Doubtful of /. M. M.

Question: hold ten shares of Interna-
tional Mercantle Marine which bought
at IS something more than month ago.
AS you know, 1t has reacted little but ap-
pears to be fixed at about the II to 73
figure. I bought it largely on account OF
the cumulative dividends which l under
stand have accrued would appreciate
your advice as to how. you feel about the
possibility of such dividends ever being
paid and whether you feel it wise for me
20 hold the stock or sell at the present
market price,. L. G.
Answer-If you are holding the pre-
ferred stock of international Mercah-
tile Marine in the hope that the accu-
mutation of AZ per cent in dividends
will be paid within easonable time
We do not think present conditions in
the shipping business warrant your
position. If you are desirous of max
ing a conservative investment we sug-
gest the selection Of an industrial or
railroad preferred stock that has rec
ord of regular dividend payments over
a long period of years. We are in
no position to forecast possibilities of
future payments of dividend accumu-
lations on Mercantile Marine.

The Value of Reading Stocks

Question: Please advise if It would be

Would it be advisable to sell Reading and
invest in some other stock? Name same

order of the court will be carried out? I

Der Of CRITTERS on the anxious seat

Answer-There are so many elements
entering into she Reading segregation
proceedings that it is impossible to
determine what advantage will accrue
TO the stockholders when the plan is
finally adopted The best you can do
under the circumstances is to take it
for granted that the present market
prices Of the three classes of stock
reflect the consensus Of opinion ON the
benefits that the stockholders will
receive. These statements, indefinite
IS he situation itself is, must cover
your first four questions. Frankly, we
do not know whether Reading common
will be worth more than at present
when the decree is finally executed,
and we do not know whether Reading
common is likely to go to par. Such
development is possible but we ques
