Not Earning Its Dividend

Question-Can you give me any infor-
nation IN reference to Delaware & Hudson
Railroad Company? Why Is n stock pay
ing per cent selling around 500 a share
Il NJ. +.
Answer Delaware & Hudson is not
earning its dividend Very few roads
are or have been for the last two years.
|. pays the per cent dividend be-
cause the government compensation is
sufficient to permit the directors to do
so. The depression in railroad shares
is due to the uncertainty as to what
the carriers will earn after September
/. when the government guaranty
ceases. Already we have witnessed the
reduction of the dividend on both
classes of Chicago & North Western
stock For some time we have en-
deavored to point out to investors that
railroad common shares are not in
vestment issues of merit under present
conditions.

Ques' ion--Win you liadly let me know
about The Bethlehem Steel per cent pre-
feFred. also Great Northern Railroad per
cent stock Would either or both be sd fe
invest tWeuts y. 5. s.
Answer The earnings of the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation have been ample
for the last few years to care for pro
ferred dividends several times over.
The company did not begin to show
signs Of greI> prosperity until the war
started, but it has been able to place
large sums back into the property. The
5 per cent preferred stock is not as we'll
seasoned as United States Steel per
cent preferred, for instance. 1t is,
however, entitled to very fair rating,
in our opinion. Owing to the uncer-
tainty which prevails with respect tc
the future earning power of the rail
roads, we regard Great Northern pre-
ferred as more speculative than is de-
sivable for investment purposes.
