NEW COAL BONDS
AXE NOT WISE
Bonds Issued by n coal mining
company can hardly be said 10 have
the qualifications commanding them
10 conservative investors. In the
first place. the mining industry rep.
rescnts a liquidatlnE proposition. that
IL. each ton Of coal taken out. re.
duces the assets ultimately available.
Serial maturities. or sinking fund
charge. have been adopted in some
cases 20 meet this objection.
but such fixed charge entails a
serious depletion Of working capital
in times OF full operation and makes
the cost Of coal mined practically
prohlbitlYc In times Of severe compe.
tltion. In any event. II must be OBJ
vlous. even on casual reflection. that,
after IA period OF years Of large de.
mand and good prices for coal such
an we have had, any new borrowing
either TO expand mining operations
or carry a large inventory. does not
evidence conservatism.
Under the present outlook for
business the Babsonehart shows II
