FINANCIAL. STRAWBERRES AR LOVER IN MARKET Tomatoes, String Beans and Squashes Also Selling at Lower Prices. A slightly weaker strawberry mar- ket was reported by the Market News Service, Bureau of Agricultural Eco- nomics. The weaker market and moderate supply of the berries brought prices to a lower level. Berries, many of them from North Carolina, are in splendid condition and are finding ready sale at reduced prices. Fine quality of tomatoes from Florida are not arriving in big lots. Fairly large supplies of inferior to matoes are being received and sold in small quantities at reduced prices. Best stock is commanding good prices. Heavy supplies of string beans and equash have resulted in decreased prices for the two vegetables. Only light supplies of cucumbers are being received, but shipments for past few days have shown an increase. New peas from South Carolina are being received in bushel hampers. Supplies are light, demand moderate and market steady. There was the usual slow Monday trading this morn- ing, prices of most commodities hav- ing undergone no change since the close of last week's market. Today’s Wholesale Prices.

There has been a remarkable growth this past Winter in the popularity of American grapefruit in England and Scotland, reports Edwin Smith, for- eign representative of the Department of Agriculture. Although London is the center of grapefruit distribution in Europe, direct shipments have bee;\ made also to Glasgow and Liver- pool. ‘Wholesalers in cities like Manches- ter and Birmingham have stated to Mr. Smith that three years ago only the fancy fruit dealers in the better shopping districts were customers for grapefruit. During the past Winter the small grocers have been putting in the fruit in response to demand from both city and suburban resi- dents. Some very fine fruit has been re- ceived from Florida, and there is con- siderable preference for this fruit as compared with that from South Africa. Grapefruit from Arizona is also well liked because it is seedless and sweet. sl PARIS MARKET FIRM. PARIS, April 20.—Prices were firm on the Bourse today. Three per cent rentes, 45 francs 20 centimes. Ex- change on London, 91 francs 55 cen- times. Five per cent loan, 56 francs 10 centimes. The dollar was quoted at 19 francs 12 centimes. —_— Your Banker Knows.

In view of the violent fluctuations in the stock market this year—fluc- tuations which have affected spec- ulative stocks most, but which have not spared investment issues—some re-examination of the points which should be considered in buying com- mon stocks may be helpful. This is all from the standpoint of the in- vestor; the rules to be followed are directly opposite to those which gov- ern successful speculation. It is assumed that there is a legit- imate time when a genuine investor may add to his holdings a certain pro- portion of stocks. The difficulty is to determine just when this time is at hand. Now, there are three tests to apply. The first is the price, the second is the return on the money in- vested and the third is the intrinsic value. Let yg take up the matter of price first. first thing we note is that prices for stocks even of investment rating vary over a wide range. Take United States Steel, for instance. In 1924 Steel common sold at a low of 94% in June and a high of 121 in De- cember. This year the high was 129% in January. Now, an investor wants two things, security of prin- cipal and adequate income on his money. In the case of a stock which has no maturity date, he can obtain return of his principal only by sell- ing his shares at the market price. If he has to sell in time of market depression, when the price is low, he will suffer a loss of principal, which is the thing he wants to avold. Some risk along this line cannot be avoided. It is one of the penalties of holding common stocks. It is plain, however, that the risk is greater when the stock is bought in times of speculative excitement, when prices are being bid up to ex- travagant levels, and that the risk is much less when a stock is bought in times of speculative pessimism, when prices are being depressed to unjustified extents. Observe that there is no way of determining when a stock is at the low or when it is at the high. These terms are only relative, anyway. The point is that the shrewd investor will buy stocks tor permanent holdings only when other people are selling. One other warning: There is great- er danger of not waliting long enough than of waliting too long. (Copyright, 1925.) IOWA PRODUCTS GAIN. The value of products of manufac- turing establishments in the State of Towa, at factory prices, in 1923 was shown in biennial census figures of the Department of Commerce to have reached $690,043,000, an increase of 32.3 per cent over the 1921 value of $521,446,000. The figures, announced today, covered all establisHments with an output in excess of $5,000. FOR INVESTORS MORTGAGE NOTES IN CONVENIENT DENOMINATIONS ON IMEROVED PROPERTY in DISTRICT v COLUMBIA H. L.
