HUGHES. Switzerland Dollar Bonds. | _With the one exception of Great | Britain no other nation in Europe has | a higher credit standing than Switz. { erland. The price which the dollar bonds of the Swise republic bring in the { New York market is ample. proof of | | this fact. They all ell on a 5 to 514 | compared with 4.90 per cent basis the United Kingdom 3128 of 1937, the active British issue, bring. In_ fact there is one Swiss ibond. the 513% of 1929, which sell on a less than a 5 per cent basis. This, however, is a_short-term issue and is not listed on the Stock Exchange, { dealings being carried on in the Curb Market. The other two dollar obliga- tions of the government of Switzer. are the s, due July 1. 1340, and | s, due ,\|~r|l 1, 1046, per cent bonds were sold in July 0. in a time of very high ! rates and before there had |been any material recovery from war conditions. For although Swtizerland was not actively engazed on either side she was put to enormous ex- pense to maintain her neutrality. Now these § per cent honds are call- able July 1, 1930, at 105, and it is al- most certain, that they will be retired | at that time. This fact must be taken | account of when estimating the vield. For example, if a Swiss 8 was pur. | chasea January 1 . at 117, and { called July 1. 19 105, it would eturn the investor almost exactly 5 per cent. The 5%s which sell at a premium of around three points are callable at par April 1, 1934. Bought at 103 t—, too, would yield only a little over 5 per cent, assuming they were retired at the first possible date. It is, of course, not so 'sure that the ill not run until maturity, but in any case the return would not be much over' 5.25 per cent. Investors who are satisfied with these yields and do not object to the comparatively short maturity need have no concern over security If they put thelr money in Swiss honds, (Coprrizht, 1926.) ’ THE EVENING Tonight Our stores remain open until 8 o’clock Tomorrow Night All stores will remain open as long as business demands, none closing before 10 p.m. Walnuts, Calif.
