EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
A Word for Preferred Stocks.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

There is Il certain class of investors
who refuse to have anything to do
with preferred stocks. They are
willing to take bonds, or sometimes,
when they feel they can afford "a
little risk, to buy common stocks,
but preferred issues they pass by en-
tirely.
The argument runs along this line:
A bondholder is a creditor. His claim
is fixed, and he knows just where
he stands. His only interest In the
business is that it remain solvent so
that his interest and principal will
be paid promptly when due. The
holder of the common stock is a
partner, and if he is willing to as
sumo that relation with the attendant
hazard. he ought to be compensated
by having his pro rata share of all
the profits when there are profits, for
he must share losses in the same way.
A preferred Stockho. der. on the
other hand. takes all the chances of
partnership, but is allowed only a
minimum share of the profits. The
fact that this minimum share must
be paid to him before the common
sock receives anything is not enough
advantage TO Offset the handicap of
this position, so the theory goes.
There is good deal TO be said in
favor of this view, but those who
hold it overlook one point, and that
is that generally the market price of
preferred stocks. compared with
bonds, takes all these facts into con-
sidera ton. and there is sufficiently
higher return to be had from the pre-
ferred stock over that obtainable on
The bond to justify the purchase of
the former even with these apparent
drawbacks.
In one group this situation is very
noticeable today, and that is the
public utilities. The buyer of a public
utility preferred stock does indeed
assume the position of a partner and
by that much a position inferior to
that of the hondholder. He does not
nave the chance to share in the
growth and prosperity of the busi-
ness as does the holder of the COM
mon stock. All this is true, but it is
also true that for accepting this con-
dlti3n he receives high compensation

DROP IS REPORTED
IN SHIP BUILDING

NEW YORK. October IA de
| cline of more than 10000 gross tons
in world ship construction during
the past three months, bringing the
total tonnage building to the lowest
level since the war. is reported by
Lloyd's register Of shipping, in a sur
vey covering returns from all mari
time countries for the quarter ending
September 80. While general ship
construction has been decreasing
throughout the current year with the
exception of motor vessels, the
present return shows a decline in that
gross tons less than in the previous
quarter.
The only increases were shown in
Italy and Holland Great Britain and
Ireland reported a decrease of $4,000
gross tons, France of 10000 tons,
Denmark 1000 tons and the United
States $4,000 tons. Germany showed
the greatest drop of all-more than
100000 tons.
Little Change in Order.
There was little change in the
ranking of the various leading ship
building nations during the past
quarter. Great Britain and Ireland,
Germany, Italy, France and Holland
retained their positions in the order
named, as in the last quarter. Sweden
broke into the ranks of nations with
more than $4,000 tons under way, and
Japan was merged into the list of
other countries" her total at the
end of the last quarter having been
only $4,000 tons. This brings the
United States to the bottom of the
list of countries for which individual
returns are given. Denmark, whom
she led in the June quarter, has
pushed slightly ahead.
More Tankers for Year.
The check in the motor vessel build
ing boom was said to be due to the
decrease in that class of construction
in the yards Of Great Britain and
Ireland chiefly. Figures for the other
maritime countries combined show a
slight increase.
A decrease in the tonnage of
tankers building, as compared with
the total at the end of the June
quarter but an increase over a year
ago, was shown by Lloyd's returns
A somewhat encouraging feature
was seen in the fact that new work
begun during the last quarter was
somewhat in excess of launchings.
while in the previous quarter the
reverse was the case.

such action, according to leaders OF
Congress already here, is bound 10
come even if the strike is settled pe-
fore December. 1t will not come
however. as a result of pressure from
Tho administration or from the Amefi-
can Federation of Labor, put from

The next few days will determine
the strength of the parties TO the an

Enough Hard Coal So Far.
So far the reserve stocks of anthra-
cite have proved sufficient for general
needs in most consuming districts.
The mine workers have taken colli
fort from the fact that New England
has been slow to adopt substitutes.
The operators have seen little of en-

have been high and they have main
tained the utmost pressure on their
dealers to prevent the latter urging
the use of substitutes for anthracite.
How long they can hold their dealers
in line after the pinch comes they ad-
NIT they are unable to say.
None the less, many experts here
in close touch with both the industrial
and labor sides of the controversy
declare that President Lewis of the
Mine Workers has already lost this
strike They point out that for the
last 10 weeks bituminous production
has averaged II ,000,000 tons week,
whereas consumption has not exceed

added 20 600 900 tons to reserve stocks,
