often with industrial companies
than with railroads or public utll

known with I he latter. Nearly

?ocurlties of street railway com

MMlnK for the most fastidious
of investcfrs That was before
tile period of high operating costs
and motor car competition.
Hindsight is no help after the
damage Is done. The Important
question Is whut : shall be done
when an Investor finds his hold
ings taking an unfavorable trend.'
In nearly every Instants an in
vest or who has been unfortunate
enough to find himself In this po
altion asks how he can make up
lla loss by exchanging his stock
or bonds for some other security.
Now. hard an it may seem, that
^ttfgtlon must be considered as
an entirely new proposition. Iti
la Impossible to recoup a specu- '
latlve loss except by indulging in ;
unother speculation and there is
never any assurance that the Be- !
cond venture will turn out more
rapidly than lha first. There is
paly one of two things to do.
Kither you stiould huld on in the,
hope that the worst l<us been

loss, sell out and rsinvast th*1

It la the concensus of opinion
"BEAR CAT" Sucker*
They are good
among bankers and financial
authorities that the united States
will be called upon to absorb a
vast amount of foreign securities
within the coming twelve months
or more.
It has been an axiom In the
Investment banking business for
u long time that the average
American investor doea not take
kindly to a foreign investment.
There la ftome reason to believe
that thts< attitude la being modi
fied. For one reason the great
success of the German loan
polnta In that direction. It is
true that that particular loan
was unusually attractive. Pay
able In dollars and secured by
what was In effect a first mort
gage on all Oerman resources U Is
not surprising that the over-sub
scription was so large.
The question now arises as to
the foreign bond offerings yet to
come. And her? a word of warn
ing may be in season. Foreign
Investments vary la merit Just as
domestic investment. The can
not be considered as a whole.
They will present risks cov- ,
rrlng a wide range. It will
not do to say that a bond Is good
because It is a foreign ls*uc any
more than It would to say It is
bad because It is a foreign issue.
You will have to use the same
Judgment In appraising these for
eign investments as you do In any
other kind or a commitment. If
you are unable to exercise this!
discrimination yourself you must1
consult someone who can
For the most part the oppor-j

Now It la easier to rate a govern- '

an industrial obligation. A gov-]
