A Bargain Hunters Problem

which. in your opinion, is the better and
stronger bond. United States Realty deben-
ture per cent due 1924. or the Peoria &
Eastern first consolidated. due 1870? Also
purchasing one Of them at the prevailing
prices, which I consider to be on the bar
gain counter. especially the Peoria 4
Eastern-H. A. D.
Answer-Neither United States Realty
and Improvement per cent nor Peoria
& Eastern first consolidated 4 per cent
bonds are high grade. The former is
not secured by mortgage, although no
general mortgage may be placed upon
the assets of the company without first
securing the payment of principal and
interest on these bonds. The company
has shown greatly increased earnings
during the last two years owing to the
advance in rentals in New York CITY.
The bond due in four years appears at
present to have very good chance Of
being paid off at maturity either out
OF earnings or by favorable financing.
The Peoria & Eastern bond is q first
lien on 79 miles, a second lien IN 1876
miles and a third lien on 1928 miles
The interest is guaranteed until 1910
(maturity) by the Cleveland, Cincin-
nati, Chicago & st. Louis Railway. It
Is our opinion that railroad bonds gen-
orally, including this issue, are attrac-
tive at present. OF the two we nrefer
the United States Realty bond, as l.
appears to be in stronger position at
present.

In Doubt About B. & O. Preferred

Question-Kindly give mo your opinion
OF Baltimore & Ohio preferred. have
bought fifty shares at 43 for Investment,
and notc tho price Is going down, whereas
tho common seems TO hold up. Is there
any danger. OF the Baltimore & Ohio not
II they pass same would said dividend be
paid later-for instance, like the Mercan-
tile Marine preferred? What do you think
Of WHY'S Overland common as an invest
ment? Would you advise mo to sell my
Baltimore & Ohio preferred Nv. H. g.
Answer-There is still uncertainty
regarding the future operations Of the
railroads, and for that reason we do
not know what the policy of Baltimore
& Ohio directors will be regarding the
preferred dividend. The road has op-
Grated poorly for the last two years.
What it will do under the new legisla-
tion remains to be seen. We do not
regard Baltimore & Ohio preferred as
good investment because of this un-
certainty. 1t is our opinion, however,
that the railroads have seen their
worst days and that the future will be
far brighter. If, however, you feel
that you cannot afford to speculate
upon this matter you had better place
your funds in securities whicn have no
speculative feature. Baltimore & Ohio
preferred is non-cumulative. We re-
gard WHY'S Overland common stock as
speculation. Earnings fluctuate con-
siderably, causing the common issue to
act accordingly.

ing, held for the September term of

the defendant is said to have
purchased properties at figure far

Good Investment for a Widow

Question: have invested several hun
dred dollars In du Pont debenture pre-
ferred stock. selling at $s1 for a 500
share, which pays a per cent dividend.
My mother Is a widow of years and hav-
Ing several thousand dollars to invest
have suggested investing In the above
but before doing so thought 1 would write
for your advice. The reason I am inter-
ested In this stock Is that ] am employed
by the du Pont Company at Arlington
and they offer this stock to employees
only in a limited number of shares Is
this safe investment, and do you think
1t advisable for me to buy? Ii know that
bonds offer good Investments. but believe
that buying long term Investments at
present prices Is good Judgment MY
ability IN the investing line is very poor
so any information you may give would
oe appreciated very much-C. D. S.
Answer-The earnings of E.. T. du
pont de Nemours & Co. give the deben-
ture stock very good investment
rating. Though 1919 earnings did not
compare favorably with those for the
years 1915, 1917 and 1918, last wear
the equivalent of over 10 per cent was
earned on the debenture stock. or moro
than three times dividend REQUIRE
ments. The companys surplus on De-
cember 81, 1919, stood at s71.741.304
the largest in its history. We regard
the debenture stock as a good invest
ment.

