Passing Impressions Of Finance
By II. I. Bennett

For a patient considered but a
month or so ago to have safely come
out of serious crisis as did the Mis-
souri, Pacific when arrangements were
made for the extension of a pressing
note debt for another year, the pres
ent sinking spell in the roads securi-
ties has unsettled all the high hopes
then raised that it had been saved.
In place of confidence there now pre-
walls grave doubts in many minds
whether it has not become necessary
for the so-called financial doctors of
Wall Street to perform another am
putation on the roads capital obliga-
tions so as to bring these obligations
within those reasonable boundaries
where the property can earn COM
Portable living without the spectre of
how to meet its bills. constantly aris-
ling.
At no time in the Missouri Pacifc's
history has it's securities and those
of the properties with which it is affi-
lated sold at such low prices. Mis-
souri, Pacific stock is under ten dollars
a share, its convertible bonds around
| forty-siX and one-half. Such low bot
toms augur no good. People who own
these securities are not selling them
unless actuated by fear of the future.
Certainly these prices do not follow
speculation for the short account.
Denver & Rio Grande securities are
also scraping the bottom levels. The
| Western Pacific first mortgage bonds
whose interest and principal Is guar
anteed by the Denver & Rio Grande
are under forty-three though when
they were first sold to investors they
brought ninety-six.

in the four years it. has operated, 1t
has not been able to even earn the in
tereSt on its first mortgage bonds. This
has necessitated the Denver & Rio
Grande digging deep down into it's
own pockets to make good the big
deficit. Without this heavy load on
its back the Denver & Rio Grande no
doubt would be to-day paying the
preferred dividend without difficulty
which it had to pass about two years
ago to help out the cripple which it
has been supporting.
How dull and unpsychological busi-
ness is, Is borne out by the weeks
copper producers statistics showing
an increase in metal on hand of over

remains almost as quiet. Yet we may
safely regard both these unsatisfac-
tory showings as shadows of the past,
while other brighter signs from an
other direction portend that a turn in
the road has come leading to better
things. Europe on one hand gives
every indication OF less dependence
upon our financial stores. British con-
soils are steadily advancing in price
It was the British consols which first
fiaunted the signal of a worldwide
liquidation from which this country
could not escape. and we had to take
back bags of our securities. France
