Timken Roller Bearing Offering

The Timkena Roller Bearing Com
pany has readjdstcd it's capital, hither-
to owned almost exclusively by the
Timken family, as result Of which a
portion of their holdings has been &C
quired and placed privately by q
group Of bankers. A public offering
of the stock is expected to be made
early next week by syndicate
headed by Hornblower & Weeks and
including Dominick & Dominick, G. d.
Barney & Co., F. B. Keech g. Co. and
Otis Co. The Offering price will be
around $50 share. 1t is stated that
the Roller Bearing Company has no
connection with The Timken Axel Com
pany except to sell its product to it.
The plants are located at Canton and
Columbus, Ohio, where the company
makes tapered roller bearings and
supplies about so per cent of the trade.

Ajax Tire Outlook

Question: writing to you for your
opinion giving you the following data:
am holding siXtyfve shares of Ajax Tire
and Rubber. which average me about s2l
share. The market now Is much lower.
am at loss as to what to do next
whether to buy moro or hold what
have. or trade all in for another kind of
stock which is more active.--C. D. P.
Answer-We have no means Of fore
casting future prices of stocks, espe
cially so speculative one as Ajax Tire
and Rubber. 1t may be pointed out
that there is considerable element of
uncertainty in the future profits of rub
her companies as result of the un-
checked growth of raw rubber supplies
and the consequent price unsettlement.
Ajax has shown improvement, however.
Most large tire producers have enjoyed
plenty of business this year, but keen
competition has brought about price
reductions and the effect on profits will
not be known until financial statements
for the year are announced. The specu-
lator unfamiliar with financial condi-
tions of the company whose stock he
holds, therefore, is laboring under
considerable. handicap in deciding
whether to continue to hold his stock
or to exchange for another security.

Prospects of Cuban Loan

Bankers believe that $50,0o0,000
Cuban loan will occupy an important
place on the schedule of autumn hota-
tions, but that certain obstacles remain
to be overcome before the bonds can
be offered here. The Zayas administra-
tion, it was said yesterday, has ac-
complished many reforms at the sug-
geston Of General Crowder, repre-
sentative on the island of the State
Department, and is apparently pre-
pared to accept the American program
in it's entirety. The opposing faction
on the island, however, is seeking to
block the fotation Of an external loan
on the ground that Cuba's financial re-
quirements can be met at home, and
has been able to delay favorable ac-
tion on the loan authorization bill
now before the Cuban Congress. Bank
ers who have examined the situation
closely say that, with the banking sys-
TEN and other financial machinery tied
up, Cuba cannot attain economic and
financial equilibrium without borrow
ing abroad, and are confident that the
bill will be enacted. Pending that
event, it is unlikely that there will be
any discussion of terms here.

u. 8. Steel Scores New High

United States Steel common again
assumed position Of leadership in
the market yesterday and under the
urge OF aggressive buying made q new
high for the year at 1o4A, compared
with the last previous high of 103A
The strength in the worlds premier
industrial issue was impaired to the
independent steels and was attributed
to the belief that the railroad execu-
tives and union leaders in conference
at 81 Broadway would reach an agree
ment which would terminate the shop
mems strike, This strike has been a
serious hindranee to operations at the
mills and has made it impossible for
the companies TO accept ali the busi-
ness offered. 1t is believed that q re.
sumption Of normal freight service
would be reflected Immediately in
larger earnings

Allied Chemicals Outlook

Cuestion-Will you please tell me what
yon think of Allied Chemical as an invest.
ment stock, both common and preferred ?
&C. q. r.
Answer-Allied Chemical preferred is
suitable for a business man in posi-
tion to keep in touch with market con-
ditions and the affairs of the com
pany. At present there is some unset
tlement in the stocks of this company
because Of the uncertainty as to tariff
legislation on dyes. The common stock
reflects these speculative possibilities
selling at present tos yield about 51s
per cent, and indicating anticipation on
the part of traders of an increase in
the dividend rates.

Worthington Pump

Selling in Worthington Pump yes
terday, which caused a break OF more
than points in the stock, served to
focus attention on the next meeting of
directors, which is scheduled to take
place next Tuesday. Doubt was ex-
pressed in some quarters as to the
continuance of the present Sd dividend
on the common stock. 1t was con-
sidered likely that the Forthcoming
meeting would be postponed for at
least month owing to the poor out
look for obtaining q quornm Of the
members Of the board. On September
8, 1921, the company reduced the an
nual dividend on the common from So
to Sd and declared the full dividend
for year, payable per cent quarterly
The last installment was payable July

What's Behind
Active Stocks !?
75-st. Paul

AS closely knit system fifteen
years ago the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul Railway was one of the
most prosperous carriers in the
country To-day, as semi-trans-
continental system competing with
two other lines serving the same
general territory, it's position is un-
certain. The costly extension to
the Pacific Coast has yet to justify
it's existence. AS result of ex-
pansion the st. Paul has a burden
some debt, totaling, as of Decem-
Der 81, 1921, $413,639, 900, and cost
ing over $18,000,00o annually in in
terest. The $117,411,300 common
stock is preceded by $115,93f 800 of
per cent non-cumulatiye preferred.
Road and equipment are carried
at $641, ,083,000 Prior to the suspen-
sion of dividends on both stocks
about five years ago, the preferred
had received regular payments dat
ing back to 1853, and the common,
with. the exception of three years,
back to 1879. In the years 1918 and
1919 the st. Paul failed to earn
fixed charges and in 1920 had
large deficit before fixed charges,
but in this period the system was
tided over by government compensa-
tion and guaranty. In 1921 there
was an operating profit Of almost
$10,00o,000 to meet fixed charges
greatly in excess of that amount.
There has been some Improvement
thus far this year, but fixed charges
have not been earned. The st. Paul
carries a we'll diversified list Of
commodities, the largest item, btu
minous coal, constituting less than
90 per cent of the total tonnage.
Range of common stock since 1900:
High, 1895, in 1905; low, 16h, in
1922; yesterdays close, 325a. The

Telephone and Telegraph Suggested

:. Question: have about $500 to invest
Have been advised tn take American Tele.
phone and Telegraph, s122 per share Is
this a good Investment Is this high
grade or how does 1t generally run
Would you advise some other good bonds
ROW can they best be got 20. w. l..
Answer-Although American Tele-
phone and Telegraph cannot be ranked
with United States Steel preferred and
some other high grade preferred stocks
it nevertheless is a good invest
ment security, suitable especially for o
person in a position to keep in touch
with the company's affairs. Unless YOU
have a few good bonds, it may be well
to take some of this kind of security
first, placing funds in stocks after YOU
have solid foundation Your bank
may handle the transaction for you.
