p. Administrator

Wheeling, W. Va, Sept. 29.-De-
claring that Democratic extravagance
and Encouragement had brought the
nation to the brink Of financial dis
aster, Senator Warren G. Harding
told an audience Of several thousand
here last night that the Republican
party proposed to inaagurate a pol.
icy of economy and efficiency that
would put the whole federal govern
ment on a sound business basis.
The Republican nominee quoted
treasury department figures to. SUD-
port his charge Of unwarranted ex-
penditures and asserted that the ad-
ministration's proposal for a new
issue Of treasury certificates would
be to further handicap the money
market and to increase the cost Of
living.

Atlantic Fruit Speculative

2uestion-Will you give your opinion Of
ttra, hrst OF 1920 the preferred stock was re-
omersd on Ct about $S5. Since being listed
gaiss n3 N haye y been recorded at about -:
asrds 40 present earnings presage possible divi-
permanent stock certificates indicate any
thing unusual I'll. W.
Answer~-The Atlantic Fruit Com
pany is still largely in the development
stage. It has used the funds raised in
selling securities to finance the pur-
chase of steamers and built a large
sugar mill. Earnings, we are informed,
are not up to estimates at the time Of
floating the stock. For five months
ended May 81, 1920, the net earnings
were $533,761, or the equivalent Of
about $4.75 share per annum. This
is before taxes. The preferred stock
before retirement paid per cent. We
regard the stock largely as prospect.
We do not expect dividends to be in
augurated until there is considerable
Improvement in earnings. The defini-
tive stock certificates have not been
issued solely on account of delay on
the part Of the engravers. -

Railroad Traffic
Reaches New HigEa
Record i'm August
Carriers Move More Than
1000 Carloads i'm Excess
of Last Years Figures,
Best Ever for the Month

Following up its campaign Of getting
more transportation from existing
railroad fseilisies the Association OF
Railway Executives in the current issue
Of American Railroads has made pub
lie figures which reveal what was ac-
eomplished during August. The picture
as whole, which is one Of united ef-
fort, showed that the carriers last
month moved more than 1000 carloads
in excess OF the August, 1918, record,
which was per cent greater than had
ever been handled in any previous
August.
In July, the last month FOR which
figures were available, the average
mileage a freight car increased to 25.7
miles day, greater by a. miles than
the record for July, 1919. Excerpts
from reports to the association by diff
ferent roads follow:
Pennsylvania-In August the Penn
sylvania system broke all previous rec
ords for the delivery of coal at New
York harbor by dumping 627,o1s gross
tons at its South Amboy, NJ j., piers.
New records for the system have also
been made in coal car loading. For
bituminous coal, the average load has
been raised to 52.35 tons, as compared
with the previous high record Of so. 8
tons. Anthracite loading car has been
raised to 4T.l5 tons, as compared with
the previous record Of A5.T6 tons.
Improve a1ene in the transportation Of
ore from the Lake ports is sypified at
Cleveland, where the number Of cars of
ore loaded from vessels rose from
2,759 in March to 5,045 in May, and
s,S16 in August. Efforts to increase the
movement day of each freight car
have resulted. since July, in adding
nearly two miles day to the average
movement, and three miles a day as
compared with the March to June
average.
Baltimore & Ohio-The averase
freight car movement has been in
creased from 24.3 miles a~day in Janu-
ary to 2S.s miles in March, and 27.5
miles in July. An average of thirty
one miles oay is predicted for Sep
tember
chesapeahe & ohio-rhe averare
tonnage a loaded car during the year
1919 was %1.7 IONS. while for the year
4eS", up % ana including the month
OF June, the average tonnage a car
was 4o.5s tons. The average car mileage
ear day for ell freight cars, in
eiqdlng bad orders for the month Of
Sniy, was thirty seven miles, compared
waEh z7.S miles in July 1919, an increase
OF more than SO per cent.
4, new York Central-During August
The system moved from stations and
connecting lines 927 ,329 loaded cara,
an increase Of 53,129 over the CORE
spending month Of 1919, and the great
est number OF loaded cars moved in
any month Of this year. The loaded
shows that the New York Central lines
auring the FIRST six months of 1920,
despite losses due 10 the April-May
strikes, handled 4,ss3N4s loaded freight
ears against 4,341,7S6 in 1919, an In
crease Of io.64 per cent.

