...Scarcely were the new bonds sold when war-scare this week sent them and the rest of the Government bond market reeling in a full-fledged break of ⅞ of a point...
...open market is now more receptive than last year to new issues, but private sales are continuing because issuers can avoid the expense of underwriting and the troubles of SEC registration. Chief buyers are big insurance companies, which generally take an entire issue. This tends to give the insurance companies substantial say in the management of the issuer. Before Phillips Petroleum could market last week's issue, for instance, it had to get permission from a group of insurance firms to which it sold $23,000,000 in debentures in 1935 and 1937. To many a SEC official such...
With a monthly turnover of more than a billion dollars, C. J. Devine & Co. is said to handle more Government bonds than all its rivals put together. Last week C. J. Devine & Co. was busy, for the Treasury offered its first new money financing in the open market in over a year-$400,000,000 of twelve-to-fourteen-year 2½%, bonds (maturing Sept. 15, 1952, issued in denominations ranging from $50 to $100,000) and $300,000,000 of 1⅛% notes(maturing from June 15, 1943, issued in denominations from $100 to $100,000).* Holders...
Last week, as result of experiments in the little Pittsburgh "pilot mill." J. & L. introduced a new process which it hopes will give the company dominance of the seamless pipe market. Hitherto manganese, the element which gives, steel its pliability, has been apt to cluster instead of spreading evenly through the steel; now J. & L. is feeding manganese into the molten metal in carefully measured and shaped lots. The new process, says Metallurgist Graham, is like using bits of quick-dissolving granulated sugar in coffee rather than lump sugar. The analogy would be more accurate, he adds, if lump sugar...
...colonies has proved prophetic. Of the 2,000,000 pieces of pottery the Wedgwoods make and sell for about $1,000,000 each year, over 50% are sold in the U. S. and Canada, where the favorite pattern is undecorated, embossed, cream-colored. So vital is the U. S. market that when the company's representative in Manhattan, Kennard Laurence Wedgwood, was made chairman in 1930, he stayed right where he was. The only thing which takes Chairman Kennard back to England is the annual stockholders' meeting, tantamount to a family reunion since all stockholders are Wedgwoods...
