Seneca Copper,s Decline

Question: read with interest your In
yestmeDt suggestions and replies to aues-
tions relative to investments. etc am
at a loss to understand why Seneca Cop
per has dropped from % share in Janu-
ary OF this year to its present price OF
L. Can you tell me If there is some
definite reason for this decline In the face
of the general upward trend in the price
of practically all stocks? begin to believe
there must be. II you can help me 1
shall appreciate your favor.-A T. NJ.
Answer-The situation in Seneca
Copper stock has been the subject of
much gossip in Wall Street for many
months. What happened was this: A
noted plunger and pool operator was
engaged by Seneca Copper interests to
handle the market in Seneca stock. The
price of the stock was forced upward
by this pool operation, the appreciation
having but faint relation TO the condi-
tion of the company as producer of
revenue. When the pool and the man
agement disagreed, support was with
drawn and the stock naturally dropped
nearer to the proper level. That
is the situation in Seneca. The stock
is extremely speculative and lends it,
self easily to market operations.

D. Fl. Nj.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Air Brake
has not passed the dividend on its
stock A dividend Of 81 share was
paid on July 81. We do not think,
however, that your problem is solved
even though the company is paying $4
annual rate on it's stock. If the 100
shares of Westinghouse Air Brake
stock constitute any large percentage
Of your relatives holdings, we feel
that her investments as whole lack
diversification. The time to correct
this condition is not when a stock
has passed its dividend but rather
when it is possible to sell without much
loss. Without knowing how extensive
your relatives investments are it is
dltticult to suggest whether all this
LOO shares or what portion of
it should be disposed of. The income
return on United States Steel common
at current market prices is approx
mately. that of gilt edged bonds. The
natural inference is that Steel COM
mon is selling high on expectations
Of an increase in the dividend rate
We do not know that any such in
crease is contemplated but the pur-
chase of stock with appreciation of
principal as motive borders on specu-
iation. We suggest the following
preferred stocks: New York! Telephone
6hs per cent, Endicott johnson 7 per
cent, American Ice per cent, and Pere
Marquette prior preference per cent.
also the following bonds Kingdom of
Denmark 6s, due 1912, returning about
6 per cent; Canadian Northern rs, due
l94o, returning about 62 per cent;
Great. Northern rs, due 1885, return
ing, about So per cent; Canadian Gen
eral Electric IS, due 1943, returning
about 6.9 per cent; Wilson & Co. 6s,
due l94l, returning about 6 per cent.
and Philadelphia Company IS, due
1914, returning about 6 per cent. The
return in each case is the current re-
turn and not the yield to maturity.
Westinghouse Electric stock ranks
among the high grade common stocks

the present market price. The Bel

Wants Old Age Income

Question: am desirous of arranging
for an income beginning at the age of Atty
win you please advise me as to a good
method of arranging this My attention
has h bee been rai, called to an income bond issued
of New York. VIII you kindly give mo
your opinion as to the advisab bility of
Mrs. N b. + +. NJ. p''p0S''''i oi Luis Niho =
Answer-We interpret your question
as to method for providing you with
an annual income after reaching so to
eliminate outright investment in Sc
curltles, and for your purpose we think
of no better plan whereby the pay
ment of certain sum annually to a
given age will secure to you the an
nual payment Of stated sum after
you have attained the given age, than
the Income" bond you have men
toned. You have not stated your age,
so that it will be necessary for you to
consult life insurance agent to obtain
the premium you would be called upon
to pay. The plan you refer to oper-
ates in this manner, we understand: If
you are thirty years of age and wish to
secure the payment to you of $40
month at the age of fifty and like
amount each month thereafter as long
as you live you will be required to
pay a premium of $81.33 to the insur-
ance company issuing the bond each
year for twenty years. In the event of
death occurring previous to the age
of fifty your beneficiary will receive
an amount equaling the total premiums
you have paid. Should death occur
after age of fifty and before you have
received income payments equaling In,
amount the total premiums paid
your beneficiary will receive the
unpaid balance. After income pay
ments equal premium payments your
beneficiary would receive nothing at
your death. Income payments, as
stated before, continue during your
lifetime. Premiums paid participate
as to dividends, and this increases
slightly the value Of the policy.

OF the company were sold by court order
that the stock c@n. therefore have nc
value! Is 1t possible for me to sell my
stock. having only the stockholders com
nittee depository receipt ? Would you ad-
wise me to do so?-H. c. C.

ing traded in around So a share
Although the assets of the company
have been sold, it is thought by some
that the stockholders will be recog-
nized in the reorganization and it is
for this reason that some speculative
value is estimated for the old stock.
The certificates of deposit are not
listed on the Curb and if you are con
4tenlplating disposal of your holdings
we suggest that you attempt to reclaim
your stock as we do not find any
market for the certificates. We have
no opinion as to the outlook fer the

