Converting Telephone Bonds.
u has recently been brought out
that large amounts of American
Telephone and telegraph convertible
bonds have been converted in t.Ie last
lew months. There are only two is
sues of convertible bonds which still
retsin that privilege. the Convert
ible As of 1886 having lost their con-
Version privilege several years ago.
There now remain the Convertible
4izs os 1898 and the Convertible IS
of 1925. The former may be con-
Verted into the comou stock at the
ratio of SI20 a bond or 500 bonds
and $50 cash for each share. There
are very few of these now outstand-
ing as compared with the original
amount, and by no means enough to
psny any concern as to the maturity
hecaues they are so sure of conver-
sion. in the first place. and because
-efunding of less than $4,000. 600
bonds 10 by-play for the company.
There are more of the Convertible
ss out. but less than half of the
amount outstanding at the begin
niug of the year. There are con-
ssr1ible on the basis of 500 in
Bonds and s6 in cash for each share
Of stock. In this case also the bonds
are certain to be converted before
maturity two years from next Au-
gust. There is good reason for con-
version now in both cases The man
Mbo holds one of the Concertihle 6s
by so exchanging increases his in
come per $1,000 bond from $50 per
wear to $50 per year. There is. of
Course. a payment of $50 necessary
to make this exchange. but this is
more than made up for by the in
crease in market value of the
amount of stock secured beyond
that of the bonds surrendered. This
Is equally true of the Convertible

profit in excess of 8 per cent of the
actual annual cost of production
thereof and to turn over to the United
States Nitrate Plant No. 2 whenever
it shall be required for the national
defense. He likewise asks for pref
erence in opportunity to purchase or
lease the property at the end of the
lease period and for the right for a
period not stated, to be supplied with
electric power at reasonable rates in
an amount equal to his average con-
sumption during the previous ten
years, in case the plant is operated
and his company does not purchase or
lease it. He also states that his pro-
posal must be accepted as whole and
not in part. -
There are number of advantages
to the government in the present pro-
posal that were not apparent in the
first offer. Mr.. Ford's original pro-
posal of July 8, 1921, contained two
paragraphs dealing with the matter
of amortization of the cost of con-
struction Of the two dams. In the pres
ent proposal the subjects of amorti-
zation is covered in one paragraph,
No. 10, which reads as follows:
"For the purpose of enabling the
government to create and provide a
sinking fund to retire the cost of Dam
No. 3 at the end of one hundred (1OO)
years, the company will, at the begin
ming of the fourth (4th) year Of the

after for the remaining term of the

Bulgaria Tottering
Under Burden of Debt

Sofia, Feb. 3.-Bulgaria is totter-
ing under burden of debt and idem-
mites which it's financiers say will
take several generations to liquidate.
Under the peace treaty the smallest
of the belligerent nations is required
to pay the Allies 100000 francs
gold ($45O, O,OOO,OOO.1.
Converted into Bulgarian francs
(evas) at the current rate of ex-
change, this amounts to the stagger-
ing total of 67,0OO,OOO,O0O levas. If
to this sum is added the country's ex-
ternal and internal debt of 100000
100000 levas, total of 100000, ,OOO,-
900 levas is reached. (Nominally a
Bulgarian leva would be worth about
19 cents.)
Nobody knows, even the Bulgars
themselves, how this colossal sum
can be paid without wrecking the
country and exhaustings it's resources.
Under the Neuilly agreement the
Bulgarians were to pay their first in
stalment of the $45O,000, 900 idemnity
in 1919, but up to the present they
have lapsed in three instalments.
Bulgarian government officials say
they can make the state solvent and
pay all it's obligations If the powers
will waive the indemnity payments
for a reasonable periodeof time. They
insist they can make little progress
so long as the Reparations Commits
sion holds the indemnity demand over
their heads like Damocles' sword.
The country's total outstanding pa
per money amounts to 3,25O,000,000
levas, only one-third of which is COW
cred by gold reserve.
An encouraging feature in Bull
garia's otherwise apparently hopeless
financial and economic situation is
the steady increase in her exports.
which for 1921 were in the proper
tion of 8 to 1-2 to her imports.
With the object of stimulating ex-
ports and imports the government is
planning the establishment of an in
ternational bank, cmposed in part of
foreign capital, with branches or rep
resentatives throughout the world.
An effort will be made to interest
American bankers in the institution.
