A Trading Value Only

Question: have been adviced 70 buy
stock Of the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company which is being quoted at and
41a. Would it be advisable to buy same as
an investment or for speculation ?-J. M. l..
Answer--The stock you have been
advised to buy is not Interborough
Rapid Transit, but Interborough Con-
solldated, a holding company which
owns the stock of the Interborough
Rapid Transit, the operating company.
All Of the Interborough Rapid Transit

Brooklyn Union Gas

Question: recently purchased twenty five
shares of Brooklyn Union Gas at $50 a
share, and would appreciate an expression
from you as to the possible return from this
investment Do you consider my investment
secure, as we'll as promising in realizing a
profit at some future date "A. F. r.
Answer-You have not made an in
vestment by purchasing Brooklyn Union
Gas stock. The company pays no divi-
dcnds; earnings have not warranted it.
If you have purchased the stock in an
ticipation Of the company doing better
you may have made a good speculative
purchase. 1t remains, of course, to be
seen how the company will fare. The
property is a valuable one, and the
price Of $50 for the stock probably Is
lower than the actual value of the
shares.