Can | buy through the banks, or how dc I
80 e, anou, ~ Is Public Service Corpora
ton of New Jersey good. safe investmen mt
| understand it is paying per cent. Does
1t pay this interest continuously or will IL
huctuate? What is the difference between
preferred and common stock?--H. p. H
Answer--Public Service Corporation
OF New Jersey preferred stock has
been receiving regular dividends at
the rate of per cent year since
1919, and in this respect the stock
cannot be rated as seasoned issue.
The dividend is cumulative, which is
to say that if for any reason the com
pany is compelled to suspend dividend
payments all payments SO suspended
must be made before any dividend can
be paid on the common stock. A pre-
ferred stock is entitled to fixed rate
OF dividend, in this case per cent. 1t
has the advantage over the common
stock in that the preferred has prior
claim on any earnings available for
dividends. Except in few cases the
preferred is limited to the designated
rate and cannot share in the excep-
tional earnings of prosperous times,
whereas the common stock may re-
ceive extra dividends. Although the
Public Service Corporation of New
Jersey is a prosperous company, op-
Grating we'll diversified system, we
do not rank the per cent stock as
first grade preferred issue. We sug-
gest that you invest your $4,000 in
twenty shares Of New York Telephone
63s per cent preferred stock, selling
recently around 11o. and $1,000 United
States Rubber 5s, 1947, selling to yield
about 81 per cent After that you
may consider Public Service Of N. j.

Consolidated Railroad Stock

Question: have some. preferred stock
in the n. Z. Consolidated Railroad. Can
you please inform me what the shares
are &c. II.
Answer-The New York Consolidated
Railroad was Incorporated in 1912 as
consolidation of the Sea Beach Rail-
way, Brooklyn Union Elevated Rail-
read and Canarsie Railroad. 1t has
since acquired ali the stock of the
New York Municipal Railway Corpora
tion. All rights of the latter COM
pany under its contract with the city
for operation of the subways have been
assigned to the New York Consolidated.
On December 81, 1918, Lindley M. Gar
rison was appointed receiver of the
Consolidated. The Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company controls s13,43o,s31
of the s13,9o0,o0o common and S4,TS5,-
sS6 of the $5,ooe,o00 preferred stock
of the Consolidated. No dividend has
been paid on the stock since Decem-
ber, 19A&s

Fears Possibly of Receivership

Question: would greatly appreciate an
information you may have the follow
ing companies: The Keystone Tire and Rub
Der Co. stock selling around per cen
and the Kansas and Gulf Co. Do you con
/. slider both companies solvent and withu
apparent possibilities of receivership?~
N. b. c.
Answer-The Keystone Tire an
Rubber Company has suffered appre
ciably from existing conditions in the
tire industry and operations for 1920
and 1921 have resulted in respective
losses Of, $1,599,264 and $67S,039 in
these years. Net working capital at
the close of 1921 was $1,295,498. The
Kansas and Gulf Company reports a
surplus of s2,142,299 for the year 1921,
after payment of dividends of 90 cents
per share on it's stock. We see nothing
in the condition of these companies
that indicates an approachment to the
conditions you mention.

Not All Bonds Suitable

Question: have $4,000 to invest and
have picked the following list for your
criticism. Ny idea is TO get good bonds
6 to per cent with reasonable safety
The list: Empire Gas and Fuel 7he, Inter-
boro Rapid Transit 7s. Lackawanna Steel
5s, New York New Haven & Hartford 6s,
Remington Arms So and Union Bag and
Paper Company 6s Any suggestions as
to changes in the above list or recon-
mendations of better securities of the
same nature will be greatly appreciated
j. F.. II.
Answer-Only three of the six bonds
you have under consideration conform
to our idea of fairly conservative
investment. They are Lackawanna Steel
5s, Remington IS and Union Bag and
Paper 6s The other three are suit
able for any one willing to assume a
business mans risk and who is in a
position to keep posted on develop
ments in these companies. We suggest
that if you are unwilling to buy $1,000
pieces of the three bonds we favor you
purchase $500 pieces of Kingdom Of
Denmark 6s, 1912, selling recently
around 80; United States Rubber 71as,
1880, selling around 1081a, and Inter
national Mercantile Marine 6s, 1941,
selling around So.

Big Returns Promised

Question: would sincerely appreciate
your opinion OF the stock issued by the
Harvey Rim and Wheel Company of Buff
falo. Their statesmen promise big returns
a disinterested party,--R. e. g.
Answer-Promises and predictions
are quite prolific with stock statesmen
selling speculative securities. and our
advice has always been to wait until
performance of the company indicates
by satisfactory earnings that the state
ments of their representatives have
been warranted. This policy should
be followed, we believe. We don't
know at what price stock of the Harvey
Rim and Wheel Company has been
offered to you, but outside brokers
were recently offering the stock at
about rs cents, if you insist on specu-
lating.

Preferred Stocks Suggested

These have been recommended: United
States Steel preferred. United Fruit pre-
ferred Baldwin Locomotive preferred.
What is the yield on the above? Are they
safe Kindly offer me suggestions
l.. A l..
Answer-AlI the stocks you men
toned are suitable for the kind Of in
vestment you want. At recent market
prices United States Steel preferred
returns about 81 per cent, Baldwin
preferred about 81 per cent and United
Fruit common (there is no preferred
about So per cent. New York Teie-
phone 81: per cent preferred, selling to
yield slightly less than per cent. also
would be suitable.

AZ your case there was no great need

simply to obtain greater diversified

that retaining stocks and bonds re-
celved as bequests is equivalent to ex-
pressing approval Of original owners
Judgment. tt ars'
As for exchanging all or part of
the Reading 49, 1897, because Of seq
regation difficulties, we see no cause
for alarm: Yet it seems that you have
a large proportion Of your Investment

well to substitute for portion of this
a good public utility such as Montana
