will have to play Asbury Park a game
to decide the winner OF the East Jer-
sey tournament, inasmuch as both
teams have each lost two games. AS

Mostly Speculative Fayorites

Question-We will thank you for an opih-
t1a ten o. OF the following stocks. Please pick out
1ne 1nn eest hve or six of the entire group for
tlonal Corporation, Bethlehem Steel B. Sin
cIair Consolidated, General Motors, Stutz

Nupocr Company, Indianapolis r. P.
Answer--Not one of the issues you
menslon IS. III our opinion, in the IN
vestment ts class; Many, perhaps all of
.hem' eventually may be bonanzas.
You probably mean speculation instead
of investment. We do not advise re-
gardlng, speculation. There are too
many elements entering into specula-
tlon Tor us to attempt to forecast
prices. We are ready at all times to
tell lnqulrers to the best of our ability
the status of securities. Most of the
stocks you mention are among the
speculative favorites. They fuctuate
back and forth day after day for no
apparent reason that that they are in
tair supply and serve as good me-
dlum for speculation. Most. Most,
maybe all of them, have merit Some
have shown good earning power for
some time past, but you vii find that
they will follow the general trend of
the market. We might analyze each
issue. for you and give you the most
glowing accounts of their earnings,
ETC., but before you had read our reply
to your inquiry something might hap
pen In the events of day which would
send the whole lot of them down from
10 to 20 or even so points. Many peo-
pie who bought just such securities
last fall now write to us asking if we
think this or that stock will ever come
back to the point at which it was pur-
chased. Almost invariably they state
that the purchase was made for invest
ment. They are only deceivine them
selves. They were speculatins all that
time. which any one will be doing If he
purchases the securities you have
enumerated.
New-York tribune., 1920-03-28
A Sad Tale

Question: beg to ask your opinion on the
vale Steel at So. ten shares Kennecott Cop
per at 81 and ten shares International
Nickel common at At, all bought outright
in 916 and still held. What would you sug-
gest about holding any of the above, or sell
ing at the present market and reinvesting
in some other securities with chance of
regaining some of my loss &c. S.
Answer-Perhaps the old saying
about changing horses in midstream
has some application in your case. You
plunged into speculation when you
bought these stocks. Along with hum
dreds of others, they have been carried
to low levels by the torrents of liquida
tion which have swept over the market
from time to time since last November.
The depressed condition of the metal
industries during the last year or so
has, perhaps, added somewhat to the
weakness in this particular class of
stocks. With improvement in the de-
mand for metal products the companies
in which you are stockholder would
probably be benefited, and, in any event,
your stocks would likely be helped by
any movement in the general market
which might cause a rise in other
speculative issues. But We do not at
tempt to advise in regard to specula-
tion, and hope you will not construe
what we have said as an argument
either for or against any change of
holdings which your judgment might
dictate.

to ask for such information as YOU can give
me concerning the Union Oil Company.

information concerning this branch Of their

Company of California, 90 per cent Of
the stock of the Columbia Oil Produc-
Ing Company and 100 per cent of the

No statement of income has been issued

American Safety Razor.

Question--Can you tell me something in a
general way about the American Safety
Razor Corporation? Is the company in u
sound financial condition. and is there prom
we'll oficered2 Where is its chief office
I bought 100 shares at 19 and fraction
and they are now down in the neighborhood
of 10. Would you advise me to sell? Do you
consider it anything more than q speculative
plus? Does. it publish its. account an
or stock dividend7- c. r.
Answer-The American Safety Razor
Corporation was incorporated in Wiz.
ginia in September, 1919, as a consoli
dation Of the Gem, the American and
Kalmpfe Brothers concerns. The com
pany secured control of the Jay &
Johnson Box Company, of New Jersey
1t also acquired factory of $4,000
square feet in Toronto for the manu-
facture of the Gem" "Ever-Resdy'

brushes. The company has plant at

Street, New York City, and at Johnson
and Jay streets, Brooklyn. 1t also has

land. There is no funded debt. Stock
outstanding is $10,800.000, par $25.
Earnings for the latter part Of 1919
averaged about $235.000 month. The
directors are Joseph Kaufman, G. L.
Storm, J. B. de Mesquite, II. Daminam,

sneculatiye for the Present

Question: have under consideration the
purchase of Kansas City Southern Railway
preferred which at present yields more than
per cent Would you he good enough to
tell me whether this is u good purchase
the prospects of the road under the new
transportation act. 1920 if there is any
doubt as to the continuance of dividends on
preferred, ETC.? Why is this stock selling
so low? IL not asking too much. would
you also include similar data on Baltimore
& Ohio preferred &C. e. D.
Answer-The Kansas City Southern
fell considerably short of the earning
for 1919 of the amount which the gov
ernment stated it was willing to guar
antee to the road For this reason and
the fact that the operation of the all
roads under the new legislation is still
an uncertain factor we do not regard
the preferred stock of Kansas City
Southern as a good investment. 1t may
be that great change for the better
will take place in earning power, but
the uncertainty on this point is re-
Elected in the selling price of the pre-
ferrcd issue. The same may bs aid of
Baltimore & Ohio preferred. Such
stocks, we believe, must be considered
as speculative for the present.

Thomas Iron Company

Question: hold several hundred shares
Of Thomas Iron Company stock. Dividend
OF per cent declared last month (Febru-
ary). Would appreciate your valued knowl-
edge of financial condition Of this corpo-
ration. Wish to sell at least some of my
holdings, but notice stock on market Is
quoted at 30-35. l don't care to sell at
that figure. I will be grateful for your opin-
ion and advice.--Mrs. A. L. ID.
Answer-The Thomas Iron Company
was Incorporated in 1904. 1t is small
concern with but $2,500,000 capital, par
$50, The earnings for 1917 were very
good, showing q surplus after dividends
OF $194,628. In 1918, the last report
we have, the surplus dropped to
$41,362. The margin over dividends in
that year, it seems to us, was not
great enough to warrant the stock SELL
ing much above its present price.
Earnings for 1919 may have been bet
ter. So many companies returned large
earnings during the war period that
many investors were disappointed when
subsequent returns we're lower. Owing
to the speculative character Of the
stock, we could not attempt to advise
you what to do.

mand for silver by European countries and

Answcr-Owing to the steady rise in
the price Of silver the world over dur
ing the last three years, a number Of
mining properties that had previously
been closed down because they could
reopened for development. This is
true in the case Of the Eureka Croesus
Mining Company. Until last year its
claims in the Eureka district Of Nevada
had not been worked since 1883. The
company is now said to have consid-
cradle milling ore in sight. The stock
