Public Utilities Investments.

American capital mas also gone INTO
public utilities in large amounts, and
American bankers and their clients
have very large investments in the
Mexican National railways and their
subsidiaries.
The national railways of Mexico
alone have stock issue of $780, 100000
and bonds aggregating $495, 100000.
The Mexican government owns 81 per
cent of the outstanding capital stock
and a substantial amount of the
bonds, and the remainder is owned in
the United States, Great Britain and
France. The preponderant interest,
however, in the minority stock is held
abroad. 1t is said that about 20 per
cent only is held in this country. This
is also true of the bonds.
French investors have been the
hardest hit by the financial difficulties
of the Mexican railways resulting
from the series of revolutions that has
taken place in the last four years.
Cash dividends and interest have been
suspended for several years altogeth-
er, although some of the obligations
have been paid in scrip.
1t is impossible to enumerate all
the mining properties in the northern
part of Mexico which represent Amer
lean investments. The Greene-Cana-
nea is one of the largest Of these. 1t
has a total capitalization Of $60,O00,-
600, practically all of which is owned
in the United States.
The American Smelling and Rein
ing company has enormous invest"
ments in mining and refining plants
throughout Mexico. 1t has principal
refneries at Monterey, Aguascalientes
and Chihuahua. These three reineries
alone have an annual metal capacity
of over 100000 tons. The invest
ments of the company south of the

large investments, although majority
of their properties are north of the
border. The Mexican Petroleum COM
pany, whose plants are entirely south
of the Rio Grande and principally in
the Tampico district, has a total CAPT.
talization of $72,000,000, which con-
sists of $48,000,000 in preferred stock,
$12, 100000 in common stock and $12,-
100000 in bonds. The company Is con-
trolled In the United States, although
large interest is held In Great Brit
ain.
The Southern Pacific railway owns
the Southern Pacific railway OF Mexi-
co, which represents an investment
of $75, 100000. Since the revolution 1t
has suffered enormous losses in in
come from this property.
Lord Cowdray and the Pearson-Far-
Quhar syndicate have placed most of
the English investment in Mexico and
they consist almost wholly of oil prop
critics and public utilities.
Shortly after the Huerta regime was
inaugurated there was fioated in New
York by a group of Wall street bank
ers $25,000000 of Mexican bonds,
which are said to have been sold at
an enormous discount.
The statement has been made in
financial circles, on what is believed
to be good authority, that Huerta sub
sequently issued $75,0O0,0O0 more of
the bonds which he later sold here
through his agents at IS per cent on
the face value. The proceeds, it is
said, were distributed for political
uses in Mexico.
