Answer--We consider Northern Pa
cihc stock safer as per cent divi-
dend payer than when the rate was 7
per cent and can see no reason why
you should dispose of it. The first six
stocks on your list are good, in our
opinion, but if YOU are preparing an
investment from which to derive your
entire income few years hence we
think that you should support these
six stocks together with your Allied
Chemical preferred, with good bonds.
per cent stock for United States Steel
preferred s good move. We see no
reason why you should wait for the
rumored payment of dividends on Mis-
souri, Pacific preferred and Southern
Railway preferred. The former stock
has had a remarkable advance in re-
cent months and the dividend payment,
when it comes, will be discounted. Of
course. there may be chance of get
ting better prices for these stocks, but
in the meantime the price of bonds
which YOU should accept as sub
sttute investment is advancing. If
you will sell these stocks there is no
reason why you should not dispose of
st. Paul preferred at the same time.
The Queensland 6s rate highly among
foreign bonds, but if you arc hesitant
about investing outside this country
we would suggest New York Edison
6hs, 1871, selling recently for a cur
rent return of about & per cent:
Lorillard IS 1914, selling around 1l4l,
for return Of about 6 per cent:
United States Rubber 5s, l947, selling
recently for current return Of 5s4
per cent; Hooking Valley 412s. 1899.
selling to return about 5.3 per cent
New-York tribune., 1922-04-24

Answer-We wish to state before
making any recommendation that it
will be impossible for you to exchange
these bonds for ones that are not call
able without sacrificing either security
or income. The nearest you can come
to striking an average between these
two factors is in the substitution of
bonds such as the following: State of
Queensland Is, 1941, selling around
10Sl2; Missouri, Kansas {: Texas prior
lien 5s, 1862, selling around 50; Hud-
son E. Manhattan 5s, 1947. selling to
yield about ga per cent; Public Service
Corporation of New Jersey Is. 1859,
selling recently 70 yield about 6.2 per
cent; Canadian Northern Is, 1910, SELL
ing around 10, to yield about sos per
cent and not redccmablc until 1885;
Grand Trunk Is. 1910. selling around
100 z for a yield of about 6l2 per cen,
and not caIable until 1885; French
government 7l3s, 1871, selling arounu
103 for a yield of TO per cent; Appa-
lachian Power Is, 1886, selling around
81. Unless you want to speculate on
further rise in sterling exchange you
might substitute some straight invest
ment issue for the United Kingdom IS,
1929. The 1897 issue or one of the
Canadian provincial bonds would be a
good substitute.

New-York tribune., 1922-04-24

Answer on probably know the in
vcstmcnt character of the Erie and
New Haven bonds, so VIC will refrain
from saying anything about them for
fear of being accused of "rubbing it
in.' The st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba 6s arc a good bond, but we
would describe the Iowa Central 5s
as third grade railroad issue. They
arc. however, secured by a first mort
gage at a conservative rate per mile
and might not be disturbed in a reor-
ganization. The Housatonic Railroad
7s belong in the same general class as
the New Haven bonds. We can con-
firm your judgment on the disposal Of
the railroad stocks only TO the point
Of stating that the st. Paul and New
Haven shares have no place in a sound
investment program. We would de-
scribe the Chicago e. Northwestern
and Pennsylvania stocks as the kind
Of investments suitable for an ACTIVE
business man who has his hand on the
pulse of the transportation industry.
A great number Of women hold
Pennsylvania stock, but that does not
dctract from its speculative characters
lstlcs. The management has announced
its purpose Of restoring the per cent
dividend rate whenever it is possible
to do so without handicapping main
tenance. That, as matter Of, fact,
is the purpose Of the board of di-
rectors of every railroad that has had
to curtail dividend payments in recent
years Your investment, as whole,
would be strengthened, as You must
know, by the sale of all these stocks
and the substitution therefor OF sound
bonds.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-24

Answer-Your selection, seem to be
as we'll made IS is possible under the
limitations which your friend imposes,
However. we DO not like the Eric g.
Jersey 6s. which are, after all, an Eric
Railroad obligation. Your friend
should look first to the current return
and not 40 much TO the yield to
maturity, and, such being the case, he
could greatly strengthen this list by
substituting Great Northern Is for the
Erie g. Jersey 6s. The difference in
annual return at recent market prices
would be only about one-quarter per
cent. Again, the current return on the
St. Louis San Francisco adjustment 6s
(interest paid only if earned), is about
7.8 per cent. One of the better for
eign bonds bearing a ~ or per cent
coupon would be n good substitute for
this issue, especially as the need for
income will be most pressing during
the next three or four years. City Of
Christiania IS are selling for current
return Of about rs per cent and they
are not callabe until 1925. Here again
you would be Strengthening the invest
ment as a whole without changing in
come materially.
