P. S. Of New Jersey IS

Question: am contemplating the pur-
chase of the following bonds and would
appreciate your opinion regarding them;
Public Service Corporation OF New Jersey
5s. Michigan State Telephone Company
5s, 1924; 81. Paul European Loan ~ 1925.
&c. c. S.
Answer--We consider the Public Serv-
ice Company Of New Jersey 5s az a
reasonably safe business mans invest
ment, which, il the recent report OF
the valuation engineers is accepted by
the Public Utilities Board Of New Jer-
sey, as it appears likely that it will
be, and rates are fixed accordingly, will
in time become higher grade invest
ment than those usually classified as
business mems investments. The COM
pany is paying dividends on it's COM
mon stock. We think Chicago, Milwau-
kee g. st. Paul European 4s, due 1925.
are somewhat speculative. The COM
pany has passed both common and pre-
ferred dividends and the railroad situ-
alton is unsettled. The Michigan State
Telephone 5s are the obligation OF .
local competitor Of the Bell Telephone
system, and we consider theD1 IS local
issue without broad marketability.

sAvNxicd man myself ard know the prob
ielH ne is up against. 1t seems TO me
sonie money some way, or he must have
some new system for making it that I
cant figure out. Any additional pfcrma-
tton that you can give will be appreciated
very much.-R. e. r.
Answer-Mr. BIS letter last Sunday
was one of the moss interesting we
have ever received, and ycw are not the
only one who has expressed ouriosity
and perhaps little envy aborS it.
Therefore we are writing TO Mr.. and
Mrs. B. and asking them if they care to
discuss their Investment experiences a
little more fully. If you will read his
statement little more carefully you
will note that he does not say that he
has accumulated his securities in six
years. He says he is thirty, has been
married six years and has a present
salary of $4,000 and other income,
mostly from Investments, bringing his
total to $4,000. If he is saving at the
rate described now it is reasonable to
suppose that he saved even more in
proportion before he married. and it
may we'll be that at age twenty-four,
when he married. he had been earning
for several years. We do not con-
lecture, with you, that there is any
thing miraculous about his performs
ance. 1t is astonishing how dollars will
pile up when they are put to work and
watched as carefully as Mr.. B. watches
his. For instance, $40 week saved and
compounded at 6 per cent comes to
$7,023.91 at the end of ten years. We
suppose he has been saving much more
than $40 week longer than that. Mr..
B. says he is saving $3.50 year now,
and in the same proportion this sum
would grow to above five times the
above sum, or something like $4,000,
without exercising the care which this
couple are manifesting with their pres
ent investments. We have no doubt
that Mr.. and Mrs. B. will have their
$4,000 at forty, if they live; have you :?
We know of several ways of saving
Systematically, and if you will let us
know something more about your re-
quirements and resources we will be
glad to make suggestions. We suspect
that you need a financial eye-opener
Two thousand dollars a year is not a
slight income" as you called it, when
you put it to such uses as Mr.. B. de-
scribed to US.

Doctor Holds Good Bonds

Question: am inclosing for your ad-
vice and approval a list which hold to-
gether with the prices paid and amounts
held. WIN you kindly advise me il you
consider this a good list and also if you
ciated, and. il So, what would you sug-
gest to me to buy in reinvesting? / am
physician and have no income except from
my profession. American Agricultural

ssh; northwestern Bell Telephone Is, at
gsA Second Liberty Loan 4Hs. Third
Japanese IS. par $500, at stH SD. {. ? N. " !
Answer-We think your list good
one. You have a large proportion of
foreign government bonds, but in our
opinion these bonds are selling at q
lower price than their safety and cou-
pom rate entitle them to. This is large
ly because American investors have not
been educated to take foreign invest
ments. If you do not feel the prejudice
against foreign governments that so
many investors do, you reap the benefit
In combination Of higher yield and
lower price. The Japanese As are the
only ones on your list that we think
you might give special thought to. If
you think there is any likelihood dur
ing the life of the bonds of their being
trouble between Japan and the United
States, you might better forego the
extremely high yield which you get on
them and invest in domestic public
utility such as Great Falls Power first
8 per cent, due 1910, selling recently at
&c and yielding 6.27 per cent, or Caro-
lima Power and Light first mortgage 5s

