United Verde Extension

ouestion--What is your opinion Of Untted
Verde Extension Mining Company stock? !
am the holder of 100 shares of this stock
aud am in doubt as to whether the pros
meets are bright enough to hold it, or. as a
safeguard, sell it in the Immediate future
A. H. X.
Answer-The United Verde Exten-
sion Mining Company has shown in
creased production of late. The sur
MUS copper on hand has been rapidly
converted into cash, thus placing the
company upon a sounder basis. The
demand FOR copper shows improvement,
and it is our opinion that the future
Of this company, as we'll as most other
copper companies, has frightened Son-

Southern Railway Goinr II Alon.

Question: own outright 500 shares
Southern Railroad common stock at about
"a; I hold this for. speculation and am
thinking Of exchanging 1t for 100 shares
Erie common. I know that both OF these
issues are speculative and do not pay
dividends. wish to ask your advice as
long as both stocks are speculative. is not
Erie as safe Southern Railroad for this
purpose? l can hold the Issue for an in
definite period. and am not depending on
this for living.-A 8.
Answer-We see no present advan-
tage in exchanging Southern Railway
for Erie stock. The latter road did
about as badly as any system during
government operation. It seems alto
gether. likely that if Erie should bene-
fit under the new legislation Southern
Railway would also. The directors Of
the latter road have determined to
operate until September l next without
signing up with the government, Rp-
parently believing in the ability Of
the road to so it alone. The Southern
Railway is In better physical condition
than the Erie. In short, We know Of
no good reason for making the sug-
gested change.

Not Responsive to Earnings

Question-About q year asp I bought
100 shares OF Interstate Callahan Mining
at q. was very much encouraged when
this company declared a dividend NOT
long ago, but II has been declining stead
fly since. Do you advise me holding Il,
or switching into something elee7
thought Of switching into some low priced
railroad. Also would like your opinion
about Big Ledge Copper of which I have
1000 shares at 50 cea1s.--J x. :
Answer-The Consolidated Interstate
Callahan Mining Company, now the
Callahan Zinc-Lead Company, has
shown considerable increase In pro-
duction during the past few months.
The dividend declared in February
last (s2 a share) payable In quarter
ly installments throughout the year
1920, was apparently somewhat dis
counted in the price Of the stock Sc
curities Of this character are subject,

Interest on Both Paid to Date

Queston-Will you please Adv.se mo as
to the standing Of Chicago & Alton arst
lien 312s mortgage bonds. and also the
Seaboard Airline Railroad refundings 5s?
Have they ever missed paying their inter
est to date. and what do you think Ia
the reason for the extremely low market
prices on these two bonds Are they good
speculative investment, and what value
Tuptcyq T8%ia they have in the event G. G. n bank n
Answer-Chicago & Alton 31a per
8b miles of road and by second lien on
595 miles, subject to S45,a50,OOO Chi
cago d Alton 3 per cent bonds. The
total issue Of the 31s per cents is $22,-
100000, rather large amount. The
road has not been operating we'll of
late. This, together with the uncertain
ty of the general railroad situation, is
causing considerable depression in the
price of the bonds. If the Interstate
Commerce Commission places fair val
uation upon the railroad properties,
bonds Of this character would seem to
offer unusual speculative investment
paid. There is no issue of Seaboard
Airline refunding s per cent. You
probably refer to the adjustment 5 per
cent bonds. This issue ($25, 200, ,0OO) Is
cumulative. Coupons have been paid
to date. 1t Is secured By general lien
on all the railways of the systems, sub
ject to all other liens on the property.
While by no means we'll secured, the
same may be said of them as was said
regarding the Alton 812 per cents, al
though the latter are nearer the rails
In the event of bankruptcy the Sea-
board bonds would probably act fairly
we'll, as the only issues junior to them
are the two classes Of stocks. If the
railroad situation improves both Of
these issues should sell higher, as
present prices indicate that the situa
tion has been rather we'll discounted.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-02

the present time thi. issue would re
feet the increased earnings of the
company. It so happens, however,
that the speculative market Is not re-
sponsive to good earnings, as may be
witnessed by the action Of United
States Steel stock after the announce
ment of the earnings for the quarter
II you sell your stock and place the
proceeds in low priced railroad stock

Both in About Same Class

Question -- have been reading your
answers to investors with much Interest
and would ask why, In your judgment
does Great Northern preferred and Cnion n
price; also which Of the two would you
rather buy for long pull and do you
think I would make mistake in buying
a few shares OF either or both a. present
prices2 OF course you know e man that
never made mistake never made any
thing. Let know what you think Of
them. h G. w.
Answer - We assume you refer to
Northern Pacific. not Union Pacific.
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
are about in the same class, although
the former has shown slightly better
earning power of late than the latter
Both are more or less speculative on
account Of the uncertainty of the rail-
road situation. We see very little choice
between them.

Answer-We have no official tnforma-
ton that the oil on the Standard Oil of

condition might come about should, we
believe, show plainly why stocks of

no statement Of the company's opera
tions, so are unable to form an intelli-
gent opinion as to the value of the

a good speculation on the theory that
cheapness recommends it. Much talk

fits that were to be derived from the

clsion? 1t is now paying high rate Of
interest. Would you advise selling and
putting the proceeds into such securities
41ss bonds New York Central per cent
eQu!pmeuts and Pennsylvania per cent
bonds?--M NJ X
Answer-The North American Com
pany is q holding company, having a
capital Of 500, ,793,30O Gall one class Of
stock, par 800. Earnings Of the com
pany are derived entirely from inter
ests and dividends on various bonds
and stocks owned. The net income for
1919 was the largest in eleven years or
more, the equivalent of 500 per cent
being earned on the stock. The stock
Is speculative, although the policy Of
tive, per cent having been paid on
the stock for many years past. We do
not think the company will have TO sell
its coal properties. Such case as this
is not similar to the Reading case,
which was a breach Of the Sherman
Antitrust law. You would probably
have higher grade investment If You
owned good bonds, as the speculative
features would be lessened That, Of
course, Is matter for you to decide,
Question--Do you regard International
Agricultural Corporation preferred and
International Mercantile Marine preferred
good stocks for tnves.Uent7-H 9. A.
Answer-The international Agricul-
tural Corporation has shown increased
earning power during the past two or
three years. The preferred stock, 7
per cent cumulative, Is 40 per cent in
arrears The vice president Of the
company recently stated that there was
little likelihood Of back dividends be-
ing paid In the near future, as the
company intends to build up its work
ing capital and conserve cash. Inter
national Mercantile Marine preferred
stock Is per cent cumulative. There
is now ~ per cent due on back divi-
dends on the stock. The policy Of the
directors has been to pay off the accu-
mutation gradually by declaration Of
5 per cent disbursements. The pxesi-
dent of the company recently stated
that there was no definite policy re-
gardlng these payments, however, it
being entirely dependent upon earn
ings OF the corporation. Both Of these
stocks appear to offer speculative in
vestment opportunities.
