EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Redemption Clauses.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Stockholders of National Lead re-
Gently approved recapitalization plan
which increases the authorized pre-.
ferred from 5000 900 to $50, 900, 900,
half to be of class "a" per cent and
half of class "B" per cent. The
authorized common is also raised from
$25, ,000, 900 to $50, 100000. All this is
preliminary to a stock distribution.
The important thing. however. from
an investment standpoint is the de-
cision to eliminate the redemption
clause from the provisions affecting
the preferred stock.
This Is significant of the trend of
the time. National Lead has always
had a unique condition attached to
its preferred issue. Under the char
ter it was possible up to now for the
preferred stock to be redeemed at any
time at the option of the company "at
price not less than par, with accrued
unpaid dividends. on 80 days notice."
Theoretically this gave the directors
the power to call the preferred at any
price they saw fit to fix, provided it
was not less than 100. Naturally in
vestors hesitated o pay a premium
for a stock that might be redeemed
substantially below the purchase price.
So this possibility operated to pre-
vent Lead preferred from selling at
figure commensurate with it's high
investment rating.
The fact that there was never any
real probability tf the directors exer-
cising the power Of redeeming the pre-
ferred, especially as the amount of
preferred outstanding was greater
than that of the common, did not suf-
nee to hold the market price up to
the level of other preferred issues in
its class. This condition has now
been remedied.
1t is an apt illustration of the i'm.
portance attached to redemption pro.
visions in the present market. In.
vestors who believe money rates are
going to stay low. or perhaps, go
lower, give the preference to securi.
ties which are free to reflect credit
conditions in their market price

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 2S.-The weel
closed on the Stock Exchange with
the movement of prices more orderly
than at any time during the period
In view of the two days suspension
Of business it might have been ex'
pected that profit-taking sales would
have played more of a part than they
did in today's brief session. The main
body of stocks held comparatively
firm, but the excited speculation,
which carried prices forward sharply
on the preceding day, was not in evil

Had there been any thought that
other prominent motor companies
would follow the action of Hudson in
reducing June production schedules,
it was not reflected in the action of
General Motors stock and Chrysler,
whose output has been maintained at
a high rate. The former at 1876 was
almost points higher and the latter
changed hands in enormous volume
at an advance Of almost point. The
pressure against Hudson Motor was
lifted and the disposition was to cover

which went forward to new high for
the year. OF course, there was the
incentive of S5 guarantee, and with
this in mind the stock was considered
attractive in the present rail share
market. Pennsylvania sold at it's
highest, the demand rejecting belief
that shareowners are likely to receive
valuable rights. Pere Marquette was
another which went into new high
ground for the year, above 140. Texas
& Pacific was another that was promi-
nent in the upward movement, and at
SO was almost points higher on the
day.
The usual number of specialties
were brought to the front. National
Distillers, opening at 311s, recorded
an overnight gain of almost points
to it's best prices. Along with this
stock went Z. S. Industrial Alcohol.
Reports were current of a formation
of holding company to acquire legit-
innate Government products, although
nothing official along this line has been
Forthcoming. The demand for Texas
land trust certificates, new, carried
them to a price equivalent to almost
$4,000 for the old. and was coincident
with the rumor that prominent Stand
ard Oil interests were increasing their
holdings.
New High Records.
New high records for the year also
were established in international
Nickel, up almost 2 points; Weber &
Heilbroner, up a like amount; Public
Service Corporation of New Jersey
and Westinghouse Air Brake. Buying
of the last-named issue was further
response to the possibility of an early
recapitaliZation, whereby stockhold-
ers will benefit through a substantial
distribution in stock.
Baldwin sold at it's highest price in
history, and there was little stock OBJ
tainable on the way up. Speculation
for the rise went out of the coal
stocks, and the disposition was to take
down profits recently accrued.