Fair List of Preferred Stocks

Question-Are all OF the following safe
Investments? Southern Railway preferred.
Kansas City Southern preferred, Pierce Oil
preferred, California Petroleum preferred.
General Motors per cent preferred. Ailis-
Chalmers preferred. American Smelling
and Refining preferred and International
Paper preferred? What Is the difference
between International Paper preferred 103
and international Paper preferred stamped
72h u. a. r.
Answer-The preferred stocks, you
mention have merit in varying degrees.
We prefer Allis- Chalmers preferred,
American Smelling preferred and In
ternational Paper preferred to the
others. We do not regard them as high
grade. The yields would indicate that.
Yet we believe for the business man
they all offer fair opportunities. The
unstamped preferred stock Of Inter-
national Paper selling for about los
has 33h per cent OF accrued dividends,
while the stamped stock has none.

Why Allied Packers Bonds Declined

Question--Plesse give me your opinion :
to whether the slump in the 6 per CEN
twenty-year debentures of the Allied Pack
ers is due to fundamental changes in tb5
security underlying the issue whcther
it is chiefly due to the credit situation
and other temporary condit!ons.-R. c.
Answer-There has been a genera |
falling off in the profits of most pac!;-
ing concerns. The Allied Packers
bonds are debentures, not secured by
collateral, and they have probably sold
off because of that. Besides this, it is
probable that the bonds have not been
particularly we'll distributed.

This Law Protects the Husband

o: q married woman are not Considered a
5000 1900 delivery? am informed by my bank
that both husband and wife must execute
inc ssaig gnment. All of which Ia probably
% correct put Lam curious as to the reason.
Answer-The ruling is made by the
New York Stock Exchange that stock
IN the name Of married woman is
not good delivery, in order to con.
FORM to the laws Of the states, all Of
which, we understand, are to this ef-
fect:: There may be a husbands inter
est in the ownership, and thus the law

Seeks Good Bond Yielding 8 Per Cent

Question-Do you regard st. Louis South
western Railway first terminal and unity
ing mortgage 5s. 1852 as safe and con-
servative Investment? The incosed cir
cr!ar makes 1t appear attractive. l am
aware that there three issues ahead
OF 1t, so that 1t must be soma distance
from. the rails. Are there no perfectly
sound railroad bonds maturing in twenty
Ave to thirty years which will yield nearly
8 per cent to maturity at current prices?
w. r.
Answer-St. Louis Southwestern S
per cent are not high grade, being
junior to three liens. The road appears
to be IN way to do much better under
the new legislation and we regard the
bonds as good speculative invest
ment. The higher grade railroad bonds
do not yield 8 per cent. There are two
good issues, in our opinion which do
yield close to this figure. They are
Denver & Rio Grande first a per ceat,
1886, and Rio Grande Western first 4
per cent. 1889. While there is large
judgment against the Denver road,
these issues are in no way affected, in
our opinion. Both are first liens at
low rates per mile and unusually we'll
secured.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-28
Gilt Edge List, Yield 7 Per Cent

ouestion--would you kindly submit list
OF gilt-edge bonds and preferred stocks
yielding about per cent, which, in your
or:nion. is the best the present market
good time to buy or do you think the
financing Of the crop movement will have
a tendency TO lower prices? IF. c. r.
Answer-The following bonds and
stocks yield per cent or more. All
are we'll secured and are dealt in on
the New York Stock Exchanges: Denver
& Rio Grande first per cent, 1886;
Rio Grande first per cent, 1889; New
York Gas, Electric Light, Heat and
Power per cent, 1913; United States
Rubber per cent preferred, Pressed
Steel Car 7 per cent preferred, Vir-
ginia- Carolina Chemical per cent pre-
ferred, Bethlehem Steel per cent pre-
ferred. We do not think that the
movement of the crops, much of which
is over, will have any serious effect
upon investment securities.
