WEDNES[IAAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1924. Oil Finance World Warfare Strikes At U.S. Foreign Trade By J. C. ROYLE (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—The re- volts, revolutions, political disturban- ces and civil wars now in progress in various parts of the world, are not bringing any general benefit to American foreign trade’ even tho they have a temporarily stimulating effect on some lines. They have checked more business thrn they have produced. ‘Thousands of ounces of g\merican- Produced. silver bave gone to China for coinage, since payment in hard cash is deemed essential in -holding together the. soldiers. of the rival armies there. In return, millions of Chinese capital is being hastily changed into American securities. Cable advices to International bank- ing firma in this country report that thousands of Chinese from interior Points are rushing to Shaghal and Canton bringing their total wealth with them. About $20,000,000 has been inveat- @a4a American securities in the last week, Import and export business thru- out China, however, is almost at a standstill. There is little buying of American grain, flour or,lumber and steel ships are at a standstill. Ordera Everyman’s How Much Marketability Should Investments Have? Tt is a frequent saying among Bond salesmen that, generally, a business men should have his !nvest- ments ‘readily marketable to the ex- tent of 33 1-3 per cent; that is, one third of his investments should bo in securities that are quickly sale- able should his business require funds immediately at any time, There is no general rule as to mar ketability. Perhaps to say that mar: ketability of investmeiits should be between 20 afd 40 per cent would be more applicable. At that many ‘persons, women, doctors, Lawyers, teachers ‘and other might not need more than 5 per cent of thelr hold- ings in readily marketable securl- ties that they could sell readily at approximate cost to meet an emerg- ency. To illustrate, a good Texas road bond may yield 5.40 per cent inter- est, while a municipal bond of New York or Chicago would only yield shout 4 per cént. ‘The sane ta true of a great many small clty bonds, wchool bonds, county bonds, and other municipal bonds. All these would yield more than the big city bonds because they have less mar- ketability. The large cities issue bonds in very large sums. More people buy ‘these bonds because there are usually more bonds to buy in any one issue. Naturally more people are interested in these issues of bonds—more people know about them and are in the market for them. Hence, while they may not Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune. ou FORT WORTH—The first line connecting the new Reagan oll fields with the Gulf of Mexico and Fort Worth refineries will be con: structed at ofice, according to oft! cials of the ‘Transcontinental Oil company and Benduman and Trees, of Pittsburgh. pipe Poultry. \ PORTLAND, ORP.—The holdings of turkeys in: the Willlamette valley are about 10 per cent heavier than last year, while the supply in cen- tral Oregon is about 5 per cent lags- er. The Douglas county supply has fallen off. Agricultural Products. TOPEKA.—The state agricultur- al officials now ‘estimate the Kan- fas corn'crop at 148,131,000 bushels, or 26 million bushels above 1923. and the largest since 1915. With corn crop added to estimated produc- tion of 154,258,000 bushels of winter wheat, 40,: 399,000 bushels of oats and 15 912,000 bushels of barley this will be one of the best grain years Kansas has had in a decad Automobile Accessories. * CLEVELAND.—The Fisher Ohlo Body company, engaged mainly on work for General Motors, has speed- ed up operations 15.per cent in the last fortnight. The Eaton Axle com Announcement The Public Service Com- pany of Colorado an- nounces the appointment of Mr. Robert W. Frye as the representative of the Securities Department of the company in Casper and vicinity. Inquiries regarding the Preferred Stock of the Public Service Company of Colorado, and Cities Service securities, may be addressed to Mr. Frye, P. O. Box No, 1217, Cas- per, Wyoming. Public Service Co., Of Colorado for Chinese exports to America have advanced nearly 25 per cent in vol- ume but American dealers are not Pleased because they are uncertain whether they will receive the ship- ments. Exporters may use the war as an excuse for falling to fulfill contracts at old prices. The revolutionary activities in Honduras have resulted in a dis: tinct curtailment of trade to thé Central American country Ship: ments of fruit and other Honduran Products have fallen off. “American merchants hestitate to send ship- ments of goods to dealers there be cause of the danger of confiscation or damage. West coast shipments and commerce have not bénefited by the recent political distrubances in Ecuador and Chile, altho these have not been attended by active employ- ment of armed forces, This condition applies also to Bra- zil, where complete recovery from the unrest of the Sao Paulo revolt has not yet taken place. Conditions there have been of sufficient im- Portance to arouse wide disscussion as to the future price of a cup coffee in this country. Coffee @: Perts, however, express no fear of a failuré of sufficient supply of raw coffee, despite the exceptional growth in consumption. Investment be a whit safer than the bonds of smaller communities, they do have greater marketability and the in- vestor pays for the greater market- ae by accepting a lower interest yield. Thus in considering marketability, the municipal bond buyer might buy a certain number of the higher yielding Texas road bonds, perhaps some rural school district bonds in lowa or Kansas, or may be New York town bonds or some small eity’s bonds. He would buy these because of safety and the higher yield and he would probably expect to held them untit maturity. But the New York and Chicago bonds, or other big issues of municipal bonds, or state bonds, he would consider because of safety and marketability and he would proportion his hold- ings accordingly as he might require marketability. The same is true buying rail. road, industrial or utility bonds. In these classes of bonds the investor would gelact the safe, hisher-viel ing bonds, which naturally has less marketability, to hold to maturity. He would buy the. sate, lower-yield- ing railroad, industrial or utility bond that had wider marketability because in event Ne wished to sell any of his bonds at any ‘time such securities would have a quicker market.. The small investor, how- ever, does not need to pay a great deal of attention to marketability, and need select only a very small part of his holdings fer that char- acteristic: Trade News pany announces the axle and spring business is on the up trend.

NEW YORK, prices moved Sept. 17.—Stock upward at today's opening under the leadership of Crucible Steel, which responded to the declaration of the regular quar- terly dividend with a gain of 1% points. Continued good inquiry was noted for the rubber issues and se’ l- industrial specialties, including Baldwin, which advanced a point.

The fan kept a stream of pure air pour- {ng into the wreckage and this is held responsible. for the escape of the twelve men who came out alfve. Continued operation of the fan {s the basis for a slight hope that some of the unaccounted men ‘may be found alive. « Martin Cahill, president of the Wyoming district of the United Mine Workers of America, is at the scene of the explosion, giving such aid to the stricken families as is possible. The majority of the men in the mine when the explosion oo- curred were married ang had chil- dren. This indicates that in the ma- jority of instances the maximum of insurance from the state worken's ompensation fund, $5,600, will be paid for each miner killed by tho ex- plosion. The mine has been producing about 1,200 tons of coal daily of late. Under normal conditions several hundred men are employed. but re- cently this force has been consider- ably reduced. The men who escaped Inst night were: Mike Benna, John Slovenick, Mike Skruby, Denver Hysell, Spence Hysell, Jake Hysell, sworth, Joe Kukoy, F. L. Matechek, K. Imoto and K. Migaki. Bodies removed from the mine were burned lamost beyond recog- nition, the sheriff sald., As fast ag the bodies wero" recovered they were brought to Kemmerer, where two improvised morgues have been set up.
