Marland Refining Company

Question-Will you kindly give me
what information you have as to stock
of the Marland Refining Company list
ed on the Pittsburgh Exchange .
T. j. T.
Answer-The Marland Refining Com
pany was incorporated on December 9,
1916, in Oklahoma. 1t owns a wooden
refinery at Pasca City, Okla, with a
daily capacity of $500 barrels, and two
casinghead plants with a daily capacity
of 10000 gallons of blended gasoline.
Leases cover about $1,000 acres. II
refines it's own crude petroleum into
finished products and owns $40 tank
cars. Stock outstanding, $5,G9S.235; par
value. SIS. The company has made
great progress in production. In July
it was 198,809 barrels, an increase Of
$3.50 over June. Current earnings are
said to be at the rate of $4,000, 900 an
nnally. During the first six months
of this year the company completed
forty lone wells, thirty seven producing,
and four dry. Dividends are at the rate
OF 10 per cent per annum.

Cause for Disbursement

Question: am the holder of 25
shares of Great Northern preferred
and an so shares Chicago, Milwaukee &,
St. Paul preferred, both of which
purchased for investment some years
ago at much higher prices than they
are selling for at present. The Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has not
paid a dividend since September, 1917,
and the Great Northern is continually
moving downward. l am undecided
whether to sell and invest in bonds or
hold fast. What is your opinion of the
above mentioned stocks &C. C. S.
Answer-You have held on so long
it would seem expedient to await the
return of the railroads to private OPP
Grafton. The position of the Chicago
Milwaukee 4 st. Paul is not in our
opinion wholly due to Federal control.
but If the right kind of legislation is
enacted, which we believe will be the
case, the railroads of this country OUGHT
to make better showing from view
point of stockholders than they have in
the past. 1t doesn't seem that they could
do much worse.

Not Strictly an Investment

Question-Is American Telephone and
Telegraph in the investment class or
a speculation? Is Cosden & Co. good
buy as an investment? The return is
large when the stock dividend is con-
sidered. What reliable Stock Exchange
and Curb houses sell stocks on the par
tial payment plan? Has broker the
right to charge 3 per cent for carry
ing charges in excess Of the per cent
on unpaid balances &C. U.
Answer-We should say that Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph stock is
not an investment in the strict sense.
We would class it as speculative in
vestment. Cosden & Co. stock is spec
ulative. So much uncertainty sur
rounds stocks of oil companies they
are necessarily speculative, and the
yield should be large to compensate for
the risk. Chisholm & Chapman, men,
bers of the New York Stock Exchange,
sell stock on the partial payment plan.
Unless the broker agreed to charge a
certain percentage on debit balances
and nothing more he has a right to a
carrying charge if he cares to make
one. Hayden, Stone & Co. are reliable
brokers.

Transfer of Stocks

Question: bought 200 shares of
stock. The shares are made out in an
ether name. | asked why not in my
name. They replied it did not matter
as long as l held the shares. l am a
newcomer in this line and what l would
ask is this: Is it 0 X and would |
have any trouble if l desired to sell .
A. L. d.
Answer-When you bought your
stock and paid for it outright, your
brokers, if the matter was handled on
a commission basis, should transfer the
shares to your name, using the transfer
stamps which were used on the bill of
sale to them. If the stock is a nom
dividend payer it really makes no great
difference, but If 1t pays dividends
You will have difficulty in collecting
the dividends due you. If the stock is
signed by the person or persons to
whom it is made out, and guaranteed
by New York Stock Exchange firm
you will have no difficulty in selling
it on that account. The minimum
charges on the Stock Exchange are
$3.50 hundred shares for stock selling
between $40 and 1928 a share and $40 a
hundred shares for stock selling above
Sl25 a share. Odd lots in proportion.

Two Railroad Stocks

Question-Would you advise buying
Delaware & Hudson Railroad and
southern Pacific at the present time (:
II possible, would like to know what
their earnings are at present.-R. C.
Answer-The railroads appear to be
discounting the unfavorable situation
and If Congress enacts favorable leeis.
iation all roads will benefit. Delaware
& Hudson offers an opportunity for q
large yield. Southern Pacific sells con.
siderably out of line with other rails
especially since the announcement was
made last week that the government
did not intend to press the appeal of
the suit against the company involving
title to 10000 acres of oil lands in
California. For nine months ended
September 80, 1919, the net after
rentals for Delaware & Hudson was
$1,754,69S,, against $3.02S,996 for the
like period in 1918. The net operating
income of the Southern Pacific Com.
pany for nine months was $26,304,457
against $36,890,671 in 1918.
