Union Pacifc's Investments

Question--Some time ago, in one OF your
published answers to Inquiries. you spoke
only great railway institution but
banking institution as we'll. Would you
kindly state in Just what way this is true?
Whether the road merely invests heavily
in outside securities, whether they loan
money extensively in just what way they
engage in hankins operation? Whore can
] get somewhat detailed information upon
thi1 matter &C. r. Il.
Answer-If you will go to the Pub
lie Library and get, in the reference
room, copy of the last Poor's Manual
of Railroads you will find a full nc
count of the holdings of securities by
the Union Pacific. The manual is not
arranged alphabetically. SO that it is
necessary to look up Union Pacific in
the index. You will also find his
tory of the property with references
TO earlier volumes Of the manual.
These earlier volumes you can get on
application at the reading room desk
for yourself. When the Union Pacific
was reorganized under the auspices of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the late f. II.
Hartman its credit rapidly became
so high that it was possible for Mr..
Hartman, then president, to purchase
as Investments stock in various rail-
road companies; the two most not
able instances being the controlling
stock of the Southern Pacific and the
Illinois Central. In other words, the
Union Pacitic's credit was used as
bankers credit might be used to ac-
quire control of roads to form the
great Hartman system of railroads,
system which. had Mr.. Hartman lived,
would presumably have stretched from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and formed
a network of many CT the most desir-
able railroad properties in the United
States. Prior to his drath Mr. Harri-
man had gained the chief control of
the Erie and a very considerable in
terest in New York Central When
the Southern Pacific was divorced from
the Union Pacific there were various
shifts made in Union Pacific holdings
of securities, the details of which you
will find in Poor's Manual.

Good Preferred Stocks

Question: have consulted you several
times IN the past relative to bonds Now
have about $1,000 to invest and wish to
ask your advice concerning some good
preferred stock, not railroad, virtually on
an Investment basis. / have no desire to
speculate. How would you regard the
following American Car and Foundry.
American Locomotive, General Electric.
International Harvester. Standard Oil of
New Jersey, United States Steel, Niagara
Falls Power? Does the latter have a
per cent bond maturing about 1850? How
do you regard Bethlehem Steel preferred
Z and per cent, and which 90 you CON
slider mora desirable from an Investment
star ndpont 20. w. X.
Answer-From an investment stand
point U. S. Steel preferred is the
safest and best of the preferred stocks
that you name, in our opinion, with
American Locomotive, General Electric
and Standard Oil of New. Jersey rank
ing next, and American Car and
Foundry in the same class as Ameri-
can Locomotive, about. We would not
rank Bethlehem Steel preferred, either
7 per cent or per cent, with these
others. Niagara Falls Power has
first mortgage 5 per cent bond. due
1882, and recently selling at 951a. 1t
is high grade investment, we think.

Are these all safe Investments? I am not

savings. win you please mention some
other good safe bonds to run ten or fftean
years with 20 7 per cent dividends? 1
changing any OF these for any better
bonds ?--E. A. w.
Answer--We would not suggest any
change in your list of bonds, and think
that your investment is we'll diversified.
For tho three other bonds we suggest
Shawinigan Water and Power first re-
funding mortgage 6 per cent bonds, due
1850. recently selling at par; Connecti-
cut Light and Power frat and refund

slnAfmg or ing, 1uno ma, per cent Can you answer
or all of these be good for a bank to invest

Answer-The New York Telephone
6s, United Kingdom of Great Britain,
Standard Oh of NN Jersey and
Standard Oil of California, North
western Bell Is, State of Queensland
rs and Liggett & Myers debentures
would be suitable. in our opinion, for
bank to invest in. We would be in
ciined to wait for month or so be-
fore buying the City of Christiania,
Danish Consolidated Municipal and
Belgian bonds until we could see what
is to be done about the German indem-
nifty payments. American Car and
Foundry common is somewhat specula-
tive and the preferred good invest
ment. There is certain element Of
speculation in the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul bonds, in the General
Motors debenture and Erie prior liens.
Erie prior liens are really a junior
lien bond, Notwithstanding their name
except for $50 miles of road. The St.
Paul has had such a difficult time in
the last two or three years that we
would be inclined to wait until it's
earning power under private operation
has been more fully demonstrated than
at present, and while General Motors
has been strong corporation, great
deal will depend on what the Decent mber
81 balance sheet shows in regard to
inventories. Ontario & Western first
4s and Diamond Match are good invest
ments and Goodyear Tire and Rubber
and Central Steel are attractive busi-
ness mems investments.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-18

what me mean when we talk about
diversity in investments.
We suggest that YOU divide your
money received from selling twenty
three (leaving you three) of the Pitts
burgh, Chicago, Cincinnati & St. Louis
bonds among the following twelve
bonds and stocks: Virginian Railway
hrst per cent bonds, due 1862, re-
Gently selling around SO; Chicago
Union Station first mortgage, Series

preferred stock, National Biscuit pre-
ferred, United States Steel preferred

BY all means sell both YOUR Erie
and Wabash common. What vou want
is income, not a speculation. With
the proceeds of the sale of these two
stocks we suggest that you buy life
insurance, unless you already carry
sumcient to feel confident that YOU

sha0 much additional of the four pre-

Manhattan Elevated Stock

9usstion-I should be very glad to hear
your opinion in regard to the Manhattan
Elevated stock. From the market price.
the dtscontinuance of dividends has appar-
entity been discounted If the discontinu-
ance of dividends would force a receiver
shlp OF the Interborough it would proba-
bly, be advisable to dapose of the stock
even. at the present price. However, I
would like to obtain the most capital for
the shares held. even if dividends must be
foregone fer a while. In what relation
does this stock stand to the Interborouch
bonds in respect to priority of annual pay
ments a. p.
Answer-The question of what rela-
tion the Manhattan Elevated stock
would bear to Interborough Rapid
Transit bonds might be one upon
which the courts would pass. We
agree with you in regard to the market
price Of the stock having discounted
either a discontinuance of dividends
or reduction of the rate of dividends.
We're reasonable reduction in rate
to be- made it is quite possible that
the market price of this stock would
go up, not down. We would advise
you to hold on to this stock.
