Phoenix claims 29053 population and proves it by
a census report But that enumeration was made
in January-not in June. Eliminate the thousands
who go to the Arizona capital in winter in order to

Woman Anxious About Rails

Question: own the following bonds
ana am anxious to hear what YOU think
OF them: American Cotton OH dehenture,
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph, New YORK

prior lien and Southern Pacific first refund .
ing. Also these stocks: Atchison. Union

my own selection eight or ten years ago,
when they were high priced. They repre-,
sent my only income. Therefore | am
anxious to know whether it is safe to
decrease In value.-(Miss) p. II. d.
AnswerAll your bonds are of good
grade. We should have no concern
over them. The railroad stocks are of
the best. but very few companies were
able to overcome the great handicap
OF increased operating costs, with no
appreciable increase in rates during
the last two years. There are two on
your list which did, however-Atchi-
son and Union Pacific We should not
worry over the Reading stock. The re-
cent court decision apparently places
that stock in good position, so far
as value goes. The recent action of
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific directors in maintaining the
regular dividends indicates, in our
opinion, that they view tho future with
considerable hope. Nevertheless. the
future Of the railroads Is so uncertain

Rail Dividend Is Uncertain

Question-What do you think Of Cana
dian Pacific common and Consolidated Gas
(New York; common for small invest
ment of ten shares of each? What has
pulled Canadian Pacific down except
the general trend Of all rail stocks? Can
there be any discernibe reason for its
low just now? Is there any apparent
Likelihood of a reduction in dividends p?
y. L. a.
Answer-Both Canadian Pacific and
Consolidated Gas stocks are specu-
lative, in our opinion. They may have
largely discounted the situations in
which the companies find themselves
and for that reason may be good pur-
chases for the rise. While the Cana
dian Pacific earned it's 10 per cent
dividend by a small margin for 1919
the railroad situation in Canada ap-
pears to be quite as complex as it is
here. While this uncertainty exists
there is no telling what the policy of
directors will be regarding the divi-
dend. Many inquirers mention the
low price of Canadian Pacific stock
not perhaps realizing that Union Pa
ciic sells at about the same figure and
has actually earned its dividend of 10
per cent by very substantial margin

His Fears Seem Unfounded

question: own some shares OF stock
OF General Chemical Preferred The earn
inss OF this company have decreased con-
sidcrably during past years Is this due
TO fear OF competition with German dyes?
DO you regard this preferred stock Il ga fe
and gilt ledge security? Would you ad-
wise selling now or hold 1t Nv. A. N
Answer-We see no reason to be
alarmed over the condition of the Gen.
eral Chemical Company. You must re-
member that during the war period
many corporations earned far more
than during the preceding years. Those
war years should not be taken as o
basis. AS matter of fact, while the
General Chemical Company showed the
equivalent of 1914 per cent earned on
the preferred stock in 1916, against
1918 per cent in 1915, the year 1914
showed 1905 per cent earned Profits,
as you see, were abnormal at that time.
In 1919 1851 per cent was earned, al
most six times preferred dividend re-
quirements, while for the quarter
ended March 81, 1920, the balance for
dividends was $1,552,O06, against
Sl,l12,114 for the same period in 1919.
Hold on to your investment. There
are few better.

Answer-The list Of securities you
have purchased includes some high
grade issues together with securities
of lower grades. The General Motors
debenture is stock, not bonds. This
company has no funded debt. however,
so the debenture stock is to be con-
sidered a fair investment. The Chesa-
pcake & Ohio convertible bonds and
the New York Central per cent bonds
are not we'll secured, but we believe
that practically all railroad bonds
are good purchases at present, because
we believe that the railroad situation
will improve. Taken altogether. we
think your selections are good ones. as
the proportion of lower grade issues
is small. For additional investments
we suggest the consideration of the
following: Illinois Central per cent
1852, Missouri Pacific first rcfunding

Marks Look TemDting

Question--Kindly advise me as to the
German money MARKET I have got an
is now 2.5S Kindly advise me how
and whore | get them. Do I have
fix it up in New York. and at what bank !?
DO YOU think it bad investment? or
course it is kind of rsky.-K. X
Answer-German marks and city
bonds are not sound investments. They
are a gamble on the future ability of
Germany to make good enormous is
sues of paper money after caring for
underlying domestic obligations and
carrying a huge war indemnity. At
present quotations you are getting
odds of almost ten to one on this
proposition. German city bonds are
said to be selling above par in Ger
many. That is, par in paper money.
If you buy bonds you pay the German
government 10 per cent of the yield in
taxes. If you buy currency you get
no yield unless you deposit it in a
German bank at interest. In the case
of both the marks and the bonds you
run the risk that they may be repudi-
ated. How great this risk is we are
not prepared to say. Some dealers are
making spot delivery of these bonds
and others deliver in 60 days to 80
days. The whole situation is further
complicated by the day-to-day and
week week fluctuations in German
exchange, which might afford the
nimblc spcculator a chance for short
turn profits. Intelligent speculation in
this field calls for keen watching of in
tcrnational diplomatic and economic
factors, in our opinion. Houses which
handle marks and German bonds and
checks advertise in The Tribune. The
mark is quoted daily

Answer 49, All forms of Investments
have declined in price, in most cases
owing not to any fault of the various
companies, but because of the money
and credit situation. When United
States government securities sell on q
basis to yield per cent and more, we
do not think you should wonder at the
decline in the stock of trust company.
Some day affairs will return toward
normal. We do not think you should
be concerned over the drop in the price
