Why Now York Railways 5s Are Low

Question-Pease give mo what informa-
tion you on Now York Railways ad
justment IS. Why arc these bonds selling
so low-around 81? How they Sc
cured? DO you consider them fair spec
ulauve proposition? Do you think they
Will ever be taken caro- OF as to payment.
etc. "A. p.
Answer-New York Railways adjust
meat s per cent bonds, due 1912. Of
which there are $30609 900, are Sc
cured BY mortgage upon the entire
property, subject to $1S,o61 900 first
and refunding 4 per cent and about
$lo00o,0O0 of bonds prior to the first
and refunding per cent, besides some
$l2,500, 600 bonds of leased lines. The
road is in receivership. and no interest
has been paid on the adjustment bonds
since October, 1916. Interest is pay
able only if earned, and is non-cumu-
lative. The road has tried to obtain
an increase in fares, with no success to
date. Perhaps tho situation has been
fairly we'll discounted by the low prices
of the company's securities. However,
we regard the adjustment bonds as
pure speculation, with the future any
thing but bright at present.

Advance i'm Wheat
On Export Buying;
Tone Is Stronger
Appearance Of British Com
mission in Market Signal
for Buying; Canadian
Prices Are Sent Higher

Tho appearance Of the British Com
mission as \ buyer Of wheat after
having been out Of tho market for
months caused q. pronounced change
in sentiment In the wheat market yes
terday and brought about q rally of
GA to cents.
Tho British demand was principally
for Canadian wheat, and the Winnipeg
market led the advance. Export sales
for the day were estimated all the
way from 100000 to 100000 bushels
with scattered buying by Continental
countries, although most of the bust
ness was for British account
Leading export merchants expressed
the belief that buying would be along
conservative lines and that the Brit
lsh buyers would hardly assume the
same aggressive attitude as was ex-
perienccd early In tho season. Shorts
were active buyers throughout the day.
an& while the Chicago market failed
to recover all OF Tuesdays losses, the
tone was much frmer, and 1t was tie
consensus of opinion in some quarters
that the market had finally declined to
a point where it had attracted a more
substantial demand.
Country offers in the Southwest
were again quite liberal and the Kan
sas City cash market showed only
moderate irmness, although the re-
ports current on Tuesday that bank
ers would call loans in tho aericul-
tural district wero not confirmed. A
better tone also prevailed In the -four
market, where prices were slightly
hrmer, although buyers were still in
clined to be timtd about making pur-
chases.

Woman Must Be Conservative

Question--Would like to have your opin-
ion on General Electric 6s Philadelphia &

must be conservative In choice OF invest
ments.--Miss NJ 2.
Answer-General Electric per cent
bonds are debenturcs, not secured by
mortgage But the company's property
is unmortgaged, so that these bonds
are entitled to high rating. The com
pany is very successful concern,
having long dividend record. Phila-
delphia e. Reading improvement per
cent. 1947; Southern Pacific refunding
per cent, Union Pacific first per
cent, Reading general A per cent and
Central Railroad of New Jersey per
cent are very high grade, entitled to
the best of ratings. The three indus
trial bonds you name are sound, in our
opinion, but they are not as good as
the others mentioned. We know of no
reason why they should not be pur-
chased for investment. You might also
consider Bell Telephone of Pennsyl-
vania per cent. 1915, and Canadian
National Railways equipment 7 per
cent, 1885, both of which yield close
to per cent.

Kansas City Railways in Default

Question Please inform mo through
your column the present value Of Kansas
city Railways Company per cent three
year gold notes, due 1921. and your opinion
OF same. Please also state on which date
interest has been paid.--L. r. NJ.
Answer-The Kansas City Railways
Company bonds are in default. The
company, like so many other street
railway companies, was unable to oper-
ate with any success, owing to high
costs and no corresponding increase in
fares. The notes, secured by first mort
gage bonds. as collateral, have no mar
ket. so far as we can ascertain. How
ever, the first mortgage bonds are
quoted about 25 per cent. No plans
for rganization have yet been made
because it is still very difficult un-
dertaking to attempt to raise new cap
ital for street railway properties. The
November 10, 1919, coupon was not
paid.

Mackay and General Electric

Question: shall be glad II you Will
give me an opinion on the relative value
OF the following securities for investment,
taking into consideration soundness first
and income producing second: Mackay
Company common. Mackay Company pre-
fcrred. General Electric common, Union
Pacific common. French loan per cent.
Also, you give any information
about the bonds issued by the firm OF
Straus * Co. real estate mortgages -
Il. NJ.
Answer-Mackay Companies pre-
ferred is entitled to a very fair rating
The common stock is somewhat spccu-
latve because it is sensitive to earn
ings. The same is true Of Union Pa
cihc common, We do not regard them
as sound investment issues. General
Electric stock has a long, unbroken
dividend record. While somewhat
speculative, we regard it as a very fair
investment for business man The
French s per cent bonds appear TO be
sound We can only judge foreign gov
ernment bonds by the past records of
the countries Of issue. Europe is go
ing through troublous times. We have
faith in France. Beyond that we can
express no opinion. The S. W. Straus
bonds we believe TO be we'll secured.
