University of Virginia Library

Sales

The following sales of securities have been made by
your Committee during the period above mentioned, viz:-

       
$24,000  American Tel. & Tel. Convertible 6's, 1925 at 115 1/2,
realizing a profit of $3,484, or 14.3% on the
purchase price. These bonds were convertible into
the common stock of the company at 106 and as this
stock has been paying 9%, it has advanced until
it recently sold as high as 123. We considered
it wise to realize the profit on the original
cost inasmuch as we would only have received
par for the bonds if they had been held to maturity. 
$ 1,000  Patrick Young Company 8% Notes, 1925, at 101 
$25,000  Albemarle County 5% Bonds, 1947 at 100-7/8 
$12,000  Virginia Carolina Chemical Co. 7 1/2's, 1932, at 105 

Other sales and exchanges will probably be made by
your Committee from time to time whenever it may appear to
the advantage of the University to do so.
