Preferred Stocks Preferable

Question: would be deeply grateful il
you could tell me if you thought United
States Rubber preferred was as good an in.
vestment as United States Steel preferre', ;
also with a very lat fortune W.
be better to sell my Atchison common and
my United States Steel common and buy
preferred issues. Also. can you tell me If
there is any hope for dividend from Chi
cage, Milwaukee & St. Paul preferred
L. T.. c.
Answer-We believe United States
Steel preferred IS entitled to higher
Investment rating than United States
Rubber preferred. The former stock is
cumulative, while the latter is not.
We believe it would be wiser t. invest
your funds in United States Steel pre-
ferred. United States Steel common
and Atchson common are both specu-
llaative, and while worthy of considera-
ton they are not in the investment
class. 1t remains to be seen how the
st. Paul road will make out under the
new legislation. We are of the opinion
that the directors will maintain con-
sservatlve policy regarding dividend dis
burseMents.

Gus and that in reality the court had
decided stock dividends were non-tax-
able.
Standard Oil stocks afforded plenty
OF action during the day. Standard of

heard from the company in a long time.
They were to make some kind Of an agree
ment whereby the Metropolitan Petroleum

m very anxious to know what is being

Invincible Oil

Cues stion--Upon the advice Of friend.
with my savings I bought 300 shares of In
vincible Oil at II and $50 shares at 3l
Would you kindly give all information con.
cernlng lnvincihe Oil and advise me what
can do with tx. P. T.
Ans swer-lnvincble Oil is not the
kind Of stock we would advise any one
10 rut his savi-gs into. Ii as rot
paid any dividend as yet, and the com
pany has not issued any financial state
ment which would enable one to Judge
of its earning power. Besides the
capital stock of Sl4 100000. par value
$50, there is outstanding $4,000, 600 Of
g per cent serial notes, maturing over
the period between June next and Janu-
airy, 1924. Also S945,500 of Louisiana
Oil Refining convertible per cent
bonds, due May l, 1927 Recently E. r.
Ratclitfe; president, stated that the
company's holdings in the Homer field
had not been affected by salt water.
Last month it was reported that the
corporation had completed its pipe line
from the Homer field to its rciiaery at
Shreveport, La, and that the run of
crude was at the rate of 10000 barrels
a day. The stock may have speculative
possibilities, but we suggest you keep
IN close touch with Developments af
fecting the company.

Wilson & Co.

Question: am interested in Wilson Com
pany stock. Please advise me of your opin-
ion of the stock as an investment, in view
Of the pending dissolution. ordered by the
Supreme Conrt-G. L. s.
Answer-We do not regard Wilson &
Co. common stock as high class in
vestment. While earnings have been
good and the stock pays $5 per annum,
the company must nevertheless retire
from all business but that Of handling
packing house and dairy products. To
what extent this will affect earnings
we cannot say. The stock, we believe,
partakes more of speculative than Of
an investment character.

Question-Wll you kindly let me know
wna. future prospect IA an Investment are
the Hamburg state Az per cents? Is there
any guaranty ?--p. G.
Answcr-The future Of Germany is
100 enshrouded in uncertainty for us
TO attempt to give rating to Ham
Durg ponds; We consider that the pur-
cnase OF all German securities is spec
ulation, in which the element Of r;sk il
large. That nation has enormous in
IDENTITIES to pay; she has no foreign
credits; she has enormous imitation
we 40 not know who would guarantee
the Hamburg bonds, and if they are
guaranteed, we do not know what good
the guaranty would be.

Political Complications Possible

Queston--You say the Japanese bonds
are safe enough. but there Is always GER
tain risk in the purchase of foreign bonds.
IS the lv25 issue is to be paid on basis
ot N.Y. what other clement of risk enters
into tho purchase of these bonds. outsidc
of war? am holding up the purchase Of
japanese bonds until 1 have your version.
L. r. Mel.
Answer-We referred, when we men
toned that there was always certain
risk attached to the purchase of foreign
bonds, to possible political complica-
t'ons. This, in the case Of the Jap
arese bonds, is very remote, we should
say We believe the bonds offer un-
usual opportunities at present.
