder how It Is thnt sn m mj ...in'ity Bonds of tho small $30 nml $100 denominations hao come Into tho nviiket within the last few days?" remarked n member of the firm of Barclay Moore & Co . South Broad street. "We hale orders for a big block of them, i-o wo aro taking nil sent to us up to the present, but I was wondering why these small holders ar- selling. Many ie quests for sale come by mall, and don't glo any clue as to the rca-nn whv tho nVner Wishes to part with the bonds. Some besides want to know what they wilt get and want to know how long they will hao to iv.it t for their money, gisiug the Idea that they possibly Imagine they must glio a week's or two weeks' notice as in a savings benk. Somo who como in hero are surptlbed to get a check for tho amount light away, and a few who preferred cash were still moto surprised to get the cash right i oier the counter. "You know," ho said, "when wo sold theo bonds wo told the people It was llko V buying money; that they could convert them Into cash nnv time, and while I mil sure ft many did not believe It, thov are now finding out It la mi. and I expect when the fact t becomes known generally It will result In a tightening up and peop'e who hold them A will not want to sell. "For feo far I believe that only a few bought under pressure such as tho em ployes of certain largo corporations who felt they had to go with tho crowd and who need the money for other purposes -frrm the m.iJorIl of those trying to sell at present, and 1 don't lmnr o t I'p-o tiTii'-e ' e- ('if'" ' -Is In the near fulute." New England Firm Shows Faith Some financiers say that it shows a gicu ileal ot faith In the future, for Baker, Ayling & Young, of Boston, with local cilices In the hand Title Building, to bring eut even a small issuo of long-term (twenty-fli e- ear) bonds, as they have done In the case of the Grafton County i:iectrlc Light and I'ower Company. Tho total Issue Is only ?JlC,000. They are first mortgage i" per cent gold bonds, dated August 1, 1917. These bonds are legal Iniostmciit for New Hampshire savings banks, and while most of the Issue will be disposed uf In Now Hngland, the local man ager hero says he will dispose of quite n number In this city. They aro quoted at 95 and Interest, to yield about C.35 per cent. Tho earnings of the company for tho year ended Juno 30, 1917, are repotted to be more than four times the Interest on this issue. Psychology of Board Room "The psychology of a broker's ho.ud room Is well worth a study," said' W. K. Bells, manager of Jones & Baker, Wldener Building. "Most men trust too much to their ejes," he bald. "They know- tho Intrliiblo value of tho particular btock or stocks they are trading In to a cent, and they watch foe. board closely too closely to tibo their own good Judgment. In fact, they g(c too much attention to the rises and falls of the board figutes and too little' to their Judgment. A man will see a stock go down below a point where ho knows It Is cheap and, because he believes It will go btlll lower; ho icfues to buy, and In tho lame way he refuses to let go when he sees a tcuain stock away aboio Its valuo but still going up. "The best trader we ever had In our board room In Chicago was a blind man, which goes to prove rny point " said Mr Sells "that 'udsment, rather than figures en the board, Is the best guide." Sidestep Russian Rubles "When anyone asks me about Russian itibles these days," said William Wright, manager of the foreign exchange department of the Franklin National Bank, "my Invariable, answer Is, 'Hands off! Don't touch th&m!' "Yesterday whllo wu were making a calculation on rubles for a lady the price changed, and we had to go all over It again. There's no telling what tho itiblo or the Russians are going to do next." said Mr. Wright "and he's 'light.'" Hold On to Silver Stocks Fox & Co., in tho Real Estate Trust Building, advise thoso holding silver stocks to hold on to them. "Notwithstanding tho udvanclng prices for tho metal which I piedlcted," said Mr. Fox, "tho silver stocks did not icspond as was expected by many holders ot them, but It will bo remembered we had an exactly similar parallel in copper btocks about a year ago. "At that tlmo tho prlco of the metal copper wont gradually up from about twenty-two cents to thirty cents a pound and over, If I tecollect correctly. Now tha wpper stocks did not respond to this ndvunco In prlco, as many expected they i Would at once; nor did thoy begin to move upward for almost four or flvo months tfterward. "I believe," continued Mr. I''ox, "that the same thing Is going to happen In this lher situation, and for that reason I advise all holders of good silver stocks to hold n and not let go for n whllo, anyhow." 4 ' Report of United Light Subsidiaries The earnings of tho subsidiary companies of tho United Light and Railways Cornpany for tho twelvo month3 ending July 31, has been Issued by Bonbrlght & Co, Inc. , The statement shows an Increase In gross earnings for tho nbove period as com pared with tho same period tho year previous of $434,932.09, and of net earnings & n lncrease us above of $50,592.14.

R. R. Stock l "Among tho causes contributing to the depression of the Pennsylvania Ralltoad ( ock and by that I do not Include the lines west of Pittsburgh," said II, Evans 't Taylor, of the Investors' Service, In the.Morrls Building, "is tho fact that 03 per cent Of the freight hauled over these lines Is coal, and 20 per cent of that Is hard coal. "Now ciery one knows the chaotic condition of the coal Industry and such a condition is bound to be reflected In tho coal freght carrying roads at least that is my opinion."
