De Beers Mines American shares have
paid dividends of $236 in July, 1920:

TO increase capitalization 80 as to
make it equal invested capital" The
rise in the price Of the common stock
OF this company may be attributed to
ANTICIPATION Of stock dividend and the
decline to the fact that stock divi-
dcnd Of 90 per cent in per cent cumu-
lativc preferred was paid February Is
to holders of the common or February
l. 1922. Selling Eek" this dividend
would automatically reduce the price OF
the stock 90 per cent and profit taking
would increase the decline. Earnings
OF THIS company are undoubtedly af-
fccted by the coal strike, tho settle
mcnt of which seems uncc rtain. Divi-
dends at tho rate of per cent have
been paid since January 25, 1919 We
would rarely call dividends "ssfe" or

OF their holdings. as rule Any
amount left goes to the common. pro
rata, Dividends on preferred stock
may be cumulative or non-cumulativc.
For example, Radio Corporation of

dends OF I per cent annually before

these payments do not become cumu-
latlve until after 1928, so that although
no dividend may be paid up to 1924.
1T IS not until the beginning Of that
year that the preferred stock is entitled
TO accumulations at the rate Of 7 per

celVo anything until 7 por cent is paid
ON the preferred. Common stock is

good Will, etc Most states require
that the charter of a company state
what provisions, if any, secure the pre-
TERED stocks, and also whether vot-
ing power is vested in the common or
preferred or both stocks. The present
interest in wireless telephony seems
to have encouraged a great many per
sons to believe that stock Of the Radio
Corporation of America may be con
sldcred an investment Until the cor
noratlon has demonstrated its earning
power over greater length of time
Radio stock must be considered specu-
latlve and the purchaser should be in

Answer The Traylor Engineering and
Manufacturing Company was incorno-
rated IN Delaware in 1911. Capital stock
to the amount of $62S,600 preferred
and S0o0,0OO common was issued. The
preferred is of 500 par value, and 10

nave been paid regularly since organ.
ilzatIon. The par value of the common
Is So, and the last dividend paid was 10
per cent. in April, 1921. The present
bond offering is secured by a closed
mortgage on the entire physical prop
erty of the company at Allentown, Pa.
The original market for these bonds
was Durant & Harrow, Savannah, Ca,
who offered the bonds at % and in
tcrest in July, 1921. The stocks of this
company have not q wide market, and
we have been unable to obtain recent
quotations. We would class these
bonds as suitable for business man In
position to assume the risks involved.

Oil Merger Talk

Despite recent denials from Pitts
burgh that any negotiations are under
way involving merger of the Stand
ard Oil Company of Indiana with the
Gulf Refining Company the rumor per-
sists in the financial district. The
hitch. it is said. rests in the terms tina
the big stockholding interests in Gulf
Refining a re demanding. Although the
latter are understood to be asking $500
a share for their stock, the best offer is
understood to have been $500 or the
equivalent. An alternative. which
might work out satisfactorily to both
sides, would be an exchange of Ave
shares Of Indiana stock for one share
OF Gulf Refining. The latter Is rich In
assets. 1t has q surplus Of Sill. .0O0,-

Preferred and Common Stocks

Question VIII you kindly toll me the
Hltetruce between preferred and common
stock am thinking about investing a III
tie money is stock of the Radio Corporation
OF America. Would you advise buying pre-
ferred or common stock? Do YOU think II,
is a good investment?-W L. McQ.
Answer-The term "preferred' in
connection with stock is used to ndi-
cate what the word suggests-a prefer
ence over any other class Of stock
ISSUED. 1t depends on the charter of a
company to what extent preference is
given. AS a general rule voting power
is vested in the common, while the
preferred is first entitled to distribu-
tion Of dividends. The declaration Of
common stock dividends rests with the
board of directors OF company. In
the event Of liquidation, the claims o.
bondholders and general creditors hav-
INC been satisfied, the preferred stock
holders receive pro rata distribution
Of assets remaining up to the par value
