Both Sensitive to Earning Power

Question-Will you kindly inform me
regarding the financial standing OF the
Famous Players Company, Union Bag and
Paper Company, ana also in regard TO the
safety par value prospects, etc, of their
common stocks 20. T. c.
Answer-The earnings of the Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation have shown
considerable improvement since 1918.
1t pays dividends of s8 per share
year on 214,552 shares Of common
stock of no par value. besides SO per
annum on S10,00o,0O0 preferred stock
Recent earnings have been about five
times the amount of dividends on the
preferred stock, so We are informed
The common stock is sensitive to earn
ing power, which appears to vary con-
slderably from year to year, and there
fore too speculative, in our opinion, to
hold for investment. Union Bag and
Paper Company has shown very good
earning power since it's reorganization
in 1916, 1t earned the equivalent Of
24.04 per cent in 1917 In 1919 it
earned 17.06 per cent on the s10,000,0OO
capital stock. par $100. This stock
also is speculative, because too sensi-
tive TO changes in earning power from
one period to another.

France Expected
ToCet SlO0. 100000
Loan i'm London
Bankers Believe England
Will Help France Meet Its
Share of Anglo French
NJ aturity in October

France in all likelihood will float
loan in London to supply part of the
funds with which to pay off its half of
the Anglo-French loan which natures
on October Is, according to we'll in
formed bankers. Of the $5O0,00O 900
issue, more than S10000O,O0O of the
bonds, 1t IS understood, have already
been bee bought in, leaving about S40O, ,oO0,-
600 to be taken care of in the fall.
With conditions in the American
money markets notably unfavorable TO
borrowing of any kind, France has prac-
ticaily given up all hope of floating
slzable external loan in this country
IN the near future, and poss IDLY for
several years. However, to paw off its
share of the Anglo-French loan with
out the assistance of fresh credit, it is
believed, would seriously retard
frances financial recovery, particularly
through the depletion of its gold re-
serves. French fiscal agents find the
London money market much more re-
ceptive to overtures for a loan, it is
said, than the New Y ork mart
The financial ministries of Great
Britain and France. which are jointly
and severally responsible for the
Anglo-French obligation, have already
reached an understanding regarding the
maturity, and in banking quarters close
to the governments it is believed thai
a part of the arrangement is the eX-
tension of at least $lO0,000.00O Of
credit to France by Great Bri tain
This would leave France with at least
$l0O,0O0,000 of the maturity to take
care of itself. The French government
has mapped out plan for retiring
5000. 100000 francs of paper currency
by the end Of the year by repaying the
Bank of France for advances, and this
should release a substantial amount
Of gold for export if necessary. Under
this program, the government will re-
tire at least 2,00O,0O0,000 additional
francs IN paper currency in 1921. More
over, it is considered likely that France
will liQuidate its American securit es
which we're pledged as collateral
against loans during the war and which
are now free to create dollars. France.
it is said, expects to be able to borrow
money in London at per cent coupon
rate, and it is considered doubtful if
the American investment market would
absorb French. bonds at per cent. The
test will come with the expected fiota-
tion of between $25 100000 and $50
900 900 of Belgian bonds in this mar
ket to meet an acceptance maturity on
June 80
In the matter of the Anglo-French
loan, Great Britain has a special mo-
tive for helping France, because either
is responsible for the full amount in
the event that either is unable to pay
it's share.
Representatives of foreign countries
who have sought in vain to borrow
mocry here predict that America can
not hold its place as great creditor
nation if it declines to continue to abb
sorb loans of foreign countries One

situation. sad that ten years hence
the American people, in envisaging a
recovered Europe. will regret that they
held aloof at this time.

American Public Service Company

Quesi ton-What is the nature of the
business of the American Public Service
company and whore does it operate? Do
you consider its b-year IN per cent coll
lateral notes Series A. a safe, conservative
investment? How long has this company
been established IN. J. l..
Answer-The American Public Serv-
ice Company, controlled by the Middle
West Utilities Company, was organ
lzed October II, 1912 It operates
electric light, power and ice producing
plants in various cities in Texas and
Oklahoma. Besides $2,SO2,1OO first s
per cent bonds, due 1912, the company
has outstanding $1,601 500 Of common
stock and $687 500 preferred stock, both
issues 500 par; 100000 of 7 per cent
notes and $250000 new 7h per cent
notes, which are secured by pledge of
the company's first mortgage bonds.
Current earnings are more than twice
the interest charges on the entire
funded debt. The preferred stock pays
per cent per annum. The company
is small. The new notes are entitled
10 a fair rating based upon the com
pany's present earning power, the Sc
cur1tles behind them being a first
charge.

Outside Market
Under Pressure
In Dull Trading
Oil Shares Among Weak
Spots on Curb; Houston
Off 3 Points; Indus
trials Move Narrowly

Price movements on the Curb mar
ket yesterday failed to fulfill the pre-
diotion of continued reaction from
the selling wave of the previous week.
Saturdays upward swing was cut
short soon after the opening and the
market turned soft with interest at
low ebb. Fluctuations were narrow
except IN two or three instances.
Texas Pacific Oil and Coal and
Houston again developed weakness and
sold to new low marks. The former
held steady for time and it was GEN
orally thought that the inside support
would serve to keep the price up to
the point at which it was checked last
week Pressure was renewed with eff
fective results, and the stock sold off
points to Al, with the rights acting
in sympathy and also touching a new
low at 10. Houston also registered a
point decline and closed weak at the
low OF 62hs. IN fact, most of the oils
went at slight declines except Phillips
Petroleum and Salt Creek. Salt
Creek moved up 2 points, indicating
that the stock had recovered from the
weakness which followed announce
ment of new financing plans.
Industrial shares attracted little in
terest. Price changes were small and
unimportant. General Asphalt eased
off fractonally, but at 64A was higher
than the low of last week American
Woolen rights still sold at fractional
premium, despite the fact that the
stock sold below 95 on the Stock Ex-
cl age.
Submarine Boat reacted a point to
the previous low of IL and United
Retail Candy was weaker. Announce
ment was made yesterday that April
billings of j. L. Case Plow Works Com
pany aggregated $l,100,O00. Prices
have been advanced 1914 per cent, it
was said.
Mining shares were in supply at con-
cessions, but some of the more close
ly held issues received inside support
and rallied after declines.
