Taking the same example, suppose the price of General Alotors had gone down to 147 after the speculator had purchased it at 150. In that case he has a paper los of 3 points. He fears it might go further—fear and’ hope alternate in the speculative mind— and so he de- cides to put in an order to sell hi stock at “145 stop.” If the order is executed, he will have 5 points loss but it won't be 10. All speculators using stop orders to protect profits or to limit losses al ways take the chance that a much lower price will have to be accepted in the case of a selling stop and a much higher price have to be paid in the case of a buying stop than the figure set in the order. There is no of insuring against this possi- bility, but the danger is much less in the case of active stocks than it is with inactive ones.

Rukeyser. (Covyright. 1926.) The epithet of being a Shylock, which has recently been applied by foreigners to the American banker, will disappear as interest rates on alien issues return to normal. The cost of money, like that of commodities, is determined by supply and demand, and the increasing willingness of American investors to place Old World corporate and gov- ernment bonds in their strong boxes is already substantially reducing in- terest rates on new offerings. The financial mind on this side of the in {s becoming assured that urope will emerge from the dis- turbances of the war as a solvent and productive continent. The handwriting on the wall is revealed in the progressively favor- able treatment which new foreign borrowers receive. Supes@rially, it would seemy that it would Wave been better for alien borrowers to have waited, ‘but_particularly in the case of German borrowers waiting would bave been costly. The disappearance of the old mark and the substitution of the new in 1924 had the effect of wiping out the working capital of business establishments. The main purpose of the great wave of bor- rowing from Central Europe was to refill the reservoir which had been depleted. Bullish German Stocks. _The willingness with which for- ’igners contributed to the renaissance »f German economic life was a factor in causing the great bull market in German 1ndustrial securities, which uave risen in excess of 300 per cent in the last year, recovering from the subnormal depression which accom- panied the return to a gold basis. Nineteen twenty-six will prove a_year of unprecedentediy large dollar loans to foreign industrial and public util- ity corporations. German enterpri: have been the largest borrowers eigl years after fighting ceased on the bat- tlefield. Finance do»s not hold grudges. Money is international, and moves to the places which seemingly offer the largest opportunities. The late Hen v partner of J. P. Morgan, once remarked that senti ment counts in business only when an individual can choose between two propositions of equal merit. Is the market right in taking a more optimistic view of the economic situa tion? ~ That is a question for the fu ture to answer. My own first-hand observations in European countries during the Summer left me of the opinion that, if Europe can maintain weace, it c isfactorily work out its economic problems.

At present 100 pesos, silver, are worth only about 92 or 93 pesos, gold. The drop in the price of raw silver in London and New York Is causing some Mexican mine owners to reduce operations and lay off workmen.
