Europe Sells japanese Bonds

Question you kindly tell me why
Japanese per cent bonds. due 1891 are
apparently selling low and dropping still
III price? IL II due TO general market con-
ditons alone to some condition affecting
the bonds! What Is the difference between
japanese hrst AIS and second series 41hs =?
Do you consider these bonds q good invest
mcnt compared to American bonds of vari-
Tor various foreign bonds, does the Quota
ton stand for dollars units OF which ths
bond is issued? How can | select a reliable
broker to deal with C. e. y
Answer--There has been considerable
selling OF Japanese bonds for European
account. This mas caused the depres-
sion in the price. We know Of no other
cause for the decline. The japanese
fist series A1a Per cent bonds are q
rived from the Japanese government
tobacco monopoly. The second series
are u second lien thereon The bonds
ere sterling bonds, payable, principal
and interest, in Japan, London and New
York at the fixed rate of S4.S7 to the
pound. The bonds sell here SIS to the
pound. The bonds in our opinion would
appear to offer good investment. Many
people prefer en- account Of possible 20
litical complications TO invest their
funds ST home. Consult the advertise
ments OF The Tribune and you VIII find

Ample Marxin for Dividends

Quation-Will you please give me your
opinion on United States Smelling and Re-
hntn4 Company preferred as an Investment? !?
Why should It be selling less than parf
Also. please give me your opinion on the
prior preference stock OF tho Pere Marquette
as an Investment. I told that this rail-
road Is turning in good earnings even in
these times.-F. U. ".
Answer-United States Smelling, Re
Hning and Mining Company reports q
steady increase in income. Earnings
for several years past have shown
ample margins over preferred dividend
requirements. 1t was stated recently
that the year 1919 will show $14.07 per
share on the common stock. after de-
preciation, taxes, preferred dividends,
etc. The preferred stock sells for about
95 per cent, or $47.b0 a share 1t would
appear to be worthy Of consideration
at present prices. 1t probably does not
sell on the same basis as many sea
soned industrial preferred stocks for
the reason that its business is more
hazardous. When the Pere Marquette
Railroad was reorganized recently it
was considered by railroad men and
bankers to have been as drastic q re-
organization as had ever taken place
in this country. First mortgage bonds
were exchanged FOR stock in the new
company To-day the road is able to
report Car better earnings than the
amount Of government guaranty.
There Is only s36,32b.00 of funded
debt prior to the prior preferred stock,
which Is per cent cumulative. On
actual income this stock has shown an
annual rate for 1913 of 1888 per cent,
compared with 1854 per cent, which IS
the equivalent Of the government guar
anty.

City of Toxic Bonds

Question-What is your opinion OF City OF
Toxic per cent bonds, selling at about SO :?
Are these bonds considered quite safe? Why
are they selling 80 low p. +.
Answer-The City of Toxic per
cent sterling bonds, due 1852, are Sc
cured by first charge on the annual
net revenues Of the electric tramways
and lighting undertakings Of the City
of Toxic and by general charge on
all other revenues of the city, ranking
equally with the sterling loan Of 1906.
Tho bonds are payable as to interest in
New York in dollars at the current rate
of sterling exchange. The bonds sell at
the present low level on account of the
depressed state of sterling exchange.
They appear to offer good speculative
investment

them in the open market through any
reputable house. You should not hes-
tate, IL you have funds to invest, to go
into any Stock Exchange house adver-
tising in The Tribune You will re-
ceive, we arc certain, every respect and
consideration. More and more women
are handling their own affairs, and
where the matter of the investment Of
funds is concerned you should not
allow temporary embarrassment to in
terfere. We do not know whether or
not the Belgian bonds will be listed
They probably will enjoy an active
market in any event.

A Long Jump

Questior--For man who has $1,000 20
invest and one who has never bought any
hut Liberty bonds or home town bonds how
would you advise? have thought ! would
invest S5GO in Pennsylvania Railroad around
10 and $500 in some other stoc, little
over par. Do you think Pennsylvania Rail
road a good buy at $40? Do they pay divi-
dcncsf What ia your advice? Is Southern
Pacific oc Union Pacific good investment?
j. c. s.
Auswer-It Is long jump from gov
ernment and town bonds to Pennsyl-
yania Railroad stock, particularly at
this time. Pennsylvania Railroad is
not n. present Il good investment. 1t
IS not actually earning its dividends.
ne fact that the railroad outlook is
so uncertain makes the stock s specu-
laton. The road still, pays 50
share per annum. The government
guaranty is sufficient to pay this.
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific are
doing better than Pennsylvania. There
is no telling, however, what they will
do after the roads are turned back TO
their owners on March ! next. Therein
lies the uncertainty and the reason
Why if you bought such stocks you
would be speculating. Why not buy some
seasoned preferred stock OF an indus
trial corporation like American Sugar
Refining, United States Steel, Ameri-
can Tobacco, General Chemical, etc.
These stocks yield from s to 81. per
cent

