Dividend Well Protected

Question-Kindly advise me relative to
the American Car and Foundry common if
you consider this stock now in the invest
ment class, as l understand this company
has set aside several million dollars to take
care of the common stock dividends for a
number of years to come. 1 am considering
the purchase of five shares of the above
stock, five shares of the Republic Iron and
Steel preferred. five shares of Railway Steel
Spring preferred and five shares of the Vr-
gnia-C Carolina Chemical Company preferred
p. B.
Answer--American Car and Foundry
Company has always been we'll man
aged corporation, with the result that
to-day the common stock has been
placed upon a basis where it is entitled
to consideration as an investment for
one in a position to keep in touch with
the affairs of the company. Of course,
dividends are subject to change, in &C.
cordance with earnings. For that rea-
son we do not like to recommend the
stock for pure investment purposes.
The stocks you mention should all be
watched, particularly the common is
sues. 1t seems to us, though, that you
are purchasing too much of one class
of issues. Try to diversity your invest
ments.

Considers Exchanging Bonds


Question: own several Baltimore &
Ohio first rcfunding per cent bonds due
1895. These were purchased some time ago
at nearly par. I have recently been adj
vsed to exchange these bonds and the fol-
lowing have been suggested to me- Seaboard
Air Line first consolidated per cent 1916:
Japanese government per cent. 1881.
desire your opinion Of the merits Of these
several bonds. Are there any other issues
which you could suggest at about the same
price which are preferable to the Baltimore
4 Ohio? l would prefer a bond with an
enrly maturity. even though its rate Of in
terest is less. What is the present price Of
Scaboard Air Line s per cent Nv. F. B.
Answer-It is difficult to attempt to
advise people how to recoup their
losses. All bonds have been depressed,
particularly railroad issues. There
has been some anxiety regarding Bal
tlmore & Ohio: The road has done
very badly of late and we are not quite
sure that it has been entirely the re-
suit of government operation. We be-
!ieve that many issues of railroad
bonds are to-day selling below their
real value. The Seaboard Air Line s
per cent 1945 are secured by first mort
gage on some 400 miles, The present
price is between IS and 60. The bond
appears to offer a very good specula-
tive investment opportunity. The
japanese bonds are payable at fixed
rate Of sterling exchange. and for that
reason do not, perhaps, offer the same
eign internal loans. Have you consid-
cred the new Belgium per cent Of

Cut Dividends
Quarterly Rates of Four Lead
ing Companies Are
Reduced

The quarterly dividend rates on three
of the four leading porphyry copper
producers were cut yesterday. The
Chino Copper Company, which three
months ago paid rs cents share, de-
clared dividend of 371s cents a share; !;
Ray Conolidated declared q dividend If
Is cents a share, compared with 80
cents three months ago, while the
quarterly dividend Of Nevada Consoli-
dated was cut from 371a cents a share
to 25 cents a share.
The Utah Copper Company, which Is the
leader of the porphyry group. left it's
quarterly dividend unchanged at S1.6O
a share. Charles Hayden, the principal
interest in the porphyries, stated that
the reguar rate was maintained be-
cause of the very strong treasury DO
sltlon of the company, which left "no
ground for discussion as to declaring
the regular dividend"
"lt was deemed wise, however. to
make the reductions that were made in
the other three porphyries," he added,
though with the hope that before the
end of the year 1920 the general finan- e
clal conditions of the country and of
the copper metal market in particular
would be such that the shareholders
might receive for the fiscal and calen-
dar year 1920 the full dividends as
paid in 1919.
ut was the belief of the boards of
directors that with general financial
conditions as they are day, and with
the production of copper still on a
basis of so per cent, with the price still
low and with some problems of back
taxation still to be settled, whatever
dividends were declared this first quar-
ter of the new fiscal year should be on
an ultra-conservative basis"
The dividend reductions announced
yesterday in the porphyry group we're
the first since March, 1919. At that
time Nevada Consolidated cut it's an
nual rate from SO to Sl5O a share,
Chino from 81 to So a share and Raw
Consolidated from So to 50 a share
The Utah Copper Company at that time
reduced its annual dividend rate from
Sl2 to Sc share. All the dividends de-
clared yesterday are payable March 81
to stockholders of record on March 10

A Good Selection

Question-Will you kindly give whatever
information you about the following
stocks: Famouh Players preferred, Enoicott-
johnson preferred. B. f. Goodrich preferred
and Kelly Springfield per cent preferred?
DO you consider them good investments. or
could you advise anything better? I have
$500 to invest-J. s.
Answer-The four issues of preferred
stocks you mention all show a good
margin Of earnings over dividend re-
quirements at presest. While with the
exception of Endicott- johnson none are
what would be called seasoned securi-
ties, nevertheless they are entitled to
good ratings. Conditions are likely to
change, and you must watch your in
vestnents carefully. There are, Of
course, better investments, but the
yield would be less. We have so fault
to find with the selections you have
made.

American Ice Common

Question-Have been contemplating buy
ing American Ice common to hold for a
rise Do you think this advisable and also
do you think they will continue paying the
same dividends? Kindly advise also on
Burns Bros. common.-A. H. NJ.
Answer-American Ice enjoyed it's
best year for the period ended October
81, 1919 1t earned 1897 per cent on
the common stock against 4.42 per cent
for the year previous. Dividends Of d
per cent for the year 1920 were de-
clared. While earnings are likely to
huctuate, nevertheless the stock an
pears to be in fair way of receiving
the same dividend Burns Brothers
earnings for the four months ended
september 30, 1919, were $40 per cent
on the common, or at the annual rate
OF 9.30 per cent, against 1870 per cent
tor the previous year. The company
mad been paying 10 per cent in cash
ana 10 per cent in stock. The latter
quarterly payment was omitted last
month. This stock, in our opinion, is
n'gnly speculative. The directors show
tendency to cut dividends if the
necessity arises.

Livingston Oil

Question-Could you through your valu-
able paper give any information regarding
Livingston Oil, which is sold on the New
York Curb 20. II. S.
Answer-Livingston Oil is reported
to have shown earnings for December,
1919, of $209,000. Considerable pipe
line congestion in the Burknett field
which prevailed at that time Is now
said to have been relieved and the COM
pany will be able to increase produc-
ton substantially. The company's pipe
line from Bnrkett to Walters, Okla, IS
now in full operation and the new re-
hnery at Walters, when completed, will
have a capacity of 5000 barrels a day.

Coal Holdings Valuable

Question-Would you recommend the pur-
chase of Delaware & Hudson Railroad stock,
which Is selling at 90-91 and paying . per
cent?-B H. A.
Answer-We believe that the recent
low prices of railroad stocks did not
reflect true conditions. The sellisg
was largely from abroad in order to
take advantage Of the exchange situa-
ton. We have been friendly to rail-
road stocks for some time past, be-
cause we believed that the railroad
legislation in the last analysis would
be fair. Delaware & Hudson stock at
the prices you mention is worthy Of
considerable notice. The coal proper
ties of the company are very valuable
and do not figure in the railroad return
under the new bill.
