like Ground Rents, automatically increase in
capital value, such as Loans and Debentures,
redeemable at a fixed date and at a certain
fixed price, which can be bought below their
redemption value. There also appear on the
market, from time to time, new Debentures
and Bond issues which are thoroughly well

Geographical Divisions in which industrial
development is fast expanding, and in which
