The charged current neutrino production of {phi} and D{sub s}{sup +} mesons is studied, using the data obtained with the SKAT bubble chamber exposed to the Serpukhov accelerator neutrino beam. It is found that the {phi} production occurs predominantly in the forward hemisphere of the hadronic c.m.s. (at x{sub F} > 0, x{sub F} being the Feynman variable), with the mean yield strongly exceeding the expected yield of directly produced {phi} mesons and varying from Left-Pointing-Angle-Bracket n{sub {phi}}(x{sub F} s 0) Right-Pointing-Angle-Bracket = (0.92 {+-} 0.34) Multiplication-Sign 10{sup -2} at W > 2 GeV up to (1.23 {+-} 0.53) Multiplication-Sign 10{sup -2} at W > 2.6 GeV and (1.44 {+-} 0.69) Multiplication-Sign 10{sup -2} at W > 2.9 GeV, W being the invariant mass of the hadronic system. For the first time, the inclusive yield of leading D{sub s}{sup +} mesons carrying more than z = 0.85 of the current c-quark energy is estimated: Left-Pointing-Angle-Bracket n{sub Ds}{sup +}(z > 0.85, W > 2.9 GeV) Right-Pointing-Angle-Bracket = (6.64 {+-} 1.91) Multiplication-Sign 10{sup -2}. It is shown that the shape of measured {phi} meson differential spectrum on xF is reproduced by that expected from the D{sub s}{sup +} {yields} {phi}X decays. An indication was obtained that this expected spectrum underestimates the measured {phi} yield.
