Answer-~The Advance Rumely Com

10, 1913, as successor to the NJ.
kumely Company, has shown increased
earnings since organization. In 1916
the equivalent of 2.27 per cent was
earned on the preferred stock, and in
1919 l9.2l per cent. Although this
stock IS not seasoned, it appears to offo r
very falr speculative Investment op-
portunities. international Agricul-
tural Corporation preferred stock is
approximately 40 per cent in arrears as
to dividends. AS late as October, 1919,

OF this accumulation being paid off in
the near future. as the company is en-

Answer-The railroad situation in
this country has undergone such a
radical change that we doubt if there
will ever be as large profits derived
from transportation in the future as in
the past. We should not place much
hope upon Chicago & Eastern Illinois
stock. New Haven may come into it's
own again, but price Of $125 looks
very high, considering the conditions
under which the roads will operate
Since your inquiry was received the
directors of the Chicago & North West
ern have found it expedient to reduce
the dividend on the preferred stock. as
we'll as the common, and this is one of
the best operated railroads in the coun-
try. How holders Of Great Northern
preferred will fare remains to be seen.
The Chicago G. North Western incident
has emphasized the speculative posi-
ton which railroad stocks in general
now occupy Your Consolidated Gas,
Bordens Milk, Federal Bearings ard
Electric Light and Bond shares are not
lacking in merit, but are not high

solidated Copper Mines stock is a pure
gamble You probably would not fare
any worse if you speculated in German
bonds. Cosden G. Co. shares are very
speculative. Enthusiasm over oil shares
has waned considerably. Possibly Co.'S
den stock may do better, but our ad-
vice is to keep away from this class of
security for investment purposes.

Seeking Low Priced Railroad Bonds

. tu1sIon-kindly give me some inforrna
ton regarding Baltimore ( Ohio ''4 g M nsr

lS9o' and Baltimore & Ohio goid 4 Der
cent cent also Rock Island. Arkansas & Louisi
per cent, 1853. have about 81 900 to in

income? Is Wilson & Co. 8 per conf =
sale investment? What about Missouri
Pacific general per cent? NV idea 10 o
invest IN a long term railroad bond selling
al Il low price and hope for a raise-P r
Answer-The Baltimore {, Ohio pe :
cent notes, 1929, are secured partly bv
Reading Railroad stocks as collateral.
AT present price they offer q very fair
short-term investment. The Baltimore
ONO per cent bonds and the gold 4
per cent bonds are not very we'll Sc
cured, although in normal times the
credit and earning power of the road
were sufficiently good to give the bonds
good rating. Since the goveNment
took over the roads the Baltim ore G.,
ONO has done very poorly. Of course,
conditions may change under the new
legislation. At present these two
issues are rather speculative. The
Rock Island, Arkansas & Louisiana
bonds are first lien on 364 miles Of
road and are guaranteed by the Rock
Island. This bond went through the
recent Rock Island reorganization un-
disturbed. We regard it as fair in
vestment The Illinois Central 4 per
cent bonds, 1858, are secured by collat-
efai which represents first liens on 802
miles, and, in our opinion, are a good
security, yielding at present over per
cent. Wilson G. Co. first mortgage 6
per cent bonds are we'll secured and en-
titled to a good rating. The converti-
Bile 6 per cent issue is more speculative
although the earnings of the company
are ample at present to care for inter
est several times over. Missouri Pacific
general per cent bonds offer a good
speculative investment opportunity, in
our opinion. Others in about the same
class are Rock Island rcfunding per
cent, Colorado Southern Az per cent
and Denver e. Rio Grande consolidated
per cent.

