1926 is BANNER YEAR
FOR MOST RAILROADS
Greatest Freight Traffic in History
Is Handled Without Car
Shortages.

An outstanding record in transpor-
tation achievement, the railroads or
the United States during 1926 handled
without transportation tie-upS, con-
gestion or temporary car shortage
the greatest freight traffic ever Of
fered to them by the shippers of the
country. New high marks were set
in car loadings for the year for a
given number of weeks and for a
given week, although passenger traf-
flc in the first nine months of the
year showed a falling off Of less than
| per cent under the corresponding
period in 1925.
One of the outstanding reasons for
the service the railroads rendered IN
1926, according to the American Rail
way Association review of the trans
portation year today, was the large
expenditure for capital improvements.
aggregating 1915, 900 during the
year. Greater cooperation on the
part of shippers, both individually
and collectively, and through the
shippers regional advisory board, now
located in all parts of the country,
has also been of aid to the railroads
in successfully meeting the record
traffic.
Loading of revenue freight for the
year will amount to $3.50. 600 cars,
an estimate based on actual loading
for the first so weeks of the year, to-
taling 81 ,5S6, 900 cars. Loading of
revenue freight exceeded 100000
cars for q weeks OF the year, while
the greatest loading for any one week
in railroad history was reported for
the week ended October 30, total of
1,216,432 cars. Not only did the num-
ber of cars loaded with revenue
freight in 1926 exceed all previous
records, but also the volume of freight
traffic as measured in net ton miles,
exceeded by 40 per cent the best
previous record, established in 1928.
Greater economy and efficiency in
the use Of fuel resulted in a new low
record in the amount of fuel used
while the carriers this year had fewer
locomotives and freight cars in need
of repair than at any time in recent
years.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Redemption and Call Provisions.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

On March Is the Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey will retire $500, 900 900
par value of it's Z per cent preferred
stock. The call price is Sis a share.
SO that the operation involves some
$3.50 200, 900. In part, the funds to ac-
complish this huge financing were
secured by q new issue of per cent
debenture bonds and in part by sale
to the stockholders of 3,449,317 shares
of new common stock.
This exchange of securities makes
timely some reference to the whole
subject of redemption and call provi-
siOns as they affect bonds and pre-
ferred stock. Whenever a corpora
ton sells a new bond issue or mar
kets a new block of preferred stock
it usually, although not always, re
serves the right to cancel the obliga
tion at a stated price if and when
circumstances make such a course
profitable to the company.
Now the Standard Oil of New Jer
sey preferred stock was issued, or
most of 1t, in 1919 and 1920, when it
cost a great deal more to borrow
money than it does today. For this
per cent issues, a high grade invest
ment, the stockholders paid par seven
years ago, but the corporation look
ing forward to a time when money
would be easier, reserved the privi-
lege to take back its preferred stock
at price of 115. The stockholders
who bought 1t at that time saw no
objection to this provision, because
1t allowed them a 15-pont profit.
The case is quite different with
those who bought the stock in the
past year above lis. These sustained
loss which, however, was partially
compensated for by the high return
they had been receiving on their
money. considering the grade of the
investment
Had Standard Oil of New Jersey
preferred stock been non-callabIe. as
Is United States Steel preferred, 1t
would have sold 10 points or more
higher in the open market. United
states Steel preferred sells around
lZ9 as this is written, whereas the
price of Standard Oil of New Jersey
preferred at the time the stock was
called was about 116. This spread
or around 13 points measures the
Vaiue to the stockholders of a non
callaole stock as compared with one
that is callable.
