d Wigmore are endeavorng to place
themselves in position where the CON-
Germ will be free from encumbrances
for the stockholders recently voted TO
empower the directors to sell all or any
part of the stock Of any affiliated com

understand they have been WAITING for

" mat is Its capitalization and condition? :?
III you describe the business and classify

Answer--We can give you little in

a surplus of $1,5S3,657. You should

enjoyed great prosperity during the
war period and now we are under
gong a Nriod of dehation Swift &
90 and C6mpania Swift International
Ltd, are we'll managed corporations
II you hold common stocks of such
corporations, you must be prepared for
changes in accordance with business
conditions. We do not believe the
sound industries of this country are
IN danger yet such stocks are specula-
U'e' Aor tne reason cited above. Ihe
business of the Assets Realization is
to take over the affairs of companies
which have failed. to liquidate their
assets; also, to undertake the rehabili-
tation of weak corporations. The COM
pany itself is now in process Of liquida-
ton. In 1919 it discharged SOL ,02S in
principal amounts of indie debtedness In
March, 1920, it was stated that liquida-
tlon was proceeding. On December 81 :,
1919, it showed a profit and loss deficit
of S1,O06,0O0. The capital is $999 900
common and $4,000 per cent cumula-
tive preferred, par $40. No dividends
are paid. The directors are II. A. Davis,
W.. W. Cunningham, w. S. Hood, New

Investor May BE Too Impatient

Question - Please advise mo through
your column on the following matter: I
am thinking OF purchasing a Chicago, Mil
wauNee 4 st. Paul sold bond paying 4 per
cent. OF the issue that natures on June T.
l'2o. Is this good investment and will,
IN your opinion the price appreciate in
accord with the movement of rail stocks?
! am undecided whether to purchase now
and lose six months interest on my money
in savings bank or wait until January.
with the consequent possibility that bond
prices Will be higher then making it nee
essary TO pay more for the bond.--G. X
Answer-St. Paul 4 per cent 1925 are
secured, together with other issues ag-
gregating $17S,775.OOO by first lien on
71S miles; second, on 6,7O7; third. on
LASS, and by pledge Of $154 4,4s9 900 Of
the s1S1, ,645,0 600 Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound first 4 per cent bonds,
l949. This is the first maturing obliga-
ton under this mortgage We regard
the bond as a very fair one What the
form Of financing will be depends
largely upon the operation Of the road
during the next few years. At present
its credit has been impaired somewhat
W regard the road as one which should
show considerable improvement. We
cannot forecast bond prices If money
conditions become easier. practically all
forms of investments should rise. We
do not believe it necessary to be too
impatient. You should have MANY GOOD
opportunities to invest after January
next.

sure of Canadian Crop
Responsible for Selling

The wheat market was under heavy
pressure throughout the greater part
of the day and closing prices were 6
70 Ga cents net lower At the low point
of the session values showed net
losses of 17A to 22a4c from the high
ppnt of the recent rally reached on
last Saturday.
The December position was 16H
above the low point of the season, made
IN October B, while March was only
fHac above the lowest. Confidence was
again lacking and the market felt the
kt1uence Of increased country offers
Which were believed TO reflect pressure
from the banks At least. it was said
that the State Banking Commissioner
