Midland Trust and Savings

Question--What, if any, are the merits of
the stock of the Midland Trust and Savings
Bank. of ST. Paul, Mimi, and. would you
consider 1t good investment? Dividends at
selling at SIS. Is there double liability ?
e. B.
Answer-This institution started do
ing business in July, 1918, under the
banking laws of the State of Mime
sofa. A published statement of cond-
tion as Of December 81 last shows CAPT
tai Of $489,105, surplus $80,53O and de-
posits of $387,534. Included in its re-
sources are $125, 900 deposited with the
Minnesota State Banking Department,
$561,281 in loans and deposits, $4,000
in bonds and securities and S191, ,582 in
cash. The total of resources and liza
bilities is $965,380 each. In January of
this year it acquired controlling in
terest in the Peoples Bank of St. Paul,
which is a member of the Federal Re-
serve system. In this way the Midland
Trust, it is said. will get the benefit of
commercial banking business which it
could not do under its own charter.
II. w. Strickler is president of both in
stitutions. The authorized capital of
the Midland Trust and Savings is
$2,O00,000. The stock, we are informed,
does not have double liability under
the Minnesota banking law The ability
of the management to meet we'll estab-
lished competition is an important ele-
ment to be taken into consideration in
Judging the merits Of the stock Until
this has been demonstrated the specu-
lative character of the shares, we be-
lleve, should be recognized.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-22

through its oil and gas operations. should the
stock not rank about on par? Possibly
you consider the management Of the Amerl-
can Light and Traction AZ superior to thnt
OF the Cities Service Company, or that it's
properties are better revenue producers.
will appreciate your VIEWS. B.
Answer-Our view Is that there Is an
element Of speculation In the shares Of
any company which derives its revenue
largely from the business Of producing
oil. We do not mean that oil COM
panies are necessarily unsound PROPOSE
tons, but simply that certain hazards
arc inherent in the business, and for
that reason oil stocks lack the stability
which we consider prime factor in
fixing the status Of q security as q
pure investment. Wee regard Cities
Service preferred as a speculative in
vestment and believe that it is the kind
Of security which appeals to business
man who keeps in close touch with his
securities and with general conditions
affecting them. 1t is not, however, in
our judgment, "gilt edge" invest
ment. We do not regard the MANAGE
ment of American Light and Traction
as superior to that Of the Cities Serv-
ice Company. The latter undoubtedly
is we'll managed enterprise, and the
reputation of Messrs. Henry l.. Doherty
& Co., its sponsors, is not open to
question.

Middle States Oil

Question-Wi you kindly givo mo some
information about Middle States Oil. also
Texas Chief On?-U. G. r.
Answer--The Middle States OH Com
pany has declared 20 per cent stock
dividend, payable on February %.
Cash dividends at the rate of 10 cents
month are being paid on shares Of
$40 par value. For six months ended
August 81 last the company's net in
come was $226,759 and the surplus
after payment of dividends S173,366.
The stock is listed on the New York
Stock Exchange. The company has
been active in the development Of its
properties in Texas, Oklahoma and
Louisiana. The Texas Chief Oil Com
pany, which is controlled by the Mid
die States OIL Corporation, was incor-
porated in December, 1919, under laws
Of Delaware and is said to own about
112 acres In northwest extension of
Burkburnett district, Texas. and 10000
acres located in Archer, Wilbarger,
Young and other counties In that state.
1t also owns rs per cent Of the Texas
Chief Oil and Gas Company of Texas.

common would advance way beyond the
preferred. and nt the present price offered a

value stocks what is the dividend reckoned
M. w. G.
Answer-(D These bonds are quar-
anteed, principal and interest. by the
international Products Company. which
was organized to raise cattle and en-
gage IN the packing business in South
America, also to produce and sell que
Dracno, an important extract used in
tanning. AS the latter organization is
still in the development stage. we would
regard the bonds of the steamship com
pany as somewhat speculative invest
ment. (2) We would not undertake to
recommend the purchase of any par
tlcular railroad stock, in view Of the
present uncertainty as to how PROMISED
legislation will affect operations and
earnings of the carriers. (3) If you
bought United States Steel common
you would be speculating. The pur-
chase of the preferred stock would
give you an investment carrying with
II greater peace of mind. (4) Dividends
on stock of no par value are figured in
dollars or cents per share.

pears to be a wise one. We believe
that Italy will come back-slowly. per-
haps-but exchange is not likely to

Figuring on Long Pull

ouestion-Please inform me if you con-
slider Pierce Oil as good stock for d long
pull at present prices: I bought ffty-eight
shares Of Castor, Williams & Wigmore at
363k and would like to know if you advise
holding it. selling out now and saving
something. or has it good chance of a
comeback? Has the concern a good standing
end backing in the shipping line ~. K
.Answer-The latest report of the
Pierce Oil Corporation, which was for
the six months ended juno 80, 1919,
showed not quite 4 per cent earned on
the common stock, or at the annual
rate Of about TX per cent This was
before Federal taxes, too. The com
mon stock may be good for long pull,
as the company is said to be placing
earnings in an extensive campaign Of
development. Dividends on the junior
issue arc not likely for some time ap-
parently. We can see nothing in the
way of great encouragement for CASTOR,
Williams & Wigmore stockholders.
Earnings have been very poor and un-
less there Is a considerable change for
the better in foreign trade we see very
little for the stock.

Adams Express Bonds

Question-As . reader Of your interesting
column, write to ask your advice to one
OF my holdings am somewhat doubtful Of
flve bonds Of Adams Express collateral
them sound from an investment standpoint
understand that the collateral back of
these bonds is primarily an indemnity fund
for possible personal liability of stockholders
for debts Of the Adams Express Company
that the officers Of the express company have
the right to substitute other collateral Of
equal value, consisting of stocks bonds
and obligations Of railroad and express COM
panies and notes secured by this collateral.
also understand that in making any sub
stitution they merely furnish certificate
made by themselves of value, which is con-
bondholders themselves. AS tho present
collateral consists Of railroad bonds. would
1t not be safer to sell at the present market
and reinvest In railroad bonds that are
about the Same price-say St. Louis & San
Francisco prior lien. series "a" and Rock
that the principal would be secure in the
latter securities IN. M.
Answer-The Adams Express Com
pany has diversifcation of securities
under its collateral trust bonds. If you
purchase one bond and anything occurs
which causes default you have lost
considerable. There might be default
on several Issues Of the bonds under
the Adams collateral loan without af-
fecting the collateral bonds themselves.
AS matter Of fact, this has been tho
case. We do not SOC any particular ad-
vantage In doing what you suggest. II
you had some other form Of investment
IN mind, not caring for the class Of
securities under the bonds, it would be
a different matter.

Answer-Of1cials Of the Golden Gate

in sight.
