League and other organizations. DR..
John r. Van Schaick, jr., who Is back

cussed Bruce case may be definitely

Difference in British Bonds

Judgment CONCERNING the relative merits of
the British per cert National Loan and
the British I per cent Victory Loan
note that the latter is redeemable at par
through a cumulative sinking fund by mea MS
of annual drawings beginning September l.
1920 If this means that the date of ma
turity is in doubt for any particular bond.
would not such bond be a somewhat un-
desirable nvestmcnt'-T. W. II.
Answer The British government A
per cent Victory Loan. we understand.
represents an issue OF about iov 900
600 Beginning September !. 1920, an
nual drawings of about 2a per cent of
the issue will be made at par through
a cumulative sinking fund. The specu-
lative feature lies in the uncertainty
as to just when ones bonds Will be
drawn Also there is the speculative
feature regarding sterling exchange. so
far a s American holders are concerned.
The per cent national war loans, one
OF which is repayab!e at 102 per cent
on October !. 1922, and the other at
105 per cent on October /, 1927. do not
have the speculative feature of the A
per cent loan Except the exchange
featured. We do not say the form er
issue is unde sira BILE; it simply has the
lottery feature The per cent loans
are more in the nature Of pure invest
ments.

Answer-Neither New York Central
nor Pennsy lvania offers safe invest
ment at present Neither is actually
earning It's dividend But both have
long dividend records. and in normal
times have been rather substantial Sc
curities. SO much depends upon the
legislation to be enacted BY Congress

obtain q square deal and that these
two stocks offer good speculative in
vestment. There appears to be little
to choose between them. although
Pennsylvania stock is more widely
held. The following stocks yield over
per cent? United States Steel pre-
ierred, Central Leather preferred
Standard Oil of New Jersey preferred
National Lead preferred and Ameri-
can Car and Foundry PREFERRED The
following bonds yield over per cent
Wilson & Co. first per cent, Inter
national Mercantile Marine collateral

ties show . substantial margin over
dividends or interest al present. and.
while it would require rather detailed
analysis IN each case in order to elias

AnsWer-The Missouri Pacific Rail-
road has not signed a contract with the
government. No indication has been
given when a contract will be signed
But the road does receive 80 per cent
of the standard return based on the
three years to June 80, 1917. This
amount just about covers the per cent
on the preferred stock, but the actual
earnings are far below the standard
return, and it would appear doubtful
If the directors will declare dividends
on the preferred stock under present
conditions. This stock is cumulative
from June 80. 1918, as You state Be
fore the roads were taken over BIZ the

have been good dividend paying stocks and
prices seem very low. compared with pas
quotations and in comparison 20 other
stocks Is there any reason Why they are
not as high as others? Or any reason whv
they should no. continue to be good div
dend payers and eventually rise TO their old
quotations e. c
Answer - American Telephone and

earned for 1918 For the first eight
months Of 1919 operating income. after
taxes. showed an increase over 1918 for
the like period OF about $500 600.
The company has done considerable

stated that the company viii probabl,

ne margin IS not very substantial.
however Pullman Company for 1919
earned So per cent on its stock. The
contract signed with the government
IS equal TO 9.6 per cent or the Sl2O.-
100000 stock. Its manufacturing busi-
ness is said 70 be duh at present. You
must remember thac there Is a con-
siderable change in the condition Of
