American Radiator

Question-WIll YOU kindly let me have
your opinion Regarding American Radiator
stock as an Investment What Is the
present financial position of this company
and prospective earnings7-L. M
Answer The American Radiator
Company. is strong organization. hav-
ing paid regular per cent dividends
on the preferred stock since 1899. The
common stock has pad dividends in
varying amounts in cash and stock A
general balance sheet of the company
shows working capital to have in
creased from $7,180,321 in 1915 to $12,-
341, 1862 in 1921. Surplus stands at Sill
324335 as of December 81, 1921. We
could hardly be expected to pr edct as
to prospective earnings of the com
pany, but an official of the company is
quoted as saying that directors might
consider resumption of the regular
stock dividends after their return from
their trip of inspection throughout
Europe.

Outlook for Fertilizer Stocks

Question: notice that the America n
Agricultural and the Virginia Carolina
companies have both had to borrow money
to tide them over the depression: both
issuing bonds that come ahead of their
stocks The International company seems
not to ha We had to do this Does this sig
Nifty that this company is in better shape
financially than the other two. or does 1t
mean that the banks are carrying their
notes payable? The point ] am trying to
settle in my own mind Is this: Are not
the chances OF renewed dividends on In
ternatlonal Agricultural preferred as good
as those of the competing companies,
pecally as the mortgage debt of the In
ternationai has been cut down regularly
each year by a substantial amount? Each
given in the news. LIS the rate given one
that brokers only obtain. or Is II one that
applies to customers OF various banks on
loans they may have secured by securt
ties at their respective banks?-H. M. G.
Answer--An examination of balance
sheets of the Virginia Chem
ical Company and of the international
Agricultural Corporation indicates that
these companies are affected in proper
tionate degree by business conditions.
Financing of the first mentioned com
pany is necessitated on a larger scale,
requiring bond issues, while the Interna-
tional company has been able to finance
its smaller requirements by temporary
accommodations. 1t would be difficult
to arrive at q decision that could have
sound reasoning as q basis for deter
mining which of these companies will
the more quickly recover from depres-
sion in business. The daily quoted rate
for time money applies principally to
brokers' loans, although rates vary
slightly with different banks and in
stitutions. The rate on all loans is
further governed by the character Of
the collateral pledged.

Exchanging British Bonds

Question: have 50, 900 United Kingdom
OF Great Britain and ireland bonds So
lasp, which contemplate changing for
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
ireland bizs. 1887 Would you advise me
to make the change, is II more atiyan-
shgeeus to hold en- to the 1897 sup
pose that one series is safe the
other. T. G.
Answer You are correct in suppos-
ing that the United Kingdom 5tas,
1929, are just as safe as the issue ma
turing eight years later, The aues-
ton of holding the 1929 issue or ex-
changing it for the more distant
maturity is one for the individual in
weston to answer for himself, for
after all it is question of individual
Judgment on the future course of sterl-
ing exchange. The 1929 bonds will ad-
vance as sterling moves toward par.
1t is our opinion that, barring another
war, sterling will be at or near par
in 1929.
