Continued from last week.

In short, preferred stocks have
a claim on the earnings and in
many cases on the assets of COM
pany, junior to that of the bonds,
notes or other obligations, but
senior to the claims of the common
stockholders. Good preferred
stocks usually represent REAL as
sets and not mere good will' or
speculative earnings, as in the case
of many common stocks. The pro-
visions governing their issuance
vary considerably: as rule hold
ers of preferred stocks are entitled
to receive payment at par or at a
fixed rate above par, in the event
of liquidation and the balance is
distributed pro rata to holders of
common.
Dividends on preferred stocks
may be cumulative" or non
cumulative" and preferred stock
holders may participate in SURPLUS
earnings after common stock
holders have received fixed rate.
The cumulative" feature pos
sessed by preferred stock assures
the payment of accrued dividends
on the stock before any disburse-
ments can be made on the COM
mon. With weak concerns the
cumulative feature often proves to
be a distinct disadvantage.
Preferred stocks sell on a higher
plane than common stocks because
of their wider margin of safety,
excepting in cases where earnings
are so large that the higher rate of
: dividend paid on the common
stocks raises it to price level far
above that of the preferred. 1t is
on the fact that dividends must be
paid first on preferred stocks that
the desirability of these stocks de-
pends.
The third kind of stock is de
ferred stock" which, although
frequently used in Europe as an
extra inducement to investment, is
heard of very little in this country.
The owners of deferred stock are
usually the promoters, or organ
izers of company, who virtually
say to the public: I'VE have so
much confidence in our new enter
prise that we agree not to take a
dollar of profit for ourselves until
you, who have purchased the COM
mon or preferred or both kinds of
stock" as the case may be, shall
have received back, in dividends,
bonuses or other wise, the entire
amount of capital you have in
vested in it. After that we, the
owners of the deferred stock, will
share pro rata with YOU"
The only instance that l know of
in America, where this kind of
stock was publicly used, was in
Detroit, where several years ago
large moving picture theater was
to be erected. The promoters in
that case agreed to repay the en-
tire capital invested before alloca-
ting any profit whatsoever to
themselves, and it is fact that at
the end of the first year of its oper-
alton, they not only fulfilled their
obligation by paying dividend of
1O5 per cent, but had a very re-
spectacle stake for themselves.
The last kind of security dealt in
on the New York Stock Exchange
are bonds" and "debentures."
What then is a bond? What is
debenture?
Whereas, preferred stock is es-
sentially distinguished from COM
mon stock in that it is always a
prior charge on the earnings and
sometimes even on the assets of
company, a bond is always a first
charge on the assets of company,
and this first charge is always
definitely secured by a mortgage
on the same. Usually what is
termed a trust mortgage is exc

THE TWO GRANDMOTHERS.


In New York town lady gay,
Is tripping all the hours away;
AT the dansants along Broadway,
A bottle blonde she Is. ] weon
The rouge pot of her face hath seen,
She has a debutantish meln:
Her skirts are short 20 an extreme.
And yet a Grandmamma is she.
Her years they number siNty-ihree.
In LondOntOwn lady rare.
With gracious mein and kindly air
And tender eyes meath snowy hair.
Is working all the hours away
Her share in England's bloody fray
To tend the wounded day by day
Though worn and tired she does moi

And yet a grandmamma is she,
Her years they number siXty-three.
