ment upward also was helped by reports
of a good demand for the cash articlo
from the East and light offerings from
the country, which stiffened spot gr,ades
materially, and futures were run into
new high territory for tho last several
days. A number ot stop-loss orders
were reached, the filling of which added
to the gains.
On the bulge, cash houses and longs
wcro free sellers, encouraged by h
bearish weekly report from the weather
bureau at Washington and by the
"price current," as well as by the un
stable position of foreign cxrhange and
nervousness over the labor situation.
Heavy profit-taking sent prices for
oats down after they had been firmer.
Trade was smaller and more local in

"Foreign Trade Through Foreign Investments" ,
Some Logical Reasons for Americans '
Investing at the Present Time in the
BRITISH GOVERNMENT
4 Per Cent Victory Bonds
Redeemable at par by accumulative linking fund by means
of annual drawing, beginning September S, 1920.
Owing to the unusual foreign exchange situation, the Pound Sterling, the normal value of
uhich is $4.86, is quoted now about $4.20; in other words, it costs $420 to send 100
to England instead of $486.
The 4r"r Victory Bonds may be purchased and delivered here for about $376 for 100
flat, including accrued interest of 2.12.0, worth about $1 1 at present.
At the prcient price these bonds yield about 4'2 r, while they remain undrawn; when re
deemed at par through annual drawings a profit of about 1 7' r on the original inNestmenl
will be obtained. At the present exchange value, these bonds at par would be worth
about $420 and with the return of the Pound Sterling to normal the alue would
be $486.
In the first instance the profit on the principal of the bond ($376 less accrued interest of
about $11) would amount to about $57, or more than I5r'r, ir. the second instance to
.ibout $123, or more than 33', on the original investment.
The present exchange situation affords unprecedented opportunities tor
(A) Purchase of goods in Great Britain.
(B) Payment of debts, loans and mortgage in
Great Britain.
(C) Investment in British securities.
For the purpose of enabling the investor to figure the price of the above bonds, and the
profits, particularly on bond-, drawn, at the various levels of exchange, the following table
is appended which gies the value of the principal at the present price and at par, and the
interest return in United States currency at each 5c increase in exchange froni the ap
proximate picsent to the normal rale.
