EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Utilities Popular.

Startling statistics were made pub.
lie the other day by the American
Gas Association with reference to the
amount of new money invested in
public utility securities during the
first four months of 1925. The record
shows that sales OF stocks and bonds
of public utility companies to en-
ployes, customers and the general
public from January l to April 80,
1925, were at the rate of IS ,000, 900 a
day. Sundays and holidays included
This confirms the testimony of the
stock market during the same period
when public utility shares were ad-
vanced to record high prices. Never
was this class of security 50 popular
with investors as it has been this
year. In large measure this public
confidence is justified, particularly as
il relates to the electric light and
power industry. The demand for the
services these electric light and power
companies supply is steadily increas-
ing and the limit is not yet In sight.
New uses are found for electricity
almost daily and the earnings of es-
tablished companies show steady and
progressive increases.
All this admitted there is a very
real danger that leads on by specu-
latiYe enthusiasm investors will for
let the conservatism upon which all
soupd investment is founded. Optim-
ISM with regard to the future Of the
public utility industry should be COM
bined with caution when purchasing
Junior securities at a time like the
present. Each individual stock or
bond should be examined on its merits.
While the general situation is bright
there are without any doubt some
stocks which in their swift upturn
have more than discounted all the
favorable features.
Every movement of this kind goes
too far and investors will be wary
about following the crowd without
discrimination. Certainly this applies
to the common stocks of the utilities
many of which are selling at prices
which give no return on the money
invested adequate to the risk involved.
Fortunately the same condition does
not apply in the case of the utility
preferred stocks which have had no
advance commensurate with their i'm.
proved status and which are still sell
ing to give larger returns than al
most any other kind of investment
carrying the same degrees of safety.
The reason is that the speculative
possibilities of these preferred stocks
are negligible, but that is no objection
from an investment standpoint.
