Spain by the Moors about the year
l2SS. BY the beginning of the Nine
teenth century the Spanish guitar had
become fashionable instrument on

London, July 90. Bird lovers have
Won victory by the final passing of

Wholly Dependent ON Salary

Question--Will you please explain IN
your column junt what Prudancc bonds
are and whether yon consider them n good
investment for a woman wholly dependent
upon her salary? VIII you also give your
opinion regarding Columbia Gas and Elec-
trlc Company bonds, whether you consider
them good Investment and what they
are paying; also IL you consider Anaconda
bonds a good inveatment7-E II. N.
Answer--Prudence bonds are Sc
cured by mortgages on real estate and
are good investment for woman's in
vestmcnt. There are two issues Of
Columbia Gas g. Electric bonds, one
tho first 5s, due 1927, which are Sc
cured by a first mortgage on 10000
acres Of gas lands in West Virginia,
and the debenture 5s, due 1927, which
are not secured by mortgage. We
think the first SIS are n high grade in
vestment and the debenture IS q good
investment. Anaconda Copper Mining
Company secured 6s, series A, and Sc
cured rs, series B, due 1929, are
good investments, in our opinion, not
withstanding the fact that because Of
the cessation Of production of copper
the company has not been earning in
terest. Stocks Of copper have at last
been reduced to a point where, pre-
sumably, production will have to be
resumed in the not distant future.

Demonstrated Earning Power

Question--Do you. consider the follow
ing securities suitable as a business mans s
Investment. and please .givc your reasons
for thinking as you do? Duquesne Light
Company convertible 71as, due 1896; Cleve-
land Electric illuminating Company de-
benture Is, due 1941-A. S. B.
Answer--We would rank both Du-
quesne Light convertible 7ks and
Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co. de-
benture rs as higher than business
mans investment. In both cases the
safety of the bond consists largely in
the demonstrated earning power of the
companies. In 1920 Duquesne Light
earned $4,810,000 net, with interest
charges amounting to $1,918,00O and
did as we'll in 1919 with much smaller
gross, and in the nine months ended
September 80, 1921, earned nearly ST.
100000 more net than in the same nine
months of 1920. Cleveland Electric
Illuminating Co. in the twelve months
ended September 20, 1921, earned $4,.
e76.o0o, and interest charges, preferred
dividends and depreciation called fol
only $2,943 900.

American Tel. and Tel. 6s, 1926

Question: hold $1,000 American Tele~
phone ard Telegraph per cent converti-
bile, 1925, for which I paid "a. Would you
advise converting this now into 8 per cent
stock. or would you sell 1t and buy some
long term similar bond like the North
western Bell Telephone rs OF 1914, or
would you continue to hold. 1t and wait for
even better opportunity p. K.
Answer-We should think that hold
ers Of American Telephone and Tele-
graph IS, 1885, have very unusual
opportunity to increase both income
and safety by selling their bonds and
investing the proceeds in Northwestern
Bell Telephone rs, 1o41, now selling at
about the same price. They would re-
ceive thus return of $40 on each $1,000
of bonds held, instead Of the present
return of $50, and they would strength
en- their investment position by getting
a bond secured by first mortgage in
stead of debenture. They will also
have long-term bond, non-callable be-
fore 1881 and callable after that date
only as to the whole issue, instead of .
security maturing in 1925. Conversion
into stock Of the American Telephone
and Telegraph 6s is also very attrac.
tive at this time, but it involves the
additional investment of $50 for each
$1,000 bond.

enc, provided that you are careful to

gest for purchase, the Atchison gen

IS, 1880; the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.

Gently selling about n, to yield $50;

T096, recently selling at 81, to yield

include State of Queensland Is, 1941
recently selling at 104, to yield about
6.65 per cent, and General Electric
debenture IS, 1910, recently selling at
! 1903, to yield 5.73 per cent. Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul general and re.
funding 41as, 2014, are somewhat
speculative, we think, on account OF
Che difficulties which the company has
been undergoing during the last three
years. They are distinctly less de-
sirable than the other bonds we have
mentioned.

would be a $1O0 bond Of the United

buy one of these through your own
