YOU favor the exchange for the per cent
debentures?--H. w. +. jr.
Answer-Although We do not know
whether you will get better price
for your Big Four preferred by refus-
ing to accept the first offer, we do be-
lieve that Big -Four preferred is bet
ter investment than New York Gem
trail common. Your second question,
if treated purely as an investment
proposition, seems to call for but one
answer. If you are seeking conserva-
tive investment you will come nearer
to getting it by casning the Cities
Service preferred scrip and reinvest-
ing the proceeds than by exchanging
the scrip for per cent dcbentures..
If, however, you are in position to
watch earnings Of the company and
feel willing to assume the business
risks you may accept the bonds for
scrip.

Chile So. Brazil ss or French ss are a. safe
Investment. and how they compare with
each other? Also please give me all pos
sible information on Public Service OF New
Jersey SIS, is5s---J NJ. T.
Answer-The three foreign bonds
you mention fall roughly in the same
class. They are suitable only for an
investor in a position to watch hnan
cial and political conditions in the
countries whose securities he holds,
provided he holds other securities of
higher grade. In other words, we
would not suggest these bonds for a
first investment. We should rate them
as to desirability in about the order
you list them. As for the Public Serv-
ice Corporation of New Jersey 5s, 1859,
it may be said that these are the
obligations of a conservatively man
aged public utility and form a good
investment security. There is out
standing something like $50, ,00n. 600 of
an authorized issue Of $4,000, ,oo0. The
bonds are redeemable as a whole at
105 and interest on eight weeks notice
or for sinking fund on four weeks no.
tice. They are secured by q mortgage
on all the property. franchises, lease
holds, etc, now owned or hereafter ac-
quired, subject to $19,130,285 perpetual
interest bearing certificates On q por-
ton thereof. They are listed on the
New York Stock Exchange and are
readily marketable They may be pur
chased around IS to yield approximate
ly 6 per cent to maturity.

Denver & Rio Grande

touestion--Will you please publish In
your financial column what tho protective
&C n mittee for the Denver & RIO t;rande
RAILWAY has accomplished or II creditors
OF the bankrupt firm of Kcrdos G. Burke
may expect anything ?-B. McC.
Answer-Efforts Of the two protec-
tive committees opposing the reorgani-
zation of the Denver Rio Grande
proposed by the Western Pacific have
not yet resulted in any definite action.
One committee, headed by Richard
Sutro, and the other by James H. Per-
kins, president of the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company, issued calls for
deposit of the adjustment per cent
bonds and the first and refunding SIS,
but have not made an announcement
regarding the volume of deposits re-
ceived. No provision was made for the
Denver G. Rio Grande stock in the
Western Pacihc's reorganization plan.
Robert P. Stephenson, chief receiver
for Kardos & Burke, informs us that
creditors will probably receive less
than 10 cents on the dollar. The dis
tribution is not likely to take place
before some time in the fall owing to
pending court proceedings in other
districts

either of the large systems that have
been credited with attempting to gain

about the way the Rutland has struck

but the fact that Improvement in re-

flying from the standpoint of STOCK
holders. Net operating income after

read the situation correctly they
are even more intensely inter
ested in the price at which the
stock is likely to be taken for ccnsoli-
dation purposes. From the viewpoint
Of the stockholders. the more advan-
tageous plan of consolidation would be
the Ripley plan, linking the Rutland
with the New York Central. The trans
portation act approves of and urges
consultations. but stipulates that con.
solidations shall not be carried out TO
the extent of stiding competition. You
will recall that in 1912 the Rutland mi
nority. stockholders obtained an order
restraining the New Haven from pur-
chasing control Of the Rutland, and
they gave as their reason for ebjecting
the fact that the two roads were COM
petitors. The rumors, opinions and
dlgests which you sent us conform TO
talk heard in certain Wall Street GUAR

to any definite conclusion. The situa-
tion will have to develop further before

posted And what would be their a ap- ap-
proximate charge for handling the trans

Answer-There is hardly any ques-
tion but that your Chicago bank would
be willing to attend to the cashing of
coupons or the shipment of bonds for
collection at maturity. These are the
services which banks are performing
continually. We consider Federal
Land Bank bonds good investments.
There are good and Indifferent munie-
ipal bonds, and the good rank next to
United States government bonds in in
vestment worth. They are not bought
Glindly by banking houses and not Of :
fered to the public by responsible
houses until there is assurance thar
all the qualifications of good bond
have been met. In way, therefore,
It is . reasonably accurate rule to Judge
municipal bonds by the yield that they

est types Of city and state bonds are

They range from that figure all the
way up to 54s per cent, the elemaas
