Interest Every Month

Question-Can you suggest a method by
which l may invest Sc, 900 50 that the in
come therefrom will be paid in twelve an
proXima tely equal installments at intervals
of one month apart? Rate of return de-
sired, TO per cent. Ny preference is
for foreign government bonds or high
grade public utilities and ndustrials no
stocks.--D r. G.
Answer-We suggest the following:
Montana Power first 5s, 1943, interest
payable January and July; General
Electric 6s, 1870, interest payable Feb
ruary and August; Midvale Steel and
Ordnance 5s, 1886, interest payable
March and Sepsember New York Tele-
phone Company 6s, 1941, interest pay
able April and October New York
Central debenture 6s, 1885. interest
payable May and November, and Brook
lyn Edison rs, series d, 1910, interest
payable June and December. All these
bonds are ohtainable in $500 pieces, so
that You could divide your investment
between the various issues in almost
any way you please. One 81 1000 bond
of each would cost at current prices
just about $4,000 and would give YOU
an annual income of $3.50, payable in
every month in the year. This gives
current return of little less than s
per cent. with q WELD to maturity of
about $50. All the bonds are high
grade investments in our opinion

VanIa: Please mention in general order of

Answer-For a fund such as YOU de-
coupon rate bonds, even if the present
current yield appears to be low. AS
the price of money falls, as it is rea-
sonably sure to do in the years to come
the purchasing power Of the income
will presumably increase and the Weld

Chicago Pneumatic Tool

Questiop-Can you give NE any special
lniormatlon regarding the stock OF the
Chicago Fnenmatic Tool Company. whether
YOU regard this rs good business man s
investment or not? Also. whether the com.
panY IS supposed TO be doing d profitable
BUSINESS IN fact, anything BEARING on
the value of the stock as an invest Meut
VIII be appreciated. d.. 5. l.
Answer-The last balance sheet state
ment of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool
Company available is that for Dccem-
Der 81, 1920. Decided changes may
haVe taken place since then, but until
the balance sheet for the end of this
year is available we cannot tell what
the changes may have been. At the
end of 1920 inventories were carried at
Sa,354 600, which is high. The company.
however, had no unwieldv current liza
biilties, having only 100000 notes pay
able and $1,407, 900 accounts payable. 1t
earned its per cent dividend during
1920 by margin of 1886, 900 The stock
is semi-s speculative, in our opinion.

Hills Dream Come True

statemcnt you made in The Tribune to
the eject that th"1ugh tho ceaversion of
bonds, Northern Pacific had virtually lost
control OF the Burlington system. am
not thoroughly familiar with the change
IN tue situation that has como about
through the rcfunding OF the Chica go.
'Horington 4 Quincy joint ts and l would
greatly appreciate an explanation OF tho
facts en- which YOU based your statement
above mentioned, Is Great Northern sim
ilarly affected? IN your reply VIII You
also please state the amounts OF rxch
charges which h from now on, WIN have
cinc and Great Northern s-~R " G.
Answer-Pror to the refundng Of
the C.. b. & 9. joint As almost the en-
tlre Sll0,000,000 of c. b. g. Q. stock was
hcid as collateral for these joint bonds,
and the Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific divided equally the owner
ship of the stock, subject of course,
to the Joint collateral mortgage. When
the new mortgage was created it was
provided that purchaser of the new
bonds, known as the Northern Pacific
Great Northern Joint 61ss, could ox-
changc at par his new joint bonds
either for 7 per cent bond of the
Great Northern, which was not callable
to maturity, 1886, or exchange his joint
bond for a 6 per cent bond OF the
Northern Pacific. The 6 per cent bonds
of the Northern Pacific are legal for
savings bank investments in New
York State; the Great Northern rs are
not legal. 1t was thought, or at least
some people said that it was thought,
that the fact that Northern Pacific
bonds were legals and Great Northerns
were not would offset the | per cent
ditierence IN interest rates, and that
about as many people would want to
exchange Joint bonds for Northern
Pacific 6s as would want to exchange
However, not relying wholly on these
thoughts, somebody insisted that
clause should be inserted by which not
more than half of the issue, approxi-
mately, could be converted into either
one of the alternative bonds. What
actually happened was that about S11O-
100000, or the full amount that could
be converted into Great Northern rs,
were so converted, whereas but about
S20,000,000 of the joint bonds were
converted into Northern Pacific IS. 1t
vas provided in the mortgage that
when Joint bond was converted either
citic bonds. the proportionate amount
of stock of the Burlington should be
transferred from the trustee for the
JOINT bonds to either the Great North
ern or Northern Pacific treasury. The
result has been that there is now in
the Great Northern's treasury nearly
half of the entire capital stock Of the
Burlington. while there is only about
one-tenth to one-eighth of the entire
stock of the Burlington in the North
ern Pacitic's treasury, and the re-
mainder of the Burlington stock is
with the trustee of the still outstand-
ing joint 61a per cent bonds. The fixed
charges of the two companies are un-
certain until the commission is com
| pleted.

