Two Speculative Preferred Stocks

Question--Kindly tell me II lnternation
al Agricultural Company preferred is a
good investment. What 90 you think Of
American Hide and Leather preferred at
the present price L +.
Answer-Internatio Agricultural
Corporation mas shown great variation
in earnings over the last ten years.
The last TWO years have been success
ful SO that directors have resumed div
idends on the preferred shares, which
are now 40 per cent in arrears. Ru-
mors of plans for paying off their &C
cumulations have been heard recently.
but the only official statement was one
made last fall by the vice-presi siden-,
who stated that the company aims 10
build UP its working capital and con-
serve its cash until it can pay these
accumulations without impairirg the
company'1 resources. We DO not regard
the stock as a good investment, al
Though it probably offers speculative
investment possibilities. The American
Hide aud Leather preferred stock is in
very much the same class as lnterna-
tional Agricultural preferred; accumu-
latiors amount TO Ill per cent We do
not recommend the stock fer invest
ment, although it may offer possibih-
ties similar to international Agricult-
ural preferred.

Answer-We regard the British Co

Canada bonds as good investments.
The income from them IS subject to tax
in this country, including the normal

Chooses Good Railroad Note

ouestion-1 am looking to buy about
ten bonds Of some railroad equipment
issue and have picked louisville & Nash
Vile 10-year - as a prospective purchase.
Do you consider this a sound and con-
servative investment, is there better
purchase that YOU could recommend7
5. G..
Answer-The Louisville & Nashville
l0-year per cent bonds recently
issued are not equipments. They are
secured notes. We regard them as a
good investment, however. There is no
better form OF investment than the
equipment Obligations of good rail-
roads. The principal is usually pay
able in annual installments, and the
title to the equipment remains vested
in the trustee until the last install
ment has been paid. Recent issues
which We recommended are Pacific
Fruit Express per cent 1921 1885;
Union Pacific Railroad 7 per cent 1885;
Union Pacific Railroad 7 per cent 1926
1895; Southern Pacific Railroad per
cent 1924-l935; and New York Central

French Rentes Good Rrv

Queston--Do you consider the Repub-
nc or France 8 per cent rentes reason
ably safe investment? How dc you regard
the Geman municipal bonds and those OF
the City of Vienna ID. D.
Answer-We regard the French Re-
public bonds as Offering very good
speculative investment opportunities
The low price of French exchange gives
the bonds a speculative feature which
may prove valuable. We do not rec
ommend the German and Austrian mu-
nicipal bonds for investment. The un-
certainty surrounding these two coun-
tries is far too great to give these
issues good investment rating, in our
opinion.

Refining Bonds Speculative

Question: have been advised to buy
the per cent and participatin ten-year
gold bonds OF the Earitan Refining Cor
poration. These bonds were originally
subscribed for at ST.. and l am informed
can be purchased around So What is
your opinion M. II. O.
Answer-We are Informed that the
Raritan Refining Company is not yet
operating its rehneres. The company
has some good contracts, although it
has q suit pending against the Island
Oil and Transport Company for break
ing contract. We regard the 7 per
cent bonds as speculation, as the
company is still in the prospective
stage.
