MINING, BUSINESS AND STOCKS.
FOLLOWING WESTERN
METHODS ! s: OF VALUES
Eastern People believe Pr Value of
Stocks VIII bc Done Away
With in u Few Years.

Tt Although not a great deal OF conf
1nent has been heard on the decision
( of the United States Coal & OIL COM
pany to change the form OF Its pital-
ization and take the new name Of Is
land Creek Coal company, the manage
ment may be said to have taken tho
initiative in Issuing securities Win
practically 10 par value. IT Is true
that the common and preferred stocks
of the Island Creek Coal company were
given the normal par value OF 81, but
this WAS only to be In unison with the
s laws OF some states which demand that
securities shall have some par value.
The stocks of the Boston Suburban
Electric companies ana the East Bos-
ton Land company Tor instance, nave
no par value. ANA 1t is the opn.ou
of some OF the lending lawyers of the
country that within the next 10 years
the par value of securities Viii be done
away with and corporations Will simply
issue 50 many shares of stock. That
par value means nothing Is shown by
the laws OF Massachusetts, which pre-
vent public service corporations from
issuing securities without the consent
of the public service commissions which
place the figure at which the securities
shall be sold, although a recent modi-
tions the right to name the selling price
of new securities subject TO the com
MISSIONS approval, says the Boston
Financial.
G The Boston & Maine has issued Sc
curitics from time to time and of all the
common stock which this railrond has
sold, with par value Of 500, tho aver
age price received has been sl55 per
share. or SIS per cent above the par.
About the only way In which the par
Is considered In Massachusetts Is that
In case of liquidation preferred share
holders are entitled to the par value OF |
their stock.
a point worthy of mention in the
matter of giving stocks u par value is
thnt II the par Is made. for instance.
$780, and the stock sells at a much lower |
figure. the difference between the mar
ket price and the par is considered wa
ter. The common stock of the United
States Steel corporation may be mem
toned In this relation This issue sold
around So per share and the par was
800. and thus sa2 were considered as
water. Had the Issue been given no |
rar nothing would have been heard of
the water.
Il Thus the directors Of the United !
States Coal & OIL company decided,
after several months consideration. to
Issue the stock of the Island Creek Coal |
company with the nominal par of 81. |
which will permit them in the future,
If occasion requires, to Issue new Sc
rurities at the market price and thus |
avoid any criticism about stock water
Ing.
The placing of the par value of min
Ing stocks at a nominal figure has
been in vogue In Utah for some time
and the same may be said of Nevada
companies. Colorado has a nominal
par value of 90 cents a share. Iron
Blossom has it's shares Mt 10 cents a
piece. 1t has been the custom in the
hast not to deal with anything that did
hot have q par value OF mt least 81
b. share.
