Bethlehem Steel Issues

Queston-Can you inform me why 1t is
that the Bethlehem Steel common stock letter
"B sells on the New York Stock Exchange
from 3 to Z points higher constantly than
letter az? 1 understand the latter is en-
titled to the same dividends as the former
and carries the privilege Of voting, while the
former does not. Which issue do you regard
as the more valuable for investment M D.
Observation-Disclosures Steel IS one of
the companies in which there is con-
siderable speculation. Professional
traders usually choose stocks which en-
JOY an active market at all times When
the floating supply Of an issue becomes
small speculation in that issue de-
creases. Bethlehem Steel has outstand-
ing only $14,862, 900 of class "a" stock,
while there is $44,5S6,OO0 of the class
"B" issue. SO far as the voting power
goes, that is of small Importance to
the speculator The class "B" stock
enjoys an active market on account of
the amount of stock available For
that reason it sells higher than the
class "a" stock. Neither issue is a
good investment, strictly speaking If
you purchase the stock for income pur-
poses, however, the lower priced issue
is the one to buy.

Different classes of bonds are described
Would you kindly point out for me two or
three Of the third-class first mortgage. rela-
lively poor credit. ]. D.
Answer--Tho following first mort
gage bonds Of roads with relatively
poor credit offer unusual speculative
Investment opportunities. The yields
are high comparatively, and in most
cases the bonds mentioned are followed
by junior liens upon which interest is
maintained: Denver & Rio Grande con-
solldated per cent and Az per cent,
1886; Rio Grande Western first a per
cent, 1889; Baltimore & Ohio South
western 3ia per cent, 1925; Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul general 4 per
cent, 1888; Rock Island, Arkansas g.
Louisiana first Az per cent, 1884; St.
Paul Kansas City Short Line first a
per cent, 1941; Chicago Great Western
first per cent, 1887; Missouri, Kan
sas 5 & Texas first 4 per cent, 1890; To-
ledo, St. Louis & Western prior lien
372 per cent, 1925.

Quoted on Percentage Basis

Question-What is meant When the papers
quote japanese government bonds at 5S and
20. when, as l understand it, the smallest
denomination is a $500 bond? Is not the
principal and interest paid in dollars from
New York? Can foreign exchange affect
them at the time they mature Nv. C. S.
Answer-Japanese bonds are quoted
on percentage basis. While the bonds
are payable, both principal and in
terest, in American money in New Y York
at 4.87, a fixed rate of exchange, for
the convenience of trading, the pound
sterling is computed at So. Thus, the
price Of 70 represents 70 per cent OF
5000, or $500. In the case of the G10O
bond (S500), the price is 70 per cent,
or $3.50. The course Of foreign ex-
change does not affect these bonds at
maturity. The present low price has
been caused largely by selling from
abroad

Big Profits in Collars

Questton-ln your opinion are Cluett, Pea
body Co. preferred and Montana Po,ger
preferred investment securities ?-B. H
Answer-The earnings of Cluett,
Peabody Co. have been sufficient for
the last seven years to entitle the pre-
ferred issue to a good investment rat
ing. These earnings have ranged from
1854 per cent (1914) to 1852 per cent
G919). The Montana Power Company's
earnings on the preferred have ranged
from 1871 per cent to 1851 per cent.
The year 1919 was not so good as for
the year previous; nevertheless the
preferred stock is entitled to a good
investment rating. You should watch
your investments carefully, for condi-
tions change.

In dynamite" Class

Question-Would you kindly tell me why
the American Sumatra Tobacco common sells
so low as 80, considering probably 20 per
cent earning on its common stock for the
full year, after providing for preferred stock
dividend and all taxes? (This is estimated
Yrom the earnings of the first six months of
the fiscal year,. In my judgment it ought
to sell at least above the par value If
there anything wrong with this company p
r. M.
Answer-From a speculative view
point American Sumatra Tobacco COM
mon stock has been in the "dynamite''
class. It's fluctuations haye been wide
and the average speculator has been
somewhat timd about dealing in it.
Earnings Of the company have been
good the last few years, particularly
for the last six months, as you know.
Many issues have apparently sold lower
than their actual worth of late. Pos
sibly American Sumatra is one Of
these. The actions of the stock in the
past have caused it's following to be
rather limited, however.

New-York tribune., 1920-01-22
Naranville May Come Hero

Despite the repeated assurances Of
John j. McGraw to the contrary, there
IS feeling both here and in Boston
that Arthur Fletcher may part COM
pany with the Giants in the general
shake-up. The Little Napoleon has ad-
vertised for his veteran infeld.
Certain Boston papers hint at the
possible transfer of "Rabbit" Maran-
Vile from the Braves. They declare
that George Washington Grant is like
~ to succumb to an offer of Fletcher,
Doyle and a promising young pitcher
for the rabbit" The more especially
SO as Maranville makes no bones Of
his desire to transfer his allegiance to
the Polo Grounds. Maranvillc for the
past several years has been plainly dis
satisfied with his Boston berth.
1t is further felt, in Boston and
elsewhere, that, despite Branch Rickey's
loud protests to the contrary, Roger
Hornsby, of the Cards, is likely to be
seen in Giant regalia the coming spring.
1t is argued that McGraw cannot at
ford to permit his team-the perennial
idol of New York--to remain in the
shadow of Babe Ruth. They do say
money got Ruth and that less money
could land Hornsby-that McGraw
will have to step out for Hornsby as
matter of self protection.
