Answer-The preferred stocks you
mention are entitled to very good rat
ings, in our opinion. With the excep-
ton Of Baldwin Locomotive there is no
funded debt and earnings in each in-
stance have been ample for many years
to care for all preferred dividend re-
quirenlents and leave substantial mar
gin. However, unless you arrange to
pay off part Of your loan regularly
we see, no particular point in doing as
you suggest

Would Know When to Buy Steel

Qucstion-Do you consider United States
Steel common a good investment II pur-
chased at 80 or below &c. E. n.
Answer-Dividends on United States
Steel common have been variable and it
is sensitive to market conditions. That
takes it out Of the investment class, in
our opinion, though there is no doubt
that there are large eacrning power and
equity behind the shares. Setting
maximum of 80 for yourself as the
price you will pay indicates that you
would puy for rise, and that would
be speculating. Not that we think
there is anything wrong about that,
but we do not attempt. to advise our
readers about trading.
