Despite the market slide, small investors continued to pour more money into mutual funds, investing for long-term gains. Sales of mutual-fund shares in the first quarter rose to a new high of $619 million, up 3⅓% from a year earlier. Increased redemptions were more than matched by new sales. At the end of the first quarter, the 156 open-end investment company members of the National Association of Investment Companies had total assets of $15.3 billion. Their holdings of common and preferred stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange represent almost 4% of the total value...

Thus Anderson, who must raise between $2 billion and $2.5 billion in new money in the next few weeks, is expected to try to raise some of it in long-term bonds, lest...
...Brussels, stocks are well down from their peaks. The slide was led by stocks in African companies, and it has been going on for almost two years. Congolese shares listed on the exchange were valued at more than $3 billion in 1958. By last week they had shrunk to $1 billion.
