Effect of Reparations Default

Question: expect to have about SS,100
between now and December to invest.
ferred stocks suggested by you in The
Tribune in $1,000 lots, and would thank
you for your opinion as to which or inc
following you would consider the saiest
investment or any other you think better
that will furnish as good q yield, with
equal or better safety at present. Twenty
shares Union Pacific common at 1923; six
shares American Telephone and Telegraph
common at Sill yield $54 per annum;
$1,000 Kingdom of Denmark IS at lVt y !
81 600 Kingdom of Norway IS at I0I; ST.
600 Consolidated Gas and Electric Lgnt
and Power Company of Baltimore at 100
&c. VI. 5.
Answer-We think you have picked
out a we'll diversified and good invest
ment. One thing, however, should be
taken into consideration that was not
apparent six months or q year ago. The
situation as regards the payment OF
Germany's indemnity is growing, ap-
parentiy, continually worse. II France
were compelled to take over the Rhine
lands and Germany were to carry out
its threat to declare itself bankrupt
the market price. of both Denmark and
Norway IS might be adversely affected
in this country. We think they are
safe in the long run. but simply want
to warn you against the possibilities of
81 drop in quotation prices. II you do
not want to take this chance we sug.
gest that you consider Central Steel
first mortgage sinking fund IS, due
1941, and Goodyear Tire and Rubber
first mortgage sinking fund IS, due
May l., 1941, both of which can be
bought at lower prices than the Dem

Wise and Foolish

Question My sister has hardware

ish gold her como stock of that company

everything he said. and invested about

what bonds to buy. [ have 81. 600 to invest
Would lits bond that would bring high
per cent hut would want ono that's good
rather than tho high pcr cent, cannot
afford to h,se any money,---Mrs. l.. u.
Answer 1t strikes us that you and
your sister are much like the foolish
cannot tell you much about the stock
except to say that you arc wise in
not try to get too high a yield, and
above all do not try to buy something
that will 60 up in price. What you
want is assurance that you will get
your interest every six months, anj
that the principal when ii becomes
due will be paid. We suggest that you
buy one Queensland (Australia) z
per cent bond, due 1941, recently sell-
ing at 1929, which gives you g yield
of $40 per cent, and one of the New
Central Steel Company per cent
bonds, due 194l, recently selling at
9S5a, giving you a yield of 8.15 per
cent. The two bonds give you together
yield of between z and per cent, and
have in our opinion, high degree of
safety.

Has One Good Investment

Question: have 5000 bonds Southern
Railway first consolidated 5s due 1894
What other bonds do you suggest chang
ing them TO for q safer and better invest
ment? 1 have fifty shares OF Great North
ern Railway preferred and fifty shares Of
Northern Pacific Railway. DO you think
these stocks will go higher or do you
think ] should sell now? If should sell,
what do you think would be a good in
vestment?-R L. 4.
Answer We think your Southern
Railway first consolidated IS are a sat
isfactory investment, and see no reason
why you should dispose of them at the
present time. We do not know whether
Great Northern preferred and North
ern Pacific stock will sell at higher
prices than at present, but if you wish
a secure investment, such as you have
in your Southern Railway bonds, we
suggest that you sell both these stocks
and put the money into good bonds,
such as we often recommend in this
column.

Three-ffths OF Austrian
Cotton Mills Running
Most of Yarns Go to Neighbor.
ing Countries To BE Made
Into Cloth

