BONDS
HOLD THEIR OWN
Roads Preferred Stock Also
Maintains Price Well in Face
of General Declines.

The Southern Railway securities are a
very notable instance of prices being
maintained in face of the recent heavy
declines, not only in the speculative quar-
ter of the market but also among stand
ard investment issues. Southern Railway
preferred is selling less than point below
the high of the year. which was 81 in jan
uary, and not more than a point below
the high of December, which was 81 4.
The Southern Railway 4 per cent devel-
opment bonds are equally remarkable for
the way they have resisted the decline in
the bond market Their high price last
year was 1917 and this year 7SA They
are now selling at 77H. The strength
shown by these bonds is particularly
noteworthy because of the large amount
of them held in the Southern railway
treasury TO be sold from time to time as
the roads expenditures require. This
means of course constant additions pros
pectively to the market supply.
The secret of the strength shown in
the Southern Railway issues is that the
company has demonstrated that its traffic
situation has become much steadier and
its operating ratio much more dependable
than used to be the case. Taking the
last three years a very large balance is
consistently shown over and above divi-
dend requirements. In 1910 the surplus
after charges was equal to 91h per cent on
the preferred stock, in 1911 to 11s per
cent and last year to ia per cent. So
far this year net earnings have increased
about $500, 900, indicating that the earn
ings on the preferred stock are running
above IL per cent. The stock sells ex-div-
idend on March %. 1t yields slightly
more than per cent at present prices
which puts the stock in the same class as
Atchison and Baltimore and Ohio, which
are earning about as much and returning
! a like amount