Investor Seeks the Safest

Question-Do you know of any better
investment than Atchson, Topeka &: Sante
Fe general As, due 1895? 1 am interested
in sound investments. 1 have lboked upon
the proposition of mortgage companies and
the best one falls short by about per
cent of meeting it's guarantees If things
should go wrong. Please give me a list
of the best investments you know Of
II. H.. b.
Answer-We know of few sounder
investments than Atchison, Topeka &
Sante Fe general As, due 1895. Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy general As
due 1883 might be shade safer; that
is, if the railroads in the United States
were driven one after the other into
bankruptcy, the Burlington would
probably hang on longer at coniscatory
rates than would the Atchison. Liberty
bonds, bonds of New York City and
New York State, the bonds of other
large Eastern cities, first mortgages
and first mortgage real estate bonds
that are beyond question legal for saw
ings banks in New York State, bonds
of the Dominion of Canada, of the
United Kingdom and of Switzerland,
and the United States Steel sinking
fund IS, are among the safest in our
opinion.

note that the Grand Trunk Railroad OF
Canada just let the 1855 bond interest pay
ment default Advise If the above bond of
this road is good investment--F. r. K.
Answer-We think that all of the
securities which you name are good
investments, with the following quail
fications: Baltimore g. Ohio is a weak
road under present railroad conditions.
The 4 per cent bonds are secured by
first mortgage on 756 miles and first
collateral lien on 404 miles. There are
nearly 82,000000 outstanding. If the
road should get into financial difficult
ties it is conceivable that you might
have to wait for your interest. The
stock of Cosden Oil is speculative. 1t
had spread Of points in one day
last week. In any case of common
stock investment you should watch
earnings and the market. 1t occupies
d small place in your list, however.
We consider the Grand Trunk equip
ment 6la per cent bonds as a safe in
vestment The government of Canada
and the stockholders of the Grand
Trunk are negotiating for the sale by
the stockholders of the entire outstand-
|sing stock of the company TO the gov
ernment. The government accuses the
stockholders of being dilatory in ar
irving at price, and the stockholders
are doing everything that they can to
get as high price as possible, ap-
parently- even if it involves delay and
some slight embarrassment to the gov
ernment. The default in interest by
the company was in the nature of a
move in a game, However, neither side
can, in our opinion, afford to default
on equipment trusts beyond the period
of grace at most, because the equip
ment is essential to keep the property
operating. Virginia-C Carolina Chemical
| has passed through severe periods of
| depression before this since organiza-
| tion in 1895, but it las always earned
bond interest by good margin. We
do not think you need to worry about
your holdings.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-01
Investor Will Add to Good HOLDINGS

Question-Will you kindly give me youl,
opinion on the following Investments and
about per cent and running for fifteen
years or more? One Virg inia Carolina
chemieal hen 7H per cent. one American
Bell Telephone per cent, one United
states Rubber 7h per cent, one Vacuum
on per cent, two Belgian 7h per cent,
ore Belgian per cent, one French per
cent and one Swiss 8 per cent-A T.
Answer-Ne think your selection of
bonds is excellent. While the fer
tlilzer business is somewhat unsettled,
both the Virginia Carolina and the
American Agricultural are strong com
panles with a long record of ample
earnings over interest charges. The
SWISS IS are, in our opinion, one of the
best OF the foreign government bonds,
and the Northwe estern Bell is good
public utility bond. Montana Power,
while it does not have quite per
cent yield, would strengthen your list.
The bonds are first and refunding SIS.
due 1943, recently selling at "a, WELD
ing 6.31 per cent if held to maturity.
1t is comparatively easy to get fairly
high degree of safety and between 7
and per cent yield on short term
bonds. but the high grade bonds run
ming for more than fifteen years are
selling at a somewhat lower yield than
per cent. The Canadian Northern T
per cent bonds, due 1910, guaranteed
principal and interest by the Canadian
Government, and recently selling at
10l 7s, meet your requirements almost.
Pennsylvania Railroad 6ls bosds, due
1885, recently selling at about So, yield,
II held to maturity, almost per cent.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-01

