Bow to Rate Utility Bonds

Cuest!on-With reference to the bonds
% =, ms re fennsyivania Ohio Power and Light
com mpany, which note you rate as only
ta1r should like TO asl> what the par
ticular points to be noted about public
utility. What ia the unit for calculating
the basis of the Indebtedness. and how
many times should we'll organized COM
psny earn its charges? or course there
would always be responsibility of the man
asement. and the territory and number
of clients served to consider.--R. l.. NJ.
Answer-There are many features
regarding public utility securities
which should be considered. A public
utility is franchise corporation. If
corporation has long franchise, so
much the better. for the growth Of the
community is almost certain over
period Of, say, twenty years A fran
chise should extend beyond the life Of
the bond. or at any rate it should be
SO protected by sinking funds that the
final payment Of principal will be as
sured. A wellsecurcd public utility
bond should have large equity behind
il. The company should look forward
to growing population. The report
of operations should show a ratio of
operating expenses to gross earnings,
which would indicate that sufficient
funds were being appropriated for
maintenance and depreciation. A we'll
secured bond should show interest
earned three or four times. in our opin-
ion. Although the Ohio
Power and Light bonds show interest
to be earned less than twice. we do not
regard the bond As insecure. Whore
the margin is as low as this, however.
it cannot be. expected that bond can
get the highest rating.

Break i'm Cotton
Brings New Lows
For Spring Months
Southern Selling Pressure
Weakens Market After
Early Steadiness; Large
Stocks Cause Uneasiness

Early steadlness was followed by 4
break in the cotton market which car
ried tho price Of spring and summer
months into new low ground for the
season. This was accompanied by re-
ports Of easier spot markets In The
Southwest, which were eolored by the
selling of spot houses around this local
ring, while there was heavy Wall
Street selling, which may have been
partly due to weakness in tho spot
market. January contracts broke from
l5.O6c to 14.58c, and closed at 14.7sc,
compared with 1896 at the close of
Monday. with the general list closing
steady at net decline of is to 28
points.
March contracts sold a. 144ec, new
low record for that position. and mid
ding quotations in some of the South
western markets also made new low
records for the season.
The further progress Of tho War
Finance Corporation bill may have en-
couraged some of the early buying, as
there is a feeling in cotton trade
circles that under its operation the ak
port movement would probably in
crease.
The available supply Of cotton in
the South is so large that the market
remains sensitive to any sign Of In
creasing pressure from that quarter
Southern spot markets, as officially
reported. were unchanged to 50 points
lower, middling quotations ranging
from 13.25c to l5.75c, with a small
business.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and 25 points lower, at 1b.25c for
middling. No sales were reported.

Investment Rails Probably Rest

Question-Plcase give your opinion Of
tne tin cornpsrsttve rating OF following sec'li-
ferred stocks OF railroads. public utilities
and industrals. I expect to have some
mortgages repaid and have thought Of
a permanent investment, netting from TO
per cent Kindly give suggestions cover
Ing that amount.-H. S.
Answe-Railroad securities have, as
a rule, sold on lower income basis
than either public utility or industrial
Issues. This is because the railroads
are not dependent upon the prosnerity
Of any one line of business Under the
new railroad legislation, the railroads
are expected to receive fair return
on their property valuations. There
fore, good railroad preferred stocks arc
IN strong position. Public utilities
have, generally speaking, been through
rather unsatlsfactory period Most
o. them found that increased costs
were not being offset by increased
rates. with the result that many had ,
difficult time in making both ends meet.
HoWcycr, there appears TO be a gradual
Improvement IN this respect, and we
believe good public utility preferred
stocks may offer unusual opportunlties
at the present time. Industrial pre-
ferred stocks of the seasoned kind
probably come after the railroad
issues. There are so many, however,
that arc not seasoned, that great care
should be exercised in choosing them
The following preferred stocks are
sound, in our opinion: Atchson 5 per
cent preferred. Union Pacific per cent
preferred, Norfolk &: Western per
cent preferred Chicago &, Northwest
ern per cent preferred. United States
Steel 7 per cent preferred. Standard
on of New Jersey per cent preferred
American Tobacco per cent preferred,
United States Rubber per cent pre-
ferred, Electric Bond and Share per
cent preferred, Texas Power and Light
7 per cent preferred, Utah Power and
Light per cent preferred and North
ern States Power 7 per cert preferred.

 SAYS OF HARDING

(Continued from Page One)
 can leadership with attempted trick cry with the American people. Un- der one pretext after another they prevented the readjustment of ma tiona1 conditions. They proposed certain reservations to the League of Nations and then they were abandon ed. No appropriated person can deny that the consequence of aban- doning the league and attempting an entirely new project will be long de- lay. If the voters of the Republi without regard to party desire action they will render a verdict so over whelningly expressive of public in dignation that scheming politicians for years to come will not forget.
 Declaring for square dealing be- tween men and no preference under government" Governor Cox warned against distortion of the basic pri1l- cip1es of the government and added: ::
 "A powerful combination of inter- ests now is attempting to buy gov erpmenta1 control. They are raising
 millions and millions of dollars into a campaign fund. Just how it will be used the future alone can tell. We do know it is being employed now to arouse racial discomfort, to breed
 unrest, and to befog the public mind. The movement is based upon greed and selfshness and if successful will 1 result in an extreme reaction and a disordered society. Rather than | make these groups of men the spons- orS of government they must be named to demean themselves under I the vigilant restraining eye of a gov ernmentaI policy based upon the golden rule. They have their own ! notions about the settlement of in- | dustriaI disputes. They would en- ] force them with their puppets in of l flee. They continue profteering and l re-establish the role of government l by the few. They would establish a l class feeling and making fair and | honest readjustment impossible 1 The proposal of the Democrats to
 cut two billion dollars from fedora | expense, Governor Cox said, also would guard against it's multiplication | many times in illegal profits and 1 high living costs.
