EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Is This the Time to Buy Stocks?
Utilities 7
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Utilities 1.
The two outstanding facts with re.
gard to public utility stocks at pres
are higher in proportion to earnings
are higher in proportion to earnings
than those of any other group en-
titled to an investment rating, and
second, that the utilities report con
siStent increases in net income month
by month. 1t is the Iast-named con.
sideration that explains the relatively
high price of the stocks. More fun
damental is the record over a period
OF years.
Electric light and power companies
and the telephone corporations have
demonstrated the stability of their
earning power, while the gas COM
panies come close behind. The trac-
tions are, OF course, an exception.
Subject as they are to special condi
tons, the fractions are not classed as
utilities for the purpose of this article.
Any analysis then of the utility
stocks begins with the proposition
that the investor who buys at the
current level need not concern him
self about any minor fluctuations in
industry, such as are so important to
the steel producers or to manufac-
turers generally. He need not worry
about competition either. That is the
fly in the ointment in the automobile
industry. but it is no factor with the
utilities. They have a monopoly. a
natural monopoly.
True, utility rates are regulated by
the public authorities and there are
limits TO their possible profits, but that
is no objection to the buyer whose Oh.
ject is investment. One more point in
favor of the utilities is that by and
large they have won an enviable posi-
tion in the public favor. In this re-
spect they have the advantage over
the railroads. There is no movement
looking III the reduction Of the charges
the utilities ask for their service com
parable TO that which appears period.
ically among railroad shippers.
Summing it up then there is nothing
in sight TO forecast adversely for the
public utilities and the only question is
10 what extent this pleasing prospect
'nas been discounted in the current
quotations for the stock8
