...Imperial Russian bonds at least in part. Last week as Mr. Henderson sat down to chat with Comrade Dovgalevsky even professed optimists doubted whether Moscow would yield now on two points which she has so long refused to concede. Still it was a great, significant event that, with small Norway's help, the two largest countries on the globe last week got back on speaking terms...
...exactly high tide, six graceful white boats were launched at Southwark Bridge: two for the King, two for the Vintners, two for the Dyers. Most impressive were the King's rowboats.

Partner Weinburg, treasurer of Goldman Sachs Trading Corp., has the reputation of being the best "picker" (of likely issues) in the Street. A small but significant example of his selective ability has been furnished by the annual outings of the Bond Club. At this outing, automobiles are put up as prizes, tickets on the automobile are issued, and the Bond Clubbers trade in the tickets in such a manner that the smartest trader wins...