There are now in Austria 1,10O,0O
spindles and 1900 looms, Of which
90 to so per cent are in operation, ac-
cording to w. F. Upson, representa-
tive of the United States Department
Of Commerce in Vienna Most Of the
yarns manufactured are sold in
Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary and Jugo-
Slavia, and only a very small part is
sold in Austria, because the weaving in
dustry here is comparatively small.
Finished fabrics are exported mostly
ception of Czecho- -Slovakia, which has
closed it's frontiers against all kinds
Of Austrian textiles. A very small
part of the output of woven goods is
exported to Switzerland and Ger
many, for which it is manufactured
on commission.
On the whole, the mills were set in
operation after the war without Sc
rious drawbacks The greatest diff
culties were a shortage of fuel and
the ever-reeurring interruptions in
railway traffic. Since these impedi-
ments have been removed production
in the mills is fairly regular. and the
goods, beth yarns and fabrics. have
found good markets. As rule the
mills have had orders for two or
1t is difficult to say anything about
the future development Of the textile
industry in this country SINCE the
rapid and constant depreciation of the
crown has brought great uncertainty
IN the economic situation. The risk
both in buying the raw material and
in selling the products for Austrian
crowns is very great, and the manu-
facturer must use his best care in all
transactions. Furthermore, he MIST
consider the great difficulty in OBJ
tanning capital and the constant de-
mands OF employees for higher wages.
Despite all this the situation in Aus-
tria's textile industry may be said to
be promising, and a progressive de-
velopment is possible if no untoward
events take place.
The consumption of cotton between
January | and JuSe 80, 1921, was
about $4,000 bales American, Is .OO0
East Indian, and 5000 Egyptian. A
prominent cotton agent states that
notwithstanding the high rate of ex-
change for the dolTar cotton is nov

Answer-Your four bonds are good
Investments, in our opinion, although
you might see the price of your French
bonds fall considerably if Germany
should fail to pay her indemnity. In
the long run, however we think they
are safe. We think you would be wiser
to have all Of your money in bonds CIR
IN only the highest grade of preferred
stock, such as that of the United States
Steel Corporation or Standard Oil of
New Jersey preferred. While. in the
long run Virginia Carolina Chemical
Company preferred may be all right. at
present the fertilizer industry Is 20
ing through such trying period that
even the strong companies are. quite
adversely affected, and this gives point
to our contention that people situated
as you are would do better to have
their investment in high-grade bonds.

A Veterans Investment

Question: am a veteran of the Civil
War. seventy seven years old, have $1,000
to invest and wish to know if you con-
slider Austin Nichols preferred stock safe
investment Your investment informatio
l consider most valuable. and is worth
more than the price Of your paper to every
reader.--G. r.. r.
Answer-We do not consider that
Austin Nichols preferred is the sort of
investment man of your age should
have. In buying it you would, in effect,
be going into partnership in the
grocery business, and it seems to us
that you ought to put your money in a
form of security not SO much exposed
to business risks as even a good pre-
ferred stock. We suggest that you
consider some we'll secured bond, such
as the New York Telephone 6s, 1941,
selling at about 90, to yield trife over
6 per cent, or New York Central deben-
ture IS, 1885, now selling at 97%, to
yield about 6.25.

Warns Against Rushing
Season i'm Dres Trade
Late Easter, Says Executive of
Manufacturers Association.
Cuts Out Early Showinos

Although the reported active interest
IN spring dresses is a good Indication,
according to David NJ Mosessohn.
executive director of the Associated
Dress Industries of America, it also
necessitates a warning of caution about
rushing" the season.
''Te spring season." he said, "has a
natural beginning in most sections of
the country. Retailers begin to feel
real demand from February Is to 20 on.
In order to be prepared for this natural
demand they should place orders for
their anticipated requirements from
January 1. giving the manufacturers an
opportunity to make them up in time
for the regular openings. Some orders
might we'll be placed during December
for later delivery.
Easter is late next year and if the
season is rushed too much retailers
Will either have to order two lines (if
the manufacturers show two lines) and
probably fall short of turnover on
one Of them, or wait until late to buy
their real natural seasons goods.
This is merely a message to urge
sane buying by retailers and sane sell
ing by manufacturers, for the good of
both.
"Some extra carly buying always
is and must be done in certain few
cases, but taking the country as a
whole, adherence to seasonal buying
sufficiently in advance to permit manu-
facturers to make required deliveries
is the moro rational merchandising
methods"

A. First Investment

Question kindly suggest q desirable first
tnsestrnent amounting to $4,000. Would
the fact that 1 am not subject to Federal
income tax make much OF difference, and,
If So what securities would allow 10
take advantage of my exemption? - H..
NJ. A..
Answer We suggest as a desirable
first Investment amounting to $1,000
the following: $1,000 New York Tele-
phone Company IS, 1941. selling at a
fraction under par, to yield per cent,
and $1,000 New York Central con-
vertible debenture IS, 1895, selling at
about So, to yield 6.10 per cent. II
your income is such that you are not
subject to Federal income tax it
simply means that you are in posi-
tion to buy securities such as those
mentioned above and receive the full
return from them instead Of having
TO make allowance for q heavy tax, as
would be the case II your income were
large enough to be subject 70 taxes.

