Answer-While we are Of the opinion
that the Denver & Rio Grande Railrosd
Will pull through its troubles in so Ear
as its first mortgage bonds arc CON
cerned, we think you should undar.
Stand the Denver situation thoroughly
oefore investing in it's securities. This
ROAD, under good management, puaran-
teed the bonds of the Western Pacific
railroad, which road was built to com
pete with the Union Pacific west from
Denver to the coast. When the West
ern Pacific, after few years, dcfaulted
IN the payment of the interest on the
bonds, the Denver & Rio Grande failed
TO pay the coupons. The Western Pa
cilc was thrown into receivership. The
equitable Trust Company trustee OF
rhe mortgage, brought suit against the
Denver road, and was subsequently
shortly thereafter certain cash. Lib
erty bonds and stocks were procured
from the Denver by the Euuitabls a
trust Company. This Judgment is not
prior to the liens on the railroad prop
erty. There is always the chance. too.
that there may be compromise. It is
our opinion that the Rio Grande Vest
ern first 4 per cent bonds are safe
investment. The collateral trust bonds
are a second lien on the mileage COW
cred by the first 4 per cent bonds. They
are not. of course, so we'll secured. vet
we believe they offer good speculative
investment opportunities. Pere Mar
quette underwent drastic reorganiza-
tlon short time ago. 1t is one of the
few roads able to show better earnings
than the amount of the government
guarantee. 1t has also announced that
it will not sign up with the government
tor the ensuing six months. The prior
preferred stock, paying s per cent at
present, is earning far IN excess of this
There, is still certain amount
of uncertainty regarding railroad op-
Grafton under the new legislation. At
the same time. we are Of the opinion
that prior preferred of the Pere Mar
quette will be able to maintain present
dividends unless some radical change
