German term or phrase: 6% Vereinigte Stahlwerke 1951 A mit Cps 1.7.40 uff .
This is from a list of investments held by a Swiss trust fund in the early 1950,s. Many of the share holdings end with the words mit Cps and then a date followed by uff.

English translation:Cps = coupons
Explanation:
mit Coupons

These bonds have coupons attached to them; the holder would then cut the coupon off and turn it in to receive his dividend.

coupon
(Fin) Kupon m, Zinsschein m
(ie, detachable part of the certificate exchangeable for dividends)
[Schäfer, Wirtschaftsenglisch]

uff following the date, should probably be u.ff. = und folgende = and following (I believe it's often abbreviated in English as ff.)