got at par and they soon went up to
1913 a. later invested several thousands
OF dollars in Goodyear at 1Ol.. I know
the standing of the company is good. Why
then should the preferred per cent go
down to 30 when their common is
now about $4,000 invested in Goodyear
preferred. DO you think t is enough
! see you advise long term railroad bonds:
common with two of preferred. VIII you
kindly advise me whether to invest some
money, even though the preferred is only
great deal Of its present value after $3.50
dividend is declared? Please advise me
stock or invest In some other securities.
What securities or bonds would you ad-
wise me to purchase next to Liberty bonds
c. X.
Answer-There has been no particu-
lar development in the affairs of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company
to cause its preferred stock to decline.
1t is a case of all forms of investments
conforming to the money and credit
situation. When Liberty bonos decline
some 10 points it is to be expected
that preferred issues would decline
also. The Goodyear common stock
sells on a basis which reflects the
earning power of the company The
preferred stock is limited to per cert.
and therefore sells on an Investment
basis. If you have $4,000 already in
vested in this company perhaps you
would do well to diversity your invest
ments by purchasing long-term rail-
road bonds, such as st. Paul general 4
per cent, Rock Island general per
cent, Atchison adjustment 4 per cent,
Illinois Central 4 per cent, 1853. The
following preferred stocks are also
worthy Of consideration: United States
Steel preferred, Central Leather pre-
ferred, American Tobacco preferred
and National Biscuit preferred.

Reserve Bank Ratio
Gains, but Credit
Shows Expansion
Decrease i'm Demand by
Member Banks Helps to
Take Care of Business:
Gold Reserves Increase

Despite slight expansion locally,
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
according to its weekly statement, pub
lished yesterday, revealed a gain in
strength over the previous week. A
decrease in the demands for funds by
Rserve banks in other districts enabled
the local bank to increase it's ratio of
reserves while further credit eXpan-
sion was taking place within the dis
trict.
The banks holding of bills declined
$13,000,000 during the week, and its
gold reserves climbed up $6,000,000,
making the banks ratio of reserves to
deposit and Federal Reserve note liza
bilities, combined, 40.6 per cent. COM
pared with 40.1 per cent a week ago.
and the ratio of gold reserves to net
deposits, after deducting 40 per cent
gold reserves against Federal Reserve
notes in circulation, Alp per cent, COM
pared with 40.2 per cent week ago.
The bank made slightly more than
half of its gold gain through the gold
creased outflow of funds to the interior
by the rediscount route. and also gained
100000 in actual gold in the vault.
The expansion locally was done part
ly through the rediscount of bills Sc
cured by government war obliga tions,
which rose $4,000, 900, while redis-
counts secured by all other paper fell
s12,000,0o0. indicating a switching of
accommodations to rediscounts secured
by war paper to take advantage of the
lower rate. The other item of expan-
sion was in bills bought in open mar
ket, which increased $14,000,000
The members of the local Clearing
House at the end of the week showed
decrease in loans. discounts and invest
ments of S15,264 900 and decrease of
$3.50, 900 in net demand deposits.

No Longer Convertible

Question: would appreciate your
opinion regarding the following securities
Pacific convertible As at s0la, and Cities
Service preferred an Investment for a
salary man who has been thinking about
buying the above on the partial payment
ton as to when these bonds are con-
vertible and at such time Is it necessary
to convert them into common stock or
can one redeem them al par? I would like
also to know what are the denominations
Of said bonds-F. r. w.
Answer-Convertib bonds are not
as a rule secured by mortgage, being
an obligation of the issuing corpora
ton However, in the case of COM
panies of good credit such bonds fre-
quently offer very fair speculative in
vestment opportunities. Neither the
Southern Pacific convertible A per cent
nor the Union Pacific convertible 4
per cent are longer convertible, the
privilege to do so having expired. The
bonds now rank the same as a de-
benture bond. These two roads are
among the few which enjoy high credit
at present While the bonds are not
high grade, for the reasons above
stated, we regard them as safe. The
Union Pacifcs are in $500 and $1,000
denominations. the Southern Pacifics in
S 900 only. The earnings of the Cities
Service Company are ample at present
to care for preferred dividends several
times over The company derives a
large part of its income from oil pro-
duction. which business is more or less
uncertain Based upon present earn
ings The stock is fair investment, in
our opinion.

1000 square feet and another in East
no par value. Initial dividend of so
cents share as paid January 2,

indicating that the stock is on a 81

a surplus of $128,0s2 was reported.
Total surplus is s278,517 We regard
this stock as speculative, with fair