Question---Do you advise me to follow
the advice IN the enclosed letter. ny N.
vested capital is not large and do not
wish to endangor tho safety OF any part oi
It's. j. Men.
Answer We entirely agree with the
statement that the stock of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Conf
pany Of which there Is only one class,
is a good investment You say, how
ever, that your invested capital is not
large. We would have liked to, have
known wheaher you are entirely depen-
dent on income from your investments
and how large share. OF your total m
vestment is made up of American Tele-
rhone and Telegraph 8 per cent bonds.
Assuming that, az 1t is now, you have
just about enough to live on COMFORT
ably from your income on your invest
ments. the $40 additional income on
each $1,000 that YOU would get by CON
verting your bonds INTO stock, while
it might be acceptable. would not be
worth while IL by making the exchange
| if through some unforeseen circum.
stances the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company had to suspend
dividends. There is promise to pay
regardless of earnings, the interest or
your bonds. There is no promise to
pay behind American Telephone and
Telegraph stock. III earnings are suf-
ficent, the company will continue divi-
dends, presumably. In view of your
stated high requirements for safety, We
would not advise you to make the con-
version. When, however, your bonds
sell at 106 or over, you might well sell
them and buy higher grade bonds, such
as Northwestern Bell Telephone rs due
1941. You will get higher yield, a
market price of the Telephone and
Telegraph convertible bond, you now
hold is made higher by its convert
BILE features, and as long as you do not
wish to convert there is no use OF
paying for your cake when you are not
going to eat it.

workineman viii invest $1,000

Question: am a workingman with
$1,000 to invest. Would you kindly tell
me what you think about the state of

1, 1885. Dawson Chemical Company per
cent sinking fund gold bonds due February
1, 1896? These bonds have been recon-
mended to me. / am fifty live years old
w. H. G.
Answer The state of Sac Paulo s
per cent bonds yield, if held till ma
turity in 1895, 8.29 per cent. This is
rather high yield, and on the face of
it it would be more conservative for a
workingman to invest his savings in
Government of Switzerland IS, due
1910, selling at 1041a, but we consider
the Sac Paulo bonds good investment.
The Grand Trunk equipment trust GER
tiicates are, in our opinion, sound
investment for your savings. We
would prefer either these or Swiss IS
to Virginia-Carolina Chemical 7As,
although the latter is we'll secured and.
in our opinion, good investment.

others.-W. E. p.
Answer-We think the St. Lon;s- San
francisco prior lien 4s due 1850 are a
good Investment for a man who has
as broad a knowledge of investment
conditions as your letter shows YOU
nave. The adjustment bonds, on the
other hand, are, in our opinion. specu-
iative, and while of course You can
wait until you see which way the rail
road situation finally appears to be
headed, to do so will involve specula-
tlon. A continuance of present con-
dltlons might we'll result in a lower
price Tor Frisco adjustment bonds and

est. Your International Motor Truck
first preferred is also somewhat specu-
iatlve. The business itself is specu-
lative and a security which depends
SO closely on earnings for payment of
income on it partakes of that specu-
lation much more than a fixed inter
est rate bond would. The st. Paul
Kansas City Short Line 41as are we'll
secured and even if the worst should
happen and the parent company, the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific,
should. get into financial difficulties,
the principal at least and presumably
the interest on the first AVS would be
paid: We consider both United States
Rubber notes and Duquesne Light 6s
good investments and believe that the
French IS, although the market price
is now somewhat depressed because of
conditions in Europe, are a good in
vestment. The Wisconsin Electric
Power 71ss are a good first mortgage
public utility bond and the Barnsdall
8 per cent sinking fund bonds due 1881
are In our opinion q good investme ent
for a man who will watch conditions
in the oil business fairly closely. Your
Midi Railroad bonds are guaranteed
by the. Republic of France. The gam
BILE, of course, lies in the exchange
feature.
