In Wall Street
Steel Institute Meeting

Any thought that the steel men Of
the country were worried about Secre-
tary Hughes's proposal for ten-year
naval holiday and the scrapping of
yesterdays gathering Of the American
Iron and Steel Institute. Judge Gary
sounded the united sentiment of those
in attendance when he declared that
suggestions by some that there will
be less steel manufactured as result
of the armament limitation are un-
worthy of even passing notice"
Furthermore this statement is borne
out by the figures which show that
sells than per cent of the company's
productive steel capacity would be
used in any extensive naval building
program. This means only few
hundred thousand tons year COM
pared with the estimated total capacity
Of 40,000,000 gross tons of finished
rolled steel

Corn Products New Plant

The new plant of the Corn Products
Refining Company at Kansas City is
expected to be ready for operations
early next year. When plans were first
drawn it was estimated that the cost of
the plan would run to approximately
$7,000,000 but the actual cost has been
substantially less than this figure as
the result of economies effected in the
purchase of real estate and materials.
The new plant will have grinding
capacity of $4,000 bushels of corn
daily, bringing the total capacity of
the company's plants to approximately
10000 bushels.

New York Edison Issue Soon

Prospects are that the $30,000,000

gobbled up with a rush when they are.
offered. The bankers and the COM
pany are waiting for APPROVAL Of the
issue by the Public Service Commits
sion before they make the public offer
ing. Interest Of investors in the i'm
pending issue is indicated by the fact
that the banking houses interested
have already received requests in large
numbers to accept tentative subscrip-

considerable part of the overflow Of

Answer-Thank you for the compli-
ment. We fear, however, that like
good many of our clients you are not
very clear in your mind as to the
distinction between speculation and in
vestment. You certainly are somewhat
confused if you are thinking of United

shares OF Consolidated Textile. which were
bought at II: 100 shares OF vanadium
Steel. which were bought at e8: 100 shares
Of Ray Copper, bought at 2S; also 100
shares of Westinghouse Electric, bought at
81. and SO shares of American Tobacco Do
you think It advisable 60 keep all these
stocks until they go. up. or sell those
which do not pay dividend? am not de-
pending on these, SO do you thing / should
walt until they go up? ! have the follow
ing bonds: Canadian Northern Great
Northern, United States Rubber, STANDARD
Oil of New York. Humble Oh. Northwest
ern Bell Telephone and New York Central.
Do you think those are good bonds?-Mrs
A. A.
Answer-Your list Of bonds is high
grade, and since you do not need to
sell the stocks we would be inclined
to hold all of them. We think that
conditions both in tho textile, steel
and copper industries should be better
six months or year from now than
they are now, and that your stocks
may be selling at higher price.

Investments for a Business Man

Qusstion--In what order would you ratio
the following bonds a business mans
Investment: International Mercantile Ma
rine 6s, Hudson & Manhattan 5s Public
Service of New Jersey SIS? Also In regard
to the latter what interest dates what
is date of maturity and what security is
there? Have any of these companies ever
failed to earn interest requirements IN any
given year?-P. B. P.
Answer-We would rate the three
bonds in the same order that you have
named them. Public Service Corpora
tion Of New Jersey general mortgage
s per cent bonds are due October /.
1869, are dated October 1, 1909, and
interest is payable April / and Octo-
Der l, and they are secured by mort
gage on all the property of the com
pany, subject to $19,000,000 Gin round
fgures), perpetual interest bearing
certificates on portion thereof. The
bonds are a first lien on a number Of
leases, total of $16,640,000 par value
of bonds and total of sac, ,791, 900 par
value Of stocks, besides being a second
lien on other property. The otal
amount outstanding is $33, 3,433 900. In
1912 and in 1914 International Mercan-
tile Marine failed by a small margin
to earn interest charges; the Hudson
& Manhattan failed to earn its fixed
charges in 1912; the Public Service
Corporation Of New Jersey has earned
its interest charges in each of the last
ten years.

St. Paul Debenture 4s

Question: shall be very glad to be
favored with your opinion regarding the
with special reference to its debenture
bond issue of 1909, paying per cent in
terest and maturing in 1884. ! have heard
criticism OF this issue which has not been
months ago one of the largo bond houses
recommended these debentures for invest
ment and stated in some Of their litera-
ture that they we're legal investments In
two or three different states. and, IL am
not mistaken. New York was one OF them
VIM you please advise mo II there has
been any interruption in the interest pay
ment on these bonds since their issue :?
M. c. B.
Answer-As originally issued the a
per cent bonds of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, due 1884, were de-
bentures only, but because of provi
sions in the indenture securing them
when the general and refunding mort
gage bonds were authorized, these de-
bentures were secured by the general
and refunding mortgage, which is first
mortgage on 1885 miles of line, to-
gther with the general and refunding
bonds outstanding and the so-called
European loan. Changed conditions in
railway operation have seriously af-
fected the st. Paul's operating costs.
The st. Paul is no wengaged in work
ing out it's operating problems. We
think its management is an able one,
but whether the problem of economical
operation under the conditions which
the st. Paul faces is one that can be
solved we do not know. We consider
the bonds good investment. involving
certain amount Of speculation in the
outcome of the general railroad situa-
tion and of the St. Paul's operating
conditions in particular. There has
been no interruption of interest pay
ments on St. Paul bonds, but dividend
payments on both classes of stock have
been discontinued and after a certain
length of time, unless dividends are
resumed, the bonds will no longer be
legal for savings banks investments.
