Traffic Director Eldridge has aban-

such pamphlet might provide motor
lists with an excuse for violating some
rule not printed in full.
The complete text of the regulations
makes booklet of 40 pages, and the

easier to refer to. Mr.. Eldridge sought
the advice of the Police Court judges,
however, and they were of the opin.

Following this decision, Mr.. Ed

Preferred Stock Redemption Price.
Continuing the discussion Of pre-
ferred stocks and the technical pro-
Visions that affect them. prospective
buyers should look into the matter
Of the redemption price. Not all
preferred issues r redeemable but
a good many are. This redemption
fiEure is always expressed in a certi-
ficate. Generally II is substantially
above the par value.
Now the important thing about
this fixed price at which a stock is
callsbie is that the market quotation
rarely oes much above that point.
II. for instance, a preferred stock is
r~edeemable 1t lis it is not likely to
sell at 100. simply because Investors
do not want TO pay a price much
above that at which they might be
compelled to surrender their hold
ings. It comes about from this that
It Is often possible to secure a
higher return from a preferred issue
caiIable at about the market price
than It Is from one non-oallable Of
equa1 investment merit otherwise.
To illustrate take two of the best
industrial preferred stocks. United
States Steel and Standard Oil of
New Jersye. The former is nom
callabIe and tho latter is cailable at

each case but Steel preferred sells
several points higher than Standard
Oil OF New Jersey preferred. making
the last named give the higher re-
turn.
Another important matter relates
to the right to subscribe to new
stock. Ordinarily that privilege is
accorded holders OF the common
stock only but sometimes the pre-
ferred shares this right with the
common. In the same way voting
power generally resides in the com
mon stock only. While to the aver
age small stockholder voting power
is of little moment 1t does have
some value and a preferred stock
which possesses 1t is more desirable
than one that does not.
One more observation as to these
preferred stocks. In a rapidly ris-
ing speculative market, one in which
common stocks make new high
records" every day preferred stocks
must not be expected TO do the
same. Because their dividend is
fixed their possibilities of price APP
probation are limited. The fact that
a preferred stock of assured invest
ment rating does not participate In
any such advance is not TO be held
against It. What an investor wants

wise he is a Spectator.
