LIKELY TO RETIRE
/. BONDS ON June |
Columbia Graphophone Pre-.
pared to Replace Issues
/ With Preferred Stock.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

It is expected that the Columbia
Graphophone Company will call it's
S2.000,00 first mortgage 6s for pay
ment with the first of June. All ar
rangements seem to have been made
for putting out the new preferred
stock, the proceeds of the sale of
which are to be used for the retire.
ment of the bonds and the liquidation
of a note issue. and, as the provisions
of the mortgage under which the 6s
are issued provides for their retire.
ment at par on any interest date,
failure to call for June 1 would carry
. over the retirement until December L
as the next earliest date.
The circular advertising the pre-
ferred stock issue Of the Column bia
Graphophone was given circulation
this morning. 1t contains very little
information that was not contained
in the annual report. made public in
this column on Monday. although the
statement that the company has upon
it's books $11 100000 untitled orders, or
double the highest record ever reach
ed before, is Of decided interest.
Announcement is also made of the
intention of the company to list the
preferred. and, probably, the common
stock on the New York Stock Ex-
change. Heretofore the securities of
the company have been listed solely
on the Washington exchange.
