St. Paul Bonds, New Haven Dsbentures

Question: am thinking about buyinc
two bonds each OF Chicago. Milwaukee, &

York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad
convertible debenture 6s, l94s. Can you
please tell me N thes" bonds are vel! Sc
cured and what investment rating you
would give them &C. B.
Answer-St. Paul convertible Az per
cent are secured, together with other
issues, by first lien on 718 miles sec
ond lien on 6,522 miles and by deposit
of securities. The bond is entitled to
fair rating. The New Haven deben-
lures are not secured by mortgage, al
though if any lien is placed upon the
unmortgaged property these bonds
must be equally secured. We consider
them MS offering very fair speculative
investment possibilities, particularly
in view of the fact that the new rates
should greatly help earnings

as high money. The Pittsburgh Steel

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.


The movement to offer bank stocks
at par to raise new capital. which has
been more or less fashionable, has re-
ceived a setback In certain official bank
ing circles as the result of a growing
belief that earnings OF the banks in
1921 will be much smaller In view OF
the prospects for curtailed business and
for money ease. On the basis that there
win be marked contraction in loans and
other opportunities for a bank to make
money, the directors of more than one
bariic express the opinion that additional
capital would be inadvisable. 1t is
pointed out that capital stock sufficient
for the needs of 1920 should be more
than sufficient for 1921.

Tax Losses.

As the days of opportunity to sell
securities TO establish losses grow less
in number, the determination of invest
ors to wait until next month before
buying back grows more pronounced.
One bank yesterday received an order
to sell 5000 shares of stock in a stand
ard industrial company for the purpose
of establishing a loss to deduct from an
income tax return, and this order car
ried no indication of any desire to buy
the security back. Privately the bank
received an intimation that the stock
would be bought back in January. On
the other hand, purchases OF stocks out
right continue, one house reporting a
daily average of 100000 par salue of
stocks for the last ten days There is
said to be a large potential buying
power at prices just under present mar
ket levels.