Chicago Great Western

tsuestion-Will you kindly give me in
formation on Chicago Great Western Rail
a'' aoao @ nrst mortgage per cent gold bond
recently at 62.-Mrs. j. H.
Answer-The Chicago Great Western
IS one of the weak railroads which
the transportation act was designed to
heip, but has not yet succeeded in so
dong The first mortgage As are Sc
cured by first mortgage on 757 miles
OF line and through the deposit Of
nearly the entire issue of bonds and
stocks Of the Wisconsin. Minnesota &
Pacific on about 277 miles additional.
There are $25,3S2 900 outstanding. or at
the rate of, roughly, 5000 a mile.
This would not be high for many rail
roads. but iii the case of the Chicago
Great Western the road is badly sit
uated and is expensive to operate.

pany is now paying dividends on all

currently quoted at about 84A, to yield
about $50 to maturity. We suggest
that YOU divide your funds between

Pc cent bonds, $1,000 Laclcdc Gas Light
company hrst collateral rcfundlng per
cent loan OF 1911 and 5000 Argentine gov.
y. HF"inent per cent sterling bonds
Answer We think both Manitoba
hrst Z per cent bonds and Lacede Gas
Llgnt collateral I per cent bonds are
gcoa Investments. The two sterling
pohoS; however, contain an element oi
speculation, in that their value in
American gold depends on the price of

We Are Not Insnired

Question: am incloslng a circular let -
ter from Parks Bros. 1913 Liberty Str,aol.
New York offering stock of the United
Arizona Copper Mining and Smeiting ,o.l-
pahE' Ihe letter seems to inspire cont
dence. but know nothing whatever about

haoit to comment upon speculative stocks.
~ however you would care to lot down
your IMPRESSION. or whatever informant ion
you may Rave. shall graetly appreciate
your courtesy.~-I. Il. A.
Answer-The letter which You in
close from Parks Brothers may inspire
confidence in YOU, but it does not have
that effect on as. Despite the opinion
OF Cecil Rhodes, which they quote. we
think that men and women of small
means are better off with their money
invested in securities which come near
cr the definition of investments than
stock III copper mine.

, VI tIIc duUItIU!Ids IFVVStWCnC OF
the $4,000 YOU now have available we
are going to suggest some railroad
bonds which we think are high grade,
but which are still selling to yield a
fairly good return on the Investment
We name in this class the following:
Vl1ginian Railway 1st 5s, 1862, secured
by first mortgage on the entire prop
crty OF the company, a we'll constructed
line with comparatively light grades,
considering the character Of the coun-
try, between the West Virginia coal
fields and its own modern terminal
property at Norfolk. The Virginian is
able to operate at phenomenally low
cost in times of prosperity, and even
during the present depression it's oper-
atlng ratio compares very favorably
with the other coal-carrying lines
These bonds are selling at about IS. t
