Cash corn receipts were the heaviest in several months, but dealers said they did not seem to have created much hedging pressure.

Wingfield, a shipyard employe, presented a petition with 1,049 names urging council legislation expediting northbound, rush-hour traffic St.

between 39th St. and 70th on Huntington Ave. Complaining that it took him as long to get from 39th St. to 50th St. as it did for him to travel from 50th to his home in Denbigh, Wingfield spoke of the great inconvenience of the situation and the potential danger if a fire or other emergency should arise during the rush hour.

Biggins told council that studies in the past have indicated that Huntington Ave. should be oneway all the way to 50th St. and that parking should be eliminated from the east side of the thorouhfare as far up as Warwick Blvd. He said such proposals, which are similar with ones suggested by Wingfield, were initiated by past councils but reversed because of obiections by merchants and abutting property owners. He added that the proposals for Huntington Ave.

were arrived at in coniurction with state and federal traffic engineers. These matters will be further aired at the hearing.

Both go to low bidders. Basic Construction Co. will do the job from the railroad tracks to Jef- ferson Ave. for $33,300. K.

F. Wilson Co. will do the short job from the tracks to Warwick Blvd. for $8,835. Because the city has already been allotted highway monies from the state and federal governments for the next three years, Biggins told council, he recommended approval now of the state request to make Route 17 a four-lane divided highway for the .6 of a mile distance from the York County line to Interstate 64.

He explained that he would like to have the wider road extended all the way to Jefferson but that this will have to wait another couple of years. City's share of the .6 mile project-to be undertaken next yearwill be an estimated $31,000. In other matters Monday night, council: Balked at "rubber stamping" three nominees to the Peninsula Port and Industrial Authority submitted by Peninsula Industrial Committee. Nominated by PIC were F. 0.

Blechman, Thomas P. Chisman and E. E. Falk. Atkinson asked, "Are we just a rubber stamp for PIC? I move this be tabled until the next meeting to give us a chance to study the thing." A voice vote supported him unanimously.

Approved another $110 for the commonwealth's attorney's telephone and telegraph bills. Heard Mrs. L. J. Palmer ask city's name abroad.

Hooper asked that Biggins check on installing guard rails on the approaches to the bridge on Warwick Blvd. over Lake Maury. Heard Mrs. L. J.

Palmer ask that penalty for late completion of work on her contract to clear Diascund Creek Reservoir area of stumps and logs be dismissed and permit her company to halt operations now with 60 acres still to clear. She explained that these acres will not be under water so debris will pose no trouble in the reservoir. Biggins explained that the matter was bound up entirely by contract and that the supervising engineer has the sole discretion in the matter of not applying penalties. Mrs. Palmer, who says her firm is losing more than $100,000 on the clearing contract, also asked that council consider splitting some of the money it "saved" represented by her firm's bid price and that of the next low bidder.

Councilmen indicated a feeling the city also was bound by the contract. Council agreed to forward to the State Corporation Commission reports of citizen complaint about Vepco utility bills, saying the city has no jurisdiction in such matters. H. S. Bond, 5959 Jefferson spoke on the matter.

Biggins reported that the Peninsula Council of Garden Clubs officers agreed to release some land under lease for use by DMV for a new building. The city manager also read a letter from W. W. Waldrop, Vepco district manager, explaining that about 3,000 customers got bills in January that did not list the Newport News utility tax structure because they had to change the printing plate from the old four per cent to a new 10 per cent setup. Council asked Biggins to have city recreation officials contact the U.S.

Table Tennis Assn. to see what the city can do to contribute to the success of this country in international competition this April in Lyon, France. A 16-year-old Negro lad, Ronald Hobson, of Newport News was selected as one of four to represent this country in the matches.

I bought some shares of Investors Stock Fund on January 17, when the "bid" quotation was less than $18 a share. But I was charged the "asked" quotation of $19.19 a share.

Why? Also, I cannot see how I paid the commission of per cent on the purchase of these shares. Can it be that commission was included in the total of $19.19 a share? A. That's it, exactly. When you buy shares of a mutual fund, your purchase price includes the commission charge. The commission on Investment Stock Fund is per cent on purchases of less than $25,000.

At that point, it dips to six per cent and becomes progressively lower on larger purchases. Your purchase order was executed on Jan. 17. On that date the asked price (selling price) on Investors Stock Fund was $19.19 a share. Now, per cent of $19.19 is just about $1.44.

Deduct $1.44 from $19.19 and you have the bid price for that day $17.75 a share. The $17.75 figure represents the asset value behind each share of the mutual fund on Jan. 17. That is also the price you would have received if you redeemed shares of the fund on that day cashed them in. This is where the price quotations of mutual fund shares differ from the quotations on most securities.

Each mutual fund calculates its asset value at least once each business day. Investors Stock Fund and the other four mutual funds in the Investors Diversified Services group do this after the close of leach day. Your order was filled at a price determined at the close of busi(ness on the day on which your order and the money to cover it arrived at the company's headquarters in Minneapolis. A number of funds have this "pricing" arrangement. Others do things somewhat differently.

With those other mutual funds, your orders would be filled at the last establish price calculated either the previous business day or earlier the same day on which your order was received. By this time you must realize all the details can be quite complicated. But, for mutual fund investor, the is that you buy shares at established asked price and redeem shares at the established price. And don't overlook the fact that prices can change from one calculation to the next mostly in line with the rise or fall in market values of the securities which the mutual fund owns. Q.

Is there any simple formula for arriving at the percentage earned on money invested in securities? I mean a really simple one, not complicated. A. It's quite simple. Just divide the income you receive during a year from your investment by the amount of money you invested. That gives you the "yield on your But, to bring things up to date, you should divide the income you receive from your investment during the latest 12 months by the current market price of your investment.

That gives your "current yield." For instance, say you invested $100 in stock some time ago and received $4 in dividends during the past year. The yield on your investment is four per cent. Say the current market value of the stock rose to $200 and the 2 dividend is still $2 a year. Your current yield is two per cent. (Mr.