Seeks Profits in the Rails

Vuestion-The idea Of investing at pres
ea en-. prices IN some OF the better grado divi-
pectat1cn of being able to sell at a profit
Iew months hence) appears to me as rea-
sonaole, but I am not sufficiently familiar
with railroads to know what are among
tne better values at present prices viii
you please compare the following for this
purpose: Atchison common Norfolk &
6aitimore q Ohio, Chesapeake Ohio?
what has become of the plan to quote
derstood this was to be adopted some time
ago. but still find quotations mado in
Irancs iaad p per dollar II one can afford to
sian internal 6h bonds Of 1915, recogniz-
ing them as pure speculation, do you
consider there is basis for expecting ulti-
person willing to face the likelihood Of
refunding and other postponements may
come ?-P. 7. P.
Answer-The railroad situation Is
still SO uncertain that it is difficult to
forecast its future. Certain railroads
have managed, in spite of the handicap
OF increased operating costs, without a
corresponding increase in rates, to re-
port good returns for the last two
years. The following figures for 1919
are based upon the actual returns un-
der Federal operation, and not upon
the amount of government guaranty:
Atchtson earned the equivalent Of 13. .O3
per cent on the $222,873,500 common
stock, Norfolk & Western 4.83 per
cent, Pennsylvania nothing, Baltimore
q Ohio nothing, Chesapeake & Ohio
nothing. We have not the space to
give the detailed operations of each
road, but in the case of Baltimore &
Ohio it may be noted that the amount
OF government compensation for the
year was $30,031 ,009, equal to about
525 per cent on the common stock after
charges. rentals and preferred divi-
dends, whereas the actual net operating
income was $5,082,426, or. about one
sixth OF the amount actually paid by
the government. Chesapeake & Ohio
showed net of $7,4ea,955, against gov
eminent compensation of $13,888,418,
the latter being the equivalent of about
9.36 per cent on the common stock.
Pennsylvania showed net of $7,613,937,
against a government guaranty of
$53.6O3, ,428, the latter being equivalent
to 8.83 per cent on the stock. What
the new legislation will bring forth
only time will tell. Most roads must
have substantial increase in rates to
meet the enormous operating charges.
Then, too, all the roads need new
equipment. 1t will be interesting to
note how the roads of poorer credit
Will manage to provide for their needs
in this respect. Few of the banks and
trust companies dealing in foreign ex-
change have begun to quote exchange
in the new way, but it is expected the
change will soon be made. 1t is our
opinion that the Russian external loan
tioated in this country eventually will
be paid, because we believe that the
friendship of this country is essential
to Russia. We believe, therefore, that
these two issues of bonds, the 61z per
cent and the 51s per cent, may reward
a speculator who takes the viewpoint
you have outlined.

OuyS 6On06 1O1 HIS Mother

Would you keep it or sell it?-A. A. K.
Answer-While the Lake Erie &
Western first per cent is secured by
first lien on the company's property.
the road is not good Garner. There
tore, the bond is not entitled to q very
high rating. However, it is our opinion
that the new legislation will act as O
stimulus to railroad bonds and that
the unfavorable features Of tho rail-
road situation have been largely dis
counted. The principal of this bond
Is not due for fifteen years. Much NAV
happen before that time, so we cannot
attempt to say how the company will
finance itself in 1895. We do not think
however, that you have made a mis-
take IN your purchase. The St. Paul
general per cent bonds are a good
safe issue, in our opinion. The Rock
Island, Arkansas & Louisiana bonds
went through the recent Rock Island
reorganization undisturbed. We CON
slider them very fair investment. We
do not anticipate a panic in business
in this country.

Her Friends Go In for Oil Shares

Question-Will you please advise mo as
to the standing Of tho Vexillum on Com

Heard is the president? Several Of my
friends have invested and are anxious
moro about it than just from the sales
man and the men who Incorporated It,. I
am interested more In the character Of
the company than in returns at present.
Miss B. S. M. go,
Answer-Stocks in newly organized
oil companies, in our opinion. are not
suitable for investments. They are
highly speculative Let your friends
have the thrills and the qualms of
dabbling in oil shares if they like that
form of amusement Our advice to a
woman investor is to put her money
into SOME of the high grade preferred
stocks and bonds often named in this
column.

Wants to Place S3.000

Question--As reader of The Tribune
the following: After July i I viii have
about $4,000 to invest. and was thinking
of buying $1,000 in Liberty bonds and
twenty shares of Endicott-Jo Johnson pre-
ferred stock. Arc there any other bonds
or obligations ahead of the preferred
stock? And do you consider them first
class as an investment:-C. l.. D.
Answer-Your choices are good, in
our opinion. There are mono better
than Liberty bonds. as you know. En-
dicott-J ohnson has no obligations prior
to the preferred stock. Earnings on
the latter have been the equivalent of
from four to five times dividends on
the issue. We regard it as good
investment.

Good Buys in Railroad Bonds

as to the desirability OF the following
bonds as an investment, considering safety
OF the investment and the probable ap-
probation In value Missouri Pacific Is,
Book Island q. Big -Four q. Norfolk 4

Answer-It is our opinion that the
railroad bond market has very largely
discounted the unpleasant features of
the railroad situation. While money
end credit conditions continue as they
are at present no sustained rise in the
price Of bonds should be looked for.
On the other hand, with rate increases

property valuations. apparent, we be-
lieve most railroad bonds are pur-

:, Answer-1f you are prepared for

chile Steel common stock offers about
as good a medium for speculation as
any other issue. The company has
been highly successful since the start
OF the war, having paid off all accu

is one of the speculative favorites,

Traction Bond Shows a Loss

session Of a bond Of the Chicago City
Railway Company-f1rst mortgage per
cent due in 1927. The general disfavor
In which traction securities are held
prompted me to switch into a first class
bond or preferred stock. but ind this
bond quoted at 5a% @6o. which means q
heavy loss. May ask your opinion TO
whether the worst has not been in all
probability discounted or II you would still
advise a change IA g.
Answer-1t is our opinion that the
traction situation in Chicago has been
fairly we'll discounted. Earnings Of
the Chicago City Railway Company
do not recommend the change.
