Deliveries, it is understood, will be
gin some time in the spring This is
one of the largest orders ever placed

note as good investment. The Ana
conda Copper per cent notes do not
return a yearly income as great as the
7 per cent notes. Many people prefer
the Z per cent coupon on this account.
However, the 6 per cent notes yield
considerably more to maturity. We
should prefer the 6 per cent notes.

Burns Brothers and c. & o.

Question-How about Burns Brothers
common as business mans investrae nt
the 10 per cent dividend safe? What did
1t show over this 10 per cent az per last
report? VIII You answer the same cues
tion regarding Bethlehem B and Chesa-
peake & Ohio around 90 and 63 respec-
tiyely?-W A j.
Answer-The latest report of Burns
Bros. was for the year ended March
81, 1920. After payment Of preferred
dividends there remained the eQuiva-
lent OF 1l.S7 per cent for the common
stock. After 10 per cent paid on the
common there remained a surplus Of
S146,O09 the smallest in eight years.
Unless this margin is increased appre-
ciably we do not regard the margin
Of safety as any too great. Bethlehem
Steel earned the equivalent Of $40 a
share on both classes of common stocks
for 1919. 1t was unofficially stated last
summer that the first six months of
1920 would show earnings at the an
nual rate of between $25 and $50 a
share. Chesapeake & Ohio is showing
substantial increases since Sep ber
l, when tne roads began operations
without any government compensation.
Based on earnings for the period Sep
tember / to 80, after allowing for esti-
mated seasonal variation, net operat-
ing income for four months to Decem-
bcr 81, 1920, Will amount to S8,43GS55,
which. added to the S9,258 ,944 compen-
sation, VIII give net operating in
come of S17,595,799 for the year Al
lowing for other income, charges etc,
net will be equivalent to 14.44 per cent
on tie common stock The Tribune
cannot attempt to predict dividend pol
icies at this time. The situation is so
uncertain that many corporations
which have earned their dividends for
the year have passed them, believing
that 4 conservation of cash resources
is adVisahe

Woman Desires To Be Careful

Question-Do you consider tbs following
preterred stocks good investment: ::
Crucible Steel. Virginia Carolina Chemical
American Can. Atlantic, Gulf and West
Indies and National Lead? Most all Of
these are below par and sthey look Ike
bargains, hut I want TO be careful.-Mrs
c. II.
Answer-National Lead preferred is
entitled to the best rating of the stocks
you name. 1t has very long dividend
record, although Virginia. Carolina
Chemical is entitled to almost as good
a rating, in our opinion. Crucible
Steel preferred is safe, although it is
not so seasoned as the other two.
American Can also is not so seasoned.
We prefer Crucible Steel to American
Can preferred. Atlantic, Gulf and West
Indies is fair investment, but the
shipping business is an uncertain one,
therefore we do not regard this stock
as being as conservative as the others.
You might also consider Pressed Steel
Car per cent preferred and Corn
Products Refining per cent preferred,
yielding over Z per cent.

Nervous About Freeport Texas

Ouestion-Over year ago I bought out
right al about S4S fifty shares of Freeport
Texas which then paid good dividend.
Immediately I had made the purchase the
dividend was passed and the stock has
been declining since. To-day 1t is quoted
at Il u. People tell me the company is
one of the largest sulphur producing con-
Germs in America, has oil lands and IS n
good financial condition. I have been hold
ing for a reaction and expecting divi-
dend which would pay lie interest on my
money. but, far from improving, things
are going from bad to worse DO you sd
wise me TO sell the stock NOW, take d loss
and invest the proceeds of the sale in
French or Belgian government bonds yield
ing about s per cent; or do you think I
should hold the stock and wait for the
opportunity Of disposing Of Il faVorably2 ?
Is the company so sound that would be
+ 5ns2 Z. taking no risk of losing It aii:--N
Answer Freeport Texas never was
an investment issue. The company is
one of the largest sulphur producers
in the country, but the sulphur busi-
ress proved to be rather disappoint-
ing and the company also entered
upon the oil business to q rather large
extent The Tribune makes no attempt
to advise regarding speculation. The
stock market has undergone an enOr
nous amount of liquidation, but
whether it is over or not we do not
pretend to know. Quite naturally as
long as YOU hold this stock you are
speculating. If you can afford to do so
you may be rewarded by higher prices
than at present. II you cannot afford
to take this position you should sell
your stock and invest in sound issues.
We know Of no present reason why
French and Belgian bonds are not
safe The foreign situation. as we'll as
the domestic situation, is ~erv com
plCX Both these governments have al
ways paid their obligations when due.

FlFTY-EIGHT "CACKLES"
FROM ONE HEN NEST
Record for Largest Egg Find Held by
+. ID. Velyin.

Although hens in the E. D. Velvin
oarnyard have persisted, in advertis-
ing fresh laid eggs each morning for
two or three weeks past, repeated
search failed to locate the percious
hen fruit and the owner of the flock
decided the hens had mastered the art
Of lying and were rafting on the
job"
Mr., Vclvin was loath to believe his
hens were lying, however, so a few
days ago he decided to make a thor.
ough investigation. On moving some
baled hay which had been stored in
stall in his barn, Mr.. Velvin dis
covered a large nest chuck full of
eggs-5S Of them-under the bales Of
hay.
The informer says their may be
"doubting Thomases" among some
who read this, but he has the eggs,
and that is what really counts in
these days of high priced hen fruit.
Moral: Keep on advertising; it
will bring results even tho not al
ways apparent at the time.
