The low rate of exchange is readily explained by the unprecedented conditions now existing. As the interest and principal of these bonds are payable in Russian roubks, purchasers can expect a profit on their investment with the return of a normal rate of exchange, and further opportunity for profit if the coupons be retained for collection at a favotable time. The record of Russian Government Bonds has always been an excellent one.

Russia has the greatest undeveloped resources of any country in the world. The present war will undoubtedly be an important factor in building up her world position. We consider that these bonds offer an opportunity to invest in a standard security on most advantageous terms. Detailed information will be sent on request. A.
