ouestion-Are the following stocks to be
considered as in the safe investment
class: Midwest Refining Company, Amer.
lean Express Company, Standard Ooil of
New Jersey preferred, Ohio Oil Company !?
Where one owns Chicago. Milwaukee & st.
Paul Ga shares) preferred and Laclede
Gas co shares), is it better to sell now
hold these stocks a while, with the
hope Of improvement?-W. T. G.
Answer-We do not regard the pur-
chase Of Midwest Refining, American
Express and Ohio Oil as wise for in
vestment purposes. All of these COM
panies are we'll managed. to be sure,
but their earnings are likely to fuc-
tuate widely over period of years,
and as the stocks are sensitive to such
earnings dividends are likely to
change. 1t is best therefore to pur-
chase good bonds and high grade pre-
ferred stocks like Standard Oil of New
Jersey. While we do net attempt as a
rule to advise regarding speculative
issues, it appears to us that both St
Paul preferred and Laclede Gas stocks
have largely discounted the unfavor-
able situations in which these COM
panies have found themselves.

would thank you for your advice as to
whether 1t would be safe to buy Hudson
& Manhattan first refunding fives at Sc u
Or is this more OF speculation? II so,
Will you kindly mention some bonds which h
would yield good interest. yet are safe
nvestments-Miss z. B. s.
Answer-Hudson & Manhattan re-
funding per cent bonds are not high
grade. The high yield proves that.
The road, which recently Increased its
fares, will show ample earning power
to care for these bonds. We regard
them as fair speculative investment.
If you desire to place your funds so
that there will be minimum of risk
you should not attempt to obtain too
high a yield Good bonds or high
grade preferred stocks may be pur-
chased to yield from s per cent to 7
per cent. The greater the yield the
greater the risk, as a general rule.
American Telephone G. Telegraph per
cent 1916, United States Rubber 5 per

Selling Continues,
Prices Go Lower
On Curb Market
Several Issues Decline
Sharply Under Pressure
as Offerings Increase;
Little Outside Interest

Lower prices were reached by several
curb market issues yesterday as the
result of continued lack of buying or
ders and short selling by some of the
professional element, who thought that
further recessions might be made.
General Asphalt broke sharply under
pressure and reached the lowest level
recorded in several weeks, the drop
catching many stop loss orders which
rurther undermined values, and the de-
cine was not checked until covering
operations near the close of trading
tended to rally the stock at 6Sls. 1t
moved up point higher before the last
sale, but showed net decline for the
day of points, one of the most spec
tacular seen on the market since the
recessions of May.
Other industrials, with the excep-
tion of Etna Explosives, were easier
as general rule, although the absence
OF pressure tended to keep prices sta
tionary. Hercules Paper and North
American Pulp and Paper were in
fairly good demand and all offerings
were quickly absorbed. The former
showed fractional net advance, while
the latter was firm at SATURDAYS clos
ing quotation. United States Steam
ship was fairly active and moved with
IN narrow range at steady prices.
Proht taking and pressure combined
to cause lower prices in the petroleum
group. Carib Syndicate getting down
into new low ground when sales were
made at 13. A slight rally carried the
stock up n at the close Most of the
other oils were reactionary, Ryan Con-
solidated getting down to a fraction

Answer-The Frohman Amusement
Corporation, which takes it's name from
Gustave Frohman, has been producing
motion pictures for about six years,
having starred Arnold DAILY, Alice
Brady, H. B Warner and others. 1t
has contract with Lillian Gish. Will
lam l.. Sheriff., president of the cor
poration, stated to The Tribune that
dividends of per cent have been paid
on the $4,000 preferred, except 1918
and 1919, and that the surplus is now
100000. The new issue. which is now
being Sold will be 100000 new per
cent preferred and 100000 common,
par $40 in each case. Four common
shares are given as bonus with each
twenty shares of preferred sold for
$500. We put your question about the
safety Of such an investment up to Mr.
Sheriff. and he frankly admitted that
the nature of the motion picture bust
ness is hazardous from an investment
viewpoint. The producers frequently
put $4,000 to 100000 in a single pic
ture and when it is done it's success de-
pends on the whims of tickle public.
Furthermore in case of liquidation of
motion picture enterprise, there is
mparatively little in the way of as
sets for the stockholders to realize on.
On the other hand, success sometimes 8

Question--What do you think of the

bonds as an investment, also the Common

Answer-The Hershey Chocolate
Company has been a successfully man
aged concern, showing good earning
power. The new issue of 712 per cent

ever, the nature of the latter company's S

Merits of Partial Payment

Queston--Is the partial payment or in
stallment plan. OF buying bonds, involving
the payment OF per cent interest the
unpaid balance, the agreement to make
complete payment within year and the
crediting of interest the bond to the
purchaser, safe. conservative method of
investment If the purchaser is sure of
being able to meet the deferred payments
II the investment banker We're to fail
would the purchaser, despite the lack of
possession OF the bond, be in the same
position as the purchaser of piano on
the installment plan, or would ne merely
be an ordinary creditor for the amount
paid in? Are you following the bonds and
notes conservative investments Vermont
Hydo Electric Corporation first mortgage
per cent, American Public Service Com
pany collateral gold notes. metropolitan
Edison Company first and refunding mort
gage per cent, Continental Motor Cor
poration notes American Light and Trac-
Ton tion notes and Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy joint As I'll. 7.
Answer-The purchase of securities
on the partial payment plan as outlined
in your letter is a very good way for
the small purchaser to acquire invest
ments. The securities are yours as
soon as you make your first payment,
although you have not possession of
them. 1t is difficult to tell what might
happen in the event of the failure OF
the banker. 1t is best, therefore, to
deal only with the firms of highest
grade. The earnings of the Vermont
Hydfo Electrlc corporation are IN
creasing. 1t is, however, a small con-
Germ and we believe you could obtain
bonds enjoying better markets We do
not consider the American Public
Service collateral bonds as very good
investments. The Metropolitan Edi-
sons, Continental Motors notes, Ameri-
can Light and Traction notes and the
Chicago, Burlington e. Quincy bonds
all offer very good short term invest
ment opportunities, in our opinion.