French Stocks

anxious to make my investment as strong
AS possible and still bring a fair return on
recommend list of French industrial
stocks or French rail stocks which would
t, be suitable. table Kindly give mo their present
bring.--W. c. w. jr
Answer-Your suggestion TO sell
stocks of French railroads and
industrial companies is good, we
think, and we are glad to suggest
list of such securities for your con-
sideration. The quotations we give are
little old, but they will serve to
guide you in general way Stock of
the Nord Railway, par value 400 francs,
present dividend rate Sd francs year,
selling at about 900 francs a share.
P. l.. NJ. Railway, par value 500 francs,
dividend rate 40 francs, selling about
700 francs share. Under the present
arrangements between the French gov
ernment and the railway companies tho
dividends on these stocks are for all
practical purposes guaranteed by the
French government and both companies
have for many years enjoyed the high
est credit. Gle Parisienne de Distribu-
ton d'Electricite, par value $50 francs,
present dividend rate 10 francs, selling
at about 800 francs. Thomson-Hous-
ton, par value 500 francs, annual divi-
dend 40 francs, selling at about $50
francs. You might also consider the
stock Of one or two of the French
banks, such as the Societe Generate,
par value 500 francs, annual dividend
rate 1850 francs, selling at about TOO
francs; or the stock Of the Compton
d'Escompte, par value 500 francs, an
nual dividend 40 francs, selling at
about $50 francs. All dividends are, of
course, subject to change at any time,
but those on the railroad stocks have
been the prevailing rates for many
years and were not even disturbed
durine the WAR
New-York tribune., 1921-12-04

Dlvidends from stocks are exempt
from the normal income taxes and we
suggest the following preferred stocks
which we think are strictly within the
high grade Investment class: National
Biscuit Z per cent preferred, Baldwin
locomotive Z per cent preferred, Stan
dard Oil of California per cent pre-
fcrred, United States Steel per cent
preferred, American Car and Foundry
per cent preferred, Atchison, Topeka a.
Santa Fc preferred, Corn Products 7
per cent preferred and p. Lorillard 7
per cent preferred. In addition, we sug-
gest that you buy some of the highest
grade bonds, whose prices reflect fairly
accurately the price of money. which
IN our opinion, will be much lower in the
long run than it is now. In this class

Answer-We do not pass on the rat
ing of bankers. Straus & Co. mort
gage bonds are secured by real estate
mortgages on improved property. We
think that the bonds are a good
investment. We consider the Chi
caEo & Erie IS business mans invest
ment. They are guaranteed by the Erie,
but the Erie itself is one Of the weak
roads and is greatly evercapitalized.
Kansas City, st. Louis 4 Chicago per
cent preferred stock is guaranteed by
the Chicago & Alton, which itself is a
weak road, 80 that it's guaranty is not
large factor of safety. We think it
is not as good an investment as the
Chicago 4 Erie. To get rs much as
715 or per cent now you would have
to include bonds that are not strictly
first grade. The difference between
French SIS and French 71zs is tho diff
ference in interest rate, the fact that
the 734s are not eallable and the fact
that the IS are due in 1916 and the IN s
in 1s41. We suggest Central Steel

mind, the mere fact that it sells on the

Palm Oil i'm Paraguay

American companies Interested in the
use of coco or palm OIL for soap or
margarine may be interested in the de-
velopment OF the palm-oil industry OF
Paraguay, according to report from
Commercial Attache Edward F. Feely,
at Buenos Ayres. At present the oil
comes principally from Africa. Ger
many previous to the war held the
greatest share of the trade. There are
at present several small factories en-
gagged in the production of palm oil in
Paraguay, and the coco palm tree,
whieh is plentiful throughout the coun-
try, offers considerable source of sup
ply for the American market. Outside
capital is needed to develop the in
dustry.
