How Securities Rank.

A well known banker, who writes IL
The North American Review, explains
the nature Of various classes Of In
vestment securities. OF railroa:
bonds, he says:
with the bewildering assortment
railroad bonds. government and mu-
nicipal bonds, public corporation bonds
and Industrial bonds available in the
market, the investor even II predispos-
ed to purchase security of this class
naturally finds considerable difficulty
in making a selection.
Generally speaking, there Is NO
safer security than first-mortgage
bond on ali established railroad which
serves well-settled section of the
country.
Railroad bonds are better than the
bonds of an industrial corporation, fol
instance because the earnings Of a
railroad are more stable, more even
in good times and bad, than are the
earnings Of almost any other form ol

earnings are adversely affected during
