Prices of Stocks Puzzle Him

observation-disclosures explain why Stromberg
Carhuretor at per cent is selling at S.
while Studebaker at per cent IL selling
at rs Also why Anaconda per cent is
selling at 55 and Inspiration per cent is
selling at i6?-H. q.
Answer Stromberg Carburetor Com
pany stock, of which there are only
$4,000 shares, is closely held. On April
9, 1920, the New York Stock Exchange
indicated that it might be looking out
for a sorner in the stock when it sent
notice to all Stock Exchange houses
asking them to report Immediately q
full list of their dealings in the issue
from April to 8. The stock was un-
derwritten by Allan W. Ryan and as
sociates. Based upon the average
amount of stock outstanding, 6S,750
for the year ended June 80, 1920, the
company earned the equivalent of 50 90
share. against $7.13 share for the
previous year. There is no accounting
for the actions fsome stocks. Stude-
baker, whose stock is widely dis
tributed. apparently is not subject to
the conditions surrounding Stromberg
Anaconda, one of the oldest mines in
the country, has long dividend rec
ord. 1t is a more seasoned stock than
Inspiration and entitled to better

Fall in Stock B0thers Him

Question: would like little informa-
tion from you in regard to Fisk Rubber
Tire Company. The price has dropped
quite a mule and would like to know
what YOU think Of its financial condition.
And could YOU tell me what dividends are
paid by United Shoe Company common
and United Gas Improvement Of Philadel
Answer-Wc know Of nothing in the
affairs of the Fisk Rubber Company to
cause alarm at the present writing.
The company has reported good earn
ings. Tie stock has dropped in sym
pathy with all tire issues. Such COM
panies have enjoyed unusual prosperity
for the last few years. We do not be-
licve it reasonable to expect such earn
ings in the immediate future. The
stock is speculative, in our opinion.

Answer~A debenturo bond is one
not not secured by mortgage 1t is an
obligation of the company, however.
A convertible bond is one where the
holder has the privilege of converting
1T INTO stock of the corporation up to
certain date and upon certain terms.
We regard New York Central 7 per

cannot, of course. tell what will hap
pen ten years hence. At present the
bend is entitled to a good rating. A
Sl'ooo bond costs at present about
Sl.ozO, besides commission, $3.50. and
tax. We regard American Telephone

United States Rubber Company per cent,
Consolidated Gas Company per cent and

wer-All of the issues you men

We rank them as follows: Chicago &
Northwestern 7 per cent; New York
Central 7 per cent; Consolidated Gas 7
per cent; Western Electric, 7 per cent;
United States Rubber, IN per cent.
Other bonds yielding per cent and
over are: international Mercantile Ma

Has Profit in Erie Common

bought last April for 1875 and wish to

hold for higher price. yesterday this
stock sold for l9N have been told
that the D.. l.. & w. r. K. may take
over the Eric r. r. In this case, would
my stock be liable to rise in value?-E y.
Answer-We make it rule not to
advise regarding speculative operations.
Erie common is, of course, in the specu-
lative class. We would call your atten-
ton to the old Wall Street saying: "No
one ever went broke taking profits"
There is no basis for the report that
the Erie is going to be taken over by the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, we
are informed by the officials Of the COM
panlcs. The story was put out about
the time that the Erie started climbing

United Railways common through it's lili-
gatIon and final comeback. receiving my
dividends regularly. 1t has appeared to be
good 10 me. Then why are not the 1892
Arst consolidated bonds a good invest
ment? Was there not an exhaustive in
Veutory made, showing ample collateral
N ould you advise such an investment
and the same concerning Consolidated Gas
convertible Z per cent?. A. ;.
Answcr-There is considerable dis
cropancy in the prices of Detroit United
stock and bonds. The former, paying 8
per cent, sells for 81, while the A y per
cent bonds, due 1892, sell for about 62.
There has been considerable trouble in
arriving 1T a satisfactory basis upon
which the company should operate. A
vote was taken by the city as to taking
over the property by the city This
was defeated at the polls. The fran
chse situation is not altogether salts
factory, we understand. But We are in
formed that upon the expiration of the
franchise the city may purchase the
property at fair valuation. The road
is now showing good earnings. The
bonds, in our opinion, OTTER very talr
speculative investment possibilities.
Consolidated Gas per cent bonds are
secured by stock of the New York Edi-
son, one of the best Of the subsidiary
companies We regard the issue as a
good investment.

Cucstion-K indy give me your opinion
OF MldNalc Steel and Ordnance Company
common stock. Have been told that this
stock was a good buy at present figures
Also, your opinion of Missouri Pacific pre-
ferred and Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
preferred.-E u. y.
Answer-Midvalc Steel stock has
been affected. together with most in
dustrial stocks, by the price dehation
movement. 1t is speculative because
the stock is highly sensitive to earn
ings. We do not attempt to give ad-
vice upon speculation. We do not rec
ommend it for investment Missouri
Pacific preferred has dividends at the
rate of 3 per cent per annum accumu-
lated since June so, 1918. If this road
can report good earnings in the future
there is q good chance of these back
dividends being paid. st. Paul pre-
ferred is not in our opinion, in such a
good position. although this road will
no doubt show considerable improve
ment.

Soda Fabrik {l1s. | understand that there
must be certain element of chance in
such an investment, depending the huc-

Answer-We cannot attempt to fore

tries. Germany has so much to over
come that it will be some time before
we can expect to see any appreciable
rise in the mark We know nothing
about the corporation you mention.
You must judge these things for your
self. If you believe Germany will come
back this may prove to be a good pur-
chase. The new French s per cent

Chooses Sound Bonds

Queston--Would you consider It a wise
move to sell Consolidated Gas OF New
York and invest the proceeds In Brooklyn
Edison or Detroit Edison, and which is
better? What Is your opinion to the
merits OF the following bonds Cedar Rap
ids Manufacturing and Power Company
first mortgage 6s. due 1895. Mt about IS /;
Duquesne Light Company first mortgage
6s, due 1a+9. at about s5; New Orleans &
Northeastern 4iss Series A. at about 73I3 =?
i II.
Answer-We see no good reason for
changing from Consolidated Gas to
either Detroit Edison or Brooklyn Edi
son. All are somewhat speculative, but
the first has a long dividend record
and its properties are very valuable.
1t is our opinion that most public util-
ity corporations have been through
their worst period for some time to
come. All of the bonds you mention
are sound, we'll secured investments.
You would make no mistake in pur-
chasing them, in our opinion.
