Answer---We wonder what sort of
inquiry you made in regard to your
lnterborough- metropolitan collateral
trust as before you bought them !?
They are secured by the deposit of In
terborough Rapid Transit stock. All
OF the bonds, all of the debts guaran-
teed, etc, made by the Interborough
come ahead of it's stock, and the Inter
borough metropolitan collateral trusts
are not even as direct charge on earn
lngs as the lnterborough stock itself.
If you were to foreclose the mortgage
which you hold you would succeed in
taking possession of the stock of the
Peterborough, which would leave you
IN about the same position that you
are now. The guaranty of the Man
haitian Elevated dividend is in the
nature of a rental. Possibly you don't
know that there is difference between
the Interborough Metropolitan and the
lnterborough Rapid Transit. There is
world of difference. The INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit owns the subways,
subject to the city's claims and subject
to the 1nterborough Rapid Transit
bonds. The Interborough- Metropolitan
is nothing but holding company for
the lnterborough Rapid Transit stock.

Good Bonds Yielding 6 Per Cent

Question: wish to thank you for your
information regarding my Standard Gas
and Electric "a per cent bond and am
going to seek your further advice. l wish
to replace it with one that is absolutely
safe. Will you kindly let me know of a
few high grade bonds yielding per cent
or over that in your opinion would best
suit my purpose ?-F. p M
Answer-As high-grade bonds yield
ing and per cent we suggest North
western Bell Telpehone first Is, 1941,
yielding at current market prices about
$50 per cent; Great Northern general
mortgage Is, 1896, yielding at current
market prices about 6.55 per cent;
State of Queensland Is, 1941, yielding
at current prices about $50 per cent;
Northern States Power first and re-
funding 5s, 1941, yielding about $50

Answer-United Fruit Company stock
is very good in it's class. The com
pany's business has been very profit
able for some years. 1t has no funded
debt, and its dividend appears to be
well secured. Nevertheless, if you are
really anxious for safety above every
other consideration you ought not to
buy even such high grade stock as
United Fruit. You ought to contine
your investments to the best grade of
bonds, such as we frequently recon-
mend in these columns.

terial is the most vulnerable And It

terial is the most vulnerable. And, it
must be rememered, that the spinners
OF the world are quite as alert to pos
sibilities as we are. They have all our
experience in cotton cultivation TO
draw upon. Who then will say that
under the lash of starving industry
they cannot succeed in supplying them
selves with any shortage the South may
force upon them. Though there would
be suffering for space, economic in
dependence would be the final outcome
and the monopoly" product, response

investments as to both principal and in
terest? When does the latter bond ma
ture II. e. G.
AnswerW We think that both the
bonds you name are very fair invest
ments, the only hazard that we can see
in connection with them being the po-
litical one, which is generally present
in greater or less degree in the Latin
American republics. We think, how
ever, that this danger is very much less
now than it has been in the past. The
Rio de Janeiro IS mature in 1946.

German Marks

Question--Kindy advise me whether it
would be a good investment to buy the
German mark at the present price. Also
which which would be the safest to buy, actual
trial bonds; also what do you think of the
Polish marks? ?-S. II. L..
Answer-We do not consider Ger
man marks at the present price, or at
any other price, a good investment, or
an investment of any character. We
consider them to be an absolute specu-
lation, with the odds very heavily
against any chance of eventful profit.
The. same opinion applies to Polish
marks, and we think that your chances
of loss are about the same, whether
you buy actual currency, drafts or
bonds.

Wells, Fargo & Co.

!. Question: hold two shares of wells
Fargo stock which I bought at par sew
eral years ago and which are now quoted
Ut around CO., Would you advise me to
hold this stock, or is 1t not likely to In
crease in value?--E. j. M
Answer The value of Wells, Fargo
4 Co.'s stock is largely dependent upon
the valuation placed on the stock Of
the American Railway Express Com
pany, which took over the Wells Fargo
express business in 1918. 1t is probable
that theS Wells-Fargo company will
eventually be liquidated. and in view
of the fact that the stock is now on a
dividend basis, we think that it would
be advisable to hold it for the present.
Liquidation under better conditions
than now prevail will probably give
you more than you e4n get for the stock
at present.

Wnlch company was chartered another S
per cent Presumably the estate would not
be subject to those taxes in case of bonds.
As the matter of annual or future taxes

would appreciate information. Also, in
the event of an illness necessarily fatal,
would II be advisable in order TO avoid ia x
10 sell all stocks and bonds, either or
both. and deposit money In a bank for re-
Investment by the estate later? II this
has disadvantages, please state. OF course
realize taxes differ in different states but
that could be considered in your reply
l.. B. N,
Answer-We think that the preferred
stock of the International Harvester
Company is entitled to rank as an in
vestment stock. The company has no
funded debt. It's business has been
hard hit by the slump i'm the prices of
agricultural products, which has left
the farmers as class with very little
money to, spend for new machinery.
Conditions abroad, especially in Rus
adversely, but we think that the worst
is over and that the company will con-
tinue to go ahead. AS regards income
and inheritance taxes, as you say, the
laws in different states differ, In most
cases, however, these taxes are on a
graduated scale, increasing with
amount of the estate. The tax, how
ever, is applicable to the entire estate
whether it be in the form of real prop
erty, bonds, stocks or cash in the bank,
SO that there is no advantage that we
can see in converting an estate in
stocks into either bonds or cash in
anticipation of death or otherwise. We
advise you, however, to make inquiries
regarding estate taxes from a lawyer
in your own state who is conversant
with the statutes in such cases made
and provided. We do not set up to
give legal advice.

pounds of lint was picked in 1920.
Movement in China
China, in normal seasons, produces
enough cotton for the use of the fac
tories of the country besides a surplus
for export Efforts are now being made
by the government to induce the farm
ers to plant American seed and thus
improve both the quality and value Of
the crop. The acreage under cotton
intended for the market, as distinct
from that grown for family use on
hand spinning and weaving machines,
was 100000 acres. The crop for the
current season is estimated at 1858, 900
bales of 500 pounds each.
Naturally the remunerative character
of the crop will be controlling factor
er this country is to retain its domin-
ance in the field of production. The
South will be in 3 weak competitive

behind normal requirements, and these

Answer-We think that you will do
we'll in the future to keep your friends
tai pigeonholes. Well meant but in
expert advice is just as bad as advice
which is deliberately colored. Your
bonds are all right, in our opinion, with
the exception of the New Haven de-
bentures. These you should sell at
once, we think. They are currently
quoted at about 50, and with the
proceeds you could buy twenty shares
of American Telephone and Telegraph
stock at the present market price and,
we believe, have better investment.
We think that you should sell all your
stocks with the exception of the Worth
ington Pump and American Telephone
and Telegraph. Unless there is some
special reason for it, we should think
that you would not require an
emergency fund of as much as $4,000
in the bank You could reduce this to
$500, we should think, and with this
money and what you may be able to
realize from your stocks purchase some
we'll secured bonds. We recommend
the following: $1,000 Northern States
Power first and refunding 5s, ls41,
selling at about IS, to yield CAT, and
$1,000 State of Queensland Is, 1941,
selling at about lo2h, to yield about
$40.

We suggest that you make your present
purchase from the following list and
that you invest in others, either from

that we recommend from time to time
as first grade: Montana Power first SIS.