ArpIo-French Notes

Question---Will yor kindly give your
opinion a. to why the Anglo-French per
cont notes, maturing this year. are. &C
cording 20 my figures. based upon mar
l1et price os 96, ntne months TO run, and 8
per cent interest (tv-o coupons still 10 be
paid, selling upon ~ per cent bassf
Surely these bonds VIII be paid az maturity
p. NJ. jr.
Answer-When the Anglo-French loan
was f1oated here 1t did not prove a sue
cess. In consequence many corpora
tions we're saddled with the bonds. Our
explanation of the present low price,
offering o yield at maturity Of more
than ii per cent, is that there has been
considerable selling OF the issue by
corporations and others, in just the
same way that there has been selling
OF Liberty issues. The present price of
the bonds shows a profit to many buy
ers, and rather than await maturity
they are willinv TO take their profits
The issue is so large $500, 100000 that
the selling pressure has kept the bonds
out Of line with other short term issues.
We know Of no reason why those who
do not care to convert their bonds into
the long term joint issues will rot be
paid at maturity, on October Is, 1920,

THE 1920 INTERNATIONAL
LIVE STOCK EXPOSITION

In the travail of graf industry an
event of Supreme importance will de
velop at Chicago the first wee, of De-
cember. 1t is the twenty-frst anniver-
sary of the International Live Stock
Exposition and will be staged this
wear on an unprecedented scale, both
as concerns numbers and merits.
North America at the conclusion of
the European war was in possession
of bovine and ovine seed stock of in
calculable value and the uppertendom
of this national possession will be dis
played at Chicago this year. In view
of impending meat scarcity, the prob
lem of replenishing the national lard
er is of more Importance than ever
at this juncture.
Live stock in common with other
industries has passed through a per-
iod of defiation and REIMBURSEMENT. The
new basis Of production cost interest
is reviving and will accentuate as the
fact becomes apparent that within the
next five years there will not be
enough beef, pork or mutton produced
in the United States to maintain pre-
war consumption.
Profit in live stock production here
after will depend on quality. The
| function of the International is i'm
provement of the herds and fiocks of
the country-a task to which the
agrarian interests must now address
itself vigorously. On this account the
1920 display possesses more than usu-
al interest, concerning not only pro-
ducers but consumers.
AS a spectacle of animal life this
wears International will exceed in
scope and magnificence all former
efforts in the show ring on this CONT
nent or Europe.
More closely associated than ever
before are live stock and grain pro.
duction problems; hence this years
corn show, made possible by liberia
| donation from the Chicago Board Of
Trade, will be staged on a more extern
sive scale than last year. Corn makes
live stock raising possible; without
live stock "King Corn" would b.
minus stout prop.
Every up-to-date farmer should at
tend the 1920 International Live
Stock Exposition at the Union Stool
Yards, Chicago, November 81 to De
cember 4th.

The Pierce County Shorthorn
Breeders association held their an
nual meeting the same afternoon as
the Jersey breeders met. They elected
the same officers that they had last
year. Special committees were APP
pointed for their sale and membership
campaign. Plans were also made for
the improvement of the Shorthorn
breed in Pierce County.
The annual meeting of the Pierce
County Livestock Breeders associa-
ton was held at the Court House on
November 18th at three o'clock. A
large crowd, considering the weather
and roads, were present at this meet
ing. The officers elected for the en-
suing year are: President, Chas. Han
son, of Ellsworth; Vice-president, P.
N. Collins, of River Falls, and for
Secretary, the County Agent, H. G
Seyforth. Different committees were
appointed by the president to carry
on the work of improving the live
stock in Pierce County. Mr.. Houser
president of the Wisconsin Livestock
Breeders association, gave very in.
| structive and interesting talk on the
advantages of Pierce County as
| real livestock county. The above
| meetings were as whole very sue
cessful and we hope that we will see
some very good results brought about
by having such livestock associations
in the county.
