Frisco Case Similar
To Many Preceding
If WlncheIl Is ousted as Receiver it
Will Not Be First Instance
of Khu.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-If B. f..
winchell should resign as one Of the
Frisco receivers 1t will not be the
first time that the president of a
railroad has met with sui an expe-
rience.
In January of 1898, the Philadel-
phia & Reading Railroad, supposed
" in a sound financial condition,
sold a block of S5,000000 bonds
without any difficulty, and on Feb
ruary / the company distributed its
regular $4,000, 900 dividend. On Feb
ruary 20, or three weeks later, A. A.
Mcleod, president of the company,
was appointed receiver, after hav-
ing confessed to the court that an
unwieldy floating debt had been
incurred.
In reply to that announcement the
surprised bondhOlders appointed an
investigating committee which re-
suited in the discovery that the
company was a hopeless bankrupt,
because of the reckless policy which
had been pursued by its president.
Mcleod, it was found, had not only
secured control of the Jersey Cen
trail, the Lehigh Valley, and several
coal companies, and vast coal land
holdings in the anthracite district,
but he had bought up the Pough-
keepsie bridge and acquired control
of the New England the Boston &
Maine, and several smaller New
England railroads on a margin. AS
a result of these disclosures Mcleod
resigned as president and receiver.
He was succeeded by Joseph J. Har-
ris, representing the bondholders.

Investors
Sell Old Holdings
Stocks Returning to Wall Street
Bought Years Ago as Shown
by Transfer Dates.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Stocks
thrown over by Europe are begin
ming to turn up on this side. Brokers
to whom delivery is made express
surprise at the antiquity of the trans
fer dates on many of these securities.
These dates show that we are getting
stock back sold to European investors
five, ten and even a dozen years back.
II is inferred from this fact that
the European investor is going deep
down in his strong boxes and that
the quantity Of American stocks car
ried abroad must be the smallest in
very long time. Whenever foreign
investments in our securities are con-
sidered there is always a difference Of
opinion as to whether I he foreigner
makes money on them OF not
Some people imagine that the Eu-
ropeau always takes advantage of our
misfortunes and buys stock from US
cheap, only to sell them back higher
up, but there are just as many VINO
express surprise that Europe should
grow rich buying stocks from US at
top prices and selling at an obvious
loss. just as il Is CUSTOMARY on fire.

It is accepted as pretty well deter
mined that Virginia Carolina Chem
ical will pass the 3 per cent dividend
on its S27.984000 common stock.
During the 1911 and 1912 years the
company maintained the 3 per cent
dividend although in neither year
was the balance above the preferred
sufficient to make a common dividend
entirely conservative. In 1911 the
company earned 81 per cent for
its common, and in 1912 3.1S per cent
30 that in paying per cent it was
practically distributing its entire bal
ance of profits to stockholders.
Had earnings come back strong
this year with a showing Of per
cent to 10 per cent for the common,
continuance Of the per cent rate
would probably have been assured
But the fiscal year is banning out
indifferently. The company will in
fact hardly earn even per cent on
its common. There has been some
recovery IN fertilizer net this year
but q considerable recession in prof
its from the cotton oil department.
Taking the business as whole profits
Will fall somewhat below the 1912
total of $3.557452.
Tonnage OF fertilizers has done
very well this year. The gain in ton
mage moved win vary between per
cent and IT, per cent over 1912 show
ing. putting the aggregate back close
to the 1911 record. But there has
not been nearly the net money in
fertilizer sales that existed three OF
four years ago and for reasons for
which the Virginia Carolina Chemi-
cal is not at all to blame.
There have been rumors in New
York that Virginia Carolina had a
big bulk OF bad debts which it must
charge Off its books and that it was
the existence of some such secret ac
count that was causing the antics
of the stocks In the market This
is denied.
AS matter Of fact the company
regularly sets up a certain percentage
OF gross as reserve for bad debts and
II has rarely ever been obliged to
use this entire years set up for tina;
purpose. For the last 10 years bad
debts have averaged less than 1 per
cent per annum, which is credita bic.
considering the long credits which
are given in the fertilizer industry
